Bypassed standard FBI background checks ... to vet candidates for criminal history and conflicts of interest.

Those are features, not bugs now. They know exactly who they picked.

Call me selfish, but I kinda hoped to retire above ground.

I have 10Gbit and hunted that whale. But I didn't build my own router. Electricity is $0.51 Kw/h. Ouch.

First, 10Gbit hardware is more available now than years ago, so you have more options. I started off with the router my ISP gave me. It worked, but it was 1Gbit. Not going to do for me. Plus, basic function was paywalled. Booooo! Snagged a broken Asus router and got it working great.

With IDS/IPS enabled, I get about 3.5Gbps. There is newer router tech today that looks interesting with fewer bottlenecks that would have been nice years ago, but not worth the upgrade right now.

My desktop hits about 2Gbps downloading Steam games/updates, but my partners desktop lags behind with SATA SSD storage. Definitely need NVME with that speed.

I will say my experience with 10Gbit Ethernet cards is not positive. I have a lot of intermittent disconnections and there are a lot of bugs vs 1Gbit switches. They do not like sharing with 2.5Gbit devices. I keep my server on 1Gbit connections. It's plenty fast for my needs though.

The law says all vehicles must yield to them, even if they were "breaking the law".

Source? I'd like to read that.

Oh yeah, not disagreeing with that!

Insurance varies a lot with what you drive, where, amount of coverage, and history of driving.

Mine is around $800/year and I drive nothing to brag about. (Well, except cost of ownership and safety record. Knock on wood). But my partner pays more because they have more coverage and a newer car worth covering.

But if you think $350/month is high, let me introduce you to private health insurance. 😂

I also use SynctThing for backing up. Android has such terrible options. At least I have my data if things go south.

This is the first app I installed when I got my new phone and will have a home here until it throws errors.

Thanks for your hard work devs!

Shut up and take my resume!

I second this. It's an amazing utility for video encoding.

Used it for converting class projects back in the day. The queue feature saved my arse back when prores to HEVC conversions took days.

Excited for that jump. How do I buy tickets?

Weeeelllllll.... Yeah I guess you have a good point. If something did happen, finger pointing starts.

Gestures at wires

But it's right there! I need a 1-day OSHA permit just to yank crap out!

I kinda want one of these. I could load it up with my collection. It'd be awesome. I can imagine my SO's blood boiling already at the sight of "more useless junk"!

And what do you need an electrician for? Turn off power, open a panel, and disconnect the wires. Snip snip. Frankly, I'm surprised a dedicated switch/breaker for a 3rd party kiosk isn't mandatory.

If only I had the space ...
