• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll affect it, but it won’t stop it.

  I design medical devices. IP is incredibly important in this process to protect our R&D investment. If IP didn’t exist, we’d protect that through other means like obfuscation of function.

  Also if IP didn’t exist, I could design devices that are so much better at healing people. So much of what I do is restricted because someone else has 30 years left on what they patented.

  R&D is expensive. Just because you see what someone else did, doesn’t mean you can easily replicate it.

  In short: if your goal is pure profit, yeah removing IP probably hurts this a little. If your goal is producing the best product, then get rid of it.

  What’s your setup and hardware look like? I’m just curious.

  My jellyfin service has been up for about six months, and has played probably 100+ shows and movies, for myself internally and a few external clients over that time. My hardware is a HP elite desk mini and a 10TB USB HDD

  I’m a solid right column, second row from the bottom.

  Actual budget does do that! You can tie it to automatically import transactions view SimpleFIN.

  Some things you’ll need to manually do, like real estate valuations.

  Not if the only “allowed” services don’t include that VPN.

  There are nearly always ways around this sort of thing, but it gets exponentially harder as soon as VPNs get blocked.

  Where do my boys Component and S-Video end up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I don’t buy early access for this reason except in extremely rare circumstances.

  But that doesn’t mean we should prevent others from buying into early access. Let people make their own decisions!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to avoid having cat hair all over my floor every 2 days?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Brushing the cats regularly is the first step - this removes loose fur that will otherwise fall out on other surfaces. Most cats love being brushed, and id say doing it a every week at a minimum will help.

  Other than brushing, having the right type of vacuum can make a big difference.

  Are you in the southern hemisphere? Our cats she’s a lot more in the summer vs winter. Spring is especially bad, as they are getting rid of their winter coat.

  The spondylolisthesis (listhesis) one isn’t quite accurate - it should be the whole spine above the joint in question shifted forward. You don’t really see just one vertebral body sticking out like that.
