1% of their valuation and they can keep the model built on the stolen works.

Don't forget the extra fees!

[–] TheButtonJustSpins 9 points 2 weeks ago

Grab a broad-market index fund with the lowest fees (e.g., VTSAX), set regular purchases, and move on with your life. Avoid insurance products that claim to be investments. Avoid anything with higher-than-minimum fees or load fees.

I think 1-2$ per drink is the recommendation because it's easier to remember than doing the math, and you're more likely to drop the cash and go rather than interacting with a busy bartender more. That said, if they're doing full service for you (food, checking in on you), you should probably tip normally, because they're acting as a server in that case.

Really makes you continue to question the decisions of Disney The Company.

I'm still trying to get the hang of that sort of fit. I saw it in a video about crush ribs but it didn't work when I tried it. Will keep at it until I figure it out, though.

Get a job. Work on designs in your spare time. Sell STLs or put them up MakerWorld for Boosts.

Then we start getting into philosophy on self and also how much machine assistance is allowed. If you can provide nutrition and oxygen to the brain, you could probably be a brain in a jar and still count.

It's not user friendly. If you're looking for something anywhere near intuitive as an iPod was, it's a long way away.

That said, it's mostly a firmware issue, so it can get there, but it needs a lot of work. I'm hopeful that it will be better in a few years.

Edit: To answer your question, it's a cool bit of tech, and it can play music, but it's of interest as a bit of tech and not as a music player.

As a note, Tangara is for tech people who happen to like music, not for people who like music generally. It might get there eventually, but it sure as hell didn't launch like that.

Source: got one for my spouse. It sits in a drawer.

 

I just want a place I can dump files to share out for public consumption. Ideally read-only - I'd have a folder shared on my network, and anything I put in that folder would become available through the site.

I realize I could just spin up an nginx container to serve a folder, but I didn't know if there was something out there that would put a pretty interface on it.

Media mode? (self.linuxmint)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by TheButtonJustSpins to c/linuxmint@lemmy.ml
 

Is there a way to enable a media mode while watching something, like to prevent notification sounds/toasts while watching something?

 

Is there a way to remotely replace the certificate? I can upload it through the web UI, but I'd like to have that process automated.

 

I just had to reinstall my OS (LMDE6), and I'm having palm rejection issues again. I know I did something when I first got my FW16 to fix this so it wasn't as big a problem, but I don't remember what, since it's been a while. Does anyone have a link to a list of things to do when you first get your FW16 to get it set up correctly?

Tangara /c/? (self.lemmy411)
 

Is there a tangara community? Have many technical questions and I'm not sure where to ask.

 

Is there a way to keep Rhythmbox from showing up on the lock screen?

In LMDE, I installed the .deb so I have the driver. In Manjaro, I'm just using a generic driver. In both cases, I can't select duplex printing.

If I log into the printer's control panel, 1-Sided Printing is Off.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a Zero set up with usb0 as g_ether and a static IP address:

usb0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 10.14.0.15  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.14.0.255
        ether 7e:24:7d:cc:68:7c  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

I have the OTG port connected to one of the four USB ports on a 4b. I'm not sure what the next steps are to get the actual connectivity to function, though. I've seen posts saying that gadget mode is only supported on the USB-C port - does that only mean for using the 4b as a peripheral, or does that mean for any connectivity, even if it's the host?

New to CircuitPython, this feels like it should work according to the docs but it prints six Falses. Any ideas?

#!/usr/bin/env python
import board
import digitalio
import time

class body_controller:

  def __init__(self):
    SWDIO = board.D5
    self._reset_pin = digitalio.DigitalInOut(SWDIO)
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    self._reset_pin.switch_to_output(True)
    print(self._reset_pin.value)

  def turn_on(self):
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    self._reset_pin.value = False
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    time.sleep(1)
    print(self._reset_pin.value)
    self._reset_pin.value = True
    print(self._reset_pin.value)

body = body_controller()
time.sleep(1)
body.turn_on()
time.sleep(1)

Turn off tips? (self.protonmail)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by TheButtonJustSpins to c/protonmail@lemmy.ml
 

Is there any way to turn off the random tips like "make a receipts folder!" in the Linux desktop app?
