Cool! From HP! The robot only costs $1,500 but a two pack of extra sharpies for it costs $48,000. Before you can use it, you must install 5 petabytes of HP drivers.

Agreed! In the US there is a company that does this but they don’t have a nationwide presence: https://www.rentawreck.com/ . Also in Iceland there is “Sad Car” which was great for kicking around.

"It depends": Beanstalk is a bit like training wheels with regards to auto scaling, load balancing, and high availability. If you/your team are new to those concepts as applied on AWS, then EB can make it a lot faster to get

You might be on to something. I work remote... Already in a small mountain town but in my new-ish neighborhood the houses are crowded together. We've considered buying more remote land but the zoning codes in most CO counties require

Overall I think you might be on to something. I have a nice set of bose noise cancelling headphones but I don't like to wear them for the entire day. My particular challenge: my home office is pretty quiet except when my extremely hig

Good concern. We won't be doing any "hundreds of hours" solution. We've been married over 30 years so we're a pretty good team - naturally I wouldn't do it without both of us thinking it was a great idea.

LOL. Thank you for downvoting that for me. The Internet wouldn't be the Internet if it weren't for asshats!

1) There will always be "boring" work regardless of whether you run your own company or you are a Jr. Software Dev. When faced with boring work I always recommend: A) Challenge yourself do to this in the most excellent way possibl

I love Poweramp (i'm on android). Plex is second best but has stability problems.

Upwork is a dumpster-fire. I have used it (to hire specifically-skilled software professionals) several times in the past six years and these are the problems: 1) too many people bid on your project even if they clearly do not have the desi

What about Axis Cameras? ( https://www.axis.com/en-us/products/network-cameras ) expensive but run some POE cable and you can own everything.

Very saddened by this. I very much enjoyed LJ even though I didn't "deep dive" into many of the articles. Honestly the original appeal for me was the PAPER publication - I can't stand staring at a screen if I'm no

It is actually incredibly easy if you use a password manager and have your local pi-hole credentials all saved. Maybe 4 clicks and I've disabled both my pi-holes (primary and backup) for 15 minutes. I've been running 2 pi-holes f

Not that I know of. Kind of depends: Is the offending company a utility? A financial entity? Takes a bit of sleuthing.

Completely agree! Taking the time to pull in the regulatory body that sits on top of a misbehaving behemoth absolutely works! I've done this with PHH Mortgage who "lost" a payment when they took over the mortgage from anoth

This is, perhaps, one of the most civilized and enlightened on-line discussions I have ever witnessed. Newnewpdro and weeksie I commend you both.

Came here to post the same thing. For any developer who has worked on network software longer than 10 days, the complete loss of signal to the "server" is _not_ "an edge case"!
