Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.

I call them reset button pushers
- Comment on Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad 6 months ago:
Kinda the same thing as winrar. They rather have consumers get used to it so the companies they work at have a higher chance of buying licenses. That’s where the real money is.

There’s a couple SD-WAN solutions out there that you can do this with. Essentially route all your traffic through one or more VPSes while still keeping things like port forwards and STUN working properly.
I’ve had to use it to enable proper video feeds to and from people that had Spectrum as their ISP.

HEVC actually requires a $1 license you can get from the ms store. It’s a royalty thing. OEMs often ship PCs with that license already enabled.
There are more applications than just windows Media Player that won’t play hevc files/streams without that license installed.
VLC doesn’t really seem to care about those things though and it’s better than the default anyways.

- Comment on A tiny radioactive battery could keep your future phone running for 50 years 10 months ago:
A lot of sensors/gauges in industrial applications are retrofitted with lorawan or similar remote readout capabilities right now. Battery life for these devices is already a big design consideration, especially since not all locations are easily accessible.
With a power source like this you would essentially charge a capacitor, use the stored charge to do a sensor read and short data burst, and then wait for the next charge.
- Comment on Wi-Fi 7 quietly took off while everyone was looking at AI 10 months ago:
It does exist, its called 801.11ah or wifi HaLow
That standard is mainly designed for things like IOT and wireless security cameras, but nothing stops you from getting an HaLow access point and network adapter.
- Comment on 8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates 10 months ago:
Chiming in a bit further on this. Quite a few (Google) devices and apps have started using DNS over Https servers to circumvent things like pihole. Blocking known IP’s on my firewall has helped effectiveness quite a bit.
- Comment on Modders are gonna have a field day 10 months ago:
Modding used to be extremely easy and detection systems weren’t implemented yet back in the day. I have an account with billions in cash just for being in the same lobby as one.
These days you’re still free to ruin everyone’s day with all sorts of griefing mods, but once you try and spawn in cash daddy rockstar gets angry at you.
- Comment on Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever 11 months ago:
People have done it on M1’s at least. You’ll need a well equipped rework station to do it though, especially since the NAND is essentially glued to the motherboard in addition to solder.

We have a bunch of torrent compacts at work and they’re honestly great cases too. Also very good at keeping high end parts cool at a low noise level.
I’ve always been a fan of closed Fractal cases. They do no-non sense right.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admits giving up on Windows Phone and mobile was a mistake 1 year ago:
They did have some programs to try and push more apps, but dropped the ball far too quickly for it to gain traction.
Microsoft essentially shipped free phones out to everyone that wanted to make or port a windows phone app. Heck, I got one just to port over the schedule app I made for my small high school at the time and had maybe 300 installs.
The dev environment was actually a lot nicer to work with than the android one at the time as well.

If they are networked I can definitely agree.
If not, the only functional difference you get for upgrading is exchanging the floppy drive for a usb port.
It’s really hard to convince people to replace a 6+ digit piece of machinery all because its control system has an EOL OS. Especially considering upgrading it to the newest model most likely means upgrading the OS from Windows 95 to Windows XP (embedded).
- Comment on What is your favorite domain name provider, and why? 1 year ago:
For some reason every registrars dns panel has its own weird restrictions, bugs and interface quirks. Pointing the nameservers to Cloudflare at least makes for a consistent experience.
