For me, the ability to move your taskbar to the sides of the screen. I use an ultrawide, and have plenty of horizontal space to spare, but very little vertical.

It’s a ridiculous regression, that only exists because MS engineers are too lazy to figure out how to put all their new taskbar junk like copilot, weather, news, etc. in a vertical setting.

I have a zojirushi rice cooker that’s similar and I love it!

Other then that my oven, coffee maker, kettle, kitchen fan all have the same shrill beep that’s hard to know what’s what.

I had this problem with Equinix! They limited our company to like 10kva per rack, and we were installing nvidia dgx servers. Depending on the model we could fit only one or two lol.

I loved synology, this is such a punch in the gut. After I adopted them myself like 10ish years ago, I converted my dad, and two seperate friends to pick one up too. Never going back now.

Characters from resident evil video game. At least in RE4, you play as Leon and there’s a mysterious woman in a red dress who drops in occasionally to mess with you.

Apparently she keeps taking care of herself afterwards, but Leon winds up as a bum lol.

Kind of similar to Ash in Pokémon who remains a kid, when Misty becomes an adult and moves on with her life but in reverse.

Sami from advance wars definitely awakened something in kid me.

I have a bpi-r4, it’s fantastic, totally recommended.

No idea about its wifi 7 though, I didn’t buy the addon board, and went with unifi u7’s instead.

Also, looking at the specs of the upcoming openwrt two devices, with only a single 10g port, it won’t work well if you’re getting 10gig service from your ISP, and have a 10g lan as well

There’s an Interesting history of American cars in Japan. Ford had an incredible failure here, and had to leave with egg on their face, which is incredible because the mandatory vehicle inspections every couple of years make it the easiest country on the planet for dealerships to make money.

They tax vehicles by engine displacement though, so all those massive engines would be super unpopular, and as I understand it, they also shipped left hand drive cars here, which is absolutely unpractical.

One wonders why they didn’t just ship UK market fords here, they have the steering wheel on the right side, and the smaller size would be more likely to appeal to drivers with more narrow streets.

It is common to see chargers and mustang on the road in Tokyo though, but they’re all grey market imports.

As a techy guy, I absolutely hate automatic updates, but for any network connected device, if they don’t have automatic updates most people will literally never update.

Speaking on behalf of my family, they’ll let Internet-enabled stuff go unpatched for 10+ years (I think I had some relatives still using XP within the last couple of years lol).

I would argue this leave it alone behavior would be totally fine, if it wasn’t for every device nowadays being some Internet of shit thing that demands a wifi connection before it can even be setup, which is the real problem as I see it, especially as most of these companies won’t support them with security updates for as long as people expect to use them.

I do the same but with 2.5 inch sata ssd’s, and a hot swap bay in the front of my case. Swapping the OS is like using an old cassette player, now with 2TB of storage haha.

I kind of wish u.2 drives could take off in the same way, so I could do the same thing but with direct nvme storage.

Jellyfin is awesome (I use it with my shield TV), but the reason I found plex worth paying for is their audio companion plexamp, and its integration with carplay.

I tested a ton of different apps and services, and other then plex the only good carplay experience was from online only services like spotify or similar that come with hefty subscription fees. Internet auth does suck tho.

Not local, but I’ve been using my withings scale for at least 5 years, and I sync the weights with its home assistant automation from the withings api, then plot the data on a custom health dashboard I made.

I’d love a local alternative, but regardless I haven’t had any problems with my setup.

I definitely can’t tell the difference for anything above 120hz or so, but I recall reading an article about counter strike several years ago, which showed that pro players can see an increase in performance with higher refresh rates up to about 300 or 350 hz (as long as you have the fps to match it, lol).

Haha, exact same for me. The central American order almost always trips me up.

I have a ton of home automation dashboards around my house, and they’re awesome. Friends that stop by love them, although they have no technical skills to build these themselves (basically a raspberry pi with an lcd panel showing some specific home assistant dashboard, or monitoring webpage, etc).

I think there’s a decent market here for a company like Apple that can make it more accessible.

What a cool idea! I got it in 1, but I knew the landmark haha. Looking forward to tomorrow!

This article lacks some details, but I believe this is largely just treating a bicycle more like any other vehicle. As far as vehicle crimes go here, the existence of jail time as a punishment only exists if you don’t pay the fine, and these new laws just increase the fines.

Anyways, these changes are largely worthless for a couple of reasons. First it’s already a crime to use your phone while riding a bike, or riding drunk, or riding with headphones, but it’s basically totally unenforced. Same thing with riding using an umbrella, but even the police do that here!

As for drunkards getting home from the bar, they wouldn’t have a car available to them generally, so people riding drunk are usually doing so because they missed their last train, and they don’t want to pay for a taxi.
