+1 for Floccus. Been using it for a least a year. 👌

Been using this for a few weeks on my synology nas. Absolutely love it!

If you want a true BIFL cookware get:

Stainless steel pots.

For pans, cast iron (if you are ok with the maintenance) or stainless steel.

I switch between the two, depending on what I’m cooking. I expect my cookware will last many lifetimes.

I’ve never heard of a non-stick pans lasting more than 5 or 10 years, and that’s if you aren’t being slowly poisoned during that time, either. There are almost no safe non-stick pans, other than cast iron. :)

SS can be non-stick if you use them properly. But even if you don’t, they are easy to clean and make like new again.

It sounds like these use cases would be better served if this feature was a specific, opt-in available in an enterprise version or a separate, third-party product (i.e. screen capture software that will ONLY record what you do in the software in question, when you want it to).

But baked into a consumer OS (not the business version) seems excessive. Who knows, maybe people will find good uses for it at home. I’m cynical and don’t believe that M$ designed this for the user’s benefit.

On the positive side (at least for now), this is a local-only, encrypted data feature.

Not defending M$, but this sounds pretty much like a browser history feature, but for your desktop. Since most people are using their browser for 90% of the tasks they perform on their computer, is probably won’t phase them.

Still, if this feature hits my laptop, it’s going to be disabled. I have never needed to know what specifically I was doing on my computer three weeks ago on Wednesday around 2pm.

What’s the use case for something like this?

This feature sounds like something an employer would want to use, if they aren’t already, to spy on their employees.

No more complex than opening a bank account, and finding a way to get cash to put in it, whether that’s getting a job, prostitution, selling things, etc.

I don’t want to keep arguing, but I disagree. Even the most simple person in the world can open a bank account and put money in it. “Tap to pay” and e-transfers are as easy as they get, and cash withdrawal is something that anyone can do anywhere in the world.

Talking about “fiat money” and “XMR” and “coins”, isolates like 99% of the population.

Someone working at McDonalds can easily get paid and withdraw that money to use in a real store they can walk into. How does one even attempt any of that with Monero? Can you pay your mortgage or electrical bill with Monero? What about paying someone to fix drywall?

Monero may be a fine option for some, but it’s nowhere close to being a mainstream option for ordinary people.

After you install a wallet, you need to get some Monero. There are multiple ways to acquire some coins to spend, like mining or working in exchange for Monero, but the easiest way is to use an exchange and convert your fiat money into XMR. Many exchanges, centralized and decentralized, list Monero (XMR).

This sounds crazy complex for most people.

Cash -> Prepaid credit card (all still real money) is best, with the caveat that it may not be accepted everywhere. But then again, Monero is hardly accepted anywhere.

That’s crazy. Don’t they want money? LOL

Monero

I know of Monero, but haven’t used it. How are funds added to the Monero account?

Crypto isn’t as private as you might think.

But I do agree with what you’re saying.

Using a prepaid credit card, which was paid for using cash, is probably your best bet.

I use Rustdesk for 99% of my remote desktop needs (RealVNC only for my Raspberry Pi).

I will add that self-hosting Rustdesk makes it reliable and fast. When I use the public servers, it was not a good experience.

I’m running it off my Synology NAS through docker.

What’s the actual point of “autopilot” if you have to pay full attention and be ready to take control at a moments notice?

Sounds like… driving. 🤔

My wife does the same, and I can’t tell you how many times a day I have to help her reset passwords, figure out if something is an “1”, “i”, “l”, or “|”, or decide what needed to be capitalized.

Even though I have Bitwarden installed for her, she just “prefers” paper like some people prefer to stub their toes.

but the mouse wheel has been playing up for a while now, occasionally scrolling down when I’m in fact scrolling up.

Are you able to open it up and clean the parts around the scroll wheel? You’d be surprised how much crap accumulates there!

If you are looking, Logitech now offers replacement parts for some of their nice through ifixit: https://www.ifixit.com/News/75363/genuine-parts-for-logitech-mice-coming-to-ifixit

I’ve got the MX Anywhere 3 as my general use mouse. It works well, but I do wish it had AA batteries, instead of an internal one. I hadn’t considered repairability when I got it, but it’s nice to know that I can get replacement parts, and a replacement battery, should I need it.

It’s working for me. Thanks for sharing!

The results don’t seem to be as good as “SuperImage” for now, but SuperImage is not privacy-friendly, and I’d rather support Upscayl :)

Our local bulk food store allows you to bring your own jars and containers, which is awesome.

Not awesome, however, are the prices they charge. This zero waste economy won’t work unless everyone is playing on an even playing field.

Stay safe. Just one bad case of long-covid will debilitate you for months or years, effectively destroying your life.

Anyone and everyone can benefit from putting away their smartphone, not just students.

Off topic, but when were the photos of these students taken? Their clothing and hair looks like they came straight out of the 90s. Even some of the photos themselves looks “film-like”.

I saw a photo of the staff waiting outside, and most either have their jackets on or what look like emergency blankets, winter hats, etc.

16 minutes in the cold with your winter jacket on shouldn’t kill you, not at the reported temperature.

I’m thinking underlying health condition that may or may not have been exacerbated by the cold.

Tragic regardless.

Man, I was considering an upgrade, but I absolutely don’t want anything to do with AI on my phone.

I want the hardware and some usable software to make my phone work the way I like.

Why does every damn company these days feel like enshitification is the only way forward?
