So ideally a handset device capable of recieving and making calls to a limited number of devices.

When you say a “limited number of devices” do you mean a closed system when you have provisioned all the devices or do you mean you also need to be able to receive calls from standard phones?

To replace a landline you can just use a service like Vonage Home for about $10/month. If you want to setup your own PBX (phone system) for calling your own managed set of devices, then you need more. In any case, you always need a SIP service if you want to make and receive calls with regular phone numbers.

What are your goals here? What are you trying to accomplish?

I have six and I’m not taking any more, sorry pal!

Are you asking why breaking the rules on a site gets you banned?

As this question appears to be based on The Big Lebowski (great movie!) you’ll have to ask the writers if you want to know.

Identify a skill that is in demand and find a way to learn it. That’s the only secret to having an income.

The Bible doesn’t say and there is no consensus among Biblical scholars about what the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were. Some believe it was simply arrogance and inhospitality.

I get into these comment chains from time to time where really no matter what I post whoever I’m talking to downvotes…

I suggest avoiding such comment chains. If the person you are talking to is downvoting everything you write then you can be certain you are wasting your time.

oh the irony

My advise is to wear undershirts. Even the tank top ones will make a big difference in keeping your shirts clean.

Personally, I don’t get why the solution to many of the issues people experience with Apple devices is to buy another one.

I’m not really familiar with this. My wife uses a macbook. She’s had it for 6 years and I can’t recall any real issues with it.

It may be hard to believe, but some people actually buy apple products because they like them.

Storm drains, aqueducts, and swimming pools are typically made out of concrete because it has the right properties to deal with lots of water. Roads are typically paved with asphalt. Unlike concrete, asphalt is far more subject to damage from water.

One of the main purposes of crowned roads is to ensure that water flows off the asphalt quickly in thin sheets that don’t cause erosion. A heavy flow of water on asphalt causes too much erosion. Also, pooling or standing water seeps into asphalt and causes damage and structural problems. Especially in areas where the temperature gets low enough to freeze.

There are also other problems with V shaped roads, but avoiding water damage from pooling and erosion is the big one.

Slightly V shaped roads are used where cars don’t go, like in pedestrian shopping centers with outside walkways.

I use Windows Server because that’s what I know. Though I am curious to learn other OSes when I have more time. I don’t use docker so that’s really not a problem for now.

I didn’t. I don’t need remote access. We don’t watch TV outside the house.

Right now its a Thinkpad T480 with 64G ram and 1tb ssd. If it turns out we use Jellyfin enough I plan to get something more powerful for it.

Popular conception of the “Turing Test” is pretty inaccurate. What Turing proposed was a way of determining if a computer is thinking or doing something equivalent to thinking.

His test was not for consciousness and it was not simply chatting with a computer to see if it could convince you that it is a person.

What Turing proposed was called the Imitation Game.

I’ve modernized it a little but the premise is the same. Think of a game show where there are 3 people all claiming to be a brain surgeon but only one of them really is. You get to ask all three people questions and if one can trick you into thinking they are the real brain surgeon when they are not, they win.

Turing basically said that if a computer could play this game as well as any of the humans pretending to the brain surgeon, it must be doing something equivalent to thinking.

Wow, is your entire website AI generated slop?

You don’t like the one you posted to the Jellyfin comm labout 30min ago? If not then why share it?
