They don’t belong on the sidewalks. They take up too much room and will make it hard to get around in crowded areas.

Those versions of windows haven’t had support for years. They shouldn’t even be connected to the internet.

From what I’ve heard, google free android versions won’t be effected.

Consumers don’t really need that kind of speed, it just means higher power consumption and more heat.

I want high capacity, energy efficient SSDs.

Search still works and I can view the videos & channels I’ve bookmarked.

If they are based out of China, then Amazon won’t get a single cent out of them. They will be back up with a new name and website soon.

In Linux, the package manager will ask you if you want to install the dependencies. You don’t have to install them manually unless you’re compiling the program from source.

Hidden junk that a person wouldn’t see would likely be picked up by a screen reader. That would make the site much harder to use for a visually impaired person.

Charge time depends on the UPS. The cheap consumer grade ones usually have a float charger that takes forever.

Nickel iron is typically used for off grid solar energy storage. Weight doesn’t matter at all since the battery won’t be moved. The most important thing is lifetime. Traditional nickel iron batteries last for decades and can be refurbished.

UPS batteries need to be fully charged all the time. Lead acid batteries like to be fully charged. Lithium batteries need to be stored around 50% charge to have a long lifetime.

It would work fine without Cloudflare. The server is running the current version of OpenBSD, so it could be configured to safely host a website without any tunnels.

Mumble will do all of that except screen sharing. Only the server has to deal with NAT.

UHD bluray uses H.265. That’s one of the best codecs available right now. AV1 can do a bit better for certain content, but it’s not a huge difference. Basically nothing supports H.266 yet and AV2 is still in development.

Don’t rely on the VPN kill switch for torrenting. It’s not fast enough to prevent your IP from leaking if the VPN disconnects. The torrent client needs to be bound to the VPN interface. Transmission doesn’t have an option to do that, so you would have to run it in a container instead.

That worked when TV was analog and they were running megawatt transmitters. It doesn’t do so well with the low power digital stations unless you are close to the transmitters.

It weighs almost as much as my 14" laptop. They should split it into two pieces so you can mount the computer and battery to your belt.

Wow, grabbing a base64 obfuscated URL with curl sending the output to bash is a huge red flag. I guess Mac users must not know anything about the CLI.

Never pipe the output of curl or wget to bash. You can’t inspect whatever it downloads before it gets run. If the URL is obfuscated, there is basically a 100% chance that it’s malicious.

There’s Mumble for voice, text and images. The server is self hosted and there is no chat history so it’s private. It uses Opus so the audio quality is very good without using a lot of bandwidth. For gaming, it supports positional audio and a HUD that shows who is talking.

For the projects using Discord for support, they should move to a forum.

It’s also most certainly against the terms of service for your ISP, VPN or VPS, so you could get your service terminated.
