I think they meant to rotate through different pictures, not to physically walk up and rotate the ipad every few hours.

Which is kind of the point of a digital picture frame, cause… why use an electronic device to display a single static picture. Just go to a store and get your picture professionally printed if you only want one.

They could have saved even more by not putting batteries in them, or motors… Man, these things coulda had a way bigger profit margin!

Fits on a 3.5" floppy… interesting.

I understand how you feel, but reading your story, I think when you were grabbing the product and telling him to “just drop it an leave” is what ended your career.

It sucks, you got attacked, but you don’t need to trade your personal safety for some store product.

Just based on this story here, where you are giving a very one sided view of the situation, you intentionally put yourself at risk and kept escalating. I hate that a criminal put you in a situation where you ended up getting fired, but there was more than one mistake here.

It’s an interesting story anyway, kind of fun how the early days of the internet people just decided to build stuff and that random little tool from decades ago continue to be the backbone of much of the world. Imagine if all that stuff was proprietary…

But rand() is a number between 0-1, so it will never be >10

Basically this is just #define True = False

The cat physics are also outstanding. You can tell there were animators just sitting there studying how cats move for many, many hours.

Yeah, Stargate did it better, because kidnapped humans inhabiting the galaxy makes more sense. Solves the “everyone looks human” problem without the “we have proof of evolution here” problem.

Apps Only mode is a decent workaround… for now. https://support.google.com/googletv/answer/10070784?hl=en

Really cuts down on the amount of clutter and suggestions on the main screen.

If you have a CCwGTV, you should be using Apps Only mode. Sucks that Google hides this, because I’ve found that this is the best streaming device for my needs, but they just keep pushing ads like this. Makes me want to do a homebrew chromecast device.

Crazy thing is… that’s what Trevor Noah did as a youth in South Africa. Had a whole bootleg CD burning business until his setup died and they couldn’t get the files back.

So he turned his life around and became extremely famous in the US.

So, the biggest tech of 2023 is a bunch of promises of things coming soon?

Pretty sure the dev should be able to block these types of ads.

He used his power and position to take advantage of an intern. Maybe you should care.

Most people that make it to the level of a president have done really shitty things, while this one wasn’t at the top of the list, it’s still pretty bad. Sucks that most of the hate and jokes were pushed towards the victim instead of the perpetrator.

A backup is an emergency protection, not a primary plan. This attitude is dangerously close to making the backup a critical part of their uptime.

Well, with multiple users you’d need to decide what the use case is for the whole NAS and then work down from there.

Are you sharing everything in the NAS with everyone? In that case your NAS setup is fine, just a little permissive, because with RW to everything, the end users can break everything.

If it were me setting this up, I’d have different mount points for different users. 1 mount for each user that only they can read/write (not even you should be able to see it), and 1 mount that everyone can read/write, maybe if you want to go a little bonkers, 1 mount that everyone can read, but only you can write to.

Then you’d mount those three to separate mounts in your /media, and you can link them from your home directory for specific use cases.

Obviously this is completely overkill, but you can take the parts that sound appealing to you and ignore the rest.

How many users are there?

Is there a chance that the computer will boot without access to the NAS (aside from failure conditions).

Are you doing anything with ownership to prevent reading, or changing, sensitive files?

That’s my point though. They don’t really address how McCoy got the glasses he gave to Kirk in Star Trek II. Did he buy them? Did he just ask someone for them? Did he barter for them for services?

Same thing with alcohol, some people pull out alcohol they obtained through some back alley, black market deal. But what was traded for this black market alcohol?

Star Trek was pretty inconsistent with money. Riker often gambled for money, and they certainly treated specific items as “valuable” (historical items, weapons, and especially liquor.)

I think some of the writers just didn’t know how to picture a post-money world. But by DS9 they mostly treated things like latinum an inter-species trading valuable (especially to/from the Ferengi) or just something that’s needed in the outskirts of the Federation.
