18 days agoJust having driveway alarms can be useful. Battery motion sensors trigger a chime on the base unit. Enough to give you an alert that something needs to be checked.

2·23 days agoI should add that I do use it for backups, it’s a great program, but I’ve only ever used it for one-way scheduled syncs.
I’ve sometimes found that it just stops syncing on one phone. And I did turn off battery management.
I need something that’s reliable.
I use resilio, but recently it used 20% battery in 6 hours overnight, when nothing needed syncing.
Is there any way for it to sync from desktop to Android immediately when a file changes on the PC?
31·1 month agoLast year they announced a price increase to the 365 subscription along with adding copilot features.
It turned out that they had actually kept the non-copilot version at the original price as a hidden “legacy” subscription.
So they were just tricking people into paying for the copilot upgrade.
Ghost In The Shell (2017) with the Ki Theory soundtrack.
I love slow remixes of 80s music.
Why don’t they let the people who make the trailers make the movies!
Oh, I should add that the plug in the 2nd pic is what keyboard connectors were back then (PS/2 connector).
This is dated 2017, so must have been through a few phone-to-phone days transfers to be on my current one.
But in my main store of files that’s synced across machines, I have this from 1999
Memes were still finding their feet back then.
0·3 months agoI wish that they’d had a startup screen that said “it’s now dangerous to turn off your computer”.
4·3 months agoI found a setting to switch the key functions, but it still doesn’t help with the other differences. I just have to learn to mentally change gears when using a Mac.
Moving the cursor by words, for example, is ctrl-cursor on PC, but option-cursor on Mac. So switching Ctrl/Fn doesn’t help with that.
Not to mention tapping on the screen to select something does not go well on the Mac…
The immediate regret will be when they discover that Ctrl isn’t where they expect it to be, followed by the discovery that it doesn’t get used for copy and paste anyway.
A few years ago we were discussing how some companies were trying 4-day weeks and someone said that they’d like to try four 10-hour days instead of five 8-hour.
They could not imagine that it meant working fewer hours.
I’ve used bookshop.org which sells ebooks and has a reader, but you can nominate a local bookstore to get part of the profit.
That sounds worth investigating, thanks! Amcrest needs an account for notifications afaik, but the Pro cameras can work just on a local network.
The app for them is awful. Then they made a new version that is awful in slightly different ways, so I’m interested in new options.
It mentions push notifications and emails, so I guess they must require an account, or can you configure them to use SMTP directly, as with the Amcrest Pro cameras?
Not really hacking, but in the 90s you could usually just connect to a mail server and it would believe what you told it.
If you were careful you could just type an email directly: MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, etc.
I would write scripts at work to send spoof emails sometimes, you could put anything as the FROM address, like “info @ catfacts” or whatever.
Another “not really hacking” example is that when some companies first got an Internet connection, they would just allocate public IP addresses to everyone, no gateway or firewall. So you could browse any non-passworded smb shares just knowing the IP.
It’s probably that a designer would have to ask a programmer to create scripting features to make a train work.
Or the could get the job done by using what they had instead of having to wait for someone else to write new code.
“Minus 400 lines of code created today.”
I found that the resilio mobile app would use up a lot of battery at night (sometimes about 10% an hour).
Syncthing was better for that, but would sometimes just stop updating on a phone. I would check and it would have not been syncing for weeks and be signed out of the web UI.
