I did not find anything about the security of scanned documents or how they are destroyed on the iPostal1 website. Have you inquired about how they handle their digital document security?

If Value does the work to get Game Pass on Linux working I don't think Microsoft would mind too much.

Yes, I think this could actually be a good product, or at least something similar to it for anyone who suffers from OCD. I think a lot of smart devices can help people.

Maybe there is a better product though.

Have you reached the construction robot tech? It removes the requirement to place items by hand, and the game largely turns into a "planner" game.

A lite touch to anything shouldn't activate something in a car. Drivers are effectively blind to anything else in the car while driving and controls should be design in such a way that the use of the drivers eyes are not required.

Keep the drivers eyes on the road.

I also find that far to often people think another person is not smart because they don't measure up to themselves in the same intelligence categories. I always try to describe this as the categories intelligence being disturbed across sphere where each category is a tangential line. Due to ones own perspective, another may not actually look intelligent because they're orthogonal to ones own, and they are then perceived to be "stupid".

My first question was how to share a presentation. Though I guess maybe this is targeted at user who wouldn't do this themselves? I don't know how realistic this is, particularly for a home device. Presenters not in control of the slide deck never seems to work.

On the specs sheet it does have an HDMI in, so I'd assume you can use it like a display, and share the input? It doesn't appear to be highlighted anywhere though.

This also surprised me. A large part of it I'm sure has to do with the fact that I'd assume (given these numbers) urllib2 auto follows redirection. The request is to `http://` so it must make an additional request. Otherwise I'd expect them to be much higher as there would be no 'body' to the responses.

Ya, I didn't understand this design choice. For a while I've had some custom css which also extends the width of the main content on github as well because I've always found reading some github issues with logs in them challenging.

This is the css I'm running now to fix this, as well as extend the width of the main content. The 1600px is such that when using i3 and having my browser be half the screen it consumes most of the screen space on my 4k monitor.

    :root {
        --width: 1600px;
    }

    .container-xl {
        max-width: var(--width);
    }
    .pagehead {
        padding-left: calc(50% - (var(--width) / 2));
        padding-right: calc(50% - (var(--width) / 2));
    }

They are trying to train their user base to moderate content correctly. If it's against the sites policy, users should down-vote the content and report it.

YouTube is where I watch almost all of my educational / "reality tv" (vlogging, mostly makers) content. Netflix has some pretty good stuff every once in a while, but it has nothing on YouTube. Educational television of the 90s and early 2000s seems to have reinvented itself on YouTube with channels like The Great War, Tested, all of the PBS channels (Space Time, Physics Girl, Infinite Series, etc), Vsauce, 3Blue1Brown, Veritasium, SciShow, all the cooking shows, metal fabrication, music history, history in general. Far to many amazing to name here, but I think I subscribe to at least 30 rather high quality channels that I'd place under "education". I really don't care much for saving music, but I'm getting pretty close to starting to archive some of my favourite channels / series in case they disappear.

I for the most part don't watch Netflix or Hulu anymore. When a big show comes along I'll watch it, but I really enjoy watching other people talk about things they love.s

Curious, why fallback to /1.1 over /2?
