  @Dashrender said in Intentionally Bad Hold Music: @JaredBusch said in Intentionally Bad Hold Music: @Dashrender said in Intentionally Bad Hold Music: @JaredBusch said in Intentionally Bad Hold Music: @Skyetel People like to defend the weirdest things. The only purpose of any business is to make profit. It is not like this is a secret. Now this I most definitely disagree with. I will agree that most businesses want to make a profit - while at the same time, not trying to squeeze out every last time of legit legal profit - instead making enough profit to the CEO's/owner's happiness... You are injecting your own bias in here. The purpose of the business is to make a profit. The purpose of the CEO is to be happy. Those are not mutually exclusive things. Except that the CEO actually sets the purpose of the business - unless it's a publicly held company then it is more about profits, though the CEO can still make it not about ultimate profits. No, you are not correct. A business is about profit. The people running the business in a way that is not that, are not running a business. They are running a hobby, or a charity simply to provide employment for no reason, etc. But they are not running a business.

  @scottalanmiller said in Automation For Lights?: @Dashrender said in Automation For Lights?: @scottalanmiller said in Automation For Lights?: I sleep with a smart watch on my wrist and a phone under my pillow. I am bound to wake up. Phone under pillow would never work for me.. two things 1) I move so much the phone would be under the bed for sure, 2) it would be to muffled and I'd sleep through any vibration. The watch though... that might help. I move a lot and it stays put. I don''t have a case, so the phone is very smooth. It doesn't shift around from the pillow moving. I can wake up from vibrations from a phone a floor away so.... lucky/unlucky you... I could sleep through a tornado taking the roof off.

  @Emad-R said in Samsung One UI: @dafyre said in Samsung One UI: @JasGot said in Samsung One UI: @dafyre said in Samsung One UI: This could also work. If your carrier is Verizon, it is usually slightly more painful to do. It is, plus that means rebuilding the whole eco.. If I am going to do that, I will get a new phone too. I've been reading around different forums, I am one of several million people very unhappy about this update! Not necessarily... Root the phone, install a custom OS, and then install the Google Apps for that OS, and you're good. I just finally (after 2 years) rooted my 1st gen Pixel XL. This path is like rabbit hole, sure you feel great, but you rarely get better phone afterwards. I had Lenovo a6000 and it was amazing for flasing, very easy but you rarely get better results from the one given to you, and back in the day the community was more vibrant about flashing, now you will get literally a rom done by only 1 person. Pick and choose wisely... A good custom rom allows you to change things and eek a little bit more life out of your phone without utterly destroying your hardware. I rooted a Droid Eris and (ab)used that poor phone for 4 years. My Pixel is coming up on 3 and I'm just now rooting it. It runs better than it ever has before. I will grant you that Custom ROMs are very much YMMV!

  @marcinozga said in Linux users with iPhones / iPads: @NashBrydges That's most likely direct connection. Plex uses UPnP and NAT-PMP to open ports on router, otherwise you simply cannot connect directly. If you stream through relay, that's where limitation is in place. I have UPNP + NAT-PMP enabled. I'll disable them and test things out when I have a chance.

Big difference in the amount of solar power you can count on getting! I'm NE Ohio. I am only planning on using the light in the shed for about 5-7 hours a week and about 1-2 hours at one time. Well shoot, we should say hello sometime. I'm on the east side of Cleveland. Absolutely. In our PM, I mentioned B-Spot. Lola Burger and Reissdorf beer Edit: Sorry, Apparently I was thinking B-Spot and forgot to actually type it. I only mentioned grabbing a beer. My bad. Hrm, should we start #mangomeetups? I don't see why not. More than 1 in some places of the world could be considered a group. Then we label it a MangoMeetup!

  Simply, I think he separates the "business" from the "practice" of whatever the profession is. Reminds me of the E-myth series...

  With subs, there isn't really any voice matching concerns. You would just make sure that the crossover was enough to compensate for the rest of the speakers' ranges. If they are small and have no mid, you would want to have a sub that can mostly fill in that higher range. Also, line (RCA) vs speaker wire pass-throughs. SVS and Outlaw and even BIC would be good for budget-minded installs.

  Any model S10 seems so very expensive compared to the Sony Xperia AX2 Ultra I just picked up (yes, the Motorola is finally in the bin where it belongs!) At $250, it's a lot of phone for the money.

  I've used it a couple of times, but since I started using the DC series of drives it's pointless. Only for their consumer class drives. It's great for firmware and secure erase if you have a compatible drive.

I gotcha. I corrected that after you're post. It's a great discussion to have because as you look at coding, it'll be really important to understand which things you like and don't like and know which parts are programming and which are not.

  @WrCombs If you're using serial / RS232, I'm guessing that your driver might be outputting in ASCII and might need to be set to ANSI or from 8 bit to 7 bit. Check these against other sites and see what you come up with. The repeated characters are representations of solid lines or simple graphics via the various protocols. At least I've run into this before with a telnet app that we use here.

Not just Europeans. Basically the US and Mexico have the unhealthiest diets in the world. Everyone eats better than we do, on average (of those who have enough food.) Also, some of the bad ingredients are simply illegal to use in food here. Like what? you mean the pre-packaged chemicals for anti-spoilage? I'd be OK with that... though, my wife wouldn't be - she hates the grocery store, frankly I can't believe she has signed up for in home delivery of groceries or order ahead they bring to your car, groceries. One big one off the top of my head is high fructose corn syrup Just did a quick google search and it popped this up from livingstrong website. "Contrary to common opinion, high fructose corn syrup isn't banned in Europe. Referred to as isoglucose or glucose-fructose syrup in this region, use of high fructose corn syrup is restricted because it's under a production quota.'' It would be nice if it was limited in the US. I was referring to Sweden specifically, though. But there are others. 1.3% difference - that really doesn't seem like that much.

If not, Mesh Central might be a real life saver - then you could remote in and run these commands. No driving required. What do you meant "Remote access solution"? if the question is "DO i have remote access" ? then the answer is yes .

  LazyLibrarian will search and initiate downloads of books, and once download completes it will add it to Calibre library. It's not a software to manage you collection of purchased books, its purpose is to find books on usenet and torrent sites and send these to download clients. It's like Sonarr or Radarr, but for ebooks.
