I've used ios quite a bit and have many, many complaints. But you just reminded me of one. My work has two ipads for us to use in the field. One is the biggest sized model, the other is a mini. The password has an exclamation point. For one iPad, the exclamation point is in the first page of symbols. The other is two pages back. Like what the fuck

I started paying for Google music when it started because I didn't like Spotify. Now I've been paying for so long it doesn't make sense to move away. When they implementet YT premium, I was hooked. I haven't seen an ad in years.

Also, streaming music and video is also way more data intensive, I wouldn't expect the random good Samaritan to pay the server costs for me. Yeah ads suck, but I don't see it as such a crazy thing to pay for not to have. Two decades ago you'd pay for cable and still get ads.

I don't approve of Google blocking adblockers because I'm sure it doesn't hurt their bottom line that much, but I also don't blame them.

When I was in the navy I went to a barcade and decided to buy around 1000 little army men. I managed to hide about 200 of them and I still have buddies telling me they found another.

 

So firstly, I don't sweat a lot to begin with. I'll go for a run and I'll be at a mile before I feel sweat beading up. I'll get a little clammy throughout the day, but rarely have whole body sweats. As a result, I have very low body odor. If I don't shower, it'll take several days before my significant other will notice.

But I don't wear deoderant or antiperspirant. If I do, then its like the rest of my body decides it needs to sweat. Anyone else out there with this experience?

 

Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material. Water is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Every molecule is fully oxidized. It's also a common byproduct of fire. Therefore, you can't burn it, because it's already burnt

The liberalism run wild concept is kinda what I'm curious about. Like what things? I know California protects abortions and has stronger gun control laws. But is that really it? There's gotta be more actual examples

 

I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me "why are you moving there, its so bad?". Now that I'm here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.

I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says "the policies are dumb" but can't give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.

So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?

Oh boy. I love Niagara. I've used it one every phone for quite a few years now.

Two of my favorite features are the ability to tuck widgets into folders. I use the system ui communications widget in my messaging folder to take me straight to my most used chats.

When you connect to bluetooth, it automatically pulls up a now playing widget (it's hidden when bluetooth is disconnected) and pulls up links to my music/podcast apps. It's so dynamic and highly customizable.

Look at Fiio. They're a Chinese company that makes pretty good quality mp3 players. They have some expensive models but also a few for less than a hundred bucks. I've owned two of them now and love them.

You can just drag and drop files onto a microSD card and then the player will recognize that new files have been added. It's super simple to manage and no iTunes or other software required.

Edit: The M5 and M3 pro both use a proprietary OS. The M6 is android based so you can also load Spotify/YT music/tidal/etc. These models are all touchscreen. If you want one more old school without the touch screen, they're m3k model is still on aliexpress. And they used to have models with scroll wheels (I dont remember the model number) that I'm sure you could find used on ebay or something.

 
 

Hey guys. I ordered an ASUSTOR NAS and it finally came in! I'm so excited to start hosting my own things!

So everything is going pretty smoothly so far. I got home assistant running. My plex is being migrated now. The next thing is getting my Reolink doorbell (IP cam) to start working. I can have it save data to it's local microSD, but I've got a new NAS.

With the back story done, the problem I'm having is that their software "surveillance center" seems to be broken. I installed it (yes, I already tried uninstalling and re-installing), and all it does is show 4 black screens with a tab at the top for "live view, settings, and logs". The problem is that none of the tabs do anything. Like I click, no response. Can't configure settings if you can't get to the screen.

Anyway, does anyone have any ideas? I can do FTP/FTPS with the camera, but I was hoping to use the built in software.

Thanks!

Side note: fuck Spez for making so I can't read reddit posts for help.
