Interesting, can't wait to learn more about the P1S.

Has the Unifi stuff gotten more expensive or have I gotten cheaper?

My dream of setting up a Mac Mini as a combo torrent seedbox / Plex server seems to be dying. To do so I need a VPN with both 1) port forwarding, 2) split tunneling on Macs, so I can exclude the Plex app from the VPN. No VPN appears to offer both, and the number of VPN services that offer port forwarding at all is dropping as we speak - two major VPNs just announced they were ending port forwarding in the last month!

@adamconover If you're willing to mess with docker this works pretty well (according to friends, of course). Using it with PIA https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

I just discovered that on Chrome for Windows (not Mac), page elements get mouse events even if the browser is not in focus. Is there a way to detect that the browser is not in focus and disable those?

@thudfactor does the visibilitychange event return what you need?

shouldn’t be surprised most of their “tentpole” movies are not getting $1B this year. Their theme parks average 2 to 3 times in spend vs 5 years ago.

In theme parks, there are no theaters at all. Put 1 huge theater in each of the 4 parks (each running a new/recent release), built to handle - say - 400 ppl. Charge $15/ea person. During extremely hot days or rainy days it would sell out!!!

There’s your $1B film Disney! @DanielleSATM @mikebrew @Jayslacks

troy,

@jann You're on to something. I'd say if they charged even more but made it a two week (or whatever) early access before the movie hit theaters or streaming people would absolutely pay to see. Or use it as a way to drive d23 subscriptions.

Quick little build today. Been a while.

@shauny oh weird, it showed the others as available when I ordered this, wonder how often they restock. Maybe I shoulda gone with one of the others...

@shauny just checked and it's sold out here too now, dang.

I wrote a book to teach journalists, researchers, hacktivists, and anyone else who wants to learn the technologies and coding skills required to investigate hacked or leaked data! Check out some reviews, read the beginning, and pre-order it from https://hacksandleaks.com/

President Biden in recent weeks has started using a CPAP machine at night to help with sleep apnea, the White House says. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/biden-started-using-cpap-machine-deal-sleep-apnea-rcna91741

We were going through some of our stuff this weekend and found this game that we apparently bought at one point.

It comes in a tin with lots of cool graphics on the packaging and ride vehicles as the play tokens! 1/2

Judging by the amount of Apollo merch that’s sold in the last two weeks without me even mentioning it, maybe I should be in the t-shirt biz instead of apps

So, if you want to pick some up, there’s a bunch of stuff available at https://cottonbureau.com/people/apollo

@christianselig ordered one, thanks for the free ship!

@macrumors Clickbait, data is from some analytics company, not Netflix internal. Of course they'll see a bump but this make it seem like they got this massive number of signups which isn't the case, even according to the analytics company.

Am I not supposed to turn the P1P off when I'm not using it? I usually use the switch on the back when I'm done for the day, but I'm seeing people leave it on all the time?

troy,
@troy@opencoaster.net avatar

@monorailtimes I never turn mine off. Sometimes will turn the light off though. Surprisingly little idle power draw.

Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️ https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/

@christianselig What's the best way to make sure you keep the remaining portion of my sub? I don't want a refund of any kind but realize it's probably something you'll be forced to do.

I did just sub to pixel pays so maybe that makes up for it? Anyways that's for the great app and good luck on whatever you end up doing next!

Tesla bros say FSD is already 99% perfect... Based on this, I'd say it's not really safe for anyone.

Reddit is totally pulling a Twitter.

I'd say a Reddit client is at least technically possible, unlike Twitter, but pricing would have to be around $10/month which really reduces the # of users that would be willing to pay to where it may just not be financially viable.

New Twitter “Pro" API level. Let's you fetch 1M Tweets for only $5k per month! The previous free level was 2M Tweets/month V2 and unlimited V1.1, but hey progress?

@paul hah and here my free access is still kickin'

Just waiting for the day all my api calls start to fail (more than they already do).
