I don’t think Target is either complying with the law nor violating it; I don’t think it applies whatsoever and they just added the disclosure anyway.

Different stores have different prices based on geolocation. There’s nothing new with that. But if that reflects on the website, an algorithm didn’t use personal data to determine anything.

What I do think, besides incompetence, may be a desensitizing campaign numbing customers to the practice possibly for a future rollout or drum up opposition.

Nothing wrong if you have the drivers, but if you find yourself in a pinch, they aren’t prevalent like Philips or standard screwdrivers. A socket set is part of our emergency kit now.

My SO’s car is a Ford (pretty reliable actually) and the first fix-it we did needed torx bits. Ugh, go out and get a set of those… come back and start again. I look around and they are everywhere. It might deter some, but to us it was a waste of time and a F-you to those of us who can fix our piles.

Oh, and a special F-you to whomever designed the absolute useless (not making it up; it’s a 4 inch hollow chunk or metal welded to the frame nothing bolts to, hides inside, or protects) protrusion blocking a wrench from the oil drain bolt. A pox on thee!

On one hand, bummer. But on the other, sort of a waste of hardware anyway.

I was a big time pro user. G3 tower with DVD card, G5 dual, Mac Pro 5,1 with dual X5690’s and other upgrades. But I had to drag those systems kicking and screaming out of Apple’s walled garden to do what is second nature on the PC side of things. Loved the OS back then, but not all users were braindead drones.

“Pro” stopped being a moniker for advanced capability, instead the most expensive, least hobbled version.

I hope whomever replaces Cook (rumor has it) once again remembers what it was like to be a nerd under all that businessman authority.

I’m totally in the same boat. Haveibeenpwned is useless to me since the change.

Bookmarked the thread for future reference.

Yeah, upgrading to a Pi5 was super simple for me using the backup method. After the swap, I had to pair a few devices again and fix a couple automations to reflect the changes, but that was all. I’d definitely go that route vs start from scratch unless you are experiencing some serious problems.

I lost a beloved cat a few months ago that ran into the road. My security camera caught the whole thing.

“What if?” Is its own torment for us, but analytically, she simply wasn’t visible and there was nothing the driver could/should have done to prevent the horrible outcome.

There are in life no-win situations. It hurts, but it’s an adult realization. Cats go under cars to hide - to avoid being seen - and can’t grasp danger the same as humans.

Fight me. 😁

I just got a UGreen unit and while it is taking longer to set up then I’d like, the interface is pretty good and docker was up and running pretty quickly. Traefik is a royal pita, but that’s a user problem since I never used it before and it’s my test system.

Yahoo! Congrats to the Immich teams and developers!

Bingo. I’ve used Synology for ages and while they dont last forever, I get a lot of use out of them and re-buy them usually with an upgrade in mind.

But the new hard drive policy broke that cycle. I don’t put up with that. I replaced one with a UGreen NAS last month. It’s too early to tell how I feel about it. Docker is there and containers spin up pretty easily. Rumor has it there is hardware support for video encoding too, though I haven’t gotten around to testing it.

He’s trying to provoke cities that had large protests into violence, but we’re not biting. I’m pretty sure they are profiling activists who show up.

Even though there are some cloud services like remote server management, proxies, and 3rd party integration, I do actually have to run the software myself on my hardware. Hence, self hosted.

Man, I would. I am 100% the target demographic, jumped in the 3D TV rabbit hole and loved it. Totally knew it was a gimmick, but didn’t care. Would have friends over for 3D movie parties.

But adding them to my Plex server sucked. TAB or SBS files were half-assed and the PlayStation I used took sooooooo damn long to freaking start the movie and skipping was an issue.

Why stop at chrome. Break off Android too. They are shitting all over that now.

I get what you are saying, but in the case of the internet, you need an IP address to connect rather than simply exist with a computer. Someone needs to know where to send the data.

There are however free connections: unsecured neighbors wifi, city wifi, hotels, and even busses/trams. Lots have limitations to hogging bandwidth though.

Welcome to the secret internet when all your neighbors stop hogging it! (Well, less of a thing these days)

I was an early adopter of a cable modem with AT&T before download bandwidth caps. When the neighborhood went dark, I jumped to my computer and beeping UPS to download everything I could to find my max speed.

Yup. Results come back listing the server the file resides on.
