If the only way an industry could survive is through immigration, it is obvious that there needs to be a legal path for the skilled workers to immigrate. Maybe this should have been considered before the deportation surge.

But I suspect given the sponsors of this legislation that this is unlikely to have a path to citizenship and will amount to indentured servitude.

They weren’t doing disk level data recovery for this. At best it’s a backup but I suspect it’s just “back end” as in “we have it but the customer can’t see it until they pay for a subscription”

There’s a lot of value to teaching kids the value of their time - and how little they get for it.

The “worked harder in school because of manual labour” didn’t work for me though.

I don’t expect the same would happen if the person wasn’t related to a TV personality.

Also, this brings into question whether deleted data is in fact deleted.

The article isn’t about child labour specifically, but part time jobs for teens. Technically, child labour, but not really the same as a 8 year old coal miner or loom operator. Good click bait!

I worked through my teens but with some important caveats. I worked next to my boss every day, and they started before me and finished after me. I worked outdoors, in relatively decent weather. I was able to take vacation as I desired - even though I only had a few weeks to work, I still was able to take 2 weeks of vacation.

I don’t think my kids will be able to have a similar experience (given my location and market forces), and I don’t want them to grind away their leisure time at minimum wage working in a shitty retail environment with unpredictable hours. When I was working, (50-60hrs a week for the summer) the sum total of my all my teen years up to university didn’t cover the first year’s rent. I hope that I’ll be able to find suitable activities, volunteer opportunities, and learning experiences that they can participate in instead of a job.

If you make public transit a public service like road maintenance, this ceases to be an issue.

Wow. Blast from the past. I see znc is still a thing too

It’s fucking hilarious that you have to point out that “my wife doesn’t have problems opening the glovebox” as if that’s a problem in any other conventional car. Pull lever. Open glovebox. No sub-menu required. No tech bro wanking on the screen.

Well, it’s not a good car but the panels line up and it has buttons for wipers, lights, and shit like they. It does only get 250mi range.

You’re right. Only the first two vehicles show signs of armouring. I don’t think that all this theatrics would happen and then not put the cargo in the armoured car. But I’m not an expert, just a critic

One size doesn’t fit all.

Moreover, the president is getting the treatment of a king. They are ostensibly fungible assets. There’s a succession plan. The more they’re protected, the more they’re a target (and invading foreign countries doesn’t help).

From a security perspective, these only serve to create an extensive roadblock - and a traffic jam as seen at the end. Disable one in front, one in rear, and you’ve got them kettled. Plus, as you can see, it’s a very slow moving convoy. A dozen bike cops and two cars (Couchfucker + security detail) would be sufficient.

Whoever came up with this idea should be fired.

Fucking Chevy makes a better car.

We need new chips because number needs to go up.

Also because someone thinks JavaScript is a good language in which to create applications, and CPU and RAM are cheaper than a SWE that can optimise their code.

Yeah it’s just time and motion. I don’t like it to be honest, but my sensors are either not great or in a bad spot. I am interested in the mmWave sensors but not rushing.

Wikipedia has an article with some historical examples

There is a reason that cloud services are popular with businesses. How does self-hosting this provide value to your customers in line with the time that you spend on IT tasks instead of your product? Do you have enough faith in your build that it will be secure and reliable? If you have downtime, does your business have flexibility to accommodate you doing IT work for hours without loss of revenue? If you go on vacation, who is on call?

I’m not saying you shouldn’t, but do consider the time investment and risks. There are alternatives to M365 and Google.

The way I have it set up, HomeKit (hey siri) has full control over the stuff people want to control. So hey Google open the blinds/turn on the lights always works. But the blinds might still close 30 seconds later if that’s when the trigger occurs. Homeassistant is my coordinator.

Generally there’s limited use of HomeKit in my house because there’s a lot of automations. HomeKit only is a bunch of switches. I would set up Google the same way.

I don’t have smart switches if I can’t easily come up with a good automation - either motion based (which doesn’t work if the sensor doesn’t face enough of the room or if there isn’t enough motion to trigger it eg sitting in office chair) or time based (you positively know that between x and y hrs you need the lights on). And the automation needs to be pretty reliable; if I’m overriding constantly I’ve done it wrong. The convenience factor of being able to turn it off from my bedroom doesn’t add up in my case.

I also expose some switches to HomeKit that toggle things eg a water recirculating pump to toggle before starting the shower for instant hot water. But I’m a nerd.

Run everything through HA as the first step, and the frontend that your family uses is somewhat secondary.

I use HomePods and the home app as a front end. I assume you can do the same idea with Google.

There’s nothing wrong with setting up smart switches and using the physical buttons. If you don’t have an automation set up for the activity of the moment, just hit the button. That’s how it should work.

Pfsense is shady on the OSS side these days. I think. I haven’t gotten into the drama. Opnsense is a popular fork.
