pre-dell alienwares had fricken digital clocks in the front

They were also the easiest to use offline. I needed internet to set them up, but once they were up, as long as I didn’t want to ever use the app, they didn’t actually need a connection to operate.

It’s doable, but a tedious pain in the ass.

I only go back for porn

It’s a just ok panel. Tends to look really washed out.

I think the post you replied to was sarcasm.

I specifically made a new account on an instance that allows downvoting just for transphobes.

My take’s always been Monetization ruined YouTube.

I do have a UPS for some of my stuff. I was planning on getting another small one for some networking stuff, but no reason I couldn’t get a bigger one to cover another device.

Ah, I do have a UPS for sensitive electronics, though I need another one for some other networking equipment anyway. That does make it feel more approachable. Maybe when my life stops taking a big steamy dump I’ll look into this with more earnest. Thanks for the overview!

That would be fine from a storage standpoint, except that the up front investment is significant compared to what I’ve paid Dropbox so far. I have to be my own resilience, redundancy, security, and and integration specialist. Can you even connect to a NAS on Android? I’d have to set up tasker or something for auto photo upload. Our power is not reliable and goes out frequently. I would have to learn how to expose it to the world outside my network. I’d have to monitor and replace dead drives. And that’s just me, while the other people on my account also need space and access, where they either have to set up their own NAS or use mine, so I’d have to look into file sequestration. I’ll have to re-automate everything to not use Dropbox APIs. There’s a much bigger mental load hidden behind “getting it up and running” that made paying someone else attractive. I’d’ve paid up to triple for continued unlimited storage, but now that there’s no option entirely and the highest limit is stupidly low, I have to rethink my entire workflow.

oh man I remember watered down gatorade being too strong when I got stupid nauseous from anemia. I had it for a weekend and I can’t imagine being like that for a month…

Wait, the cap is 15TB? I run a small image processing business and I’m right about there with my businesses data, currently.

…guess its time to NAS, but I’d really rather pay someone else than assume the hassle

Sure, but second rate employees deserve workers rights too. We should at least be careful to not build our rights on their backs.

I’d love for that to extend to professional sports, but I understand that’s probably a bit too radical, even for Lemmy.

Sure, because the Yoga has the extra screen layer to support active pens. Linux isn’t the problem.

I once had a laptop that let you upgrade the mobile graphics cards. It was incredible.

Can I come?

I tried this once in college, and even at a simplified scale, it was ridiculously difficult. The single course was half a semester’s worth of units, just on its own.

Sure, but it wouldn’t be a backdoor into your ROM.
