Brother laser printers last for years without issue. My point was that so long as you put in a little effort to find something that isn’t cheap shit you can actually get a product without any major issues.

Cheap wireless earbuds will fail, and will cause all sorts of frustration. On the other hand, well sourced earbuds will work for years without problems, just like printers.

My wireless g304 has been rock solid for years now. The battery lasts about 48 hours of active use before needing to be recharged. My Logitech ergo lift mouse has been rock solid for the past year as well and it’s still running on it’s very first battery!

I bought both for wrist pain reasons and for the most part they have also been very helpful for that too. Part of the reason I went wireless even for gaming is that the cable always dragged and caused issues with the mouse catching on occassion. It’s very worth whatever “instability” you might see for any product that moves.

My wireless earbuds have been rock solid for several years as well. As far as I’m concerned, wireless has been a solved problem for a little while now, similar to printers. There’s no point in needing a battery for something that doesn’t move, like a keyboard, but damn if it isn’t really nice for something that does.

I’ve already voted. I don’t have the ability to volunteer for anything, so I’m working on removing all the doomer posting and adding blocks on my feeds. No point in stressing about something I have no more ability to help with.

Network paths in libraries have been fully removed and will no longer work. This functionality has been deprecated for a long time, and most of it was removed in 10.9.0, but this removes the remainder. See PR #12446. Third-party clients relying on this functionality should be able to re-implement it as required.

Shame about the network location regression. That’s the only thing that keeps my kodi device from taking 5-15 seconds to load each sub menu.

It didn’t actually. If it had, I wouldn’t have pulled up my podcast app to find and listen to this episode, only to find that it didn’t exist.

Ah. I get it. Pet peeves do be the worst sometimes.

They really aren’t that far off… https://robindev.substack.com/p/cloudflare-took-down-our-website

Yup. If the sd card doesnt have enough space for everything, you could attach an m.2 hat to it as well. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/using-m-2-hat-with-raspberry-pi-5/

Basically, jellyfin on the pi, with the wifi setup as an access point, and whatever amount of storage you need. The pi requires 5v/5a, so you’ll probably run into issues running off the car usb power, but a cheap 30amp hour battery should run it for 6-10 hours if my napkin math is right.

Yes. It’s why I know they weren’t appropriate suggestions for the requests.

This is the second time I’ve seen this movie genuinely recommended for a spot where it doesn’t belong. I swear, y’all horror movie watchers lose track of just how horrifying your movies get.

The other time it was suggested as a kids movie.

And completely fails the “no gore” requirement.

such an incorrect statement

Not sure why you’re so confident about that. I’m not the only person who says this, not even in this thread.

For the price, the iPhone dongle is also pretty damn good too.

After minor setup, my experience has been incredibly plug and play.

You understand that, for everyone except for a complete network pro, that is worse for security and privacy, right?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s great that you can.

But the reason piracy websites struggle so much with long term stability isn’t because they’re hosting the wrong software.

I’ve been on LMDE for several years now and had no major issues with my 1080. But also I have no idea if I had to do anything to get it started.

I knew the forced dns thing because I have a pihole, and blocking port 53 traffic not heading to my two PIs has not happened yet, despite my best efforts. Shit aint simple for me, much less regular people.

Pihole can be broken with a free vpn, or even just forced DNS on device.

Not on my work computer, the only place I use windows, I can’t. A workaround is never a complete fix.

Well, I’d say the start menu peaked in Windows 7, where it only showed good local results, but it is still the best way to open something I know the name of.
