The bar for losing your job as a congress person or any public servant for corruption should be way lower than the bar for being sent to prison.

There's "knowing how" and there's having your mobile constantly within arms reach.

Also, her obvious corruption. Her and her husband make waaaaaaaay above average on the stock market due to her insider knowledge. But I'm sure that never affects her policy positions.

Don't forget his "lawsuit" against Media Matters.

The fact you assumed this was ideologically motivated is insane. Do you have any critical thinking skills?

There are very few Linux viruses. With its low market share, it's not a juicy target, or at least not desktop users.

I don't think it's a given and the dev has a proven track record.

...buuuuuutttt they did move to a much smaller userbase so I wonder how many ads he will need for sustainability.

Republican primary suicide.

Imperial is definitely worse, but the number of teaspoons or tablespoons to a cup (48 and 16) is useless information. Do you measure out 50 grams one gram at a time? Do you regularly use the fact that a kilometer is 100,000 cm?

The most common way to sense velocity is to have two switches at different levels and calculate the delta to see how fast it moves between them. This does require precision, though.

I'm a pianist, and pianists are often very particular about how musical keyboards feel. There doesn't appear to be a very large DIY community around it. Getting a digital keyboard to feel good has a lot of elements. It seems that it's very expensive to design and manufacture a music keyboard, let alone to do it modularly as the keyboard community has. I would expect it to require a lot of compromises that I wouldn't be willing to deal with except as a hobby project.

Synths, on the other hand, have a HUGE DIY community and that sometimes extends to making keyboards. But for me, it rarely seems worth it to fabricate a keyboard when a MIDI controller with MIDI cables or MIDI over USB can be had as cheaply as $50 or to have a really well done one for under $150.

I'd be more interested in modding an existing keyboard than I would creating my own from scratch.

I found this list of links related to diy instrument and synth making in case you're interested. https://sdiy.info/wiki/Online_resources

This is such a niche topic that you should probably seek out a traditional forum. Also, check out Look Mum No Computer for some inspiration.

Lamarckian evolution mixed with racism, wow. I'm not surprised.

Current user of Niagara here, it's just a unique option. You have favorites on a scrollable list (one app per line) and then you can scroll down an alphabetical list of all apps by letter on the side. Plus the optional subscription is $5 a year, which is actually reasonable in my opinion.

You'd have to RMA unfortunately. There is no way to calibrate one outside of the factory.

Cover the led with a scrap of electrical tape :)

Police prefer that criminal cases are resolved by compelling a confession. If a woman is told by the police they have her period data, most people would crack in that situation. Whether it holds up in court is mostly irrelevant.

It should go without saying, but never talk to police and if you're being interviewed, insist on invoking your 6th amendment right to an attorney and your 5th amendment right to remain silent. And don't engage with anything the police say.

From the context of the other two paragraphs, you can narrow down what I meant. Stripped of context it is general, yes.

Not all country code top level domains were free, just a select few. And not everyone used free TLDs, just people with tight budgets who weren't expecting to make money on their sites, as well as scammers and people who wanted to stay anonymous for other reasons.

Yes, GoDaddy is a very popular hosting company. I would do a short trial on any VPN before committing to a longer contract. It is possible that the sites you visit won't block your geographically local airvpn servers. Web hosting companies treat different servers from the same VPN differently.

Maybe I just go to different sites than you, but I run into problems accessing web sites from AirVPN fairly often. Its also possible that the AirVPN servers that you use are not blocked like they are for mine (Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, etc).

Like I said above, the best thing is to try any VPN service for a few days or a week to see whether anything annoying happens in your use case before jumping into a long term contract.

I don't know really anything about network setup, but as far as I know, your ISP should have nothing to do with it while you use a VPN.

All I had to do was change the settings on the AirVPN account on their website (logged in) and add the port to my qbittorrent settings. This is unrelated, but I also added a killswitch in qbittorrent advanced settings that stops torrenting if my vpn connection fails. After that, I went to a site like https://canyouseeme.org/ and verified my port forwarding was set up properly.

I never had to touch my router or ISP settings. My configuration is running the VPN from each device. It is also possible to set up your VPN directly on the router. That way, all traffic on the home network is through the VPN.
