If you can, flash open sores firmware on everything and use Home assistant soyware to manage it. That makes it somewhat bearable to use. Or so I've heard.Doughnut Lollipop 【記録係】:blobfoxgooglymlem: and pistolero like this. -

@dsm @tk I am pleased if RF->text occurs, it is a really nice feeling. Only radio gear I have at present is RTLSDR and terrible antenna, plus the Baofeng gift. Another Linux Walt Alt likes this. -

@tk @dsm @p I would add to that: If it requires Docker or a VM, I likely won't bother hosting it.
And same as Pete, I fuck only with my own stuff, or things I can be easily responsible for. Mostly because I'm already family tech support and I don't want more of it. It sucks.Doughnut Lollipop 【記録係】:blobfoxgooglymlem: and pistolero like this. -

@ins0mniak @dsm @tk I don't know what's on those; I imagine that the chips just have, like, a service and an ID number, because they want you to pay a monthly bill, and if you could just put your name/info on the RFID chip then there'd be no reason to pay the bill. -

@tk @dsm @phnt It is more a matter of who gets the tech support calls in this case; I don't want the thing to exist and won't touch it. Given that it exists, if I do touch it, I get the phone call when it doesn't work. Phantasm likes this. -

@p @tk @dsm I don't pay a monthly bill at all. Just registered it.
Mine has an identification number that the vet or the pound can look up if she gets lost and they need to contact me.
She ain't going outside regardless tho.pistolero likes this. -

Two things insulate me from this:
1. I genuinely don't know how to fix your printer. I have not used Windows on a regular basis since Windows 98 and my knowledge of Windows stops at XP.
2. All of my terrible feddy verse posts are things I say out loud and nobody wants to hear my "SAN FRANCISCO DATA CARTEL MARK OF THE BEAST I TOLD YOU NOT TO PURCHASE ONE OF THESE AND MY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS TO SET IT ON FIRE AND GET SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T FEED THE BEAST DO YOU REALLY WANT ME TO FIX YOUR SMART TV FOR YOU BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I WILL DO I WILL SET IT ON FIRE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE" speech again. -

@p @tk @dsm I'm almost the same in this regard, except that I lack the ability to say no to a family member whose computer is mysteriously broken, because somehow I enjoy the mystery solving (mild case of masochism) and that I posses knowledge about Windows some might call arcane and/or dangerous. pistolero likes this. -

@hakui @tk @dsm @p I have an older relative that used XP well into 2019 on a Pentium 4 box. Now they are running Mint on a new box, because the time it would take for them to learn how to use Win10 would be the same as learning Mint. So far it only broke twice for the typical Ubuntu reasons (kernel updates). pistolero likes this. -
