He can if the GOP decides to do nothing, and it seems that the game plan. They're all in on downplaying his actions and not ruffling any feathers because to speak out is to be cast out. If they play along, they might just get to keep some power when this is all over.

They've always been scum, but this is a new low. Dried scum crusted onto the bottom of wherever scum normally resides.

In Canada we see both. It says "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".

That future is now. Most modern cars have the dashboard computer completely integrated and you can't remove it without crippling the vehicle.

This again? It's not going to happen.

That was because OKC had long form quizzes and in depth bios. It has been Tinderized and is no longer recognizable.

The problem with cable was it was not on demand and contained ads.

I would never, ever pay for cable even in today's world if it was $10 a month because of the overwhelming amount of ads.

I haven't tried, but I wouldn't recommend it. It was years ago that I set it up, but I belive it wanted an app. I would stick with one designed for local only.

Instead they did the opposite and gave him the biggest bonus in world history.

I have an EcoBee thermostat which is typically web managed, however it also supports HomeKit. Using the homekit plugin for HomeAssistant I now get best of both worlds.

If I were to do it again I might consider a Z-Wave or ZigBee thermostat, but living in a cold climate I really appreciate knowing that if for some reason my home auto fails there is a backup service to alert me, or vice versa.

Please just give us self hosting nerds SR-IOV on affordable cards. I really want to have a Linux VM and Windows VM that both have access to a GPU simultaneously.

I was hoping Intel would let some of these enterprise locked features trickle down as a value add, but no dice. Every year AMD just undercuts NVIDIA by a small amount, but it doesn't compete on some of that tech NVIDIA has so it's a wash.

But they're too concerned it would eat into their enterprise cards where they make boatloads, so it's not going to happen. Imagine if consumer CPUs didn't support virtualization, it would be insane and that's where we are with GPUs today.

I believed him at first, why wouldn't I? Self driving was starting to take shape, the demos looked good, I assumed what he was saying was legitimate.

I remember starting to question things around the time of the Tesla Semi reveal. It didn't make sense to me that you'd use heavy, short range batteries in an industry that runs by driving as far as possible, for as cheap as possible, hauling as much as possible. There were just too many compromises and he didn't give any details other than acceleration (who cares in trucking).

After that I started looking into him more and realized his bullshit spread through everything he touched. I honestly think most people are simply not paying attention to him, they just read headlines and since headlines never call him out and only amp up the crazy ambitious things he says, people believe he's a genius.

That seems to be slowly changing as he opens his stupid mouth about politics, but he's pivoting to a new audience now.

OK, so I followed up on this idea and I'm not sure how viable it is. The chip is very small, but the antenna is quite often traced quite far across the card. The layout depends on the card, but might be more of a pain than it's worth.

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?
