Can confirm. With a dog who sheds enough hair to build a statue of himself every week, a robot vacuum has been a great help. Just make sure to get one with a self-emptying bin, or your gonna be emptying it yourself after every lap around the house, and it’ll be more tedious than just vacuuming yourself.
I just got a 4k TCL QLED TV from Costco a couple months ago. Have been quite pleased with the image quality so far, but I keep it disconnected from the internet, and only use it with my nvidia shield running the projectivity launcher as the home screen to switch between smart tube, Plex, and steam link.
Not an ad in sight.
If the phone rings, by the time I get to it they’ve usually already hung up or reached voicemail, so I only end up answering if its important enough to call me twice.
Nextcloud.
Does everything from GSuite that I need it to, but without looking through everything I upload, and analyzing it for advertising and other purposes that I wouldn’t consent to.
The problem I have with UBI is say I get a hundred bucks a week from it, there’s not a single thing stopping my landlord, or my utility companies, or local supermarkets, or anyone in this godforsaken system from just raising their prices to siphon it all away.
We don’t need universal income, we need universal services. Garaunteed housing, food, public transport, healthcare, everything needed to sustain atleast a basic standard of living so we’re not constantly in fear of whether the last month of 70 hour work weeks is going to be enough to keep of the streets and keep food on the table.
If you’re tech-savvy, or willing to learn, A nextcloud instance would be my goto
First OS, WinXP.
Later when win7 was discontinued, I kept windows 10 on my desktop and Ubuntu on my laptop. It wasnt until Valve started working on proton and most of the games I play became playable on Linux that I ditched windows entirely.
I distrohopped around for a while, but always found myself landing back on Ubuntu, so it’s what I’ve stuck with to this day, although if anyone else asks me what distro they should get, I will usually recommend mint.
Oh, but they did.
It just doesn’t resemble the bourgeois ‘democracy’ we have in the west, but rather something else entirely that better fits the 'for the people, by the people, of the people" definition of democracy.
I’m willing to bet that some techbro either already has, or will in the near future propose an Ai toilet that will do something exactly this.
I’ve been loving Andy Weir’s space trilogy (The Martian, Artemis, Project Hail Mary). I haven’t been able to put his books down, and another one of his stories is currently in production for a film.
1000/1000, £25/mo. Plus an extra £5 which included some mesh AP’s and a static IP not behind a CGNAT.
Overall pretty good, but I disagree with point #2.
Land lording
Stock trading
Product Scalping
etc.
It’s actually cheaper than getting an Amazon Ring too, provided you already have mains access from an existing doorbell, and a 3d printer on hand.
I have a pi zero running as a doorbell camera, alongside a couple more CCTV cameras, and a pi4 running in kiosk mode connected to my motioneye server displaying said camera streams on a crappy old TV in my home office.
Atleast it provides time for me to quickly take a leak in a bottle.
My main take away from that article is that unions arent trying to organise new members, and that we need a single organisation created specifically to do so… Completely overlooking the organisations such as the IWW which has been attempting just that for over a century and ultimately facing the same fate as most other attempts at mass unionisation in america.
An american pickup truck would physically not fit on the street I live on. This place was designed for horse carts, not monster trucks.
