Nah.

Honda has a much better product in the first place, their engineering approach has always been better than Nissan (I say this having worked on every major brand, and some unknowns).

Nissan is one of the better ones, but they’re still a big step away from Honda.

And Honda was working on hydrogen nearly 30 years ago now, which seems poised to suplant batteries (again, maybe).

Not really, they’ve all had telemetry for probably 20 years.

The cars with satellite radio are even worse (which isn’t saying much, since they put modems in cars about 20 years ago)

Jeep/Chrysler have always been banned from my life.

Garbage. Worse than any other American car company. They even managed to screw up cars made for them by Mitsubishi.

Which is why adding Tailscale to this KVM is a killer solution

Excellent, thanks for the link!

I like your thoughts on runtime and recharge time.

That four hour limit really outs things into perspective for someone just starting out. Most people don’t understand the constraints at first.

I believe mailbox.org is all renewable, and I’m pretty sure it’s solar.

But you need a massive battery bank to run stuff, batteries have a limited lifespan (especially the crap used in a UPS).

It’s not cheap, you generally want to overbuild everything, and there are ongoing costs (hardware failures, batteries, etc).

But it can be done. Just have to do the math for your max power draw, then how much uptime you need determines the size of your battery bank and number of panels (which is influenced by how much sun you get/how consistent it is). You need enough panels to run your system and charge batteries, given the limitations of sun availability.

A whole video to say the FAA had a no-fly zone around Picatinny weeks before these drones were spotted.

Who requested the zone? Some government agency, of course.

It’s really frustrating there’s no proper backup/restore without root - that’s my primary reason for having root.

Yea, Syncthing-Fork is still maintained, though there hasn’t been an update for a while. The company that makes Möbius Sync for iOS is a big supporter of Syncthing, hopefully they’ll help in some way. Alternatively there’s Resilio Sync, but it’s hard on phone ram - I’d have to manage it a lot more often. Though it has Selective Sync - I can browse a shared folder from my phone and tell it to sync specific files. This is great for my media server - I can grab any movie/music anytime.

I like Syncthing-Fork better because it moves sync conditions to within each folder. So my DCIM folder syncs on any network or battery condition (so I don’t lose photos), but NeoBackup folder only syncs on wifi and while charging.

Pretty much all folders now sync 2-way, and I export the Syncthing config on the phone whenever I change something. That export folder is also synced, so when I switch phones I just install ST, import that config, and after a couple hours the new phone has all the same stuff as the old phone. Then I launch NeoBackup and start restoring.

that I really should finish

That word “should” is a tricky little fella, he implies a judgement, the question is what’s the source of that judgement?

Wayne Dyer discusses the issues and challenges of words like “should” in his book “Your Erroneous Zones” by using a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approach: examining and rewriting how we think about things.

When I find myself using that particular word, I ask myself “should, according to who?”. Almost always I find I have an old “script” in my head about priorities, values, etc, that upon re-examining I find it’s no longer useful. Like “I bought this game, therefore I must get maximum value from it”.

Sometimes things run their course, and that’s that.

Fine, dammit, take your upvote, DAD

Wow, install Tailscale or Wireguard and you’ve got a killer remote support solution.

Weird people would downvote this. I usually don’t care (still don’t, lol) but someone downvoted the idea of installing a mesh VPN on this KVM, yet it’s already been done.

it sounds like rivalry to me

No shit? Like that wasn’t patently obvious?

What point are you trying to make? This girl is a psychopath.

She’s a psychopath. Sadly, I don’t believe she’ll change.

I’ve used Folder Sync since about 2011. Killer app.

I run rooted just so I can backup/restore apps, using NeoBackup. It backs up to a local folder.

That folder, along with pretty much every folder on my phone is synced to a server at home using Syncthing-Fork. This way new data (photos, downloaded files, etc) are always replicated, and I can effectively manage the phone file system by moving files around at home. Any changes I make will sync back to the phone.

You could learn from this person, since all your other responses are adversarial.

Where was that stated?

I read it as interesting rheirnsalarybwent up when what seems to be a key metric fell, hard.

You’d think this would be a basic usability thing. Just use colors that aren’t a concern for colorblind folks. It’s not hard.

Immodium/Limodil is your friend.
