I have been using TeamViewer for this specific case, helping out (usually older) people with their computer issues.

I have struggled with this very same problem, and finally using some short url for downloads. Helps a little bit.

But one funny story related to this: I was helping one gentleman and i told him on the phone that he should go to "www dot teamviewer dot com" . He had not used that before and his English skills were non-existent.

He had trouble finding Download -button from the site and that time Teamviewer.com had young female model stock photo there. I asked him - to confirm that he is on the right website - like "Do you see there that brown haired cute girl?". He answered: "Yes, and few blondes.".

I asked him to read address line for me and it was "teenviewer.com".

After few corrections to the url we finally got Teamviewer installed.

I have learned here at HN names for lots of effects / phenomena. And started to notice these on my daily life.

What you described here is greatly related to The Gell-Mann Amnesia.

> the clunky slowness of the printer

I understand what you mean, but e.g. Toshiba TCx thermal receipt printer (6145-1TN) prints 406mm/sec (125 lps at 8lpi). I think that is very very fast.

I agree completely.

Should be noted that developer has already removed malware right after feedback.

New version has been released.

Yep, Spotty is working for me flawlessly.

Funny and nice feature is that I can play different tracks on different squeezeboxes via one Spotify account.

Running server on Ubuntu 20.04.

Squeezebox (Logitech Media Server) with material-ui plugin is something which happens to work quite well. Family members are happy as well.

Syncs perfectly on multiroom setup, supports Spotify, works with Home Assistant and has at least enough device choices for playback.

At least in Europe it is forbidden to sell BPA/BPB thermal rolls. IIRC law came to effect about a year ago.

..or a Finn. Almost every household in Finland has own sauna.

Frigate is just wonderful.

Coupled with Coral TPU it manages to perform pretty well on Raspi4.

There was. Project Astoria by Microsoft which was abandoded few years ago.

That was rather promising, but IIRC it got to some legal problems.

I was in beta (or alpha, do not remember) test group.

Something between 2 to 7 days, see https://watchy.sqfmi.com/docs/battery-life

That was my solution as well. I have required smoke detectors connected to powerline 1 per 60m2 or so and then have multiple Heiman zigbee detectors, connected to Home Assistant.

As SSCC is managed by GS1 and their standard for SSCC does not include sizes the quote probably is at least inaccurate.

You can buy prefix for your own SSCC codes and then you can form your own serial numbers - based on size or whatever parameter you want.

I currently have about 8 squeezeboxes around the house in three buildings (mostly wifi connected, few receivers, few radios, few touches and one boom).

Sync is one of the features which just work perfectly, beat-perfectly.

Of course when turning on one player it will pause the music for 3 to 5 seconds to catch up but then it just works.

I have used openkb for a while.

Its fast, lightweight and MIT licensed.

I have used "walking desk" setup now for about a year. Treadmill is kind of special walking treadmill, speed ranges from 1-5 km/h (0.5km/h steps). I normally walk about 5-6km per day while working. Mostly speed is 1 or 1.5km/h.

Only downside is that when having video meeting, my head is bouncing while walking. Usually leads the conversation on treadmill.

Check out Engenius, for example their EWS330AP is nicely priced well-performing locally managed bridge.

I have used that for multiple outdoor and indoor wifi bridge needs.

I have used TTGO ESP32 2.9" e-Paper. For my projects it contains all what I need.

I recommend you to check that out.

Actually, not _all_ are scams.

In Finland, last year, young man offered his hitman services on dark web and eventually murdered another. Trial started in the beginning of June 2020.

Of course, he was not a professional hitman and outcome very scam'ish.

Rocket.Chat. Works flawlessly for us with 100 or so users. Has been working for several years.

Forget the native app, just use material-ui plugin for web UI. Works quite well on mobile.

Spotify works well through Spotty plugin.

Rumours tell that next generation ReMarkable 2 is just around the corner, possible release in January.

This is partly untrue.

PM Marin has proposed this idea as "utopia" in August 2019. When she presented this vision, she was not yet PM.

Additionally, she proposed 6 hour work-day OR 4 work-day week, not AND.

It is kind of weird that here in Finland this was "nice idea, but probably problematic to implement" when this was on the news in August. And now it pops out in not-so-respected news media like this.

I dont know if I understood your need correctly, but I am using Dell D6000 usb-c dock with two displayport-connected monitors.

Dock works perfectly, cannot say the same on other Dell docks (TB15 and some other).

And just to add, "utopia" was the wording Marin herself used. Of course she supports the idea but I assume she does not see it as a realism in very near future.

Yes, the site made its way to my do-not-trust list as well.

No, she or her coalition has not demanded for a test run.

That "utopia" was introduced in August (four months before Marin became PM) as a proposal for the future.

Well, you could. I have it on 3D printed case, but have no need for mobility. Of course you would need battery and with small (1000mAh or so) battery it could run at least few days with one charge.
