I switched to Bitwarden after the LastPass stuff a couple years ago, and I just got around to installing Vaultwarden on my TrueNAS system at home. Using a single Cloudflare Tunnel to handle secure external connections for that and other services like Emby easily. Took a little bit to setup following some guides, but has been working flawlessly for me and some friends. You can use the regular Bitwarden apps and extensions since they natively support self hosting.

You do know there's a reason for that voice difference in MGSV right?

Very few people even bother to clock the link. They only ever read the headline.

It was someone that cheated in a tournament. Not a player in random match online. Although he probably tested the cheats there first.

AmTrak is designed to suck. Freight lines own most of the rails, and while they are required to give priority to passenger trains, they avoid this in several ways. Like having the freight trains too long to fit on side rails so the passenger trains are required to stop instead to make way.

Ancestry stuff has been pretty popular in the US for decades, DNA testing for it is relatively new but just the next easy step.

That's because when it comes to Apple, hypocrisy is the way of life.

Played for about 2 hours yesterday and that's exactly what is happening. The game prevents you from plopping your space right on top of another base but the blocked region around it isn't very large.

So they decided that magnetic joycons versus a new rail design were worth another set of drift lawsuits.

Because any potential new drift lawsuit is going to cite the old one as clear proof that Nintendo knew what would happen, had the opportunity to change the design so it didn't, and decided to do it again anyway.

Companies neglecting to tell existing voice talent with years of experience playing specific characters that they're being replaced is actually fairly common. With how clearly Nintendo DGAF about anyone lately it's not surprising at all. They may not have planned to tell her at all officially and someone took it upon themselves when they found out shortly before launch.

Many/Most companies view voice talent as completely expendable and replaceable. For camera talent, you have the person's image as well, but with voice talent, in most cases people won't notice the actor being replaced. Especially since vocal impersonation is so common.

Of course it is. Unless they switched to hall effect sticks, which they already said they weren't doing. For whatever reason, they still want to save the pennies instead of using the better component even after the previous issues and lawsuits. Why do companies insist on shooting themselves in the foot constantly?

Starlink provides service to areas where fiber is impossible. Like the middle of the ocean and actual rural areas where fiber runs could be tens of miles or more between homes. Those are area where no one will build out fiber unless the homeowner is paying for it themselves, the various government programs would never cover those actual rural areas despite what they claim. At best they might cover city outskirts for new infrastructure, where fiber nodes are already relatively close by. They're never adding fiber to existing rural farms and ranches.

They are not a 1:1 service comparison. You would need to compare It to other satellite providers, and there isn't a comparison because all of those are dogshit in comparison to Starlink.

There's a reason it's as popular as it is so quickly despite satellite internet in general not being new. The low earth satellite constellation means a massive difference in capability compared to conventional geostationary satellites. Multiple second latency, slow downloads nowhere near advertised double digit Mbps speeds, single digit Mbps upload speeds and often monthly data limits as low as 50GB per month are what the conventional satellite providers offer.
