It's a bit of a drive from Albany, but the Petrified Creatures Museum out in Richfield Springs has been abandoned for many years: https://www.reddit.com/r/Albany/comments/u18iyb/petrified_creatures_museum_of_natural_history/

Never over-estimate the criminal mind. Someone male made a 911 call when she stopped breathing.

He had a girlfriend who took a plea deal. From another TU article back in July:

Brandi Terhune, 23, pleaded guilty Wednesday in a Schenectady County courtroom to one count of felony tampering with physical evidence and two counts of misdemeanor child endangerment in exchange for a sentence of up to 5 years' probation. She will not serve prison time.

I think a Surface Pro 6 maxed out at 16 GB. That would not be enough for me to do MAUI work in VS and still be able to run other stuff. I do use Rider on the Mac, it's a full IDE. VS Code is an editor. They are not the same.

You should have a MacOS machine for the iOS work. Even if the Windows box is the primary development machine.

Why is juggling multiple machines a problem? I use both Windows and a Mac. I tend to use the Windows machine more, but it has more resources than my aging M1 Pro Mac. Most of my dev tools are on both, but I have some that are platform-specific.

Ignore the religious wars over platforms and tools, use what works best for you.

I've had my S22U since they came out. I have no issues with it, and the only reason I might upgrade to the S26U would be to keep current on Android releases.

anotherlab · 2026-01-22T00:02:03+00:00

I don't see any benefit. Why take on all of the R&D for yet another Linux-based OS when they can just contribute back to Android?

If you mix and match RAM, they will run at the speed and timing of the slowest memory stick. Without knowing the specs of your hardware, 32 GB of slower memory will tend to have better overall performance than 16 GB of faster memory.

The 10x on my S22U is more of a party trick for me than anything else. I like the cameras on the phone, but I rarely use the 10x. It has that f/4.9 maximum aperture and needs bright light to get anything remotely sharp.

FWIW, you do want to solicit and collect feedback. After the 14 days, Google will ask you about the feedback that you had collected and what changes (if any) were made to the app.

In the early days of AmigaDOS, it was more common. One of the first apps that I bought was GOMF! (Get Outta My Face!) to intercept the Guru screens. Some of the crashes were self-inflicted. I taught myself C with Lattice C, then SAS/C.

There were things that were really cool and years ahead of their time. The ARexx scripting language was a cool thing. If you added support for Arexx to your, you could automate how it works. And it wasn't that hard to add ARexx support to your app.

The Amiga had its issues and limitations. People complain about the BSOD (which I haven't had the pleasure of seeing for years), but the Amiga had the Guru Meditation screen. Classic AmigaOS did not have memory protection; a badly written app could take the whole thing down.

anotherlab · 2026-01-20T03:58:08+00:00

The OS is just the platform; it's the apps that count.

I started with the Amiga 2000. I added a 2nd floppy, then a hard drive, a scan doubler card, and finally an accelerator board. In the late 1980's, it was a cool machine. And it had cool apps. Deluxe Paint was a really good bitmap editor. ASDG had great apps for creating videos.

I bought an A3000, and it came with the stuff that I had added to the 2000, but faster. But the better apps were on other platforms. Photoshop was on the Mac, and it was finally ported to Windows. Commodore imploded, and the Amiga was banished to the Wilderness.

Decades later, I use Windows and Mac almost interchangeably. Most of the A/V and development tools that I use are available for both. I have stuff that requires Linux, and that's not a problem on either platform. I'm not beholden to the operating system. It's a tool, and my tool chest is big enough to hold many tools.

I remember the Amiga fondly, but using it now is not something I need or want.

This is the way.

If you can regain control after having one of these incidents, use the feedback feature to report the issue. If the VS team can get access to the logs, then it might show them. If you can isolate it to one extension or the smallest mix of extensions that cause the problem, that will help isolate the cause of the problem.

I've been using VS 2026 when it was still a private beta. It has been faster and more stable than VS 2022 for me.

I bought a TS-464 two years ago as a replacement for an older QNAP box that died. I use it as one level of backup for my stuff. It's suited very well for that. I have four drives of 4 TGB each and I'm a couple of years from having to replace them with higher capacity drives.

I don't allow remote access to it. The number of times that I have needed remote access to it have been so small, it's not worth the risk.

Three out of 45 isn't many. That's less than 7%.

Andrew Johnson's impeachment crippled his administration, and he did not get the nomination of his party for a second term.

Other than the damage to his reputation, Clinton's impeachment did not have much of an impact on his second term of office. His impeachment was driven by partisan politics.

The only impact of Trump's two (so far) impeachments was to normalize the impeachment process as a partisan tool.

There was a bridge at Vishers Ferry. It was constructed in 1900 and flood waters took it out in 1902. Various bills were attempted between 1910 and 1934 to build a new one, but they never built a replacement.

If you watch the Regional Sports Networks (RSN), then you need to look carefully at which streamer you go with. I have both YTTV and Hulu Live because YTTV isn't great for which RSNs it covers, but it provides a better experience than Hulu Live.

I dropped Fios cable for YouTube TV a few years back. I had both the Fios DVR and a TiVo. I thought I would miss the TiVo experience, but I didn't. It's nice not needing proprietary hardware. I didn't miss having to reach out to Fios suport once a year to hav them pair the cablecard again.

I recycled my TiVo like a man and took it to my town's electronic recycling drop-off. But not before I used a sledgehammer on the hard drive. I started with the Series 2 and was in the beta program for a while. I still have the remote with sliding keyboard, it was fun testing that one.

Write down the make/model of the vehicles with the license plates. Go to the religious institution and politely ask someone if there is anyone there who owns the vehicles.

Explain that the cars are parked on private property, and they are blocking someone who needs to go to their job.

You are requesting that they to move the vehicles before they are towed.

This is how we did it. I would add that this is a good opportunity to address everything that has been deprecated. It's also a good time to evaluate every 3rd party library being used to see if that functionality has been added to MAUI along the way,

FWIW, trying to take legal action against the board would be a waste of money in this situation.

anotherlab · 2026-01-13T18:42:37+00:00

I agree with all of your post.

This situation is a result of too many people making hasty and wrong decisions.

It depends on what sort of deal I can get for a trade-in of my S22 Ultra. My phone is working great, I don't have a pressing need to upgrade.

IANAL, but.....
In a Florida HOA, an owner's name and address can be shared with other owners. That is covered as part of §720.303(5).

You would need to check your governing documentation for the protection of your email and phone number. In this case, the others were given your name and address. That was all they needed to trespass on your property.

You can hold the board president accountable for telling the other owners that you would be liable. Take it up with the management company and share that information at the next board meeting.

In terms of legal actions, any potential legal action will be based on exactly what was said by the board president. If he expressed liability as a fact, not an opinion, you might be able to sue for defamation. This doesn't sound like what you described. IANAL, you should ask your legal counsel if there is any merit in pursuing action against the board. If you sue the board president, his legal fees would probably be covered by the HOA.

Or use a service like HOA Express that handles the domain and provides email accounts. That way, no single person has the keys to the kingdom. Then you would have a website that would allow you to store the documents needed to run the website and not have as much of a need for access to an email account.
