TIL: 20 years ago was just yesterday. Go buy CDs! They still make them!

Honestly, I’d love to hear about ALL technologies on here, not just computer based ones.

I purposely don’t do the printer PS powers the octopi thing… I like to be able to drop some gcode on it for later or do updates when the printer isn’t on.

MBPs all have HDMI and SD slots… but Definitely set up the octopi with a cheap webcam. I’ve run one for years now and it’s so nice to be able to kick off and check on prints from my phone. Not to mention it doesn’t matter what computer I slice on and the files are small enough that I have gcode for almost everything I’ve printed for instant access to reprint whenever.

Definitely don’t this in the past (Linksys WRT54G!) but let’s be honest, the kind of people running 10yo Dlink routers aren’t going to flash new firmware, let alone OpenWRT or even know to look for it. It would have to come that way from the factory. And even then I doubt most people even do regular updates, sadly.

My boss still uses these to this day. A while ago he found a deal and bought like 10, new in box. He has one everywhere and backups to spare.

with the US-based security vendor on November 11 urging customers to pull their management interfaces off the public internet or restrict them to known IP addresses.

Why would you EVER put management interfaces on the public internet? What terrible decisions led them down that path? VPN is so quick and easy at a minimum.

She’ll likely just blame it on Obama and “the libs” and abortion, and “the gays”, and then post on Facebook about that. At least that’s what mine will do.

I’d say check out this site: https://selfh.st/apps/?tag=Blog

There’s a number on there. I’ve personally used Grav, I hear ghost and Hugo are good. They’re more limited, but they’re much faster and more secure. As someone who had to support Wordpress blogs for years, the amount of security issues on that thing always made me stay far from it for any thing personal.

Why not both?!

Everytime I see a commercial where someone uses AI to make something larger and embellish and such, I think of the other commercials where people use the same AI to summarize it for them.

To be fair, I’d move away from Wordpress entirely. So many better options out there without tyrannical leadership.

Ooh, can I use that App that used to be Remote Desktop and then they renamed it, hmm, what did they call it… oh right “Windows App”

Tale as old as time.

By “screen time” the article seems to assume the only thing they’re doing on their screens is social media. I had to check as if it was really just screens for more than 4hrs, that’s an interesting stat I hadn’t heard, but could make some sense. However, that’s not it. So doing things like content creation (drawing, writing, photography) reading or learning, aren’t counted in this study.

Yet another reason I’m glad I got my Canon Pixima 5000 series a while back. Individual cheap replacement ink carts with no electronics in them. I can (and have) buy 5 sets of carts for $20 that last me years.

If it wasn’t for photos, I’d have picked up a cheap laser printer.
