Project name vs Public name.

iOS on iPad Pro 12.9" here. My old Linux desktop died, have an old Windows laptop for iTunes mostly & have a low-power linux server with MythTV, but I am primarily using the iPad. Still trying to figure out what I want in a primary "Desktop" computer. Debating home built, Gaming Laptop or maybe a Steam Machine. Leaning against the Gaming Laptop. I think it my be a little while till then though.

Thanks +1

I think an optional website file, like the robots.txt file, that web browsers would read optionally could be useful. Add it to html5 spec. Those sites that choose to support can.

Again optionally. Better self monitoring than letting government get too involved.

If I need 4k on my phone, then I would need like 20k or higher for my laptop/desktop computers. If I can't tell there is a pixel on the phone, anything beyond that is a waste.

They did a recall this year, if you are talking about the Radeon gpu problem.

Yeah, I like being at the top of this list too.

I am currently using Flash 18 just fine on amd64 linux with the help of Pipelight which uses wine. Works much better and with more sites than 11.2 as well.

The windows 10 updates are opt out. There are 2 settings. Share over lan & share over you internet connection.

  Win10 has very bad defaults on a number of things. Reseting default apps without clearly showing that you can prevent it, many privacy settings, no parental controls without a MS account(i.e. requires internet to set up), forced updates & probably alot more. My thoughts on the updates it that they should have a setting to delay updates, say 1-14 days. I do think people should be updating, but knowledgable people should have the option to delay.

For myself, email is the social network for those that refuse to use Facebook.

I am on twitter, but that is more news aggregation than social media. At least for myself. I know one of my followers. I happen to follow them as well. less than 10 posts a year for them.

What we need is Solar Positioning System or SPS for short. With that we'd be able to track where those pictures were taken, as long as it is not outside the system.

I 2nd Openvpn. Though I don't think it is something you'd have to have on all the time. Set up the router at Loc. B with Openvpn so you can log in. Set up static DHCP addresses for all devices. You can then connect from A or work or wherever to check logs or allow/block a specific device. I'd use personally OpenWRT for the router's os. Set it up so that you son's devices are routed through a log of some sort before leaving to the outside.

I tried Inbox, but wasn't impressed. It strips so much of gmail away that it is basically "Gmail for beginners". You want filters, labels, etc, then it is worthless.

And I find most apps pointless. I generally end up using the actual mobile site more than most apps that said sites release.

I see a lot of people seemingly missing the bigger issues.

1. Savings over time with a new HVAC system
The HVAC system in place has obviously been in use for 30+ years. In that time a lot of efficiency in these systems has occurred. In 5 years the school district will probably recouped a significant portion of that in energy savings.

2. Just replacing parts may work, but doesn't change the fact that the whole HVAC system is 30+ years old.
You can't expect to just replace one boiler out of say 2 or 3 and expect the other(s) to last another 30 years till they consider doing the whole system.

3. Control system that it will be replaced with probably not much more powerful than a Raspberry Pi.
Most of the cost is probably the AC and heating units and LABOR. The control part are probably the least of the costs.

FWIW. It is really bad that we have to have the Governments of the world to tell manufacturers to improve their products efficiency. Mostly I think of autos, but there probably are alot of things (Energy Star?) that have improved because of the governments rather than bringing the best product to market in the first place.

Parents won't want to jump through those hoops either so their children can read the latest whatever. With an in app purchase they could just buy a iTunes card and the kid can get them on their own. No credit card required.
