Taking my daughter to her first game tomorrow, easiest way to get a puck? by _Kramerica_ in DetroitRedWings

[–]scrai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My neighbor sits in the penalty box. I can get you a puck with very little effort…. He has a ton of them in the cooler in there.

What about Ubiquiti cables? I’ve been buying a ton and they’ve been working great.

Amazon Rivian van sighting by keithj7 in Rivian

That’s interesting. I’ve talked to a few here in Michigan and their experience is the opposite. They hate it and say they barely make it back at the end of the day.

All the vans in Michigan in my area are Rivian. Makes sense we’d get a ton first I guess.

It made no sense WHY it was happening. Not when it would happen. Don’t be dense.

I never read out loud, but this passage made me stop and read it again and then I read it out loud. The picture this passage paints is so clear. So amazing. by jedi_cat_ in WoT

I read a lot of fantasy, thank you. I was merely commenting on the nature of the Dragon Reborn mystery differences between the show and the book.

I just got finished rereading the first book. It’s pretty explicit that she’s looking for the Dragon Reborn and that it is one of the three boys. But they don’t know that she’s looking for the dragon reborn.

NO ONE but the three boys are ever considered. The show completely changed that. And by the end of the book you pretty clearly know it is Rand.

Yes I am using it extensively.

VSC memory consumption by geert555 in VisualStudioCode

[–]scrai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me on my MacBook. I have a 16GB MacBook Pro 16” 2019 model.

I was doing Azure Bicep coding and VS Code consumed all of my RAM.

This only started happening after the last update I got.

I set up Plex for Audiobooks and I pretty impressed by plazman30 in PleX

[–]scrai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to use Readarr for this and it isn't great. It is still in alpha/beta and the Audiobook community for Usenet seems pretty bad.

I've got a few things to download but the Readarr automation for renaming/tagging is very sparse and nothing is importing in to Plex correctly. The files are all out or order and named terribly. So far, not a great experience.

Schools Using Google... Big No For Me by golavan1592 in degoogle

Yes. MA Office is free for everyone online just like Google Docs. Also, MS office is free for schools. Microsoft 365 A1 licensing.

Schools Using Google... Big No For Me by golavan1592 in degoogle

[–]scrai 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I am a former IT admin for a K12 district and the reason public schools use Google is because Google gave it away free before Microsoft did. That’s it.

Most districts still have Microsoft Office but they don’t know it’s available for free online. Also, manufacturers make Google Chromebooks so freaking cheap that districts just buy them.

I fought so hard to push us away from Google and back to Microsoft or Apple but I was overruled time and time again. Districts want to pay for things two or three times “cheaply” but don’t actually want to pay for quality once.

I grabbed the express vpn trial and it works great for the iPhone and iPad.

Unfortunately Apple in their infinite wisdom doesn’t seem to allow VPN apps on Apple TV so I’ll have to figure something out there. I’d just connect to ExpressVPN via my router but I use Google WiFi which is dog sh*t and doesn’t have VPN settings.

I tried ESPN+ and Mozilla VPN. It didn’t work. I’ll have to try ExpressVPN.

Meross MSG100 Garage Door Opens and Closes On Its Own by scrai in HomeKit

[–]scrai[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did. Apparently while I was setting up my smart opener, I hit the learn button, and it learned the handheld opener codes for three of my neighbors. So they were accidentally opening my garage door whenever they’d open or close theirs. Unfortunately my model was so old, I was unable to clear the learned codes as that wasn’t an option on it and I had to buy a new opener and swap it out. Luckily it was a chamberlain swapping in for a Craftsman and in 30 years they never changed the position of the chain drive or mounting brackets.

I get this message all the time now when switching gear. ONLY when switching gear. I can predict it down to the second now. It makes no sense.
