I’ve been telling people this for years: Post-secondary educational institutions are no longer about education; they’re a business. They do everything they can to maximize profits, and don’t really care about the quality of education.

Beautiful! Great job


Whatever you get, don’t get Synology. They’ve been working on penalizing you from using any drives and only allowing you to buy Synology-branded drives by removing features (source)


IMO, Lenovo. Have had Lenovos in the past, no issues. I know someone who had an ASUS and the hinge broke. Also, don’t go through Staples - their warranty is garbage.


A lot of things from a particular family member
This month: His buddy who’s a “mechanic” touched our car and did a bunch of “extra work” on it for a “great price”. Got it back and it sounded like they emptied the transmission fluid in the CVT. I got “it must be the drive shaft” and “don’t go down rabbit holes on the internet”
It was missing transmission fluid


Really? You used the NWC for kids wanting gender reassignment medical help, kids asking to be called different pronouns, and kids figuring out which sports team they want to play on?
The stakes could not be higher
Oh fuck off. How about homeless people dying because of hunger, or people getting shot up during armed robberies. Literally life and death shit. How is perverting what the fuck is going on in Lisa’s pants more important than dealing with crime and income inequality?
Danielle - you’ve got more important shit to deal with than focusing all your attention on kids’ genitalia


Fellow homebox user here. As an aside: I’ve got a storage room with a bunch of shelves and bins. For each bin, I’ve suck labels on them (using a label maker or sharpie + painters tape), and an NFC tag. Each box in Homebox has its own location, and each NFC tag is a direct link to its instance in Homebox.
It’s much easier to categorize larger quantities of things that aren’t as valuable as vintage media. Ie. hygiene products, off-season clothing, etc…


Bookmarked this to try this setup next weekend!


I don’t think this is homebrews fault? It looks like apps need to be signed to run on apple silicone.


The irony of a GDPR-related post of not being heard being removed by moderators at r/gdpr


You also need to get a good brand too. There are a lot of “air filters” out there that are just fans


This is equivalent to asking the road construction workers and engineers to be held accountable for those that break the speed limit


People were calling it from day 1. I’m surprised it took this long for the FBI to come out with a statement… although…
This is the correct answer


I separate the name from the ID, so the IDs are relative to the specific device only, and the names represent the device and location.
I’ve set the IDs for all my sensors to use a code. The letters identify the type of sensor, and the numbers are sequential when I got them. I also have a label maker and labeled all the devices with their codes.
Example:
AA##
So my first temperature sensor is
TS01
Then the name of the sensor is a little more elaborate, where it includes the type of the sensor, the code, and the location.
{Type} {ID} - {Location}
So my bedroom motion sensor is:
Motion MS02 - Bedroom
Then if I have to rearrange anything, I don’t update the device ID, just the name and how it’s used.
I recently moved and had to rearrange some of the devices. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been as I tried sticking the sensors in the proper rooms (ie all the old bedroom devices stayed in the bedroom). But there were some cases where I did have to rename them & update the integrations.


Fun fact: making false police reports / swatting is illegal in most places. Which AI company is going to face criminal charges for putting this poor kids life at risk and traumatizing them?


An unfortunate series of events
Soldier was firing blanks towards the officer, and the officer probably panicked and fired back; thinking they were being shot at.
For those unaware: blank rounds / blanks is a special type of ammunition you can use in a real firearm that doesn’t have a projectile (ie the bullet). Military and police use blanks to simulate real ammo being fired out of the gun so they get used to the bang, mechanics of the firearm, having to reload, fixing jams, etc.
Other than the actual bullet, there are only a few noticeable differences between real ammo and blanks:
From the officers perspective: they got calls saying there was a shooter. They arrive on scene, and someone starts shooting at them. I’d shit my pants too and shoot back


It might vary depend on where you were taught and resources available. My instructor had all sorts of types of firearms out and we had hands-on time with all of them; but we only talked about the storage requirements
I think it’s the context. IIRC, they were at/near the White House hinting that it was a political attack. And right now, due to the US politics, everyone’s fantasizing about a civil war; so anything that hints at it will get clicks. Clicks = more traffic to their websites = more ad revenue
