At this point, I’m just so sick of every little thing being a huge struggle

Suffering is inevitable. This is the first noble truth in Buddhism. Troubleshooting Linux is Tao.

Hardly ever use Windows myself, but I’m pretty sure you can just download it from Microsoft and refuse all the nags to register it when you are installing it.

and they will come with full self-driving

I love you, bot.

Linux, dovecot, postfix and a large quantity of pain medication.

Every day is pizza day here!!! That’s what makes us a “Great Place to Work” (GPTW^TM)

Would you care for a chair massage?

Concur. Also long time user here - but prefer to skip the data collection bit. Imagine showing up at the dentist some day and being chided for missing your back molars last Tuesday.

The primary use case is for making sure kids and elderly loved ones are brushing their teeth and keeping the brush charged. Also supposedly senses if all teeth are being properly cleaned, although based on reviews that sounds like a stretch. But yeah, the aggregated data is probably marketable somehow - I didn’t check their privacy policies.

Electric toothbrushes are a thing. It’s understandable that the vendors would like a rationale to track usage. Not beyond the bounds of possibility that in ten years it may be impossible to buy an electric toothbrush that doesn’t track usage and try to phone home to report it.

It was nice while it lasted. Moved to MX.

Great idea! Here’s a starbucks gift voucher for your initiative! Now if we can just figure out how to simulate pizza…

Quick! Somebody order more pizza and ping pong tables…

ahem - nobody I know will use X.

The valuable commodity is data. Think of it like eggs. The users are the chickens. Google runs the poultry farm.

great - I’d be interested to hear if this works for you.

had issues with Remmima and Win 10 last week - worked around it by using xfreerdp directly at the command line. this is what I use from a linux command line to set the resolution and sound (audio-mode:1 is same as Remmima local sound, or supposed to be)

xfreerdp /w:1680 /h:1050 /u:<username> /audio-mode:1 /v:<ip address> /sound /microphone

this keeps all audio local on the system, which is what I need.

Remmima was working fine until I messed with the settings to see if I could have both local and remote audio with RDP (you can’t) and then I could not get the local audio back no matter what I did - tried deleting profile, reinstalling, etc. Nothing worked until invoking xfreerdp directly. Been flawless since then.

the best part…

“The CaliExpress by Flippy location will also double as a pseudo-museum experience presented by Miso Robotics. Guests can see dancing robot arms, experimental 3D-printed artifacts, photographic displays and more.”

pull the other one.

If you were taught on a typewriter, you double space for life. It’s impossible to stop once ingrained.
