"Getting it to at least run BASIC" is a common theme with DIY enthusiasts. Why is that?

It's been awhile since I last checked mine. I noticed my corporate work history was all there, at the level of detail OP mentioned. Where as the warehouse, construction, and bartending jobs were not.

The other one to check is LexisNexus, which covers auto insurance coverage and traffic violations. In the US, gov't tracked traffic citations fall off after 5 years, but last forever in the baby credit bureaus we're discussing.

Also, INTERPOL. You never know...

Indeed

Servers for mining companies?

Just curious if the hospital still exists there. Do you know?

To answer your question, yes you could certainly do that and override what ever the physical thermostat was set to. You could also set max hours per day (kWh)for usage or adjust for variable rate plans. As with anything you'd need to test.

Edit: Looking through the repo and the article I see nothing blocking you. You certainly won't break anything!

Columbia River near the dam back in the 90s. A family friend was an underwater diver for the state doing repair work. Very low visibility and deep water along the dam face. He was working down there and something moved. The way he described it was 'I reached out and rested my hand on the wall. Then the whole wall moved, and swam away'.

For awhile I self-hosted adguard dns server. It supports iphone profiles thus forcing iOS DNS. I eventually disabled it due to timeout issues specific to iOS. Issue was something DNSSEC related.

While reproing the issue I noted the average recursor round trip time from my OVH server hosted in Oregon to the default upstream DNS - Quad9 - was around 70ms. When I changed it to Hurricane Electric the roundtrip dropped to a steady 20ms. Later I changed it again to Cloudflare and the roundtrip was a consistent 2 to 3ms.

I understand the question and the environment you're alluding to re RF noise and AP distance from clients, etc. in a warehouse environment.

By default clients will always try to connect at the highest wifi standard and link rate, regardless of that connection type's qos level.

I've not seen an AP setup where the wifi standard (a, b, g, N, 5, 7, ...), channel size (20 vs 40mhz), channel, and in some cases speed stepping, couldn't be forced at the AP.

If you force the APs to only broadcast G, each on a specific channel, (literally just an example for discussion) the clients will connect that way if the device radio supports it,while re-using existing auth credentials. No client-side changes are necessary here and thus easy to test. I've encountered device radios that are only 5GHz, but that'd be clear in your testing. Forced AP settings do wonders for wireless networks.

Regarding user's opinions, they may claim to need the latest and greatest but in real life if their network use only needs megabits and the connection type satisfies that, they don't notice. And you don't tell them. :-)

I use bookmarklets for a number of simple things.

My most used is to copy text where the formatting has been stripped, the bookmarklet prepends formatting instructions, and then I paste the whole thing into claude which sorts the formatting.

Me thinks I've underestimated what can be done with these.

Yes I agree. This idea differs from an OS dependent shortcut in that here the mouse firmware would generate movement data. Not possible before now.

I think that's a myth. I've never gotten it to work repeatedly.

After my Aura died I bought a 10" Kindle. I never use it. I keep wanting to buy another Kobo but used inventory is minimal and the store is sold out.
