And the whole point of downgrading the thermostat was so it can still be used as a smart thermostat... you know, the reason users paid for it in the first place.
Turning off the Wi-Fi defeats the purpose and this suggestion is intentionally dense.
They will literally *pay you* to use their browser.
It's extremely funny right at the moment, as Slashdot's sidebar that shows historical stories showed one from
It would be amusing if Microsoft wasn't doing so much infuriating crap with Windows.
Slashdot. Slashdot never changes.
Coming back from a 3-day weekend working in IT..... YES.
Yes, although you have to tell it you don't want an iCloud account. But it doesn't bug you again.
You're going to have to make it more unattractive - releasing toxic compounds doesn't bother most people who still stan for fossil fuels.
There are people out there who use an iPad (or a Galaxy S Ultra Tab) as a daily driver. As few as you might think, but they do exist.
I like having an iPad Pro for those times when I use it, but I use my laptop for 95% of my computing. It's a nice-to-have, and I really only have one because my work allows me the opportunity.
Come back zinc!! Come baaaaack!!!
Apple Silicon machines (our district has hundreds of them deployed) are great because they *do* have pretty good uptime. But they develop weird quirks that a reboot does cure. 9/10 times if a teacher says something is acting up that isn't a crash or file corruption, and it's something I've never heard of, a reboot fixes it.
He's saying that slightly larger NiMH 2500mah batteries do not fit, not that regular AA batteries don't fit.
Likewise. My M1 Pro 16" is the best computer I've ever used. It has it's quirks, but for something basically representing the best of the first generation of M1-based desktop computing... it's pretty stellar. As long as you're not trying to game on it.
Also, fuck Parallels hard. Used it for awhile but I'd rather be able to buy it outright. Tired of subscription-based bullshit. VMWare Fusion works well enough, not nearly as fast, but it's not nearly as annoying.
Ran into this last night, trying to download Chrome on an (admittedly waaaayyy too) old machine that was already chugging. Every time I tried to go to the Chrome download site in Edge it'd time out, so I tried using IE - it would go to the download site, complain that it was too old, and then auto-close IE and try to open Edge again. Literally all I wanted to do was download the executable.
Probably should just look into another alternative (or just run 7) on something that old, but yeah, it doesn't help when Microsoft won't even let you do what you're trying to do and throws you down a path you're trying to avoid because it causes an even bigger performance bottleneck.
Man, India must be way behind if they're not only still using NetZero, but having to use gas-powered modems as well!
>Using my pattern-matching eyes and lots of caffeine, I have analyzed more than 100,000 papers since 2014 and found apparent image duplication in 4,800 and similar evidence of error, cheating or other ethical problems in an additional 1,700. I've reported 2,500 of these to their journals' editors and — after learning the hard way that journals often do not respond to these cases — posted many of those papers along with 3,500 more to PubPeer, a website where scientific literature is discussed in public....

>The flimsy part, which is the actual male part with is in the open, whereas it's hidden inside a receptacle for USB-C.
I'd much rather have to replace a "flimsy" Lightning cord that got broken, than a USB-C connector or an entire phone because it broke. That's what's nice about Lightning is that the connector doesn't have the terminals on a protrusion that can break.
We can defeat gravity. The problem is the paperwork involved.
