I never use the ports on my laptop. It never bothered me that they removed them all. Granted I know that’s just my use case I can t speak for everyone.

A client of mine pays for an SSL cert he doesn’t even use. I’ve told him before I moved him to Let’s Encrypt because I was able to automate the renew process. He decided he needed to continue paying for the SSL cert. I told him we are not using it, but he doesn’t believe me. So he continues to pay for it.

You can’t come at these people with facts.

Continue what you’re doing on the desktop and set up beeper with only your Facebook account to handle messages from your phone. It’s still not great, but I think it’s the best you’re going to get. You’re really only gaining Facebook, not seeing where you’re connecting from. Also, Beeper is just a pretty front end to a matrix server with a bridge connecting to Facebook Messenger. You could totally run it yourself if you wanted; check out the “self-host” link near the bottom of the page.

I don’t know this for sure, but I feel like this is something you can do with freetube. Regardless, it’s worth looking into.

My partner and I wanted one. We test-drove a Model Y and Model 3. We were fully ready to buy one for our next vehicle. That’s changed. We are looking at other EVs now. I won’t give him my money.

Any track in particular you're hoping for? We did get Eiger Nordwand Circuit this year.

Check out Kopia. It can create snapshots at almost any interval. I take one every 15 minutes. It deduplicates data, so it doesn’t take up a lot of space. You can also go back and retrieve a version of your file from any snapshot.

No shit, she handed him his ass on a platter. He won't do that again.

Some of my best friends are vegan. They gladly come over to my BBQs when I'm grilling a brisket or tri-tip, and I'll always grill extra veggies for them. They don't always talk about being vegan and don't shame me for eating meat. Don't rush to assume the entire group is bad because you've had a few bad experiences with them.

AppleTV client at some point?

Can’t remember the full details of the deal, but I seem to recall a story about how Apple approached Intel to manufacture a low-powered processor for mobile (for the first iPhone). At the time, Intel didn’t see money in mobile processors and passed on the deal. Additionally, for years, Apple asked for more powerful chips for the MacBooks. At the time, the iPads were surpassing MacBooks in speed on some tasks. Finally, Apple decided that since they were already designing their own silicon for iPhones and iPads, they might as well just do the same for the MacBooks as well since Intel couldn’t keep up.

Again, this is largely from memory. I can’t remember the source, so take it with a grain of salt.
