Remember the porn networks that tried to get you to download their software to connect, and then it ended up being a dialer to a 900 number?

I guess you’re too young to remember the good old days of dogpile searching on four engines within one page.

I know that they started a lot of philanthropic corporate efforts and encourage companies they work with to follow suit. Their CEO has also been vocal on LGBTQ+, abortion, and gender pay gap issues.

Salesforce as a company ranks as one of the good ones, at least so far.

It’s a low friction way to set up a home server with NAS and docker containers. The “Unraid” portion is the configuration that lets you set up an “array” with parity drive(s), but without striping so each disk has a complete filesystem and files accessible even when removed from the array. Everything can be managed through a web UI, and there’s a robust “app store” of docker containers.

The downside is that it’s not free, and they recently moved towards monthly/yearly licensing and increased the cost of new lifetime licenses.

I ended up taking my unsupported computer and turned it into an Unraid server. Bought some refurb enterprise drives on eBay to get it set up, and now I have an awesome home media server/NAS.

One could argue they still haven’t

It looks like the media player is open source, but the media server is not.

I also bought the lifetime license a while ago, and am also happy with that purchase.

If the door exists, then it can be opened

Every week I find a new reason to be glad for my 2016 Escape.

I also pick this guy’s IRC

Trying to stop scrapers, I would imagine.

I’ll believe Adobe made something non-exploitative when I see it.

We just got a rice cooker instead

The Instant Pot was a product so good that customers rarely needed to buy another one. The company went bankrupt.

Man, we had to replace the fuse on ours four times before we gave up on it; I don’t think ‘product longevity’ was a major factor in the brand’s downfall. It also did a shit job of cooking rice.

I also highly doubt Logitech’s ability to make a “forever” mouse with how many I’ve had to RMA due to faulty left click switches. Get your product design, supply chain, and QA in order before you start trying to tie people down with wholly unnecessary and unwanted subscriptions. Shitty ent seeking MBA vampires fucking everything up for everyone.

Almost every meme template has been used to make alt-right nonsense, do we just abandon any symbol they pick up for their misdeeds? Or do we push back and refuse to allow them that kind of control over our culture?

I’m pretty sure Pepe was only temporarily coopted by the far rights, and has since been reclaimed.

Likewise

Per the article, this looks to be limited to mobile internet and not traditional broadband. While I can understand the practicality of carving out unique bands of the wireless spectrum for specific uses, charging extra for it seems scummy.
