If you drain the UPS past 50% it really kills the life of the batteries.

In the Enterprise you probably have generator backup. So the UPS only need to keep things running for 30 second to a minute. So that never happens.

I will!! Right after I look up the key command that does that.

Back in the day a Payphone if you can find one.

Now I am not sure if their is a way anymore.

It could store the mouse movements to compare later.

Dimmer switch limits the power. The light doesn’t like that.

This is what I was thinking of. Unfortunately the Police were not very little help most of the time. During their saga, they basically had to become their own lawyers and collect a pile of evidence to make anything happen.

Hey now…

Ok fair enough

I disagree on that one. Ad blocking and tracking blocking will be more private.

Software is not political, it’s just code executing on a machine and doesn’t care what you believe.

You can’t convince me printer software/drivers/firmware doesn’t have an agenda. They work for every single test page any time or any where but you need to print something important they will riot.

Maybe I have just had back luck but syncing my files across all of my devices has always burned me at some point. No matter what software I have used I have overwritten something by accident or I try and delete something and it doesnt get deleted on all device. Or get a bunch of conflicting files and now i need to figure out what file I want etc…

I do use some syncing but it is mostly between only two devices. Often times it is only a 1 way sync. For example photos on my phone get synced to my NAS automatically.

For me keeping all of my files in one place is the way to go. I just have everything on a NAS. (TrueNAS) All of my devices connect to that and i just edit them directly over the network.

I have a VPN for remote access.

And nothing else, not that i had much else in the car, but i had a dashcam and like a medical kit they didn’t touch. Super weird.

Someone stole my car’s owner manual.

Person of Interest.

The Internet.

That has been a thing forever. I doubt it will ever go away.

Is it just me or did the Costco socks used to last way longer?

Magic of course.

I think it is more about the power required to run the lock motor.

I have several z-wave door locks as well. They all need battery replacement within a few months. Unless I don’t open/close them very often. They can go much longer.

But it really isn’t to big of a deal. Home Assistant tells me when they are getting low and I just swap the batteries in a few minutes.

I have the same lock. I didn’t want it but it was the only lock I could find that would work on my sliding door. The key is to buy rechargeable batteries. Mine last maybe a month before they need to be replaced.
