I use a Moto Edge+ (2022) phone that has a feature that allows you to use it as a RDP-like session in Windows. It's called "Ready for PC" and works like any other RDP type session. Copy/paste works, and you can drag & drop files to the desktop.

You can also pair the phone to a display (USB-C or USB-C-to-HDMI). With a BT keyboard and mouse, it works like a desktop. You can also use the phone screen as as a trackpad. I beleive this is pretty similar to DeX as you describe.

Additionally, it'll connect via BT to a Smart TV to be used as well.

There's a couple more modes such as mirroring the Android display, or keeping it to a particular app. You can also use the phone as a Webcam under Windows, but it's a bit laggy.

I was about to post this. Stupid requirement. Bigscreen needs to take the time and money to develop an Android or PC webcam solution.

Indeed, I did have a bit of a flippant tone. This was not intentional.

I help support my spouse and without my major contribution (almost 4x theirs) to our income pool (where they can only find part-time work), we'd be much worse off. So in some regards I am earning close to this rate as I help pay not for just myself, but my partner too (I have multiple pets but no kids, thank god). If that give you some idea of how much I make and they make.

To be clear, I am still paid hourly. I am not a developer either, so that kinda goes to my point (but I do work in IT). My company doesn't want us to go over 40 hours though, so if I reach it mid-day Friday, I leave early.

If it wasn't for paying _well below the average_ in the area we live at for rent, we'd have some struggle as we have high utility rates, car payments, insurance, 401k, medical bills, entertainment/social lives, etc, etc that everyone needs to balance and still avoid major anxiety over something ruining the routine financially. Inflation is the dark cloud over every horizon at the moment. I can't finance a home like I wanted to. I'll have to hold off a little longer.

The idea is that it's absurd that the Govt. has not increased this scale with CoL/inflation. To categorize someone exempt at such a low rate is a bit of a slap in the face.

EDIT: As for people much more educated, that's a similar but tangential argument. People who put in their time and money to be educated and become experts/pioneers in their field should be compensated appropriately. This is another societal failure that needs attention.

$27.63 is such an absurdly low amount that it wouldn't even be considered a livable wage in some major metros.

I've been using it for the last two weeks and I've been pretty happy with it. One thing I wish it had is to display possibly some information regarding the connection. I usually use icanhazip to verify my IP is different from my local net. I think displaying what exclusions and such are active during an active connection would be good too.

Typing on phone, so please excuse the slightly abrupt tone.

Let me tell you, Apple's iCloud policies are STUPID. Once upon a time you could sign up to an account WITHOUT verifying your email. Someone signed up under my Gmail account, and it's been stuck there since.

As the author found, support is useless . It took me close to 2 weeks after emailing Tim Cook about the situation, since I was seriously considering an iPhone. Executive liason had it reset for me.

I was able to change the password, login, and the VERY next day the password was changed (presumably from whomever is using it on THIER phone). I've given up. My time is not worth chasing this down.

I may eventually just start harassing the douchebag who thinks they have my email address, but there are like 3 or 4 people whom i get email for. AFAICT every single one is a boomer.

For point #2, it's not exactly established, but we can probably be accurate to say the early church chose this day to convert followers of pagan traditions regarding the Winter Solstice. Whether it's Yule, Saturnalia, Natatlis Invicti, etc. It's easier to say one god is born around the same time as another and you can push towards Christianity's ideas of a Son/Father/Spirit deity.

For point #3, heck, most Western Christians for the most part unknowingly incorporate a hell of a lot of Yule traditions. Christmas Trees, wreaths, the Yule log, Mistletoe.. you get the idea.

My tips:

1) Fuck grep, use ripgrep, especially if you have to scour over an entire directory.

2) Get good with regex, seriously, it will shave hours off your searching.

3) For whatever application you are using, get to know how the logging is created. Find the methods used where said logs are made, and understand why such a log line exists.

4) Get good with piping into awk if needed if you need some nice readable output.

Milspec, lol. Doesn't that normally equal as cheap as they can get away with?

There is a high-density thread sealing PTFE tape that works a bit better than the el' cheapo generic white stuff (although it's usually white too). Anything marked as such should be sufficient unless you are working on an oil rig or nuclear reactor.

