Remove the SIM card to ensure it doesn’t communicate with a cellular carrier. Then go into the settings for your specific WiFi network, configure IP address manually, and remove the entry for “Router” to prevent it from talking to the Internet

No, it’s on Steam

Oh interesting! I hadn’t considered that. How does that happen?

You could just use the new one upside down, and mash that unobstructed power button to your heart’s content. You’ll have the same great access to the ports too!

Sounds like you should buy a different thing. I bought one, though. None of this keyboard stuff matters to me, since I won’t even be using a keyboard with it

I think the special button on the keyboard is a fingerprint/lock button. Not sure if the computer supports powering on by pressing any key like the MacBooks, but it certainly will wake from sleep with any key. I don’t think you’re supposed to fully power it down as part of regular use, so they can get by with a less accessible power button

You can use your own keyboard with it

You jest, but we use Launch Darkly at work, and it’s the shit. Way better than our previous home grown solution. Everyone made the same joke at first, but the value is real

He’s right, though. They’re different characters, and they look different. The curved apostrophe looks much better, especially with larger fonts. I don’t use it in casual typing, but it’s important for official copy on the Web. You can use Option-Shift-] to type it without the alt code on a Mac

Haha what? Was that reply for me? Because it doesn’t relate to anything I said. I know all about Teslas. I don’t have exorbitant expectations of it, and I don’t think of it as a luxury car. But I still like it

I also have a Tesla. Do I WANT all that associated baggage? No. Do I CARE? Also no. It’s a nice car, and I don’t regret buying it

Seems like that would foil a plugin, but I think it would effectively kill video scrubbing, or simultaneous streams, depending on how that restriction was implemented. I still don’t see this working well for YouTube

Yep. YouTube must include a manifest with each video to tell the player what time ranges are un-skippable. Baked in ads were doomed from the beginning 🤡

Come on man, you’re breaking the echo chamber. We’re here to shit on Google, not give them more money

They’ll probably include a manifest with the video, telling the player what time ranges are un-skippable. A script could hook into that, and auto-skip them

I renew my domain name the moment they let me. No way I’m losing it to some bullshit like this

I use an Apple TV 4K. For self hosted streaming, I am running Plex on a Raspberry Pi, connected to a Synology NAS, which has my media library

I mean, they’re not the embodiment of Perfection, but they get the job done

And also avoid using HDR

If you hold down the escape button, it will deny all the UAC requests as they come in. It’s pretty satisfying to watch, actually
