Honestly, I would have assumed 1080p was an acceptable default assumption.
Is this just a case of older hardware, or are there still laptops that don't have 1080p panels at this point?
A quick review of stuff on BestBuy indicates that $150 laptops have 1080p displays now, and anything more than that does as well, so uh, what devices are still using these?
MBAs? Oh my goodness no.
It was a couple of venture capitalists!
Everything Whedon has ever done was mid, and I'm going to be banned for saying that, probably.
The lie was WORSE than that.
A lot of the fintechs invovled actually told people their money was safe, because it was subject to "passthrough FDIC insurance", because their money was ultimately put in an insured bank, and thus was safe.
Problem is that's not how it actually worked, so basically everyone was straight up lied to.
Basically the whole thing is that the bank keeps track of who owns which account and how much money they have, so if they go bust, you just have the FDIC come in and use that data and write checks, basically.
Except since they're disrupting banking, they also decided to just fucking not bother, and so even if there was going to be a payout, nobody has any fucking clue who has how much and in which bank said money was.
Absolute clusterfuck, and about what you'd expect from silly-con valley types.
Both!
The native automation is perfectly cromulent for what I want, usually, but there's a couple of cases where the integrations either don't exist or don't return meaningful data.
FOR EXAMPLE, the video playback in the living room thing. Sure, the roku integration says "something is playing" but it's shockingly wrong and unreliable. What happens is it falls into 'idle' status between videos, or if you're fast forwarding sometimes and thus the automation was not doing exactly what I wanted.
The Jellyfin API, though, can look at the living room tv user and is spot on as to what is going on with play/pause/stopped statuses, so I have node red yank that data direct from the API and it works great.
The equivalent of Intune for Linux would be... Intune.
Though you're still having to do a lot more work on the implementation side for it, and a lot of IT teams isn't going to want to deal with it for the two people that actually want Linux, out of the 10,000 employees they're otherwise managing.
big fan of mini PC’s
Same, but just be careful if you venture outside of the "reputable" vendors.
I bought one recently from Aliexpress, and while it's perfectly functional, it's using an ethernet chipset that doesn't have in-kernel drivers so I have to keep compiling new drivers for it every time the kernel upgrades.
Not the end of the world, but an annoyance that I could do without, and not something a slightly more expensive version of what I got would have.
I've gone way too far down the automation path.
All manner of temperature, humidity, occupancy, motion, and air quality sensors make all sorts of things do appropriate responses.
For example, I've got a mmwave motion/occupancy sensor in the bathroom, and if there's no motion/occupancy and the humidity is more than 5% higher than the hallway sensor, then turn on the exhaust fan until it's not.
Or, if the air particulate count in the kitchen is too high, turn on the exhaust fan until it's not.
Or, if the living room is occupied, and the tv is on and playing media, turn the overhead lights off and turn the RGB accent light on very dimly. And if the media is paused or stopped, increase the brightness of the RGB lighting so you can see where you're walking, and if it stays paused or stopped for more than 10 minutes, turn the main lights back to whatever state they were in before media playback started.
No dashboards though, since the goal is essentially that you don't have to think about what is going on, because it should Just Work(TM) and never be something you have to deal with.
...though, really, I'd say we're at like 80% successful with that.
For manual interactions I've got a bunch of NFC tags in various places that will trigger the appropriate automation in the case that you either want to do it by hand or it fails to do the needful, plus the app is configured to allow manual control of any device and to trigger specific automations.
Yeah, you have to have a meeting to discuss the merits of violating the prime directive BEFORE you violate it, duh.
ease up on the mo powah baby
But... but... more power better.
But the article seems to be about deadly accidents, and not just accidents.
You can hit an awful lot of things at a shocking rate of speed and walk away with modern car crash design, so I'd be inclined to think it's more than just the torque curve responsible for all the dead people.
Had to stop reading, as it pissed me off pretty quick-like.
The Mom is completely gone and some talk therapy isn't going to fix what's wrong here.
"Oh she never talked about it!"
"Oh Trump wouldn't do that!"
"Oh there's nobody coming for you!"
"Oh I didn't know that you were worried about this!"
Just low-informed plus gaslighting to justify doing what they wanted, regardless of who gets hurt.
