I dunno, I’ve never cuddled anyone in public.

May just be a language difference without any underlying meaning.

I have none of these problems on Windows.

I control when updates happen, I just ran Microsoft Mappoint 2006 on Windows 10 using a VM, in Unity mode so you don’t even know it’s in a VM. Virtual PC had this same feature 20 years ago. And Windows now ships with Hyper-V on every version, so you don’t even need a separate virtualization app.

These are all problems of people accepting defaults.

Spend as much time tinkering with Windows as you do Linux to run Windows apps and it’s fine.

Windows update never interferes with my work - it updates when I choose to update.

Apple is the worst, by a long shot, for not letting you use old apps for no good reason.

There’s so many ways to skin this cat, you may want to start with identifying the most crucial single failure point that concerns you.

Is it the router? Best you can really do is have good hardware and make sure it and your modem are on a UPS.

If it’s an ISP-provided modem, some enable remote management via a phone app, which can be done from anywhere by signing in to your ISP account.

Aurora isn’t really anti-google as it’s merely a different front end for Play (that you can use anonymously).

Need more calendar options such as mailbox.org.

Good start though!

None

This is merely ROI, it doesn’t capture things like watching what you want.

I started from needing a server for mobile devices to sync to, music, general file storage, and some virtual machines for testing stuff.

That put me at about 1TB. I already had a bunch of DVDs that I wanted to watch more conveniently, so I just upped the storage and started converting my own stuff.

So my setup isn’t just for media/replacing subscriptions - that a knock on effect.

Still this is a nice calculator for me to better visualize what things actually cost.

Well it’s a pretty good start (and I do agree with you on using the appropriate terminology). I’ve had to look at it differently and use it with the ideas in my head being misrepresented on screen. Still the idea is great.

Sounds like you’d be a great co-conspirator for OP to really make this project exceptional.

You can choose language top right

There’s no SH sound in strawberry, you’re just pronouncing it wrong. (And that’s something I almost never say, as language is always changing).

See the pronunciation guide here for “straw”, and click on the speaker, you’ll hear the correct pronunciation.

The company owns legal liability for anything you do on their hardware.

The end.

Even 30 years ago it was possible, but not easy, and definitely not cheap

This is what I was trying to find for op. Well done!

There’s a project on github just for this, I forget what it’s called.

Basically they’ve developed a mechanism for providing instructions and access to security (usernames, passwords, etc).

I’ll see of I can find it

Right?

I think the last TV I bought was 5 years ago, a 65", 4k, for about $650.

And I didn’t shop, I was tired and sick, just needed a replacement and didn’t care.

Whoa, that’s pretty cool

You should probably read more history.

Lots of suffering for lots of reasons.

There are at least two conditions that can cause this: diabetes and hypoglycemia (which isn’t really a diagnosable condition, as we don’t yet know enough about it as someth ng independent of diabetes).

Go see a doc just to be sure.

Bit of background, because most people don’t understand: Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disease, Type II is a reaction to dietary conditions.

Don’t really care about “looks ugly”. It’s a phone, not a piece of jewelry.

I got shit to do and need a device that enables that.

You’re the exception among Apple users.

I say this with nearly 4 decades in IT. Most Apple users are even more clueless than a typical Windows users, which is saying something.
