Have you solved the issues Syncthing has with Android? Seems Android v9 and later networking blocks the LAN access for finding local relays. Even manually configuring relay IPs in Syncthing doesn’t resolve the issue.

Wish I could upvote more than once.

Well put.

My solution.

Their search results have been shit for about 10 years.

It’s not broken, for google. It does exactly what they want, which is to help them gather data and manipulate people.

At work, we discussed this as a future issue in about 2000, when we saw it gaining major search share.

Big chats are kinda a scam anyway, they should be forums lol

That’s the quote of the day right there.

Yea, paypal is bad news all around

I guess most people don’t know most banks have electronic funds transfer, or virtual credit cards, etc.

To get your…battery replaced, and they want to charge you for a new engine.

You buy as much space as you’ll need in the next few years and make a plan for proper duplication/backup, such as 3-2-1 Backups.

Right? It’s a frigging battery.

Surely we can get a group of battery techs and mechanical engineers together to come up with a solution.

Hell, I’ve been bastardizing the “wrong” batteries into devices since the mid-70’s, while today I’m usually replacing crappy built-in batteries with 18650’s. And I’m no EE, just have a little skill and vision.

Surely the battery spec on this is pretty clear, and it’s an off-the-shelf tech (not some odd chemistry devised by the company). Not that it really matters - a replacement merely needs to fit in the space, and match voltage and current requirements.

Your family isn’t dumber than average.

Uu tech folks tend to forget/overlook that most people are clueless as to how mobile devices work. I have IT friends who know practically nothing about the Android file system, or how apps store (but don’t sync) data, for example. And these are people designing/implementing/supporting complex systems.

Most people can’t be bothered if there’s more than one or two steps. I can’t walk my “70 year old uncle” through configuring an app on his phone, over the phone. The stuff he says he sees make no sense at all. I’m like “no, that’s not what you should see, what did you click on”?.

Oh, access to everything will happen.

The owners will just charge us for every viewing of every episode.

Yep.

I rip them, then store the discs in a cool, dark, dry place.

Everything I rip is backed up. It’s pretty clear what’s happening.

And in 20 years they’ll start “selling” everything by the episode online.

Laser is your long term answer. Brother seems to be the brand today.

Lol, so true!

Also, don’t buy inkjet.

My first inkjet was an HP bubblejet, about 1994. My last was some garbage about 2000. Since then I’ve refused to own one.

My 1997 laserjet (that I bought used in 2008) just died. I bougt a color laser on Craigslist for $50. And my current BW laser is a 2014 HP, that just got it’s second cartridge.

You can’t give me an inkjet.

I would never allow non-corp equipment to connect to our network.

Depends on who your dear is 😁

Is helium used in deodorants these days?

It’s surprising an experienced deep sea explorer would go along on something like this.

When I first read about it, it took me less than 5 minutes to discover many, many reasons it was a bad idea.
