That's odd. Try httpforever.com instead.

That's crazy, I don't know how you do it. When my SO and I got back together after I had gone vegan she tried it for me and has stuck with it ever since. I can't imagine having to fight against my SO or watch them eat meat every day.

Sorry, I know you're not commenting for relationship advice. I'm sure there is a world where two people could have different beliefs on this and still coexist, but yours sounds... hostile. I'd really ask yourself if they're worth it.

I'd they'd bring back the headphone jack and sell them in North America then they might have something.

It would win the "will it fit nicely on a keychain" by a landsline.

However I doubt it would suit OP's needs as the contacts are exposed so durability may be suspect, and seeing as it is generic I doubt the performance is up to his standards.

I wish Firefox would build a tablet/scalable interface. It's horrible on a tablet and breaks on DeX.

That's a good practice, and I think you're right that is what they're going for. I don't think that means you shouldn't consider them, but it does lower their value proposition as the bundle is the better deal.

I haven't jumped yet, but the Proton suite is looking more and more appealing. I've been eyeing them as a Gmail replacement, but I've been happy with my VPN and password management providers. As this reduces the bundle makes more sense.

Not defending Apple for bad design, but this has happened before with displays from different manufacturers. The ribbon cable burning from a tight bend was also what killed my first LG Ultrawide.

You think someone stupid enough to make all the above mistakes would be savvy enough to build PKI and a RADIUS server? You're giving her too much credit.

This is actually a very good comparison because restaurants use this argument all the time, except for wages:

"I can't make money running my restaurant if I have to pay a living wage to my servers, so you should pay them with tips. How else can we stay open?"

These business that can't operate profitably like any other business should fail.

Absolutely. It sounds ideal for something like that.

The issue is they sit in this odd place from a price perspective. I can get an N4000 based stick PC with 4GB RAM and eMMC storage for $140 CAD, or a vastly better performing N95 based mini PC with 8GB RAM, real SSD, and additional outputs for $50 more.

The stick PC really only makes sense if you need that form factor, or if you're on a really tight budget. The improvements for $50 are just too much to ignore.

 

With Chromecasts being discontinued, increase in ads, telemetry, etc I'm wondering if anyone else is going back to old school HTPCs or if they have some other solution to do this in house.

I think the options here are likely:

  1. Rooted streamer (ie Chromecast, firestick)
  2. Android Box
  3. Mini PC

I'm actually most interested in experimenting with #3, a mini PC running KDE Plasma Bigscreen. Most of my self hosted apps can be run in browser windows, and a full desktop (while harder to navigate) is better than the browsers you can get on Android.

What is everyone esle, especially the privacy / de-googled self hosters doing for their media front end?
