To be fair I never heard a baby ask to leave the EU, so I can only assume they were happy with the status quo

I get the feeling you and Bill Hicks would have gotten along: https://youtu.be/9h9wStdPkQY

So did you do some mx shenanigans or did they email a different address for you?

Hey thanks! I’ll check them out!

In the flesh

BBC Show - Post zombie apocalypse, they’ve managed to cure the zombies and they’re trying to re-integrate into society.

I use windows click to do all the time in work.

I’m constantly being sent screenshots of tables with data in it that I can’t copy paste. (Side note, why take a perfectly searchable .csv and send me a screenshot of it???!!)

The tool really is a game changer for my productivity.

I sure as hell wouldn’t enable it on my personal computer though.

I had a random no symbol on my external monitor that was being caused by its OSD detecting microphone mute and showing an icon.

This certainly isn’t a fix, but if you try to screenshot the icon and it shows up, you’ll know it’s being drawn by the computer and not the monitor.

Might give you a direction to investigate :)

Doubles as a CD player!

But if the virus doesn’t spread the medicine company can’t continue to sell sell sell!

First they came for the sex, then they came after the drugs. Now they’re trying to take my rock and roll

I also live in the UK. The last few years I’ve been tempted to buy a portable AC. Just as I go to spend £300, the weather turns and I decide to spend money on other stuff (like food)

We had that heat wave just after Easter this year, much earlier than I remember, that was the final straw. Bought one on marketplace for £180.

Every night going to bed the sheets are crisp and cool. I sleep like a baby.

The biggest downside? Damn those things are pricey to run

I do this with tooth paste.

I’ve started buying two tubes at a time because I can’t be trusted

Linus tech tips recently reviewed a car with semi auto self driving. It can keep you in the lane and at the right speed. He said it’s perfect for school zones because he knows he doesn’t have to watch the Speedo and give that extra attention to watching for kids walking out. I have to agree with him, there is a school on my commute and the speed drops to 20mph. I let the car do that bit while I worry about little (or sometimes big) feet.

Would I trust that system to spot a child before I do? Not a chance.

404 - I have no idea what you’re looking for, but I know this’ll cheer you up …

There are so many ways they can put the squeeze on. Session time limit, throttle fraffic, restrict usage times etc.

Then you can sell a monthly VPN+ subscription and offer revisiting lifetime users 2 years free if they move to the new “better” service.

I’m not saying I agree with any of this, but it’s certainly not a new strategy. They’ve nothing to lose. Those who are pissed off will leave, you already have their money and those who want to stay will pay up.

The VPN company can have their cake and eat it

It was Plex that did the IP range ban because people were selling access to their boxes.

There are two types connection in this scenario

1. Direct - no additional cost to Plex, using the port forwarding instructions you mentioned. No limit on bandwidth - the best (and most common) option
2. Relay - for whatever reason your client cannot reach the server (CGNAT / port forwarding not possible / firewall on client side etc), Plex will act like a man in the middle & limit the connection to 2mbit. (Yup, megaBIT).

I switched away from Plex last year because they wouldn’t let me connect with my box in Hetzner. I’m now using Emby, ironically I’m also paying for Emby’s monthly subscription. Not because I believe I need to, but because I want the developer to continue to work on it.

I had a thinkpad for YEARS running various flavours of Debian / Ubuntu. It never had an issue with drivers and even the fingerprint sensor worked out of the box.

The battery was shot to hell, the hinge was gone, it was time to upgrade. So I bought an ideapad. There’s something funky with the audio quality on Linux and the fingerprint scanner is now a face scanner camera. Howdy is not easy to configure and I’m pretty sure I can trick it with a photo.

That’s a long way of me saying I have buyers remorse and not all Lenovos are made equal :(

I just don’t connect the snoopy bastard to my network 😂
