I scored an Optiplex 7050 SFF with 250GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and an i5-6500 for under $100 on an ebay auction last year. I threw in another 16 GB of RAM, an i7-7700, 300W PSU from an Optiplex XE3 (factory for a 7050 SFF is 180W…), factory SD card reader + faceplate, and an Nvidia Quadro K1200 (why? I don’t remember, but it’s better than the iGPU).

I had the same IP address for almost four years through Spectrum in Upstate NY, on a residential plan. It changed once. I ended up moving anyway though, so I didn’t get to see how long that one stuck around.

Yeah, but the general smartphone user is gonna want the weather where they are right now. And that means the phone needs location data and pings a server somewhere often enough to get “real-time” weather updates.

I’m a tinkerer at heart but when I put a weather widget on my home screen, I want it updated automatically. I don’t want to have to manually refresh it every time I want up to date weather at that moment, especially on my watch.

Use a different launcher

How else do you think weather apps work?

Something something interject, something something modified GNU, something something Linux kernel

Go on…

It’s not a secret that Snapchat’s CEO was a massive Apple fanboy and regularly dunked on Android. It shows in how each platform’s app utilizes their respective resources (i.e. the Android version taking a fucking screenshot despite the camera2 API being readily available).

There’s just something about the term “butthole” instead of the harsher “asshole” that really drives a point home.

I’ve been using KeePass for a very long time. It works, and the Google Drive plugin syncs without any issues. I have it set up on multiple devices, all pulling from my Google Drive, and each instance of KeePass has it’s own key file. So even if someone got a hold of the main database, it’s useless without the key file, which is only hosted on specific devices.

Do it. Use “Power Delete Suite”, it has an option to edit comments before deleting everything.

OneNote is absolutely free. I use it for a lot of things, at home and work.

Edit: I guess, I should say that it doesn’t cost money. It certainly isn’t “free” as in “freedom”, but it’s incredibly handy.
