Maybe the cop lives there, decided to bring his work with him

Isn't the picture from Logan?

Edit: oh, it's called johntucker.jpg.

Fucking hell. Where's the incentive for responsible disclosure, if that's the sort of (non) response you get?

The casting bit is the missing piece for me.

I've built a RasPi with Kodi for our caravan, to use Plex and stream our free-to-air TV here in Australia (using Musk's space innernets). I just miss being able to cast from my phone, for the occasional thing I can't do with a Kodi add-on.

In my mind, rich means not having to work again. A couple million doesn’t even get close, sadly.

Well, at least where I live, phones are banned in schools. So that’s a good start.

This is odd advice, when you consider many kids in the same age group probably have access to (or own) a tablet device of some sort. The only difference with a smartphone is the ability to call and text, and portability while staying connected (assuming many tablets aren't 4G/5G capable).

Or am I missing something here?

Nearly 30 years ago, I worked for a tiny li'l anti-virus software company that got acquired by one of the big boys, and everyone's performance-based options they were holding were suddenly worth a lot. Being hungry for career growth at the time, I'd left the company and forfeited those options. Less than 6 months later, they announced the sale of the company.

My options woulda been worth a few million at the time, maybe double that in today's money. Importantly, it would've set me up with a nice house, car, etc, without any debt, in my early 20s.

Not rich, but certainly comfortable.

I paid a subscription fee for the option

I'm starting to really hate this timeline. Might be time to pick another door.

RAID5 and unlimited downloads on my 1Gbps fibre. All I backup is my library metadata itself, using a 2N+C strategy.

It possibly would, but I don't have any Homekit devices, and I just feel hat this is a simple thing a home automation app should offer, it's almost conspicuous by it's removal/absence.
