Personal question: How old is your computer?

Shame on me for accepting the [crummy] stipend I'd paid for every pay period of my working [for others] life? Ask me if I care.

FYI, the Like was for this part anyway:

No. Those are frequency bands that could carry either analog or digital signals.

Try a better straw man, as yours is too weak to pass as one.

I don't know what your point is. Mine is it's not the end of the world if you have to fill out some forms.

Then ask questions until you're up to speed before saying foolish things.

I wouldn't call paying some 28% of my income in taxes which seems to be increasing every year as paying nothing. Quit complaining and pay yours.

There's no way you're paying 28% of gross income in federal income tax unless by incompetence or generous charity.

If government spent money wisely, we'd feel happy to pay into it, and contribute more than what is required. That alone tells us something.

If you don't want a 3 million word tax code then go to a country where you don't have 300 million people wanting to add their own 2 cents to the tax code.

No, I'll change this country and you can move to one that has a corrupt tax code supported by morons.

No part of that quote referred to a stipend you are entitled to.

thingiverse: Raspberry Pi Zero W Security Camera

These cameras will work with Ispy Surveillance and security software. I have yet to get it working with the one software I love the most.... Active Webcam.

All it needs now is a tilt/pan mount.

edit:
Here's where the RP5 NPU scores:

semiengineering.com/tops-memory-throughput-and-inference-efficiency/

So, the Hallo-8 is an order of magnitude below the top contenders and one above some others.

I was the only one to Like the post, and you ignore the ontopic part. What else am I to conclude?

Did you ever want to see Atari icons on a Mac Classic desktop running Chromium?

HOT DOG Linux is a Retro Computing Fever Dream

Yeah, me neither.

It was funny in the apple 2E lab back in college. The atari, not chrome, that wasn't invented yet

[freebeard]

It would be an exmplar of user control, if only the desktop icons were functional.

Are you afraid of robot dogs yet? You will be

Unitree B2-W Talent Awakening!

Haven't met a robot dog that would survive a double blast of 12 gauge to the "face", yet. Worst case would be to load assorted carbide steel pieces in the dual .75 caliber Pistolas and over charge the powder. Suppose ditto for the control device? However I should be dead or harmless by this time rolls around so the issue is moot.

If the LAW goes that way, they are gonna have to be armoured better than they are now and include all sorts of annoying new law to protect their property. Not accepting bets.

Supposedly, recovering them was possible, so it aggravates me that I never figured it out, but I wouldn't remember how I did it, and hopefully I never need to again.
I backed up my passwords from my old Dell, so as long as I also back up the passwords from my new Dell and Disco Inferno, I should be fine.
Ye Olde Dell is currently operating within specified parameters, so why do I have two new desktops?!

I also think that I was perseverating on the laptop instead of driving to Show Low and taking care of Mom's house.
Beating my head against the wall wasn't fun, but at least I was in the comfort of my own home, and I saw my wife and brother.
Of the many complications we have had lately, Mom had me take her to buy new test strips, and then her meter appeared to break. She used 6 new test strips and only had one result, the rest said Err.
Invalid!
Tis not human!
I kept trying to troubleshoot that, but all that I found was that bluetooth failed to pair.
The sixth time, in the middle of the night, she told me it said e11, and mentioned before it said e3 and e4.
You are just mentioning this now?!
Three different error codes with the new strips, I went and bought her a new package, and they worked.
Then, late the next night, she hadn't been able to find her meter all day, so I spent a long time looking.
It turned up in the morning.
Then late the third night, I needed to take my brother to the emergency room.
While I was waiting, I couldn't think of a more productive way to spend my time waiting than continuing to beat my head against the wall, but I couldn't do much on the phone, just find more pages saying I was doomed.
However, I figured out my work e-mail login, requested to reset my work site login, and it actually finally worked!

CPU - Intel Core Ultra 5 245k
GPU - Nvidia Gforce RTX 3080 Ti
Motherboard - Asrock Z890 Pro-A
RAM - TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert DDR5 32GB 6000MHz (PC5-48000) CL30
HD - M482 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2TB SSD
Storage - 2x WesternDigital 14TB HD in RAID 1
Case - Antec P101 Silent
PSU - EVGA 850w P5

Never understood the popularity of NAS when it's essentially a PC turned into a specific appliance. Since I have a powerful PC, one of the functions is NAS (file server). Less power consumption since my PC stays on 24/7.

Initial measurements have the thing idling at 50 watts, which is half of the power consumption of the PC it replaces.

VR is incredible. Half-life Alyx is mind-blowing. My brother-in-law upgraded from VR flying to RL (Real Life) flying, so I'm uncertain how much he'll be teaching me DCS World.
