A trans clown?

I use Xpenology on an HP Gen 8 microswrver, a pretty nifty piece of kit. Works great, but setting up and upgrading versions can be a rather involved process.

Gamer desktops tend to be power hogs. Running them 24/7 can rack up some hefty power bills, plus noise, plus space, plus other tradeoffs.

Better a used thin client.

If you have a 3d printer, or access, o know someone willing to print for you, there are many free models out there

Definitely an option, but for the price of a Pi with all the extras, case, power supply, etc, you can get a used thin client that is way more capable.

There is a guy on YouTube that often reviews these things, and discovers some models that are surprisingly capable.

Synology publishes a list of certified non-synology drives, and warns you that drives outside the list are not recommended, but, at least in non enterprise models, allows them to be used. I believe there is some rather easy way (some config file change or the like) to circumvent the limitation, but yeah, dick move.

Bargaining chip. Hehe, I see what you did there.

Tesla sells itself as a technology innovation company, but it sells hype.

Linux and all its flavors?

What’s wrong with libreoffice or anyoffice? For a large percentage of users, Linux is fine, especially as many applications have an online option. For the stuff I do, in Linux, online Office is more than sufficient.

An org I work with provides me with a 365 license, but I I’m more comfortable in Libreoffice.

Office is used bythe majority, but majority doesn’t mean they are right, they are simply more.

Arrrr

Didnt he also invent the Tesler car?

Humidifiers are simple and cheap. Maybe the cost of a 2 in 1 wouldn’t make commercial sense.

Also, it would probably need two water tanks, as I imagine you wouldn’t want to use the drain tank as a clean water source.

Just guessing here.

I have 2 4K tvs, one used as a monitor. I’m now rewatching some 70’s - 80’s shows. When the intro starts, I’m acutely aware of the low res, but as soon as the show starts, I get into the content, and I really don’t notice the resolution.

If you focus on the resolution instead of the content, maybe the content is not that engaging.

I also think that 1080 is fine for normal living room distance. In my case, though, I use a 42" 4K as a monitor, where I have the equivalent of 4 1080 monitors. No gaming, but for my use it’s more practical than multiple monitors.

Not ideal, but you can air gap the TV from the network, and use some small sbc, or even a firestick or android box. That’s what I do. Stremio?

Higher res matters when filming, because you can reframe scenes in editing without losing resolution when downscaling the final result.

I’m willing to sacrifice some of my valuable internet points here and be down voted to low hell.

I was going to make a comment along those lines.

They are, at the core, an ad company. Their motivation is to make money, and we are free to pay or not pay for their services.

The idea that we have a right to a non essential product for free is entitlement. They make a shit load of money, but also pay money to most content creators. Could they provide a service where they essentially just pay for costs? Sure, but no for profit Corp is going to do that, it has to make money somehow. While I’m all for peer tube, I really don’t know if it’s sustainable.

I wonder how many of the people who demand free access to services donate to FOSS Development.

Maybe some form of consumer co-op, where users essentially pay for operating costs, could be an option.

Their arguments are kind of lame. To install APKs from outside the store is already an involved process that generally makes it harder for the uninformed to sideload. Make sideloading a bit harder, but possible. My xiaomi makes me wait and read warnings before installing APKs, for example.

Merriam Webster seems to agree with me.

it genuinely seems like this guy hates developing duckstation at all.

I don’t think you get it. He probably enjoys creating, and achieving something awesome. He has no obligation to deal with entitled users of what he gives away
