You’ve described NAS in general. It’s more than just file system. Plex gives you Media Library indexing, web app, mobile and TV apps to play content from your NAS, from anywhere in the world (it even includes Relay, in case you don’t have public IP or accessing NAT traversal).

All that is true except almost no sunglasses made with the glass lenses. It’s almost all plastic with UV shielding layer.

Rotorwings are also not found in the nature yet they give us ability to navigate in a short distance 3D space better than fixed wing.

it's a privacy feature. I don't want to share my name with someone who doesn't have my contact.

It sounds completely surreal to have cameras and face id everywhere, but this is already done by our phones (face recognition) and GPS tracking, full surveillance of any messaging activity (with rare exceptions) for no good reason other than selling ads. Having less gun violence and deadly police interactions can actually use this technology for something better than just ads served by corporations (and also sell this data to anyone who pays). We should be careful about who can access these systems though.

Which one do you recommend? Namecheap literally kicked me out (with 1 month deadline to transfer my domain) because I happen to have wrong passport color.

This is a real struggle for a lot of people, myself included. Hence the hype.

It's interesting, since it could be very dry east, but it has most humid/rainy area in US (Hilo). One of the most fascinating islands in my opinion.

> That's a barrier to entry that doesn't exist in the PC ecosystem.

Unless you're using some native language like C++ and cross-platform UI framework like QT or js/Electron you have even bigger diversity problem in the PC ecosystem. There are Windows (x86/arm), macOS (x86/arm), linux (variable desktop environments), Chrome OS, ...

You would need to provide builds for all the OS and hopefully also provide Store versions (Windows Store, AppStore, Snap)

Yep, still missing classic theme. But Metro apps takeover made everything obsolete.

That is so nostalgic. Aero Glass and Aqua fall in very special time in our lives when technology was rapidly improving and becoming widespread.

Actually, that's not a half bad idea. If phone interview is passed, on-site time should be paid since the market is too hot. I wasted about 5 hours with Google (I did get an offer after the interview) but it was horrible experience (2019). Maybe if I was paid for that time I could at least justify this incredible time-waste. For example, companies do pay for people to fly-in for onsite interviews, so they do have budget for that.

UPD: I have provided negative feedback to my recruiter and they still reaching out to me. Really doubt companies ever act on any of candidate feedbacks since candidates are not employee (I know my previous company didn't, asking for feedback was just a "wanna look good in your eyes" question).

Perhaps offtop, Is there at least 1 browser for Android that supports per-page zoom? Safari does it on iOS with a super simple setting, but the only way to increase font size in ANY of Android browsers is to increase scale in Accessibility which will break some websites with larger fonts. I feel like this is super basic feature that I can't find.
