Interesting. Doesn’t look like that brand is available outside North America, but maybe there is hope?

Serious question: what options are there for non-smart TVs these days? I remember looking when I bought a new TV a few years ago, and EVERYTHING was “smart”.

I fairly recently tried to do a rm match* but accidentally put a space between the match and the *…

I kinda thought they were in the wrong order, though: “rm -rf ~/“ should have been after “stopped thinking”.

The XKCD one is interesting, but seems to be missing the transfer to/from the storage medium sent by FedEx.

If I want to move data from my computer to yours over the internet, the internet bandwidth between our devices/networks is the main consideration. If I’m FedExing SD cards or HDDs, I’ve also gotta take into account the transfer times to get the data ONTO those devices.

I wonder how the analysis would fair when taking into account:

• speed of internet
• TB/kg of storage
• storage medium transfer speeds

For me, the hard part isn’t driving on the “wrong” side of the road. You pick that up pretty quickly. You need to think a bit more when turning, but it’s not so hard. For me the harder part is driving from the “wrong” side of the car. I may have almost mounted a curb or two because I forgot where I was in the lane.

All, team, friends, everyone, folks (preferably prefixed with “howdy”)…

As a Australian, I tend to shy away from USAisms as a matter of course, but I 100% agree. English lacks a formal plural form of “you”, and while Australia has its own informal variation (“youse”), I’m a big fan of y’all.

I like to think that if enough people ended up taking 10 minutes on a support call to validate someone’s identity, when it should take 10 seconds, maybe the companies would learn to stop asking stupid security questions. I like to think that, but in reality nothing will change.

Ah, yes, D7k3y2mHy5lZhbyHa St, I remember it well.

I use my password manager to generate the answer. My mothers maiden name is CzyHcjMKMfwT4tZ7HXbavQrOPo and my first pet was Avhu6FqPTRsWwafA, but we called him Avhu for short.

I used to have an email address “myfirstname@i.am”. I thought it was really cool… until I kept having issues logging into sites that didn’t understand how email worked. I now use “companyimgivingmyemailto@myname.com”, and I just confuse humans who think I work at their company, and that I don’t understand how email works…

Wow. I know Australia Post sucks, but this is bad even for them!

No, that was a different one.

I know you said “no nextcloud”, but I often see posts from people who say nextcloud was overkill for them, but they don’t realise that almost every component of nextcloud can be uninstalled if you don’t want it. It can be pretty barebones if you want it to be.

I don’t see how you’re going to get away from the domain requirement, though, unless you’re just going to connect to your raw IP address? (And if you are, I didn’t think that nextcloud required a domain?)

Sorry I can’t be more helpful with a different solution, but hopefully someone out there knows of something that would suit your needs.

But much closer to 60% from 2004-2016, and below 60% before that. See turnout statistics. Definitely more than 50% of eligible population typically voting, though.

What law would it be breaking?

Not sure about USA law, but in Australia we would call that “obtaining financial advantage by deception”. Otherwise known as “fraud”.

It was screwed into a hard plastic “case” thats only purpose seemed to be to have a hook so it could be hung on the store’s shelf.
