Better believe hearing aid manufacturers gonna try and legislate these out of existence lest they lose their cash cow.

My bet is a patent troll lawsuit.

Enable safe mode too? If there’s a problem while in safe mode just power cycle the router and the last good config before safe mode enables should come back up.

I’d still do a backup in addition to play it safe though.

They’re obscenely priced too. If AirPods can do even half as good as dedicated ones they’ll be an amazing tool for people with poor hearing.

My wife’s dad is too proud to buy hearing aids but he might be convinced to use AirPods because they’re just headphones like everyone wears.

Most countries regulate medical devices rather closely. The US ASND Canada have some parity of regulations so an obvious first step.

That whole “don’t be evil” mantra is long dead now.

Be evil if it makes money.

It’s awful. I had other incompatibilities but I would’ve uninstalled it for photos being so awfully itself.

Getting to a specific album is slow and a chore, it feels clunky.

Maybe it will be faster with AI but it’s not there yet so I need to go with what I see.

I like the feel of fine woven. Got it with my 15 pro max.

It’s aged a bit but not worn through or fraying. I did spray it with scotchgard when I first got it though which probably helped somewhat.

Well said. I run a mikrotik router for my main network and use unifi APs throughout my house. Took a lot of tinkering to set up and I learned a lot. Very flexible but more expensive and much harder to learn than a simple all in one setup.

Unraid checking in. 150TB ish. Dual parity for media files on XFS drives. Can lose 2 drives before array data is at risk, and even then if a drive fails, I’d only lose the data on that drive not the entire array.

Important data is on ab encrypted ZFS array which is snapshotted and replicated hourly to a separate backup server and replicated one more time weekly to 3.5” archive drives which are swapped out to a safe deposit box every few months.

I used to use rsync to do it but snapshot replication with sanoid/syncoid does the same thing in a tiny fraction of the time by just sending snapshot deltas rather than having to compare each file.

Sounds like a pink case is in order.

We upgrade bi yearly right now, but our entire household is iOS.

15 Pro Max here. Totally happy with it. Not gonna worry about 16.

As a parent and someone doing tech support for oldsters the more walled their gardens the less work for me.

And for me that’s all that matters right now.

 

My home network is firewalled and reasonably secure (all permanent devices and IOT devices have MAC addresses tracked and registered) but I’d like to improve it even more:

  • Home devices (servers, printers, laptops, etc) with registered MAC addresses which can’t be accessed from my registered IOT devices or from unregistered guest devices.

  • QOS rules for all guest devices.

Using a HEX to run the network with unifi AP hardware.

Just wondering if anyone knows which SAS connectors on the SAS826A backplane control which ports?

On my current setup only ports 8-11 are working so got some troubleshooting ahead of me.

The online manuals show the connectors but unhelpfullyndont indicate which ports are being used for each.

Also, anyone know what the ribbon cable beside the SAS wires is used for on supermicro cables? I don’t recall seeing it on other SAS cables.

Ok it’s a wish list but I’m trying to check all boxes.

  • slim design
  • card ejector mechanism
  • AirTag integrated without a massive unsightly bump
  • MagSafe connection to iPhone
  • brown or black leather (optional but preferred over metal)
  • price $120 max

I haven’t found any options yet which check all boxes.

 

So off to Japan for a month and it appears that my EDC is going to suffer as Japanese law prohibits people carrying any sort of edged tool unless they need it for their work. Kinda sucks for a country known around the world for crafting sharp blades.

Apparently any sort of run-in with law enforcement pretty much guarantees a bad time if you have so much as a Swiss Army knife with you. Keeping in your hotel is fine, but walking around with it is not.

Makes me a bit (lot) sad. I’ve EDCed a small Kershaw or Benchy with me for the better part of the last 5 years or so.

Backup plan is going to be a flashlight or two. Those aren’t prohibited. Probably a Hank light and a tiny rechargeable I can keep in my pocket.
