That’s some Total Recall shit there. Love it.

From Chinese parts

That’s what anti islanding is.

Prevents power from going into the grid when it’s down.

Way I read it is it puts surplus into the grid to keep you elec bills down.

800 watts isn’t exactly going to set an outlet on fire.

Good police need good tools to respond to anything that could happen.

Imagine a 9/11 variation with an armed group instead of planes.

That’s going to need a rapid and powerful police response. Armed forces are not an option with such short notice.

The real issue you should concern yourself with the the quality of the police themselves, not the tools they used.

I’ll back you any day on that front.

2 is fine.

I know where you’re coming from, I use a closed notebook with external display sometimes.

I might need to be more specific. If the notebook is used as a typical notebook, and one closes it with the intent of putting it to sleep, once sleep has been reached an external mouse should not wake it.

However if you do toggle the power settings to allow the machine to function with the lid closed and/or machine docked then you do want to mouse to wake it keep awake the machine.

Okay… then by that logic you’re ok with America’s defence forces being deployed against citizens?

I don’t think you understand the meaning of multi purpose.

This used to be so much easier back in win 95,98,xp days.

There was a startup folder in the start menu and all you needed to do was drag what you wanted into it.

This is an example of something that got harder.

Had this issue for years over 2 machines.

One had some shit in the background the prevented standby.

Other was so simple it pissed me off… … the damn mouse jostling around in the laptop bag was walking it up.

I’m still going to point the finger at windows because 1) there should be a better tool for identifying what is keeping a system awake and 2) should be default for a mouse to not wake a portable machine who’s lid is shut.

The most simple answer.

Ads or commercials are typically an interruption to the content I was wishing to watch.

Your post misses the entire point.

While us nerds can work out problems and use a terminal, it doesn’t mean we’re happy to spend our time trouble shooting instead of actually getting shit done.

And the fact that so many of these basic issues should exist in the first place leaves one with the sour taste that they have to hold the OS’s hand forever.

If it has anti islanding at least it’s unlikely to be a shock hazard.

That said are there any other concerns I’m missing?

HKJ or hotkinkyjo

A single birth can result in multiple deaths in the situation of murderer being born, so you might actually be right.

I’m a few years younger, and have also started down the road to be assessed.

Your post resonated strongly with me. Just normal life feels harder than things should be, but the Aussie attitude for blokes is “she’ll be right mate, stop being lazy and don’t be such a pansy”

I fight really fucking hard to try to keep my shit together and be ‘normal’ and I’m tired.

At this point I’ll take any help I can get.

It’s love to see this in motion.

Cheap shitty knockoff reboots of a product are not newsworthy or even post worthy.

Is my opinion unpopular?

This YouTube short I stumbled upon a while ago pretty much covers it… https://youtube.com/shorts/haOm9TY90uY?si=rOnOKRMHPQslVn5e

Nope… Uses toner instead, and is typically much longer lasting than ink, doesn’t clog like ink, cheaper per page than ink.

Doesn’t do as good at extreme quality photographs as ink but does everything else better than ink.

Good and fair answer.

I’m kinda not anti car… But kinda am.

It would be kinda cool to have a way to ditch at least 1 of the family cars, but fuck Australia and our backward thinking bureaucrats.

Not only are things getting worse as far as infrastructure goes, the costs of public transport are skyrocketing too.

No one wants to pay through the nose for a train that leaves them behind because it’s over full (a real issue at some stations on the Melbourne train line I’m on).
