There is also spyware running on them. They literally spy on what you're watching and send the info home, and the data gets sold to market to you. No thanks.

Edit.

They also connect to unprotected wifi networks to send data without your permission.

I've tried a bunch of X servers, but with a 4k display, they're all too slow to be usable. I'm settling for running WSL inside Alacritty for now.

Or even nothing goes wrong suddenly. Once, I had a vacation planned for six months and had to spend the long weekend cooped up in my hotel room overseeing a complicated migration.

Well, Amazon shows you the percent discount. I can't imagine that there are too many items over, let's say, $1000 that are at a 90% discount at any given time. Seems easy enough to flag those for manual review, especially if they are being sold by Amazon directly.

This is so great! While at Adobe, to solve some technical issues, I wrote a microservice that sat along HAProxy, providing a REST interface to manipulate the configuration, validate, and then do a graceful reload. The fact that this is now built-in is amazing, and a lot less clunky. I wish I had this in 2012; it would have saved me and my team a lot of work. And, I'm sure this solution is much better than the band-aid we built.

It's a little more complicated than that. Even with a riving knife, you can still get kickback if your blade isn't aligned properly -- and most cheaper saws need a tune-up before being used.

This is really nice, especially all the integrations. I've been using slides.com for a while, and I may switch to this. But, one feature that would be amazing would be the ability to upload to an S3 bucket. Bonus points for creating a public bucket configured correctly to view the slides. It's annoying to have to carry every possible type of dongle and fight with A/V issues at random places when you need to show a deck on hardware that you don't control. I always make sure that the content I need to show is available on any machine with an internet connection, but it takes a lot of effort sometimes.
