That's on RCX. I don't know for certain about the NXT 1 or 2, but the EV3's VM is called LMS2012

As a human recipient, how can I be sure if an email is coming from AgentMail or not?

> All these changes have got some partners “feeling let down and misled by OpenAI,” a person familiar with Microsoft’s decision said. Thankfully, the software giant has stepped in on some of the projects that the startup has supposedly abandoned. One source told the publication that money is not unlimited, no matter what Sam Altman might say, while another said that they prefer Microsoft over OpenAI as a tenant, as “they are more creditworthy.”

Reminds me of that New Yorker Sam Altman article

Looks like my "waiting period" prediction was right

That's going to be really annoying when exporting tasker scripts as APKs for relatives

New comment by kurtoid in "Netdata is a seriously impressive server monitoring tool"

kurtoid — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 10:17:38 +0000

I used to love netdata, but right around dashboard v3 I switched to Prometheus+grafana

I still miss the no-fuss configuration and the anomaly detection was well done, but I just can't do the required cloud thing it does now

kurtoid — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 08:10:49 +0000

My guess is the 'high-friction' part is some kind of mandatory waiting period of 1 to 3 days
