Ideally it is a way for somebody who put a lot of time and effort into something (as a loss) to get paid for their work. But our current system favours patent trolls and billionaires

Potting Grrrr. My fancy track lighting has been potted. It sucks because absolutely no place (even China) sells the 48v LED driver with the odd body shape to bypass the internal mounting screws, and the potting means I can't access the board to desolder a resostor or something

Totally a non issue unless a government arrested somebody with the intent to gain their key because : "The attacks require about $11,000 worth of equipment and a sophisticated understanding of electrical and cryptographic engineering. "

Yeah I didn't find Linux install any harder than installing windows from scratch.

Edit: the only thing was multiple choices for home filesystem, which made me do some research on why I would want ext3 or 4 of xfs, or btrfs.

It is Linux, but the machines are low apec and depend on cloud based google stuff for storage etc. Not quite the same as Desktop or powerful laptop

If it came preinstalled it would overtake Windows

It has been a long time since I took a via train. In the mid nineties the train flush opened the toilet flap onto the gravel track below, and a sign said "Do not flush while train is in station". Hopefully they have upgraded that system, so maybe electrically operated pump system to a container vessel? And maybe no electricity meant no removal of waste.

Use of a VPN can be detected by ISP inspection, they then probably had other survellance on why he was VPNing out, or the Influencer had another follower that was a plant and collected a list of thr followers

Yes, my wife is always amazed or puzzled by how I know exactly what I'm missing. Like it will be I need peanuts, or greens, etc. Once I have those I instantly feel full and satisfied. If we don't have the specific Item my body signals I'm hungry and will nag me for food all day (i assume it hopes quantity will bring in the nutrients needed) There was recent science about the gut nerve signaling your brain when it needs things, and not a one way nerve from brain to gut like they previosuly thought

I find that with a lot of sports enthuisists, some make it their entire life, so there are no chill times. One guy even said are you into Hockey? I say No, never watch it and don't follow a team. He proceeda to tell me intricate details about a game he watched last night.

That one smart home brand that went bust and nobody could turn on/off lights etc. LOL. Thankful some selfhoster types came to the rescue amd setup an alternate server. It is why I "flashed" my switches to be local hosted and never go to web, and just use homeassistant as the server
