The nice thing about some battery backup is not keeping it running during an outage, but safely shutting it all down.

I agree on the laptop battery, I’m just disagreeing on battery backup. It serves a purpose, as does decent surge elimination.

Well yeah, that’s half the fun

Unfortunately, I am. Too much capsaicin messes with digestion (slows it down), and causes more stomach acid.

So with my gastrointestinal system’s hatred of my body (including food allergies which wreak havoc on me), I am at the top tier of too damn white to get to enjoy the heat anymore. So, I guess thanks for a new pepper I can check out!

Or a fully themed, punctuation inspire flick. Named “character” to let you fill in the blanks.

Char 1: Well what do you think Mark?

Char 2: Are you sure she can handle it, Point?

Char 1: Its time we’ve shown

Char 2: our true power…

Together: As Interrobang!

Char 3: No wait, I’ve got my per…

… OK it needs to be reworked, but you get the idea.

Considering our use is not to the general public, we’d be better off with an entirely different strategy.

Yeah… I didn’t choose it, but some of the services from my employer run there. May be a good time to make some moves, we’ll see.

Not really going to be an issue I can fix obviously, but I’ll be making even more backups than normal…

I have a feeling the big impact is going to be in other services, namely AWS. Makes me wonder if some new global outages are coming, which are always fun to deal with.

I wish I had a solid answer for that, I actually made a post about this recently.

Deskflow (synergy upstream) seems to be working well at the moment. Bear in mind they just moved all the repos, but Synergy v2 had a bunch of issues, it was dropped for v3, which is just deskflow packaged up all pretty. Input leap is from the people who were maintaining barrier and forked it a few years ago. Lan-mouse is its own thing, and it works, though its a bit clunky to use.

Right now I’m doing some testing to figure out what I want to use, my concern around barrier is that no updates makes for a security risk, and (for me) it also won’t work with Wayland.

With Synergy going back to the open base, I don’t really mind throwing them some cash, but its not available yet with Wayland support as a packaged project, so I built it and will be testing more for all of them once I move some things around on my desk to restructure - the whole reason I was looking for something in the first place actually. That won’t happen until a free weekend though, so hopefully this weekend, but maybe the following.

I wouldn’t protest your use, and since that phrase is mine now I can say that!

Jokes aside, this is exactly it. One option, you can protest it. The other, and you’re getting “a very rough hour, real rough”.

So… Yeah. Not voting is supporting more murders by the state, and I hope so many people realize they are being duped with their “non-voting protest” and actually go to the polls. Especially because the presidential election is not the only election that matters.

Be aware, barrier is dead.

Input leap is the successor, though they still haven’t made a full release and recommend the last barrier version. Which is 3 years old.

I did not expect to get Live stuck in my head tonight, but there you go

Edit: Not a complaint BTW, I’ve owned Throwing Copper since it came out in 94

Personally I’d go with 34", but I’m an ultrawide kind of person.

I’m even considering the ridiculously wide 49" lenovo, at 5120x1440 it certainly beats the 2560x1440 and companion 1080p display I use today.

Prosecutors can amend charges, they are probably still collecting evidence to determine if they can prosecute a higher charge, which is when they’d bring in something like attempted murder.

I’m sure there is some legally restricting element like “a clear intent to kill” which would have to be demonstrated in court to have that charge stick.

There is nothing native (though a few options have been played with, AFAIK never completed because…), but there are a ton of integrations. You can use webhooks to teams, there are python wrappers for the API, even a google docs integration.

Probably the lowest code option would be to find someone else’s tool for snipe-it (sorry I’ve never looked), or do something like snipe it to google sheets to be imported as a CSV or something.

Or take a peek at some others in the same territory, or maybe ticketing systems with simple asset management.

But i think something like snipe-it, if not exactly, is going to be the right territory of what you’re looking for

Its about $2.6 billion per week in revenue, even by the weekly numbers its not an impact

(based on ~$135b in revenue for 2023, according to financial disclosure reports)

This is why next to my couches are multi-port chargers.

The ones I’m using currently have 8 ports; 2 at 65W, 3 at 30W, and 3 at 20W. The 30 & 60 are USB-C, 20W is USB A. The 65W is plenty for laptops, tablets, and phones. 30W for tablets and phones if the 65W is in use or headphones, eBook reader, etc. 20W for all that miscellaneous simple device charging, anything micro USB, etc.

Way better strategy than built in IMO. Easy to replace, old one goes somewhere else (or given to family members), etc.

What about asset management software, like snipe-it? Or are you trying for payment in there too?

You dont really need AI for the correlation when you’ve got usernames being reused so heavily and consistently across numerous social platforms. Just a search engine.

That’s why I say two and saying no you will not turn it off.

A cop fiddling with a camera after being told about it, or turning it off while “mishandling” their own body cam… Yeah that’s a good reason to get things thrown out.

Added benefit of not making it to discovery by not having something planted in your car in the first place.

Ehhh no, that’s not true.

You can say no, but if they pull in some other reason (such as dogs) to give them a meaningful excuse, they now have probable cause for the search.

Anything is now 100% admissible, you can sue but its not going anywhere, and they can still get away with planting evidence because they came up with whatever probable cause necessary to perform the search anyway.

Edited to add: BTW, if your car gets all scrsthed up from the dogs, that’s just too bad.

Get a dash cam, front and rear ideally, which also grabs the interior. You do not need to notify police that they are on camera, while in uniform they are public personnel and are not subject to any expectation of privacy while carrying out their “duty”. But it may be good to mention you have a camera in there, and no, you will not turn it off.
