Unless this thing runs on fossil fuels, I don’t think it’s really going to have a big impact on climate change.

I guess there’s an argument that this is taking away engineering hours from projects that might have more practical uses in addressing climate change but I’d counter that sometimes engineers need a break from their usual work to avoid burning out from tedious incremental tasks and rigid processes. A bit of time and space for experimentation can be helpful, reinvigorating, and can lead to future discoveries and inventions if done right.

I’ve heard that Sceptre is a good brand for that

The simplest solution is just don’t buy these TVs

Seems to be gaining popularity with real estate and construction to help visualize spaces as they’re being built and/or sold

Have you tried OnlyOffice?

Does anyone use MPL anymore? Is it a decent middle ground or the worst of both worlds?

Try OnlyOffice instead

My experience with it has been mostly positive, however the laptop I’m running it on is aging and now doesn’t have support for hardware accelerated video decoding for some of the newer codecs. Watching some streams and videos has been a painful experience. Not sure if there’s a way around that.

Have you heard of Qubes?

Sometimes programmers wanna store one file and not care about the details related to what drive and computer it’s on. Sometimes in addition they want to make that file available to a limited number of other people or maybe make it broadly available on a private network or public on the internet.

Amazon’s cloud (AWS) offers a convenient service called Simple Storage Service (S3) to do that with a bunch of reliability and availability guarantees. Those guarantees add to the cost of the service, and not everyone needs them, so some programmers hope that competing discount cloud service providers (CSPs) will eventually offer a compatible service.

Hetzner is a discount CSP with lower guarantees, and that according to this post, released a compatible service.

Competition here is good. AWS is pretty dominant, number 1 worldwide with 33% of the CSP market and the company as a whole makes a lot of profit from being the internet’s corporate landlord.

I’m surprised there’s so few mentions of AWS in this thread. It’s a huge profit centre for the company and a large portion of the internet is now running off of it. AWS is basically the internet’s landlord now, and the profits generated from being the most popular cloud service provider globally are probably why they can afford to invest so heavily into their logistics infrastructure and retail that people are more familiar with.
