I just enjoy that I can call them “xbone”

I also know nothing about helicopters but I bet the answer is “yes… If you know how” with a follow up of “and they did not”

Internal RAID1 as first line of defense. Rsync to external drives where at least one is always offsite as second. Rclone to cloud storage for my most important data as the third.

Backups 2 and 3 are manual but I have reminders set and do it about once a month. I don’t accrue much new data that I can’t easily replace so that’s fine for me.

Is there a sim card buried in there somewhere that can be removed or is it soldered in, potted, etc?

… Or your car bricks if you remove it wouldn’t surprise me, regardless.

Might vary by locale? Around here (South US) it seems like every single store has their own rewards/discount/whatever system that requires your phone number but it’s not necessary for the transaction… It’s just an extra info grab.

Sometimes the user facing POS/credit card reader will let you handle it (enter/skip) but many places rely on the salesperson to ask and then enter it or skip.

But, I also don’t get around much so my experience is limited.

Same.

Cashier: “What’s your phone number?” (For the store tracking/rewards/whatever)

Me : “Don’t have one!” (As I remove the credit card from the case on the back of myphone)

Nobody has questioned it once. They don’t want to ask in the first place but are forced to.

Generally speaking, programmers like to program (many do it just for fun), and many dislike review. AI removes the programming from the equation in favour of review.

This really resonated with me and is an excellent point. I’m going to have to remember that one.

Ooo, I’ll have to check this out. Thank you

Slashnet still exists and it’s fairly active depending on the channel. #xkcd was bumping last time I checked my client.

: D

I think they just fixed it

Yeah, Linux can capture and playback the spoken distinction between lowercase and uppercase letters. Windows can’t do that.

You’re not taking advantage of that functionality?

Ah, delete the windows partition. That should keep me safe.

You must have much higher standards than me.

I have no useful info to add but posting to follow since I’ve got one of their 220s that’s kind of flaky and have been debating poking around inside.

Full sun in the fall and it was waffling between 0w and ~18w while feeding an AC200P. But the next day with almost exact conditions and location it was getting around 180w for awhile at least.

Then life got busy and 9 months later I haven’t retested. It was “free” with a promotion though.

“guten tight”

“Tighten until you hear the crack, then back a quarter turn”

gun-zip just rolls off the tongue better. Two syllables instead of three? Yes, please.

I’ve never heard fs-tab in my life. Always f-stab. Hmmm…

Whoopsie!

I’ll join this.

I commented on a motorcycle thread a few days ago where the poster said “bike from 1982, over forty years old” (or something to that effect) where I had to do the math and realize… Shit… That was forty years ago.

I can confirm two in use simultaneously and a total of three connected (2 xbone, 1 PS5) but we were playing a two player only game. I would assume that if the game supports it, the deck would too.

… But that’s an assumption :)

EDIT: to clarify - the wireless connectivity support is from the deck, not the dock.
