processor irrelevant

I knew this day would come! blows the dust off my gateway machine with a P4 @ 1.6GHz Look, it’s even got a fdd, perfect for backup duty! If I could only find that Zip drive though…

It can do 2 sticks of 2gb, though it’s not 64bit capable

When I switched my family from predatory directv, this was obviously a question I had, and I ended up going with chromecasts (gen 2 and 3/ultra). Once I showed them how to use their phone as the controller, it immediately clicked, which was fantastic. I thought about an atv or an android box, but that would involve multiple profiles and remembering to switch when someone else wanted to use it (android TV boxes have this buried in the system settings; and I’m the only one with an apple account). Ads were a showstopper for me too, so the pictures/art on the cc when idle was great.

Curious why you went the other way :o

But as a person who doesn’t use G services (well, Grayjay)… the question still stands

I mean I’d rather have a mini qwerty keyboard included for this purposes, but companies won’t spend any money they don’t have to, so I figure T9 is a happy medium. For when you just need to type a few characters to get to what you want.

I stand behind the idea that I need an app in place of an input method “fucking stupid”, regardless though.

There’s no obvious buttons on the remote, so I had no idea it was an option.

It’s almost like I said I’ve never used one, how mind-blowing. Your deduction skills are truly unmatched.

I went looking at the product page and saw no button for voice in any of their images. I guess you have to hold something for a few seconds, but as a new user, I’d never know it was there.

Also, plex and a few others offer the options to type, scan a qr code, or visit a url and sign in to validate the user. I guess if you’re stuck with typing as your only option, fine, use the app. Still not what I’d call a good user experience.

To the contrary, I own two older Macs and like some of their software/services enough to pay for it as a subscription; I’m not the one making bold assumptions here, at least not without saying I’m not fully aware. You, on the other hand…

That’s cool, really, and they should promote that feature.

But as I’ve stated elsewhere in this thread, no I didn’t, and said as much - just looking at the product images, as any typical potential customer would. But you’d know that if you read the comments, so…

Exploding toilet at a Dunkin’ store in Florida left a customer filthy and injured, lawsuit claims (apnews.com)

After the explosion left Kerouac covered in human feces, urine and debris, he walked out of the men’s room seeking help from workers and the store’s manager, according to the lawsuit. An employee told him that they were aware of the “problem with the toilet” since there had been previous incidents, the lawsuit says,...

    Alright, who has the time machine?

    I'm looking for a privacy respecting vacuum robot

    I’m looking for a vacuum robot preferably under 500€ and with a cleaning station. My main concern is that most robot vacuum providers seem to need to be connected to the internet. Are there any providers that either don’t need that, where I can block the internet connection or any other way not getting a spy in my home?...

    Ha, you mentioned my use case: disability. I got my first robot as a ‘this is cool’ curiosity, and to try and take a bit of the burden of running a household + working + supporting two disabled adult children off my folks. It gives me a small manageable task (maintain the robot) and gives them ~90 minutes of their time back to work on other things like budgeting or meal prep, or relax for a bit after coming home from work.

    7 years later (and 6 robot models; run awayyyyy from irobot or shark models!), and they’ve only had to pull out the manual vacuum twice. Though I prioritize cleaning ability over privacy concerns, seeing as if they have to vacuum regularly, the robot has no value to me.

    Does Dell… not offer a way to update the bios via flash drive or network? The fuck? Every board I’ve ever owned had the option to at least flash from USB.
