A UPS can keep the modem and phone running for a couple of hours. If you have satellite internet, it will work for as long as you can power it. Cable or DSL will go out when the battery dies in the ISP’s equipment.
Landlines have gotten a lot less reliable in a lot of areas because the phone companies don’t want to maintain them. Mine would go out as soon as the power did when I cancelled it.
I’ve still got thousands of old TV shows recorded in xvid.
The watchable ones are recorded from the projection booth and have an audio cable connected to the camera.
They say it will be equivalent to moonlight. With such a small mirror, I doubt it will even be that bright.
The real issue will be a really bright satellite messing with astronomy. If they somehow manage to launch 50,000 of them, it will be huge problem.
MoCa adapters are a decent option if running new cable is difficult, but 10 gig adapters still aren’t available.
If you want 10 gig, run fiber, not CAT6. Twisted pair uses a lot of power. Fiber uses less than a watt per port and is future proof.
MTP is really buggy and unreliable. It doesn’t matter if it’s on Linux or windows. If you need to transfer a lot of data, I would suggest using the android debug bridge.
Hopefully we will see a lot less of it with the cost of AI going up. Eventually it will just be the big companies that can afford it.
Of course they are. That slop is unmaintainable.
Many laptops will still run fine without the battery plugged in. I prefer mini PCs though.
Stay away from anything Android unless you are going to run a google free ROM on it.
The rest of the world will have access to cheap Chinese RAM, so the AI companies investment will still be devalued.
What, is that like the cost of a dozen of their ink cartridges? That fine needs a lot more zeros.
Have you tried using a different SATA cable. I had one go bad and the drive started throwing all kinds of errors.
Firefox works fine unless I’m on a really bad internet connection.
Yt-dlp is still working fine your youtube downloads. It usually downloads at high speed. Downloading a lot of videos can result in throttling or a temporary IP ban though.
I haven’t had any issues with Nexusmods other than it taking forever to download a multi GB file. The files download intact without a download manager.
You can cast your own bullets and make your own gunpowder. Making bullets hard to buy won’t stop criminals that use ghost guns.
RAID isn’t an alternative to a backup. If a second drive fails while rebuilding the RAID-5 array, all of the data will be lost.
Mint does come with a lot of preinstalled software, but I wouldn’t consider it bloated. It’s stuff that most people will use. The MATE and Xfce versions are fairly light.
With Linux, you can get 15+ years out of a PC if you got decent hardware.
It still shows up because the windows boot partition is still there.
If you’re using grub, you can add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub and run update-grub. That will remove other operating systems from the grub boot menu.
That’s not going to hit anything at 2000 feet. Everyone needs anti aircraft cannons now.
