So between 0 and 20. 😛

I think people’s experience with PLE will always be subjective. In the old flat we were in, where I needed it. It would drop connection all the time, it was unusable.

But I’ve had them run totally fine in other places. Noisy power supplies that aren’t even in your place can cause problems. Any kind of impulse noise (bad contacts on an old style thermostat for example) and all kinds of other things can and will interfere with it.

Wifi is always a compromise too. But, I guess if wiring direct is not an option, the OP needs to choose their compromise.

Per 100g is quite normal across Europe too (because you can kinda treat the values like a percentage or at least compare to any other product). We usually in the UK have per 100g and either per serving size or package size.

Work laptop, it stays closed, and I use my two screens connected to it. After Covid, everyone wanted video calls. Nope, I’m not getting the laptop out from the back of the desk for you.

Anyone hacking the webcam can get a view of the base of the laptop.

I’d like a proper hardware light. Something physical such that the camera cannot send the image back to the board without the light being on. And yes, a physical cutout switch would definitely be nice.

Change the code on my luggage. No, wait, that’s something else.

I’m in the ntppool.org pool for the UK. It randomly assigns servers which could be any stratum really (but there is quality control on the time provided). I also have stratum 2 servers in .fi, and .fr (which are dedicated servers I also use for other things, rather than a raspberry pi).

No. A GPS (with PPS) hat. That counts as a stratum 0 time source, making the NTP server stratum 1.

Well I run an ntp stratum 1 server handling 2800 requests a second on average (3.6mbit/s total average traffic), and a flight radar24 reporting station, plus some other rarely used services.

The fan only comes on during boot, I’ve never heard it used in normal operation. Load averages 0.3-0.5. Most of that is Fr24. Chrony takes <5% of a single core usually.

It’s pretty capable.

I said what I said!

That should be illegal. Any editor containing the letters vi together must not use any keys except those that can be sent over a vt100 terminal!

Yeah and I’m sure probably 10 or so years ago I saw it in the one in lakeside retail park.

This is pretty much how it is in most of Europe. At least generally in the UK drinks are served by the people working there and the machines are behind the counter.

I remember some years ago burger king sometimes had self serve drink machines. But cannot say I’ve been inside one in the UK for some time. So may no longer be the case.

The other exception is Costco which seems to work like an outstation of the USA over here. They have the self serve drink machine that is almost always out of syrup and allows refills.

Having said all that it does seem like penny pinching.

If no-one pirated any Sony game do you think they would.

A) Lower the price of the game to maintain their existing profit margin.
B) Set a lower price that increases their margin.
C) Keep the higher price and just make a fuck ton more money.

So if you mind sharing your data, don’t get the shiny. You know it will become like that shiny pony back in wow’s wrath expansion. It told you more about the person than anything else.

I really don’t see the problem, provided it is cosmetic. If you don’t want to link, you don’t get a glittering, whatever in game. If you don’t mind sharing your datas, then you get the shiny thing (and everyone knows you don’t mind sharing your datas).

I think that’s entirely fair and similar to store loyalty cards. You get something in exchange for your datas at least.

I feel like there’s a lot of misunderstanding about what I’m trying to say.

I’m saying the average windows user will begin to get fatigue when some installers ask for elevation 3 times (maybe more). They’ll end up just pavlovian clicking OK whenever that prompt appears. Which ends up circumventing the whole reason the prompt exists.

Sudo is very different. You need to explicity enter your password. It may be cached for a short time and I’d argue that’s actually better.

If I’m installing something, it asks for my password once but can then raise to root multiple times that’s fine.

If I’m installing something and it asks for elevation three times, for example it needs to Install multiple drivers. It generates an automatic click when installing for many unexperienced users. It’s dangerous imo.

It can’t really be compared to Sudo.
