I loved synology, this is such a punch in the gut. After I adopted them myself like 10ish years ago, I converted my dad, and two seperate friends to pick one up too. Never going back now.

Characters from resident evil video game. At least in RE4, you play as Leon and there’s a mysterious woman in a red dress who drops in occasionally to mess with you.

Apparently she keeps taking care of herself afterwards, but Leon winds up as a bum lol.

Kind of similar to Ash in Pokémon who remains a kid, when Misty becomes an adult and moves on with her life but in reverse.

Sami from advance wars definitely awakened something in kid me.

I have a bpi-r4, it’s fantastic, totally recommended.

No idea about its wifi 7 though, I didn’t buy the addon board, and went with unifi u7’s instead.

Also, looking at the specs of the upcoming openwrt two devices, with only a single 10g port, it won’t work well if you’re getting 10gig service from your ISP, and have a 10g lan as well

There’s an Interesting history of American cars in Japan. Ford had an incredible failure here, and had to leave with egg on their face, which is incredible because the mandatory vehicle inspections every couple of years make it the easiest country on the planet for dealerships to make money.

They tax vehicles by engine displacement though, so all those massive engines would be super unpopular, and as I understand it, they also shipped left hand drive cars here, which is absolutely unpractical.

One wonders why they didn’t just ship UK market fords here, they have the steering wheel on the right side, and the smaller size would be more likely to appeal to drivers with more narrow streets.

It is common to see chargers and mustang on the road in Tokyo though, but they’re all grey market imports.

As a techy guy, I absolutely hate automatic updates, but for any network connected device, if they don’t have automatic updates most people will literally never update.

Speaking on behalf of my family, they’ll let Internet-enabled stuff go unpatched for 10+ years (I think I had some relatives still using XP within the last couple of years lol).

I would argue this leave it alone behavior would be totally fine, if it wasn’t for every device nowadays being some Internet of shit thing that demands a wifi connection before it can even be setup, which is the real problem as I see it, especially as most of these companies won’t support them with security updates for as long as people expect to use them.

I do the same but with 2.5 inch sata ssd’s, and a hot swap bay in the front of my case. Swapping the OS is like using an old cassette player, now with 2TB of storage haha.

I kind of wish u.2 drives could take off in the same way, so I could do the same thing but with direct nvme storage.

Jellyfin is awesome (I use it with my shield TV), but the reason I found plex worth paying for is their audio companion plexamp, and its integration with carplay.

I tested a ton of different apps and services, and other then plex the only good carplay experience was from online only services like spotify or similar that come with hefty subscription fees. Internet auth does suck tho.

Not local, but I’ve been using my withings scale for at least 5 years, and I sync the weights with its home assistant automation from the withings api, then plot the data on a custom health dashboard I made.

I’d love a local alternative, but regardless I haven’t had any problems with my setup.

This article lacks some details, but I believe this is largely just treating a bicycle more like any other vehicle. As far as vehicle crimes go here, the existence of jail time as a punishment only exists if you don’t pay the fine, and these new laws just increase the fines.

Anyways, these changes are largely worthless for a couple of reasons. First it’s already a crime to use your phone while riding a bike, or riding drunk, or riding with headphones, but it’s basically totally unenforced. Same thing with riding using an umbrella, but even the police do that here!

As for drunkards getting home from the bar, they wouldn’t have a car available to them generally, so people riding drunk are usually doing so because they missed their last train, and they don’t want to pay for a taxi.

Be Me: Sysadmin/ devops guy for tech company with .ai external and .io internal domain 😭

The problem is Matt Mullenweg, he’s the source of all the drama (and to quote someone else, he’s Musk, but coded in php lol).

There’s a good long form write up here: https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/fire-matt (Sorry, not exactly a tldr, but I found this article this interesting)

Maybe I’m out of the loop, but I was under the impression people paying for the enterprise tier were largely using the model on their own hardware, and that the removal of this tier was largely just rent seeking by SD against people improving on their model and selling access to a better version.

Did SD really sell unlimited access to their compute/ image generator for a fixed price? If so that’s just so dumb it’s hard to believe. I only started paying attention to the company recently though, so maybe I’m missing something.

Cheers for all the hard work!

Gonna guess Wikipedia

To provide a counterpoint, I think it can definitely be worth it to throw together a cheap VR setup for this game.

I personally went through Half-life Alyx on my original Oculus Rift CV1 and it was still an amazing experience. I don't know where you live, but in my market a good condition CV1 is selling for about 10,000 yen (so that's equivalent to 65 USD, but your market will probably vary).

This is PC VR though, so you'll probably want a PC with at least a 1080-class GPU. Once you have the headset though there's a few games from the same era which had simlarly incredible experiences like Lone Echo.

For me, it didn't prompt the upgrade when I went to the firmware page, but it did prompt for it when I went into the matter settings page.

I think Switchbot does slow rollouts, but if it's not available for you yet you can just send them a message in the feedback page of the app and they'll probably be able push the upgrade to you (I've done this a couple of times for previous matter releases).

It's not thread-based matter to the vacuum directly, but matter over wifi using their Hub 2 as a bridge, but I just tested and it works! The vacuum shows up as a binary OnOff plug, toggling it on starts a cleaning session, and off cancels the session and returns the unit to base.

I should note, I had to update my Hub 2 firmware to V2.0-1.2, which also adds the ability to swap out the temperature and humidity sensors to other devices for being a matter bridge, which is nice.

From UCTronics. Take a look at their selection they’ve got a big range from basic ones like this, some with little displays included, and some that stack vertically to really maximize efficiency, etc.
