Wasn’t Gooch Gary Coleman’s bully on Different Strokes?

Look at mister fancy pants with and assembler.

How about entering straight opcode, operand with only a hex keypad and two pairs of 7 segment LEDs. You can only see one set of numbers at a time. You had to write it out on paper to be able to keep track and count positions so you don’t use your spot.

I had to do this as a project in school. Two 8088 units that we breadboarded to a UART that we used to drive a fiber optic link to communicate with each other with a basic protocol. All descrete components hand wired and coded.

It made you tie all of skills together into a full system of hardware and software.

The upgrade looks like a pain in the ass

You mean Fxctory

Bonus for the toilet right there in the bathroom with no door.

I am old enough to remember when they only had manual screw drivers and thicker wood screws that needed to be pre-drilled and lubed with soap.

Go buy a modern “cheap” wood screw. Not a deck screw. An actual wood screw. Pre-drill the correct size hole, including the countersink, and use the correct size manual Phillips screwdriver. You will never strip out the screws.

Now take a 500 RPM impact driver that has almost enough torque to remove lug nuts, a worn or wrong size bit, and a thin shank screw that was only designed to hold down deck boards and the slightest slip or misalignment and have this photo.

We all do it because it is fast/easy. Just understand that you are doing things the convenient way instead of the right way, and you have to expect the stuff to sometimes not work aa advertised because of it.

Somebody could go to jail for this. You.

The DMCA makes it a felony to circumvent protections in services. If they wanted to push this and depending on the system disabling or using some hack to bypass could be illegal.

I don’t think that anyone would actually bring the case against an individual, but a company selling any sort of device or instructions to make it easier for people could be targeted.

The government buys your data, too. And not just your government.

For any legal case, government or your spouse’s divorce attorney, it’s a low bar to soupeana “business records” from these companies.

The US needs stronger data protection and privacy laws. Unfortunately, the corporations buy enough politicians to prevent it.

What’s the last thing that goes through a bugs mind when it hits a windshield? Its asshole.

Check out NetBox. It is a free open source datacenter inventory management and IP address management tool. It will let you catalog all of your physical assets along with the network assignments.

Not free, but I have been using Insync for years and it works well. $30 one time cost, but worth it.

Even Nvidia video works out of the box without any additional drivers.

The thing with Nvidia is that although the default drivers work, they are more generic and don’t take advantage of all of the features and performance of recent cards. Most people would want to load the proprietary drivers from Nvidia to take full advantage of the card.

Linux would normally include the better drivers, but Nvidia keeps them under a software license that prevents Linux distributions from bundling them.

Even with this, Ubuntu includes a tool that will download and install these drivers that they can’t

You don’t need any internet connection to install Ubuntu. Just use the normal install, not minimal network installer. Install from a USB stick.

Also, there’s no requirement for a wire either. If that were the case, you could never install on any modern laptop.

You would need some sort of functioning network to upgrade packages or install anything not in the base image, but this would all be after installation when you have a working OS and wired or wireless won’t matter.

New versions of software are released because the older version was lacking in some way. Features, security, functionality.

Lowest number wins.

I have had various sticks and Roku highest end models and then got the latest ATV with hard wire port that adds Dolby vision and high frame rate HDR. I have a 2022 high-end TV.

The video quality is noticeably better. Not sure of older ATV, but this is clearly better than the top end Roku. Also, I’m not sure if it is the same on older tvs

The other thing is that you want to hard wire if at all possible. Even the best wifi can’t touch the reliability of a wire

Or he could go it operations where every day is “a bad day to stop sniffing glue” because you are the only thing keeping the house of cards up while dev and network squabble over who’s foot cannon broke shit this time.

Does the group have any archive, mailing lists, ticket system, etc, where they work on and document the work that they have been doing?

Past questions and answers will tell you common issues, solutions, should point you towards the areas where you need to focus.

The board is about 2 feet shorter in cold weather.

Seems like your edge server is acting as a proxy for a media server on some other host on your LAN.

You want to make sure that the media server software is setup securely, patched, and properly isolated from anything else in LAN should that become compromised. Proxy closes off a lot of attack vectors but not application vulnerabilities. The Lastpass hack happened because of some vulnerability in an employees home plex server.
