Planned obsolence via shoehorning crap connected tech into things that can run fine with controls from 1947 that will last 50+ years and are easily replaced with commodity components (relays) at any time.

Ok, bye.

The problem is they are almost never good, as everyone can read the same info 4x faster than someone can present it (best case), and 10x faster isn’t unusual.

Source: Former technical trainer - I’ve read a lot about instructional methodologies. Video is the lowest common denominator that’s all. It can be useful for things that have a visual component, and self hosting has very little of that.

Seems there are 2 kinds - video links with almost no text, just farming visits, and video links with a wall of text.

Both suck. Videos, in general, suck.

So much of what goes on here needs text, lots of it. Video is slow and cumbersome.

Used this for years now. Excellent app.

Give me your debit card pin.

I just loaded it, goes to the website linuxupskillchallenge.org

Hahaha, wtf?

And quickly realizing they could be used for more.

And this is part of why I root.

Only certain apps get network access, and only certain apps get to use Google services.

They’ll complain, some won’t work.

Next phone won’t have Google services at all, and untrustworthy apps will be sandboxed in their own profiles.

Like, turn off the iPad or iPhone?

Agreed.

So, “green” energy is only cheaper if the government pays for it?

Not really a great argument.

Define share?

Keep all files in sync between two points?

Enable ad-hoc access to all files, or a subset?

There’s a free, 30 day program for learning Linux that may help, The Linux Upskill Challenge.

I like that it walks you through doing stuff, step by step, starting with foundations and building on it.

Or inkjet in general.

Fuck inkjets

I’ve used a DeLonghi espresso machine ($100) for close to 20 years now. My first one lasted 15 years.

It’s not perfect, but just about the best bang-for-buck on the market.

I’m not even that particular a out coffee, and I’ll be damned if I’m doing instant all the time.

I keep some around for emergencies, but otherwise it’s espresso/cappuccinos for me. A decent machine can be had for $100

Less intuitive for morons who never learned anything anyway.

Are YOU going to pay for the conversion?

Algeebea and Calc must’ve really sucked for you.

Yep, on NT4 the instant the last key in CTRL-ALT-DEL went down the task manager came up.

XP and Win7 were still very good with it.

I think it went south when they removed the requirement for CTRL-ALT-DEL to login.
