I've been reasonably happy with it since 2013 now.

This last year however, I've started to hear complaints from staff of annoying popups about AI stuff people don't want to use

I remember in the early days you could watch your storage quota go up in real time.

We did this with Jeremy Brett Sherlock. Boxed set is of some sentimental value, but we tired of loading the disc, finding the episode etc. Even worse if you have to stop half way.

They ended up ripped and played on kodi

There's one in the UK too, Cinema Paradiso. The prices are also quite high.

Also, the turnaround times were really slow. Slow mail perhaps, but at the same time it's kind of in their interests to not turn things around so fast.

In the UK, letters get a lower priority than packages which doesn't help.

Yeah that just tripped me up trying to recomission a 2012 Macbook Pro.

Couldn't connect to wifi except through a password-less hotspot. Then I couldnt get online because nothing with SSL was working.

I didnt have a pen drive so I had to FTP off another machine, via my phone hotspot. We got there though!

Yes it's a common misconception that you can only make wide crumbed hipster crusty loaves. Those are great but if you want plain white bread, buns, croissants, etc etc it's all possible to do.

In fact a lot of these helped shape our miserable dystopia. HN didn't see that coming

The switch to systemd is the last time I FUBARed my system. 2012 it looks like?? I simply did not even remotely understand what I was doing.

Also long time zerotier user here, I run a controller for our company. I'm starting to experience infrequent but annoying drops in connection, and DNS is a headache.

How is netbird on iOS?

Wow, I just tried noctalia and it instantly replaced a load of brittle and stupid hacks I was relying on, what an amazing out of the box experience

That's what struck me about niri when I tried it - it does what it promises without any show stopping bugs or complications.

Electric car battery degradation has been super interesting, in that they are going way further than people thought they might. Jonny Smith on youtube bought a 300k+ mile Tesla and the battery is at like 75% health.

As far as I can tell if your battery isn't air cooled, it can go a very long way

There's also ems-esp which I use on an older Worcester Bosch boiler to set flow temperatures based on the outside temperature (managed by home assistant).

All our desk phones at work are poe and they have pass through ports to allow connecting a PC to the LAN. Really neat to just have one cable that gives you a powered phone, and Ethernet access.

What switch do you use? I have PoE wifi APs throughout the house, but I bought an Aruba switch and it's super noisy tbh. Fine for me because it's in the basement, but I couldn't recommend it

I use this very specifically for setting up new machines. It's one of those where I don't use it much, but when I do it has saved me a whole lot of time, and it's worked well every time.

I notice that with niri even people who have never seen tiling WMs instantly 'get' it. I think the animations are a large part of that.

Yes same here but with i3, I ran it for over 10 years but niri was just an instant 'aha' moment for me.

I will say, recent builds have a 'mini map' sort of zoom-out feature that I quite like - my one critique of niri was that I would sometimes get 'lost'.
