You're underselling this poster. It goes hard AF. Racking my brain if there's another poster that unintentionally goes as hard as this one.

Yep, that tracks. There's also the underlying current of Jantelagen (Law of Jante) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Jante

This one seems different from the (correct) ruling in favor in hiQ Labs, where the courts were quite clear that scraping the public Internet was completely legal. This is a case of a company creating millions of fake user accounts, so they’

It does seem that way, doesn't it? Shame, it was the perfect form factor for family room, office front desk.

What is preventing them from launching a 27" version? I've been waiting to upgrade our 2017 model in the living room, was hoping the 27" was finally going to come now. Guess Mac Mini is the only route to go...

Honestly, it was a very close call. I had two shopping lists written down, one for Unifi, one for TP-link. It was a combination of a couple of factors. It was actually a really tough decision, because they both seemed very good value for mo

I was considering TP-Link at point of purchase, since there are some options there with more throughput. Like everything, it's a tradeoff calculation and this time I favored the convenience

I can throw in my vote for Unifi. Stuck the UDM and the rest of the gear in a rackmounted enclosure in my daughter's wardrobe and haven't needed to think about it even once in 2+ years. It just manages itself nicely.

How GM thinks removing CarPlay and Android Auto is a strategically beneficial move, is mind boggling. I literally can't imagine how the reasoning happened, except for some really strong-willed exec with a lot of political power pushed

There used to be an ABX plugin for Foobar, where you could test yourself if you could make out the difference between an MP3 of your choice and a lossless one. I think I scored worse than a coin flip when it came to 320 files

Two use cases for scanning: 1. Forms that can't be filled out digitally Forms that can only be filled out by hand are annoyingly common. Surprising amount of PDFs to fill out that are just a scan of a hardcopy, where they haven't

Maybe it's the combination of living in the US + having kids, but I'm finding myself printing a LOT. Not a week goes by without a couple of forms to print, fill out by hand and (perversely) scan and email back. Main culprits are s

> The only reason you may not want it is the space it takes. Having a separate scanner, I'm really liking the size of Brother's smallest models: 14 inch long, 14 inch wide, 7 inch tall.

I'm using a Mac and the default AirPrint drivers. Don't have any of the Brother software installed, even the scanner works perfectly through the native macOS settings.

People are tired of two things in general: lousy business practices around ink cartridges and the damn printer not cooperating. Two birds with one stone: buy a Brother b/w laser printer or a scan/fax multifunction one. You’ll neve

It's one of the reasons we have dashcams in both our cars. Added bonus is that if you witness an incident, the police is very happy when you can send them the video file to prove how it all happened.

Same here, the UDM Pro [1] and any of their U6 WiFi APs [2] are great. I went the extra mile and wired up each room with 2-3 ports, so had to get one of their PoE switches because you quickly run out port space on the UDM. [1] https:/

Same here. Once you get used to having Ethernet ports in all rooms and wired WiFi access points...there's just no going back. If we move to a new house in the future, the CAT6 will be pulled into all rooms before the furniture arrives
