I don’t need help finding a job, but I do need some advice. I have a structured settlement and I need cash now. What should I do?

Can you imagine being that elderly while trying to hold yourself up, talk, and keep your bowel movement inside?

Here is what I do: Host your friends at your place for sports, grilling, video games, playing touch football or soccer in your backyard, etc. Much better activities, make memories, and a lot cheaper, more intimate, and better for everyone’s relationship.

I enjoy Vivaldi and Ungoogled Chromium when things don’t work in Gecko engine.

I primarily use LibreWolf. Mullvad for scenarios when I need privacy, and Tor + VPN when I need maximum privacy and anonymity.

When I played I just spoiled the data. I found out that you can just hold a white piece of paper in front of the camera and bounce your phone lightly up and down to simulate movement (since they want you to walk around the real world location you’re photographing). Other persons I played with just photographed their shoes, so Niantic only had useless photos.

I’d guess the majority of players properly adhered to guidelines when doing AR field research. A small minority probably uploaded useless data.

When the final test for the real download button has a Fast Download and Slow Download option.

“When the punishment for the crime is less than the profits made committing the crime, that is legal immunity. It’s a very, very loud signal in a system of democracy that says, ‘Do it again, only this time, leverage more!’“ - Andreas Antonopoulos

Just a heads up that the Smart virus is spreading to monitors, too. In a few years most monitors will be Smart.

I agree with the meme because damn I can’t wait to leave wherever I’m at and go home

But on a more serious level, why should you be leaving so quickly? It’s bad for the car to start it and then immediately take off.

If your gas engine car has been parked for a long time and has cooled from operating temps, you need to give it time to warm up first. Start the car and let it run for a minute. This allows time for fluids to cycle through your engine and radiator. Then you can drive, but don’t drive hard until your oil temp and coolant temp gauges rise to normal operating levels. Treat it like a workout for your body; you don’t go outside and then immediately begin sprinting. You want to start slow to warm up your muscles first.

Note: some modern cars indicate in the owner’s manual you can drive after 10 seconds from starting your car. You can listen to the manual since the engineers built your car and know it best. However, giving it sufficient time for fluids to flow through is always best. I always wait about a minute to play it safest.

But let’s just send our food over to them. Surely it will trickle down this time!

Nein!

I picked up a 2025 P14s Gen 6. Wanted Ethernet and the ability to easily swap both RAM sticks in the future. Apart from the soldered WiFi chip, this computer is by far one of the most modern and repairable ones I’ve seen. Perfectly runs Fedora KDE, too.

T series are also fantastic, but at the time it wasn’t as repairable given one RAM stick was soldered and the other was replaceable. Also because of the form factor it didn’t have Ethernet.

Can’t go wrong with a P series if your needs are similar to mine in a computer for long-term use.

Edit: Forgot to add that while my P14s Gen 6 is great, the biggest complaint is the soldered USB C ports for power delivery. That’s a huge point of failure. I mitigate the weak point by using a magnetic USB C cable. It’s nice to see the the new T series has modular USB C / thunderbolt ports and remediates the weak point that was a common complaint for users.

You have to be really, really fast. But it can be done. I find that if you can accurately speak in dial up tones to your phone, you should be able to snap a photo while you’re communicating with it.

backup your NAS to a cloud like backblaze.

Are you encrypting your data before it goes to Backblaze? And if so, are you also testing those encrypted backups?
