Also you need to pay (18k/year iirc) in addition to that as well. Next to the fact that matter itself is quite convoluted from an implementation standpoint.

It’s really not made with things like startups or niche products in mind. It’s really a standard by and for the big companies

Except that these pagers were distributed to more than just hezbollah. AUB (American university of Beirut) medical workers had them too, for example.

Also fire departments, hospitals and other medical services. They’re extremely reliable, last a very long time on a charge and don’t shatter when you accidentally drop it.

Even if you need Id/scanner. If the check is at the elevator on the ground floor it may often as well not exist.

I have a cousin that works at a petrochem plant. He told me that all the “common trips” never really happen since they’ve been drilled on how and what to do and how to prevent them, but the second shit really does go down you better have a senior around that has seen that specific trip before. Especially considering there’s tens/hundreds of thousands worth of produce being burned off by the second until things are back under control.

Switzerland has always been the go to holiday destination for my grandparents, parents and now me. The difference in pictures (and memories) between the generations is terrifying

Walk in, press on button, hang up jacket and get stuff out of bag, type in password, grab coffee.

That’s a pretty common morning pattern I see.

The amount of reference material it has is also a big influence. I’ve had to pick up PLC programming a while ago (codesys/structured text, which is kinda based on pascal). While chatgpt understands the syntax it has absolutely no clue about libraries and platform limitations so it keeps hallucinating those based on popular ones in other languages.

Still a great tool to have it fill out things like I/O mappings and the sorts. Just need to give it some examples to work with first.

Playtests typically involves a full on NDA for this reason. If your playtest is aimed at creators that are allowed to stream it’s not a playtest, it’s a marketing exercise.

Oh I switched jobs, so not switch as in migrate.

The industry I work in now is very conservative, so Microsoft is a brand people know and “trust”. Amazon is scary and new.

As someone who recently switched from AWS to Azure I feel your pain.

Best part is when you finally have a working solution, Microsoft sends you an email that it’s being deprecated.

If it’s only you (or your household) that is accessing the services then something like hosting a tailscale VPN is a relatively user friendly and safe way to set-up remote access.

If not, then you’d probably want to either use the aforementioned Cloudflare tunnels, or set up a reverse proxy container (nginx proxy manager is quite nice for this as it also handles certs and stuff for you). Then port forward ports 80 and 443 to the server (or container if you give it a separate IP). This can be done in your router.

In terms of domain set-up. I’ve always found subdomains (homeassistant.domain.com) to be way less of a hassle compared to directories (domain.com/homeassistant) since the latter may need additional config on the application end.

Get a cheap domain at like Cloudflare and use CNAME records that point domain.com and *.domain.com to your dyndns host. Iirc there’s also some routers/containers that can do ddns with Cloudflare directly, so that might be worth a quick check too.

That hit my timeline the other day. The amount of work that has been put into that video must have been insane.

Kinda the same thing as winrar. They rather have consumers get used to it so the companies they work at have a higher chance of buying licenses. That’s where the real money is.

Didn’t some company have a script running that would randomly kill stuff to always test redundancies?

I vaguely recall someone telling me that about netflix

Edit: https://github.com/Netflix/chaosmonkey

There’s a couple SD-WAN solutions out there that you can do this with. Essentially route all your traffic through one or more VPSes while still keeping things like port forwards and STUN working properly.

I’ve had to use it to enable proper video feeds to and from people that had Spectrum as their ISP.

HEVC actually requires a $1 license you can get from the ms store. It’s a royalty thing. OEMs often ship PCs with that license already enabled.

There are more applications than just windows Media Player that won’t play hevc files/streams without that license installed.

VLC doesn’t really seem to care about those things though and it’s better than the default anyways.

PentA game

It does exist, its called 801.11ah or wifi HaLow

That standard is mainly designed for things like IOT and wireless security cameras, but nothing stops you from getting an HaLow access point and network adapter.

I have a 4gbit line, and while I usually use Usenet to download a lot of torrents still easily reach 2-3gbit up/down.
