Done. Sorry I missed it at first!

I used names of fictional robots, androids and self-aware computers (though I avoided HAL for obvious reasons) for a long time. These days my wife and I usually go with an indirect reference to the function or hardware - Ex. a device named Anathema, or a Raspberry Pi server named Marie (as in Marie Callendar, a former local pie/restaurant chain). I had an expendable frankenputer for tinkering that I called RedShirt.

Currently trying to come up with a name other than Chris for the PineTab 2.

Edit to add: Places I've worked have used Roman emperors, drink brands, Simpsons characters, and of course basics like "IIS1" "MAIL4" "QA-3" and so on. Some would add numbers to the names sequentially, others would use the last octet of the IP address.

At least until the NUCs run out, now that Intel's discontinuing them

That's something I noticed when I first started using it, too. One of the first things was picking out the different kids of small birds that my brain had previously filed under "small bird." A sparrow here, a finch there, a warbler or a phoebe, those are starlings not blackbirds or small crows, etc.

I'm still not good at telling different dandelion-like species apart, though, and I'm happy to let the app make its best guess on those and let someone else sort them out!

I tried setting up both for a local music server last year, and found Plex's cloud requirements and constant upselling were more of a pain than it was worth. Jellyfin was the one I kept.

Makes sense. Thanks!

Similar experience here, esp. with the comments.

It’s unclear what evidence Twitter has that former employees who now work at Meta continue to have access to Twitter intellectual property or trade secrets. Twitter responded to a request for comment with an automated email of a poop emoji.

Or for once the poop emoji is an accurate representation of the "evidence."

Stopped clock and all that.

Yeah, this really needs to have

  1. A clear, user-visible list of which domains are quarantined
  2. A clear, user-visible explanation of why those domains are quarantined
  3. A way to say "Fine, but I want to allow this extension on this site" like the location and camera preferences, rather than simply turning the entire feature on and off.

Sadly typical for cults, even cults of personality.

I don't think so. I assume this bit in the wiki for PineTab2 is referring to active styluses when it mentions pen inputs. (Presumably a passive stylus should work.)

Does the Tablet support a Pen?
No, adding a digitiser for pen inputs would make the price too high.
