Yeah, and as if anyone would know. They'll send out the announcement internally on the Tuesday before the next fitbit releases, then announce it to the public on Wednesday.

I have beat the game. I remember the gist of the solution, but I have no idea how to pull it off any more. I can't wait to play it again, possibly with the VR mod.

At least he's dumb enough to not understand how, in this fucked up system we've got here, voting for a third party is like not voting at all.

Ahh, yeah, I'd guess the ecosystem isn't that large yet, as updates roll out to Android devices n such. I haven't really tested mine in the real world yet. I've been meaning to.

One time I got a notification that someone was tracking me with a tracker. It was my own wallet that is registered to my account lol.

How do you mean not worth it? The pebblebees are working fine for me.

Yeah, it's cool that Google has finally got their shit together with that. What's fascinating is that Google and Apple worked together to provide cross device notifications if an Air tag is following an Android or a Google FindMy tracker is following an iPhone.

It works like Tile and Apple's FindMy network, mostly through Bluetooth I believe. Every single phone running android (and with the setting enabled) can ping the location of your trackable when nearby. It's just like Tile, except with a network of every single Android device instead of just Tile users. If you're unsure how Tile or Air tags work, then you might have bit more research to do that's outside the scope of this comment.

I'm not sure what you mean by enable it, the first step would be to purchase a compatible trackable. Currently there are only two brands making them, unless others have started since I bought mine. Pebblebee seems to be the more popular ones, and that's what I went with.

If you want to play around with the app, you can download it here, but there won't be much to do in it until you have a trackable.

Heads up, Google now has a FindMy network like Apple's that'll update much more frequently than a Tile due to the sheer number of users. The downside, as compared to a tile, is that it'll notify the thief that a tracker is following them.

When I was moving from a Windows NAS (God, fuck windows and its permissions management) on an old laptop to a Linux NAS I had to copy about 10TB from some drives to some other drives so I could re-format the drives as a Linux friendly format, then copy the data back to the original drives.

I was also doing all of this via terminal, so I had to learn how to copy in the background, then write a script to check and display the progress every few seconds. I'm shocked I didn't loose any data to be completely honest. Doing shit like that makes me marvel at modern GUIs.

Took about 3 days in copying files alone. When combined with all the other NAS setup stuff, ended up taking me about a week just in waiting for stuff to happen.

I cannot reiterate enough how fucking difficult it was to set up the Windows NAS vs the Ubuntu Server NAS. I had constant issues with permissions on the Windows NAS. I've had about 1 issue in 4 months on the Linux NAS, and it was much more easily solved.

The reason the laptop wasn't a Linux NAS is due to my existing Plex server instance. It's always been on Windows and I haven't yet had a chance to try to migrate it to Linux. Some day I'll get around to it, but if it ain't broke... Now the laptop is just a dedicated Plex server and serves files from the NAS instead of local. It has much better hardware than my NAS, otherwise the NAS would be the Plex server.

If I understand the comic, I don't see why it's funny.

As a tech nerd who self hosts stuff, I'm more like "what is IPV6 and why is it causing me issues, I can't figure this out, I guess I'll disable it, wow my problems are fixed now."

I guess I can see why people don't like it, as it's caused me issues, but just because I don't understand it doesn't mean it's dumb. I'd need to understand how it works before I could say anything about it, positive or negative. I guess all I could say is that it's been way less intuitive to me, I can't memorize the numbers, and the reason it exists makes sense. Beyond that, I unno.

I should probably spend the time to learn about it, but I already have a full time job where I work on computers all day, I'd rather focus on my other hobbies while I'm at home.

Or just use Revanced or Grayjay, both of which are ad free and support sponsor block. Revanced is still a bit more feature complete imo, but also more buggy on my device, and more of a hassle to update. The browser YouTube experience is so bad, ads or ad free.
