I hope not. Around here, you just step outside and there will be a dozen swarming around you.

I use separate WiFi access points. A single access point built into a router doesn’t cover a very large area if you want high speed on 5 or 6 GHz.

I prefer a rectangular metal box. It’s even better if it can be mounted in a mini rack.

So what’s the actual brightness? Peak brightness is meaningless since it doesn’t tell you how viewable it will be in sunlight.

Yeah, no. If you really need to run Android apps on a PC, you can run them with Waydroid.

Either wait a while or access it from a different IP address. If you have both IPv4 and IPv6, try forcing it to use one or the other with the -4 and -6 options.

It’s probably an mSATA SSD. They look like a mini PCIe card, but they are keyed differently and use SATA.

At least the streaming sites seem to be taking the media companies attention away from the other methods of acquiring content.

They are disabling it because the license cost went up 4 cents? Just pass that cost onto the customer. Even if they mark that up several times, I would rather pay that than have my battery drained because I have to software decode a video.

There is still a lot of H.265 content out there. I have many terabytes of it that I don’t want to transcode.

TV seasons usually get uploaded to TorrentLeech pretty quickly. They are freeleech too.

You can’t hide or get rid of the browser fingerprint, but some addons can help to randomize it so it looks like you’re using a different device every time you visit a site.

It is not recommended to run the arr stack through a VPN because cloudflare will cause problems. Only the torrent client should go through the VPN.

Inleed.xyz has free email hosting with IMAP and POP3 access. You can have as many accounts as you want, but there’s a limit of 1GB shared between all of them.

You need to backup any data you want to keep to another drive before installing.

Make sure there’s nothing important on the flash drive too. Writing the iso will erase everything on it.

They’ve had it for years. It can be difficult to sign up for though.

You get a lot of resources for free, but don’t use them for anything important. They can nuke your account for any reason.

You can also use exFAT if you want cross platform support. It’s had a Linux kernel driver for quite a while now.

Yes, they do require you to use their nameservers unless you have a business account.

Maybe we shouldn’t make most of the internet reliant on one company.

The AI bubble can’t pop soon enough.

Some people modify phones to run without an internal battery. That’s a bit of a pain since the screen will have to be detached and there will be wires hanging out though.

Laptops are easier. Most of them will still boot with the battery disconnected. They will usually show a warning during boot and some of them will require you to press a key to continue booting. Running without a battery may limit the performance, especially if you’re not using the highest wattage charger the laptop supports.
