Just take out the wifi module. If you need wifi just use a USB adapter. That’s your kill switch.

I play a lot of flights and train rides. Tried the laptop life. No real comparison especially with the APUs being so strong these days.

I have a two button flashlight. One button to change settings and one to turn on and off. It has memory so it uses the last setting used that’s not strobe or the highest setting

Just use MAS

You’re already paying them with your data.

I enjoy a program called Alldup. It’s quite nice for my uses

Rip off the label and put it with your burn pile.

Or you could use a wallpaper scoring tool to shred it on the box.

So pirate FLAC? There are so many FLAC files out there.

YouTube is typically 128kbps AAC.

If you want to bitch about quality, learn what actual quality is.

At any rate, most downloaded Apple files are 256kbps AAC

I’m a big fan of Mikrotik with Unifi WiFi.

Mikrotik I have a RB5009 which is powerful enough for all of my needs.

Correct. You have to use their app. Tried using the web version but it said app only.

No the one in talking about is installed outside without a screen.

Looks like this.

You wouldn’t be able to pickup without a smartphone. If you are not home, you’ll get a little note in your mailbox and go to a partner package shop

Mine are Bluetooth enabled. You stand near it and hit the button

IEEE standard is 100m

I’ve h6ave very long runs before and they worked.

But you need solid copper wire for that to work. No stranded or CCA

I wanted a sound bar, and got some affordable ones.

Then I went into budget audiophile.

Got a cheap Sony receiver and 2 bookshelf speakers. Got the whole gig for $175 total. Beats any kind of sound bar.

Did a Sonos test in store and really could hear much difference despite being much cheaper and completely offline.

Now my wife is telling me to go Sonos because it looks better with her aesthetics.

Told her I’m not getting anything that requires an account software to run. Guess we’re going to stick with bookshelves for a while

If you’re okay being in the EU, I use Ionos. €1 a month with a IPv4 address and no contract.

On the US side, Oracle has a free tier for 2 arm CPUs. You could load balance between them, but they’re still kinda slow.

Either of these you can test for very low costs and see what you enjoy.

I’m using Outline. Is that safe? I’ve never tested it against a hostile nation though.

Oh boy, German internet prices would like a word.

All jokes aside, it’s gotten way better the past few years.

But I’m still paying for texts. Imagine that.

Mostly for PiHole.
