Oh hey, it’s that time every couple of years Google pretends to care about tablets again!

So the problem with thin margins on the hardware side is what’s stopping a user from just installing their own OS once they figure out they can do the same thing you’re doing on the same hardware?

I guarantee you half the people are here and got started self-hosting BECAUSE they wanted to start pirating.

Relax guys. It’s a Nintendo Switch, those things never get hacked.

Yeah, I see both parts of this.

BOOX advertises “Super Refresh” which makes eink almost able to play a YouTube video. There’s a lot of software (and probably hardware) development there.

Google still issues security patches for Android 12 as well.

It could be much worse. At least BOOX issues updates….

Is it a surprise if it’s two months in advance and around the same time every Pixel has been launched?

I loved AsusWRT-Merlin back when I used an Asus router.

As others here have mentioned, Tdarr can handle a lot of it automatically

Where do you get a 12 tb drive for $100?

Living in the Midwest, I’ve never really dealt with a major power outage we didn’t expect. Power company will send out a (very rare) notice if they are doing anything that might bring down power and usually if a thunderstorm starts to get rough, we shut down anything important so power flicker/surges don’t hurt it.

The big key is your hardware needs to support it. Back when “unified SSIDs” became a thing, some older 802.11n (WiFi 4) and ac (WiFi 5) devices could do it, but it was…. Weird.

If you have a newer router, especially WiFi 6 or 802.11ax it should be be to do the unified SSID.

You know how routing works, but not wireless networks apparently.

Mainstream NASs (like Synology and QNAP) are very good at what they’re built for, which is be available on the network and have plenty of storage.

They CAN do more, but then you start to notice the limitations. It is still “just a NAS.” It’s not called a NASAHVAVMM (Network Attached Storage and Hypervisor and VM Manager)

If you want to do what you described, a smaller NAS would probably be good for backups, but look into a fully fledged, capable server too.

It’s some kind dumbass idea that AI won’t be trained with the comment now. Because you know, billion dollar companies ALWAYS follow the rules.

I think purchasing a public company and promising a donation are two different things.

Dual booting Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04 on my parents desktop.

I broke the boot loader so many times that my mom learned what GRUB was just so she was sure she could yell at me and it wasn’t just our ancient desktop finally dying.

If you saw someone smoking next to a diesel tanker, would you go hang out with them?

I let my wife talk me into getting a Brazilian with her this year. I’ve gone every 4 weeks since and I have to say, it’s a life changing experience.

No more wiping for more than about 4 times. No chafing. No stubble. Just smooth hairless ass-crack.
