Shame.

My experience with Mikrotik was poor and I don’t use or recommend them to anyone, but I still hope to see them continue to improve and be very successful.

Isn’t SW all just retcon now anyway?

It’s not like Lucas started with a complete world like Tolkien, just some ideas.

And sometimes that’s all I need it to do, while I’m busy working on or learning something else.

We’re all lazy, to greater/lesser degrees, or about different things.

It’s up to the individual to face our own weaknesses.

Sounds like the rage against books at one time.

AI has lit a fire under my learning speed. It’s staggering what I can find and put together. Whether it’s IT stuff or biology, biochem, or history.

I’ve found incredible resources on all, directly connected to what I want to learn.

The DVD today comes with the endings.

Love it.

Mailbox.org

I pay for it to have more spam accounts. Free gives you like 5 secondary addresses. For $30/year I get 25 secondary addresses.

Edit: they support multiple ways to pay so you can separate your payment info from your account.

I’m not sure if that’s overstated, it’s news to me too. I’m aware of zinc as a skin-healing treatment, and it has a vasodilation effect through (I believe) topical application, so perhaps that’s being mis-stated (or that lends credence to promoting growth).

I did find this from a quick search.

The rabbit hole beckons - off I go.

Copper is a well-known anti-microbial.

“Allowed”?

I think you misunderstand how legislation works.

I’m assuming that’s to go with the martini, since that’s such a simple drink?

Not all phones use them. Important to know if yours does to ensure you’re always flashing to the correct partition/slot.

I assume you used the boot.img from your phone, copied that to the phone, patched it with Magisk on the phone, then copied the patched image to your pc and flashed that to boot. (I know, it’s such a clumsy process anymore thanks to Google).

What I do is flash the phone, copy the boot.img from the source zip to the phone, then do the rest. That way I know I’m working with the right version of boot.img. I also save the patched boot.img with the source zip, properly named (device name, version, etc) so I never mix it up with other device images.

I also do this as one of my first steps setting up a phone, before installing anything else. Not sure that makes any difference, but I also use some root apps (firewall, etc) that I want in place before installing apps.

Yep, sometimes point-to-point permanently switched connections.

Hell, I had to deal with some of these in the 90’s for our clients to access our cell system (analog!)

Good points.

There’s certainly nuance there to be considered, which my statement doesn’t really address.

Piracy isn’t stealing. At most it’s an IP violation.

I’d argue the creator sees the second purchaser’s revenue in the original price of the product, and the original purchaser may not have bought if they couldn’t resell.

Net sale is the same, just distributed across two consumers.

I’d say mostly that media companies have become openly hostile to consumers - the very people who buy their products - as your example shows.

If I can’t legally buy the media, then I’m left with no choice but to pirate it.

Yes

DietPi is such a game changer.

Currently running it in a VM just for PiHole, and the ease of installing anything is nice.

For all the naysayers - I’ve wanted a fold since the S4 (2014ish) when Samsung demo’d two S4’s hinged together.

Being able to double screen real-estate when needed (eg having a tablet sometimes) but carrying it in a phone-sized device makes lots of sense.

And having double the physical space inside offers an opportunity for better heat management - if only to shift the battery to the other side (also means you can fit a physically larger battery).

Lots of potential, but also lots of hurdles to overcome. Unfortunately they’ve all focused on making the screen seamless first, rather than making the software seamless first.

Yea, small business routers (think old Cisco boxes) use a 5A laptop-style power supply. I suspect this is what OP’s using, as I’ve never seen a consumer model with such power specs. Consumer stuff is built around the cheapest hardware they can get away with.

Thing is, I don’t doubt the Cisco box (or similar business units) may need that much juice at times. Put your hand over one that’s not connected but powered on and they get hot.

Stuff like that they really don’t care about power consumption during design, just capability.
