Its also free to play.

Or as some streamers say: its a $60 game with an incredibly generous free trial.

The internet and cloud points are my favorite. Specifically the fact that those things are out of the picture.

No VLAN configuration necessary. The hub is "the VLAN". They literally can't phone home because they have no route to the internet, with no extra setup necessary. For WiFi devices, I have to make sure they're connecting to the right VLAN and controlled properly, and if I misconfigure something, they are phoning home or joining a botnet.

(This stops being as applicable if you have a sketchy hub you don't trust, but I trust deconz and ZHA fine enough in this context).

Because of how starlink works, they have to aim satellites specifically at areas for data to flow. They have the ability to turn regions on and off (ie, satellites over China).

They know exactly where the transceivers are and based on movement patterns, probably which side they are on.

Unless he is feeding that position data to the Ukrainian military, he knows exactly who is using them and letting it happen. He didnt sell them the dishes, but he lets them be used.

Mine doesn't seem to have much dust in it (I don't usually keep it in a pocket) and it seems like the cable seats all the way, but more of a situation where the metal housing is bent so doesn't grip the cable properly. 🤷

Edit: well ill be... I got a needle in there. Very little came out. Cable seats in what looks like the exact same depth as before, but now it holds the cable better. Mind blown. Apparently 0.1mm worth of dirt is all it takes

Same. The USB port struggles to retain the cable sometimes, but this phone has kept me happy for a very long time.

I wonder what it would take to just repair the USB port.

These sorts of decisions can impact future decisions. It is to early to say that this is a trend, so people shouldn't get all up in arms over things. But still, using other company histories as a basis, it is concerning about where this could end up.

Debian's stability doesn't mean "rock solid, no crashes." It means "non-changing, you don't have to worry about configs suddenly being incompatible."

There have been plenty of situations where I've found that Debian won't update a package. They backport "security" fixes. But only on certain packages. If a package that is not on the Debian maintenance radar, or the bug isn't "serious" enough to be "security" related, that bug will be in Debian for years. And the end result is needing to compile your own.

If for your workflow, it is a critical package, then Debian becomes more prone to crashes than other distros, and you could argue it's less stable.

I still use it for my server, which is just dockerized everything anyway (using the docker repos, because Debian's docker is excessively out of date), but neovim is on version 0.7.2 (even in sid, you have to go to experimental to get to 0.9.5, which is the current). If there are bugfixes between 0.7.2 and 0.9.5 beyond "security" ... you don't get them. And you won't even get them in the next version. Which means if you need any 0.8 features/bugfixes, you won't get them for years.

6.1 is the current kernel that debian uses. so it's not like debian is brand new anyway.

They love taking money and then not delivering products in a timely manner and they take several months to issue refunds as well. Probably among other things.

This feels like "Lisa, I would like to buy your rock" but I don't think it is...

Dragostea Din Tei (aka, the "Numa numa" song) is always a hit.

bluffing a threat to the plane by snapchatting your friend would be a weird move. No one on the plane even knew a "threat" was made.

It seems like "we have no details at all about the threat (because it wasn't actually credible), so let's just be prepared for every situation" is the logic.
