This has been my issue as well - screens waking or not waking up. On latest Linux Mint and everything is great except when switching back and forth inputs between my personal and w…

They also tend to have higher fees and a smaller return than managing it yourself with index funds and bonds. But for people that don't want to do that it is a good option none the…

Actually at a previous company we had to use a service that did exactly this because we had to send money to various businesses and they didn't all have ACH/etc setup. So we had to…

There are savings account setups that do offer separate accounts for various buckets that do something like this - it may not be daily, but monthly or bi-weekly. I use smartyPig fo…

In the last couple of weeks we posted a job for a junior .NET dev and got over 800 resumes within days. The automation is killing both the employer having to sift through it all an…

I do wonder how much affect it has. At least in the US most insurance companies won't cover them (unless you already have diabetes, for example) and at over $1,000 a month I can't …

These are FAANG monies. The rest of the US normals (which is the vast majority) don't have these stock options and thus that kind of money.

Notepad++ ...There are alternatives, but none that save the current session (including unsaved files). The best option was to run it through Wine, but that seems overkill for a not…

Let's see my BE language progression went from... Apple Logo->Commodore BASIC->Fortran->Pascal->PHP->Java->VB6->.NET...and other modern things. ...With scripts of various types mix…

I'm so old phreaking was the only way for me to communicate with people outside my area through BBSs on my C64.

Unless you simply want to play with all the various bits of hardware, a standard PC tower will be more power efficient and save a lot of room. I use that with unRaid and a simple r…

So much this. I used to love playing games as a kid, but now I watch game demos now and all it looks like to me is work. Someone/thing telling me to go do this and that. Keep track…

It doesn't mention (or I missed it), but I wonder what the idle power usage is on these. I know with Nvidia cards you can run nvidia-persistenced to keep it in a lower power state …

Linked from the reddit post, this article (though US specific) has much more data that uses median vs average and breaks down by region.. https://listwithclever.com/research/home-p…

Similarly check out https://protoweb.org/about/ . They dont have every site, but they also include a fun 'antique' youtube where you get to stream with Real player or windows media…

There were great shows then and great shows now. The problem now is the good ones get lost in the sea of a million streaming services dishing out whatever they can to justify their…

I was in Costa Rica taking an aerial tramway which was about 75 ft up over dirt/rocky hill and my Pixel 6a (with just a basic back case) fell out of my pocket, hit the metal floor …

I built a similar thing and found it to add qualifications quite often, especially when you had it write a cover letter. It was still helpful though, just like with every use case …

Good call out - this does require a dummy plug as well.

I actually just ordered a GPU for my unRaid NAS server just to be able to do Steam Headless via a nice docker image(1) and then use Moonlight (for example) as a client on my Window…

Yes, you can try it as a Premium member. I didn't try it on any 3-hour long videos, but for a couple of shorter ones it worked well enough to give a tl;dr;.

Oct 2025, by that time Windows 12 will come out and we can continue the skip every other Windows OS cycle.

I'd love to know what happened there. They used to be on their unreliable list for years.
