Ubiquiti has all of this as part of their Protect product line. No subscriptions.

They were/are the answer for me once i didn’t enjoy having to play troubleshooter anymore on the less polished type setups like Home assistant.

Are non-traditional TLDs (e.g. .io, .ai, .bio, etc.) more likely to be classified as spam?

No
slovette commented on Amazon made record breaking profit but still laid off more than 18000 employees (2023)   twitter.com/DanPriceSeatt... · Posted by u/ZuckMusk

I'm having a hard time figuring out what the connection is supposed to be between having a big profit and laying off employees.

My first thought is that the writer is suggesting that companies should only lay off employees when the employees 1) are financial drains and 2) are such bad financial drains that the company would otherwise go broke. A lot of people do think that way, but it doesn't actually make any sense.

I came into the comments to say this as well.

Why are these two completely different metrics being put into the same title as if they correlate in some rational way?

The answer is they don’t, but it incites irrational reactions. Which, in my mind, is what Reddit is for; not HN.

Zen and the art of bicycle maintenance... a la Pirsig? Maybe, as she works, you could read her passages from the book about bringing quality to life through wrenching bikes, of all kinds?

I run an IT firm. Pretty sure you’ve solved a huge problem with remote hardware diagnostics for us. Ordered one for test.

Thanks for making this.

And frankly, these videos are agonizing to watch even when they jump right in. I can’t effectively grep through someone’s rant when I’m trying to find information about that one aspect of a product that will make or break my purchasing decision. I don’t want to listen to someone wax poetic about the geopolitical economics of Consumer Packaged Goods when I’m trying to decide which desk to buy. It’s not that I don’t care about these things. It’s that I have other things to do too and this is time-consuming and inefficient.

This. The problem with YouTube is often enough, I’m looking for something specific that takes 10 secs to convey. I don’t want to watch a 10 min video to get the 10 secs I need.

Maybe LLM’s auto transcribing and pinning timelines to them (like loom does) is the solve.

So, is this basically N8N with an OpenAI module?

It's fraud.

I will admit that this is a relatively benign fraud for Tesla. There's no obvious victim, unlike when Tesla simply pocketed $250,000,000 of deposits for the Roadster or conned people into buying "robotaxis" which fully self drove themselves into oncoming traffic.

I don’t know a single person that bought a Tesla solely because they thought they’d be income generating “robotaxis”. Not a single one.

No one says you have to subscribe to ALL of the streaming platforms at once.

If cost is an issue, pick 1 or 2 services, watch the shows you’re interested in, then cancel those and pick 1 or 2. Rince and repeat.

You have choice with this approach and you don’t need every service offered.

slovette · 2 years ago
While perhaps a nominal iteration of improvement, cable was this way too. You didn’t have to have the $100 /month service package. There was always the $30 /mo basic cable (no guide box).

The industry simply recycling its business model in new delivery methods is a valid complaint/perception.
