Until they start to force you to connect to “finish” setup. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.

For now my new LG turns on directly to my external device and isn’t connected to the Internet. I did have to change a setting to turn on to the last input used instead of the useless home screen.

There’s always money in the milk stand (wink wink)!

For a minute I thought the kid was pooping in the top of the cat tree.

We do too. Now it’s catered with delicious smoked meats and kegs of beer instead of frozen pizza and mountain dew.

A good case for a charge back.

Not that I’m aware of, but I’m not as knowledgeable as someone else. I’m hoping some quick research or someone better can help. If I remember I can look later on this evening, but can’t at the moment.

Someone more knowledge than me can correct me, but I’m pretty sure you could buy a newer bigger drive to replace an older drive. You obviously wouldn’t get the full capacity as it would be limited by the other older slower drives. However, you would get a, theoretically, more reliable drive than a random one on eBay. Then as you replace older drives eventually you could have increased size.

Caveat is that it will put stress on the old drive to rebuild, however you’d get that with any drive you put in. General wisdom I saw says to replace all the drives. Although that can be expensive.

I’m any case make sure you have a backup before you do any of the changes.

A little off topic, but on first glance I thought that website was called fart caller.

On topic, I’ve never Heard of this service. I still haven’t setup anything like this. Might give it a try.

I can’t updoot you enough. I hate that so much too.

Seems they want to force you to use their “Car Thing” voice assistant. Probably to listen into your conversations…

I’ve used freetaxusa the last couple of years. If the IRS one isn’t available, then I’d recommend them.

Hopefully someone smarter than me can help. You can always do what I do, and just blow up the install and start fresh. 😂

Darn.

I suppose you could also try using the lsof command to see if it shows anything different?

This may sound silly, but have you tried restarting? I feel like that worked for me when I had a similar issue in the past. Something was holding onto the port, but it wasn’t showing up anywhere. Restart got it to let go and it worked afterwards.

Lots of good suggestions. I’ve also used memos, but wasn’t a huge fan of how the notes were organized. Solid app and definitely worth a look.

Edit: I’m holding out hope for when notesnook goes self-hosted.

Edit 2: after looking at my older instance I see they save the notes in a database and is not relevant to your question.

I like how audiobookshelf works and syncs, but their android app needs auto play/queue like the web version has. I’ve been listening to “Robot or Not” and episodes are like 2-8 minutes. Gets real annoying to keep needing to select the next episode. Especially while driving as it’s unsafe. The android auto syncing isn’t great either.

AntennaPod is nicer in that way, but I haven’t found a good web player that syncs with it.

While not AI. That’s my goal with my home automation. To augment my life to make certain things easier and/or more efficient.

I have a feeling they’ll make it difficult to use. Then when people do it accidentally because of they’re shitty UI, they’ll point to that and say, “see?!”
