Apple’s APFS I am not a fan of. I have been using Macs since 2008-ish. In all my HFS+ days, I’ve never lost an entire drive. I rebooted my M2 Mac Mini via command prompt, and my external APFS drive is corrupted. Never had that problem before APFS. And since I’m an idiot, I’ve got to pay DiskDrill to hopefully recover the data when I get a larger drive on hand.

I am stuck in Alabama-Stan. Our presumed next governor is a MAGAt. We bought an EV last year (used VW id4) to get my wife something to get the kids everywhere in. I have taken her old car (a 2006 VW Jetta TDI) and am using it as my commuter car for work, 60 miles a day. It has drastically lowered our footprint, as they replaced our primary family and commuter vehicle, my old Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. My wallet appreciates the lower costs of both cars to get around, CO2 per mile is substantially less, and even having our local utility company screwing us on rates, it’s still cheaper and greener.

I’m waiting for it to get the id.Buzz. I want one of them badly. Can’t wait!

The wife and I love her Volkswagen id4. It is comfy, gets good mileage, and is cheap on the used market.

Not to discourage you, and I’m not sure if LORA you’re referring to is LORA-WAN that we were implementing at my employer, but we abandoned it for cost and manufacturer support (firmware support issues).

Ditto. Love my Kobo Clara. My wife spent a week in the hospital, and while killing time, I read using my kobo. I didn’t have to charge it the entire week.

Bought it yesterday. Been enjoying it so far. What settings are you guys running and how’s battery life? I suspect battery problems on my deck, I got MAYBE 20 minutes out of it before it shut down in my second mission.

I upgraded from a mid 2012 13” MBP upgraded to within an inch of its life to an m3 Air 15”. I’ve loved my old mbp for years, but the increased size of the 15” display makes it better for me. My vision continues to worsen and I’m not getting any younger. The thinness of this machine makes up for the slightly bigger bulk from the larger screen to me, at least compared to my 2012 model. And the weight is ridiculously better.

Continuum was ok, but Motorola’s Atrix 4G had a lap dock even earlier. It was an outdated version of Ubuntu, if I remember, but it worked. I still miss WP though.

That sounds expensive? Just browsing the unifi site, and looking at one camera is $300. I’m trying to get away from my Blink and Ring systems due to privacy issues, but that’s a tough pill to swallow! Either way, with the way things are going, I want off of Blink and Ring and want something self hosted myself.
