You are blaming the customers for “thinking you deserve less pay” when the actual person not paying you enough is the bar owner. Sorry for kicking up yet another fruitless discussion about tipping in the US, but these kind of mental gymnastics just trigger me.

OliveTin looks interesting, thanks!

1 it is just an example

2 not what I asked but thanks for your input

Yeah, try to avoid using USB hard drives.

Can you elaborate for which use case you’d see them as less reliable than other options? I am using USB connected drives now for about 2 years in a home setup and haven’t had any bad experiences. My use case might be a lot more low tech and than others though.

If its for research paper storage and organising, why not something dedicated like Zotero? Or even Menedely, that’s more commercially oriented. You can pay for online storage space for either and it names and organises your papers for you. If she is concerned about TOS changes and AI enshittiffication I’d stay away from Menedley though, its an Elsevier product by now (massive scientific publisher).

Seconded, have been using it for a while and its simple and great!

Haha, wife bad!

I’d agree but you can expand this quite widely then. You think they don’t need their pictures anymore, in case you host something like Immich/Photoprism? If you host movies, series, games, they may not need them anymore but it would still be noticeable that they are not accessible anymore.

Not that I am saying you are wrong or what a good way of doing that would be. I don’t know myself.

Well, which one. There’s many now. And many of them had issues.

Not like that

Your buddy: I can… fix…her…

Narrator: he started smoking 2 days later.

That’s a weird take on this. Which person who loves travelling then proceeds to do absolutely nothing at the destination? I mean, maybe you met people like that, but I have never in my life talked to anyone like that.

She later said Telstra had contacted her and offered a free Fetch box, which she acknowledged was a “reasonable resolution”.

And we have learned exactly nothing here. See you in 2 years when Fetch closes down and you are not getting anything back because you actually did not “buy” those movies on Fetch but on the previous platform.

“piracy”

… Wait, no. Piracy is the answer!

Awesome! Also great its just one breaking change. I think I don’t use that variable, don’t recall it at all.

Honestly, 88 1TB drives would make me envious too.

Flat fee is good. If its subscription I am hoping for forks.

Edit: also, I don’t care what they say they plan to do. In the end actions matter. They can say now its just a small flat fee but 6 months in they can change their mind and make the crappiest micro transaction model they can think of.

This is it. Also given the low quality of the movies production wise you can even rip them at suboptimal settings. I am sure Mom won’t care if she watches her Christian propaganda at 4k or 720p with some visual artifacts.

At this time of the year?

You can use it as standalone app to track location at set intervals. But it also has a server app to synchronise to as well. Haven’t used it as such, I only record to a file, but maybe this works for your purpose.
