When the programmers of these old titles are saying they’d rather have people keep playing them even if they’re only available on archive site, I say screw the publishers.

This is what I’ve been waiting for. Super easy.

If I were a woman this is what I’d do. Great, loyal animal, that will give you peace of mind knowing they’ll keep the creeps away.

And how exactly are they going to enforce this? Kids always find a way around … always.

This is super fun and heart warming. Love it!

It’s really not. I have one on my work laptop and have never plugged an Ethernet jack into it. That stays permanently in my dock and gets transferred to the laptop via USB-C. All other non-desk work is done via … WiFi. Shock! Literally can’t tell the difference when making money.

Not to mention discord channels you have to be invited to.

Ones that will last will cost you. Oelo Lighting Solutions, Jellyfish, and Gemstone are all great but $$$$.

I never ask why since it’s damned obvious, I don’t work for a charity either. I ask why this company. Get much better insight into candidates.

None. We have made politics a taboo subject at dinner. We know we don’t agree (older generations vs younger) and would rather converse about things we enjoy like the grandkids etc.

Well yes and no. With running or writing those actions will stop at some point because we aren’t capable of doing them forever. Infinity doesn’t stop.

I think of it this way, infinity is an action. It’s not a “thing.” This is why it’s not countable. It doesn’t stop to be counted.

Probably need to see a speech therapist.

When I want a quick bag, sure do. Kirkland (Costco) popcorn is great and dirt cheap.

But when I want great popcorn we use our popcorn popping machine with some coconut oil, flavocol, and butter topping. This is the recipe the movie theaters use.

Panasonic inverter microwaves are the best in the industry for residential. They’re the only ones that can control the microwave power level without cheapening out and turning it on and off only. The over the range microwaves aren’t any better unless they’re an Advantium type that cooks with light and convection fan.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t work well in either a) dry climates and/or b) high altitude. We have to add about 45 secs to the popcorn mode or it stops short for us. Took a while to get that right.

Fortunately, this is normal at high altitude. Normal cooking rules don’t apply and always have to be modified. Lol.

Drove through North Dakota once. It was all corn for hours. Absolutely stupid amounts.

Hi there!

I’ve got 3 Apple TVs, 3 HomePod minis of which 1 is the preferred hub. For some reason my setup is a lot more stable on a mini. The Apple TVs over Ethernet always ends up causing no response.

I’ve got a mix of devices. Lutron Caseta switches, Meross garage opener, Tradfri bulbs, Tapo bulbs, Tapo outlets, Meross thermostat extension cord, Meross switch, Ring security system and cameras/doorbell, Harmony smart hub, string lights, rainbird sprinkler system, and various airplay 2 devices from home theater receiver to an AirPort Express 2 running my office speakers.

Running various automations for lights coming on and off, fans on and off and shutting the garage door later in the evening if we forget. As you mentioned, I’ve also got a homebridge server to get Ring into the system. It’s also bridging the Rainbird sprinklers, Harmony smart hub.

I’ve been trying to get products that only work on Matter thread but they’re harder to find. Most of my newer stuff is Matter over WiFi. I’ve got an extensive Eero mesh system that works well so I’m not too worried about over saturation.

Oh they’re still out there. Just in a higher class.

iCloud since I’ve been all in on the Apple ecosystem since … 2004ish (Tiger was a great OS).

Pros:

• Super fast
• Doesn’t need to backup system files
• No limit to # of devices, only storage size
• Reliable
• Restore process is arguably the easiest out of any solution
• Priced fairly (despite people complaining, yeah their free tier is useless)

Cons:

• Only backs up Apple devices.
• Relies on connection speed alone, no shipped hard drive option

If I had to pick a platform agnostic one it’d be Backblaze.

Pros:

• Solid
• Light on resources
• Fairly priced (last I checked) and unlimited is reasonable
• Can do shipped hard drive restores if needed.

Cons:

• Limited backup controls
• Must provide key to decrypt on restore
• Restore process sucks