EDIT: Unless the package has MIL-T-27730 on the tape, labeling it milspec has no meaning.

This sounds like a very inefficient method. The Python stdlib module 'collections' includes a Counter class which can do this for you. Then all you need to do is copy the dict key/item pair to a new one that match your word list.

Oh yeah, Plastikman's Sheet One was an amazing example of minimal Acid. _Glob_ still feels fresh today. Everything you mention I probably have a copy floating around somewhere. Bunch of Orb, Orbital, Future Sound of London, etc.

This is one of my top 10 albums. "Tha" is one of my favorites.

Also of note, Selected Ambient Works Volume II. I used to mix ambient tapes from a variety of sources in the mid-90s, and this was always features somewhere. One good mix was Autechre's _VLetrmx21_ over Aphex's _Blur_. None of it is in sync, some of it's dissonant, but it works.

I miss 90s Ambient and IDM. Em:t label of was a top one. There was a sound to all of it, and it probably had to do with 99% being produced with outboard gear straight to tape. Everything now seems to be so over-produced and "perfect".

Indeed. Regretfully I would like to use this with the software I help support, which only runs under the major 2 players (VMware / Hyper-V).

Mainly for homelab use to complement work environment.

The Jasper chip should be able to be used with hypervisors as it has VT-x and VT-d. Wish they listed the chipset for the Ethernet however, as VMware 7.x/8.x only supports a limited number (unlike 6.x which allowed community drivers). You might be able to host a handful of small low IO/CPU VMs on this.

EDIT: Found the block diagram and these are Realtek RTL8125B. Not compatible with ESXi 7/8.. can use under 6.7 but I believe that's out of support now :/

Add a AMD Ryzen option also please.

Good for scratching, not so much for listening. "Real" vinyl is going to be pressed.

The etching comes first on the master platter using a lacquer on an aluminum disc. Then that master is electroplated. Then that copy is electroplated (several times depending on production) too to make the pressing disk. Basically a mold of a mold to get the grooves.

Wow, that's a good looking brochure. I always loved that style of illustration.

Ha, I knew this would come out sooner or later based on my own experiments with Stable Diffusion. It does very well with textures.

Yeah, you bring up a good point. Morels are usually found around elms and ash trees that are quite dead and shedding bark. I have had good success when finding a dead standing tree or one that fell and has been rotting a season or two.

I also hunt chicken-of-the-woods and dryad saddles which honestly are much easier to find and are, at least in my opinion, easier to cook and use. Dryad saddles are very nice as they have a fresh cucumber like taste. Need to get them 'young' when they are still spongy and not woody.

It would be helpful in Argentina... sorry.. couldn't help it.

Neat. Glad this is being used. Ukraine is going to have this issue for a long time.

For peacetime usage, how about one that does Morel mushrooms? Those things are impossible to find until you see the first one or two in the season and remember how they blend in.

Being able to convert back to a 1:1 format of the original source.

This can be a contentious area as a lot of different sources will throw different figures for the noise floor of a CD. I recall anywhere from -98 to -130dB. Either value, at the minimum level, is something like 4.6dB. Which is completely inaudible in normal listening conditions.

Can you add bit and byte values, as well as units per unit of time please?

Base 10 (GB for example) and base 2 (GiB) would be very handy. Full words as an alias as well, so GB -> gigabyte, and GiB -> gibibyte.

That way you can do something like:

1GB / 40MB/s in minutes

1GB to Gib

1GB to bits

50 bits to bytes

I was going to suggest this. I heard this cover before the original, somehow. I prefer this version honestly.

Very cool! I'll check these out!

Sorry to drag an old thread up, I just saw your reply.

This was testing against the old version (1.4) a while ago. I retested using the new version and have 0 errors.

However, that said, I also upgraded my ethernet switch since then, so possibly the original TLS errors were due to simple dropped packets.

finishing george = diminishing returns.. stupid mobile.

I bet. But for hobbiest applications, which is better? Wondom/Sure provides a wealth of application info. Most people aren't building something to power Hi-fi systems, but more to just be loud or portable. Low THD is good but it's a matter of finishing George. As someone over 40, I doubt i could tell the difference from .1% THD and 1-5% honestly.
