My cat only wants belly rubs. Anything else isn’t good enough.

Except that these pagers were distributed to more than just hezbollah. AUB (American university of Beirut) medical workers had them too, for example.

Also fire departments, hospitals and other medical services. They’re extremely reliable, last a very long time on a charge and don’t shatter when you accidentally drop it.

Thanks! Seems there still isn’t a way to disable the left swipe camera though?

Wait, where do I disable the lockscreen camera? I haven’t yet found that option unfortunately.

It’s one of my most hated “features”, to the point where I just completely disabled the camera itself to get rid of it.

If you have a surround setup, try boosting only the center speaker. Dialog is usually played through that.

Someone else mentioned a compressor. If your tv/hifi has a night mode, it’s doing that exact thing.

Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.

Switzerland has always been the go to holiday destination for my grandparents, parents and now me. The difference in pictures (and memories) between the generations is terrifying

Not necessarily if you’re the one walking in with the DC++ server. Getting that thing up and running was suddenly priority #1 for the entire floor.

Walk in, press on button, hang up jacket and get stuff out of bag, type in password, grab coffee.

That’s a pretty common morning pattern I see.

Those are some peak water polo nails.

That hit my timeline the other day. The amount of work that has been put into that video must have been insane.

Kinda the same thing as winrar. They rather have consumers get used to it so the companies they work at have a higher chance of buying licenses. That’s where the real money is.

Didn’t some company have a script running that would randomly kill stuff to always test redundancies?

I vaguely recall someone telling me that about netflix

Edit: https://github.com/Netflix/chaosmonkey

I just did it this morning, when you burn the ISO to a usb drive using Rufus you get a nice little menu that allows you to pre-set a local account, disable the TPM check and more.

The biggest pain is downloading the windows 11 iso in the first place. You can only do that when the site believes you’re not already using windows.

Bypassing the online check on setup is basically required on new hardware anyways, since most 2.5g/wifi6+ networking drivers aren’t included in the installer.

HEVC actually requires a $1 license you can get from the ms store. It’s a royalty thing. OEMs often ship PCs with that license already enabled.

There are more applications than just windows Media Player that won’t play hevc files/streams without that license installed.

VLC doesn’t really seem to care about those things though and it’s better than the default anyways.

Making a typo in the BGP config is the internet’s version of nuclear Armageddon

A lot of sensors/gauges in industrial applications are retrofitted with lorawan or similar remote readout capabilities right now. Battery life for these devices is already a big design consideration, especially since not all locations are easily accessible.

With a power source like this you would essentially charge a capacitor, use the stored charge to do a sensor read and short data burst, and then wait for the next charge.

It does exist, its called 801.11ah or wifi HaLow

That standard is mainly designed for things like IOT and wireless security cameras, but nothing stops you from getting an HaLow access point and network adapter.
