There were handheld electronic card game players in the 80’s.

You’d be surprised how many phone calls took place at that time.

Mayne talking about a show, or chatting someone up, etc. You were bored, so a phone was great.

Readers Digest contained multiple books in one volume

So, what’s the utility of labeling yourself a “bad person”?

Everyone, everyone is imperfect, it’s the nature of being human. And we’re all imperfect in our own way, though we may share categories or degree of imperfection with others.

What’s more useful is to acknowledge when a poor choice is made, and striving to make better choices.

Negative self-talk doesn’t help.

My Lexmark laser, from 1996, just quit last summer.

Though I think I can fix it - seems a paper jam sensor is stuck.

I guess all the philosophers who’ve written about it over the centuries got it wrong then?

If you’ve owned more than 2, those are on you! 🤣

But yea, consumer printers suck.

Bingo!

Now consider a large business with dozens or hundreds of network devices.

Uggh, the chsllenges.

New infra will likely have IP6 enabled, and they’ll slowly switch.

It’s great for backbone and public address space - and maybe in enterprise, but there it’s a costly transition that won’t happen immediately. Things will change as hardware ages out and is replaced.

New infrastructure will be mostly IP6.

And when people leave the office, their machines will connect to, and transit IP4 networks, so they’ll still need to address how everything works over IP4 (say VPN connections, any hardware/software that’s still IP4 dependent in the data centers, etc).

Thank you.

I’ve said this repeatedly in many communities and it’s like I killed the golden goose - people lose their minds.

I disable IP6 everywhere - my router NATs everything as it is, why have another protocol running if I don’t use it?

We’ll see what the future brings.

And this was written in English, so using English conventions.

I’ve tested converting DVDs at different resolutions, and playing them on a 60" screen sitting 6’ away.

720 is just fine. I really can’t tell a difference between 720 and 1080, usually. Surprisingly.

Lots of good ideas here, but don’t forget to discuss these ideas with her first.

I’d recommend reading ADHD and Adults, it’s a good intro to how ADHD works differently in adults than children.

Then maybe talk about her difficulties with her, and ask how you can help. Work to understand her perspective first, what she finds difficult, what she finds frustrating.

Then pick one thing, together, that you can help with. You need to work as a team, taking on challenges together (this is sort of relationships 101, it’s a team thing).

Most lotions contain dimethicone, a silicone relative.

They both work by being moisture barriers, preventing moisture loss (for hand lotion).

As someone who struggles with skin issues, I don’t even bother with lotions that don’t have dimethicone, they’re practically useless for me.

Yes, no, sort of.

I mean shampoo is definitely not the same as laundry soap.

And even between shampoos, there are differences (as anyone with skin conditions can attest).

Are products in any one category largely the same? Yes. But there are differences.

Or any business, not even corporate.

You see the same crap in SMB.

Static IP address and Dynamic DNS can expose your network to attackers on the internet. With Holesail, you expose only the port you choose.

Er, wut? If you’re exposing a port, then your public IP is being used, as a port is a subset of an IP interface. So even Holesail uses the public IP in some way…thats how the internet works. Unless they’re only making outbound connections, which isn’t a new idea at all - Hamachi was doing it 20 years ago.

This sounds like FUD to me - of course your public IP is used, whether static or dynamic. How do they supposedly mitigate this risk?

There’s nothing on the home page saying how it works, or how it’s different than current solutions.

I’m intrigued to see a new tool in this space, but this one is starting off leaving a bad taste. Even Tailscale admits they use Wireguard, and even have a comparison between Wireguard and Tailscale that’s pretty honest (though they focus on what Tailscale adds).

Being open and transparent is a minimum today - anything less and it’s not worth the time for a second look.

Who writes this garbage?

So much bad writing, “dented cast iron frying pan”, umm, cast iron doesn’t dent.

Good on the homeowner though. Some Tom and Jerry action there!

My takeaway: jetflix developed a model that worked. Just need to replicate that many times.

Would probably work well for sharing with family /friends.

Guess we’d need to qualify it with more in our personal libraries that we actually want to watch. Lol
