If you put a fake mustache on that 0, it sure looks like a thumb.

Also you can link it to HomeAssistant so when you unzip you can set an automation to lock your door, dim your lights, play Kenny G, and activate your touchless tissue dispenser.

Of course you would because your whole opinion hinges on it.
- Comment on Coffee is not brewed homogeneous 2 days ago:
This depends on what part of the country you’re in. Maybe on the east coast where everyone apparently drinks “Dunkin’” or McDonalds coffee but here in the PNW we do it right.
- Comment on Coffee is not brewed homogeneous 2 days ago:
Drip coffee isn’t always weak. My wife used to work at a Vietnamese restaurant and they made their Vietnamese coffee with a little drip pot full of Folgers but it would literally make you start sweating by the end of your cup.
- Comment on Intel NUC Homelab - Plex, Immich, Home Assistant 6 days ago:
I run everything in LXC containers because AFAIK using VMs mean you are limited on shared resources. If I want to use the iGPU for Plex and something else it would be locked to only work on the Plex VM. I mainly just have an unprivileged LXC and a second privileged LXC both running portainer that run most of my services.
- Comment on Airbnb will now show users the total cost of their stay right away 1 week ago:
We used one in Manhattan that was somewhat like this about a decade ago. We were told to tell anyone else in the building that we were friends of some guy (can’t recall the name) who was different than the one doing the booking.
- Comment on Airbnb will now show users the total cost of their stay right away 1 week ago:
Not quite hotel space as I have yet to find a hotel that can accommodate several families traveling together with a shared space, including a fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, parking, etc. There’s definitely a demand for something like this that isn’t filled in any other way.
- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 1 week ago:
A hybrid has all the same ICE components with the addition of the generator and battery pack so it’s not surprising that it would be heavier than the pure ICE counterpart. These kits will be replacing old iron block engines (along with the other aforementioned drivetrain components) with a small aluminum engine and generator. Even if they are a bit heavier, these are old trucks with poor aerodynamics where a few hundred pounds isn’t going to make much difference in the grand scheme of things.
- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 1 week ago:
These conversions replace the entire drivetrain so you’d be losing the weight of the V8, transmission, transfer case, and drivelines and replacing them with a little 4 cylinder engine, generator, and batteries.

I have frigate installed on my SSD with records storing in my HDD ZFS pool which works just fine. I just have the storage pool set as a mount point for the frigate LXC.
- Comment on Suspected 4chan Hack Could Expose Longtime, Anonymous Admins 1 week ago:
There’s no way someone works as a mod/admin for the most controversial website on the internet and uses an email address that can be linked to their real identity, and doesn’t use a VPN/tor.
People are lazy as fuck and will do all kinds of things that surprise you especially when they become complacent.
- Comment on World's first 3D-texture UV printer for consumers now available for pre-order — prints onto 'nearly any surface' 1 week ago:
It mentions UV, so possibly a resin printer with some method of also depositing the resin onto the object surface before curing it with UV.

Phones like the Galaxy Active which have terrible hardware to make them entirely unappealing outside of that one crucial feature. They do this on purpose.

Whats a fake assertion? This thing doesn’t need to completely revolutionize the industry or replace existing products completely to be viable and useful for some. I personally think it’s a neat idea even though I have zero use for a portable device outside of my phone. I seriously can’t comprehend why people seem to be getting outraged in the comments here over something that has zero effect on them or their life whether it exists or not.

You’re correct, he just announced that there is no pause on electronic device tariffs.

Yeah they’re directly responsible for the path we’ve been on for decades now. They pretend to be an opposition party but are really acting like controlled opposition. This is why even now as people are being illegally sent to El Salvadorian death camps, we get little more from Dems than “concern” and angry letters. Maybe if Harris hadn’t spent so much time courting Dick Cheney’s approval, she wouldn’t have lost.
- Comment on Alternatives to Roku/AppleTV for Jellyfin Client 2 weeks ago:
No worries, it is just my internal frustration with Nvidia coming out in my comment. It could be a good device if it weren’t abandoned by them years ago while that fact seems to be lost in their current pricing. There isn’t really anything comparable on the market, but I don’t think it’s worth the price in it’s current form.

As many as your hard drives or upload bandwidth can handle since they would be playing directly and not transcoding.
- Comment on Alternatives to Roku/AppleTV for Jellyfin Client 2 weeks ago:
As many as most GPUs without all the extra cost and power draw. Nvidia sets a transcode limit of 2 sessions unless you disable it. You really shouldn’t ever be transcoding 4k content. Most people will duplicate 1080p and 4k content and not share the 4k library for remote streaming/external users to avoid transcoding, and 1080p transcodes are no sweat. Furthermore, the goal should be to avoid transcoding wherever possible, so it’s unlikely that you’d have multiple people doing intensive transcoding simultaneously if you follow the above advice. You’ll want everyone to direct play as much as possible.

Yeah if I’m quick enough getting my shoes off so we’re all together, I can go through the metal detector with my wife and kid since they almost always let the kid and parents use that over the mmWave machine.

The workers were able to see your genitals, they just claim that they don’t now but we have no real evidence to confirm that.

Clear was kinda bullshit, and how it was cost effective to have agents “selling” you on the service at the airport.
Is bullshit. They’re expanding it. I was in the Orlando airport a few months ago waiting in the long ass TSA lines while Clear employees went to everyone in line offering a free trial and “you don’t have to wait in this line.” It’s fucking insane that the government can create these delays with the TSA and then goad people into signing up for an expensive service with a private company to bypass the very problem that they created. Says a lot about the “security” too when you can just skip it by ponying up a little bit of cash.

I don’t know how Kodi still goes on for this long. I messed around with it over a decade ago and had all the same issues back then.

And it runs Google services, and it costs a fortune, and it hasn’t seen a refresh in 6 years.
