I signed a mortgage with a bank that was a 37 hour drive away before. One of my current banks is a mere 9 hour drive to the nearest branch.
It seems really weird to have any functionality that’s available on an app but not a website. Usually the app is stripped back to cover just the common website functions. I say this as a developer who writes both finance web frontends and mobile apps.
I would just use a web browser. The apps do the same thing, but get it done a bit quicker.
Thankfully my banks don’t use hardware attestation.
Oh, you have 10 random singles in the same directory? That must be an album all from the same artist!
Gee, I bet getting rid of the drinking straws fixed a lot. /s
Plastic was never intended for single-use packaging.
I’m waiting for my Pixel 6a to spontaneously combust.
I have one in a drawer. My fave trick was sidearming it 50m and not breaking it. Nokia has nothing on this skimming stone.
It’s running CM9 but very, very slowly. I made a video of the speed regression.
CM7 was way faster.
I agree. Intel or AMD doesn’t matter too much on the CPU. There’s a massive difference between AMD and NVidia on the GPU front. I hear the gap is closing, but the Steam hardware survey shows nobody on Linux prefers NVidia.
And for the love of God do not print with anything but a Brother laser. Just don’t.
Meanwhile I applied for reimbursement on my failing Pixel 6a battery and Google keep asking for proof that I own this phone. They won’t even allow it on RCS. The trust issue goes both ways.
I do find it suspicious that governments are targeting Signal’s E2E encryption but not RCS, FB Messenger or WhatsApp. It’s clear which ones are compromised.
I did this a few months back.
Some things aren’t as great, but you get full control and your server idles way better on JellyFin.
I set up my postfix server so that anything after a hyphen (“-”) becomes a wildcard. It like Gmail’s “plus addressing”, but the hyphen is more subtle. It means multiple users can make infinite aliases on one domain.
So, “user@domain.com” has the same mailbox as “user-somesuffix@domain.com”.
Winds at 35m/s (130km/h). The bagpipes would have been playing autonomously.
GrapheneOS stopped working years ago. Silently.
Well, that would be putting on a mask.
Wow. I applied for my 6a and one of the options was a cash refund for ~$700AUD.
That’s more than I paid for it in 2023. I’ll take that.
It’s 1200. 800 are new.
The educational route I took was Hurricane Electric’s free IPv6 online course. It taught me a bunch of networking principles. When you finish the course (and get “sage” status), you get free lifetime DNS access. This includes dynamic DNS that automatically updates when your IP address changes.
Because of this, I can self-host on a basic residential plan without paying for any additional services.
Mar-a-lago is on track to become the next Versailles. When he hoards enough, the people will go in and reclaim it.
Ctrl+Shift+Tab is Ctrl+Tab in reverse order.
Or you can Ctrl+W to close your tab and it should pop back to the last one.
I like the phrase “flooding the zone with shit”. It even comes with a catchy song that attributes the phenomenon to Steve Bannon.
When you upgrade your desktop PC, plan for it to be the home server after that.
I got a rackmount case to transplant my old desktop montherboard into every 5 years. I also got a 4-port NIC so it can also be a router. My server is a 4th gen Core i5 and it’s still plenty of power for a home server.
If you’re a laptop guy, I’m not sure what you’d do. Maybe ask friends for their old desktops. The Win10 discontinuation next month would be a great opportunity to snap up some business PCs destined for landfill.
For Home Assistant, I think you either need Docker or a dedicated box. I kinda hate how there isn’t a .deb package for it like literally every other service on my server.
