  • Doubtful. Without Linux running the majority of the internet, I doubt the desktop scene would look the same as it does today.

  • I'm not an expert, but any time I've needed to do this, I set up my own router as a client to the parent router, and I set my router (client) as the DMZ in the parent router. Effectively you end up with two routers that are both (more or less) connected directly to the internet, without the two networks messing with each other. It's also minimally invasive to the parent router (even old stock firmware has always had a DMZ option).

    The tricky part then is using the wireless connection as your "WAN port," rather than a physical one. In which case, as long as you can install OpenWRT on it, you should be fine.

  • Functional decor is my personal favorite. I usually have my guitars hung up (just moved, not up in the new house yet). I tried to convince my wife to let me buy two giant googly eyes and set up our central vacuum tube as a mustache, but she didn't go for it (I don't blame her, just a tad sad).

  • Isn't that great?

  • Absolute Units @sh.itjust.works

    The OG Absolute Unit, for reference

  • step down

    How about we call for his arrest and trial?

  • I'm really sorry to hear that. Sometimes life puts us in a place where we need our family, even if they're awful.

  • That all sucks. To answer your question: decide whether you really have to deal with them forever. In this case, unless I'm missing something significant, it sounds like you could cut your brother and his family out of your life. It sounds like their contributions are exclusively negative, and after going behind you and your mother's backs with the land thing, you'd be perfectly justified to cut them out.

    In short: don't deal with them.

  • I live a few miles from the border and cross at least weekly. You could generally get away with this for a handful of things, especially if you're smart about it (dispose of all packaging and tags, have an otherwise legit reason for a short visit, etc).

    But if they question you, and they determine you're intentionally lying about it, you can expect to pay additional fines and lose several hours of your life.

  • I think his autotwit (or whoever is manipulating his autotwit, maybe our real president) came up with that one.

  • Brilliant. Good setup, nice twist at the end.

  • Still a showerthought

  • Often some sort of coupling pin.

  • The main justification is that there's a decent chance the images are being used without this person's knowledge or consent. Which seems like a pretty reasonable take.

  • I work in automotive, and have done a bunch of work on the Bolt.

    Unfortunately, vehicles made in the last 5 years or so are protecting CAN bus traffic from exactly the kind of thing you're looking to do. You'd need to know exactly how to calculate certain values on your messages to be able to replicate them, plus you'd need to block out the messages from the actual OnStar ECU. This isn't really feasible, unfortunately.

    You can probably still read traffic from the OBDII port, but I don't recommend trying to send traffic (those busses are often pretty loaded up anyways) unless you have an existing tool that you could replicate exactly.

  • Oh! And if she's into puzzles, look at Islands of Insight. First person with puzzle solving as the main mechanic, but also some exploration and a bit of mystery to it.

  • I'd consider what kind of game she finds fun and compelling--that's more likely to engage her to become familiar with the mouse/keyboard combo.

    That being said, Minecraft on peaceful mode would fit and is generally approachable. Stardew Valley is pretty relaxed as well, though I don't remember whether it uses WASD specifically.

  • Yeah, but right now it's about SCOTUS. Sometimes it's other stuff.
