I’m looking to get inspiration for my own writing. I need a hard sci fi series where earth (and earthlike worlds) are too rare, inaccessible, and/or previously spoiled beyond ability to sustain life. Bonus points if it is set on a multi-generational space station or starship without any other options and goes into detail about...
The whole premise of the book is returning to earth, but The 100 starts out in the way you’re wanting including multigenerational space stations and resource limitations.
Are you sure about that? I’m using the official AT&T fiber modem (Nokia white oval) and a pi.hole for DNS. I do remember needing to change a number of settings to get it to work though.
That sucks your apartment flooded, but depending on what state you’re in you might be able to do something about it. Some states have laws that allow you to “repair and deduct” emergency repairs. Meaning if your landlord refuses or doesn’t answer you, you can pay to have the problem fixed yourself and then deduct the amount you paid from your rent payment.
You probably want commercial displays. They’ll cost a bit more, but they’re also designed to run 24/7 (think the screens they use in menus, signs, etc) so they could probably last forever as a TV.
Threads will be implementing federation in the near future and many instances have been discussing whether they should be pre-emptively defederated to protect the fediverse. See below for our local discussion thread, which will remain active until this vote is complete....
It’s much more secure on ‘less than trusted’ devices and for less than secure people.
Instead of having to type your password in on your friends laptop that may have a keylogger installed, you just type your username in and then do your fingerprint on your phone. That’s it; your phone verifies it’s you and then transmits the passkey over Bluetooth, so it can’t be phished or observed while you type it.
For less than secure people, you don’t have to convince them to use a password manager and stop writing their passwords on sticky notes. They just type in their username and do their fingerprint on their phone. It can’t be phished so even if someone is remotely controlling a victims computer the damage is limited to allowing access to a single account on that physical computer - they can’t take that passkey and use it anywhere else, unlike a password for an email account that’s used for online banking as well. They also can’t keylogger it and then log in after they’re disconnected from the victim.

I’m not in the tech community, but I have an idea for a device I want to get made (just for my own convenience; nothing commercial or for an organization). Is there an existing platform for soliciting someone to build an electronic gadget for me?
It’s not really meant for soliciting, but Tindie is the closest thing I can think of what you’re looking for. www.tindie.com You could find something in the same ballpark of what you’re looking for and contact the person who made it and ask if they would be interested in doing custom projects.
I (tried to) send you a message, there doesn’t seem to be a ‘Sent’ box on Lemmy so I can’t verify it sent successfully. Let me know if you didn’t get it.
It also allows you to login without someone visually observing your password while typing it on a keyboard or on an untrusted device that could have a keylogger.
That was probably permanent magnet cards (pre-made credit cards, membership cards, etc) vs re-writable magnetic cards that can be written to with a desktop machine.

It must be in a locked, hard sided case. You let TSA inspect it, then you get to keep the keys and they do not. It’s a common(?) trick for photographers with thousands of dollars of camera equipment to put a starter pistol in the camera case.
For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in....
I didn’t really like Nebula. I signed up and canceled my subscription before I even finished a single video. Almost everything is available on YouTube for free (albeit with ads if you don’t have Youtube Premium) and it just didn’t feel like they had enough content to be charging $5/month.
