Hotel/Business Signage TV may be a good options, but they may lack speakers and be considerably more costly and harder to procure

Can this be used with proxmox?

I remember using lynx at school, since they only let A+ level students use the X11 GUI. And then later on using elinks which was a bit more featureful on my own servers...

LOL, I've been using it since Netscape Navigator 3.0 Gold, via Mozilla M3 (SeaMonkey tech preview), Phoenix, Firebird, and then finally Firefox :D

It can track devices via their Bluetooth radiation. A lot of devices use randomized MAC addresses though, but probably not all.

I found a great sense of unease watching Scavengers Reign. So much so I haven't finished it yet...

Create a holding company and register some trademarked design. Apply said design to the product. License the design to the manufacturer.

When the manufacturer wants to destroy unsold stock - revoke the license to the design. You can now fully legally destroy unsold stock for "violating ip rights"

I think paperless devs are working on AI integration, and there are 3rd party solutions. I'm holding out for an official one, so far.

It's pretty cool, I've set up a share where the scanner scans, and it automatically picks it up from there and ingests it into the system.

They have some `curl | bash` type installation, which doesn't really fit my set-up. They say "email us if you have any questions", so I've emailed several months ago and I'm still waiting for a response.

Amazing. And with SSO out of the box without weird "Oh, SSO is Enterprise only" BS.

My buddy and I were playing a bunch of years back, unaffiliated with a big corp, just doing our own thing in mid-sec systems. They added wormhole diving into w-space in one of the updates, and we decided to try it out, which was pretty fun. We both made enough resource to fly Drakes at the time.

In one of the wormhole there was an ambush, I got blown up but my buddy managed to lose them, but didn't leave the system. He started talking to them in local chat, and in the end we ended up joining them. We were playing together for a while after, but life ultimately took over for me. My buddy remained for a while. He was a long-haul trucker and would play in his downtime from various truck stops across US and Canada.

I was so annoyed that the Linksys cable modem, that came in the exact same color scheme was not stackable with the routers. You had a wifi router and a non wifi router in the same exact case with same exact front panel. But no, the modem was completely different form factor.

Why do they always have to look like some unholy blend of a cybernetic spider and a Knight Rider? What happened to a plain unassuming looking piece of industrial hardware...

A silly bit of code that rejects emails from an entire AS, if it gets particularly annoying spam-wise.
