Other elephant in the room is how healthy is the dad? A super motivated, athletic and engaged older dad is still better than an uninterested, over weight, young dad.

I used it many years ago, perhaps 10, and started using it again because it allows me to rename PWAs. I have four instances of Frigate running for various locations and now i can edit their name based on location.

My 36" TV is fine, you monster.

As an employee, I take offense...

Spoken like a true MBA. I call this trash Buzz word salad.

I noticed the last modified date on some of my mp3s recently and realized almost all of them are old enough to drink and some are nearly 30 years old :(

Most electric vehicle motors (or any motor, wind farms, cordless drills, etc), speakers, and medical MRI machines need them and lots of them. Kind of important and America has been asleep at the wheel on this topic for decades.

You can also buy 'trigger boards' and wire it uo yourself if you like. I replaced all my barrel jack devices with USB.

That is not correct, you won't get a random lower voltage. You are correct that thw PD supply needs to support the voltage but PD always starts with 5V for backwards comparability then digitally its negotiates the PD voltage it wants, if it asks for 12v and its not available it with just stay at 5V. It won't spit out the closest value unless the device asks for it. Its a very strict and wonderful standard.

At least she even comments. Mine just waves her hand in disgust. She knows it enables her whole technological life, but couldn't give a shit.

I thought it was a joke until someone at my company gave a company wide presentation on how to use AI to accelerate coding and st several points flat out ADMITTED he didn't know what the hell it was doing but you just need to 'baby sit' it and you get useful scripts out of it. I'm a hardware engineer and I wanted to scream at him.

Check the power supply too. Those mini PCs just use a cheap laptop power brick and sometimes they can't sustain their full output anymore. I had one server constantly crash and once I swapped the power brick I never had a problem again.

So I had a verbal conversation with a coworker yesterday and now I'm getting fed very specific ads. No possible way it's accidental. I have most of the microphone access to apps limited, I have Google assistant turned off and no VPA setup in my home. I use a Oneplus 9 pro, does anyone have recommendations on how to further root cause this or just par for the course for using any standard android OS? Have other folks had similar experience after locking down their stock phones?

 

Title says most of it. Spin electric scooters exited the Seattle market and abandoned their scooters all over the city and apparently they have a pi 4 in them!

 

Found some tiny coffee plants while in Hawaii and thought they looked amusingly fake so I grabbed a picture.

 

I call this nonsense host ‘Ghost’, for me it’s similar to a tape backup solution. Fairly simple concept, it’s an old Pi1 + external mechanical drive that sits dormant with its ethernet off. Once a month, at a random time and random date it enables the ethernet, spins up the drive and pulls data from the main server to update its drive then goes black until next month. The only way to check or maintain the pi is a push button that toggles the ethernet interface. I slapped it together with some scrap wood, spare hardware and screwed it to a 2x4 in a dark corner of my basement. It’s my 5th string backup, the ultimate insurance policy because I’m mental.
