That's what I thought. VPN.AC is in the same price range with servers around the world. Works great to get out of the GFW when on business trips in China, but also great to unblock sites when Iâ(TM)m on our corporate LAN at home.
This!
I hate to quote Steve Jobs, but when he launched the iTunes Music Store he said the way to compete with piracy is to offer a service that is easier and better than Snapster, or at least easy and good enough that people think it's worth paying for, and I think he hit the nail on the head.
Let that be a warning that if offers start to suck again, we'll easily revert back to torrenting, if you don't make it worthwhile.
TL;DR
So itâ(TM)s purist ideology vs. Realpolitik.
Or as they say âoein theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.â
So they went with this, at least Excel will be more in the news in the near future. They should also throw in jQuery and React, for good measure. If youâ(TM)re supporting JS go all the way!
Same here. I always thought they were pricey and went with all the cheaper choices. Buffalo, Netgear, you name it. First of all the setup was always a pain in the butt via browser UIs that looked like a nightmare from the 90s without any consideration of usability. And then these things were really unstable. I had to reboot them sometimes several times a week to get them back to normal.
Then I first bough an Airport Express, because I wanted to use AirPlay audio, but I fell in love with it, because of its simplicity and how stable it was. I made it my main router. Then a few years later got me a Time Capsule, mostly for backups over WiFi for the whole family. I didn't have to worry about them losing any data, and they didn't have to do anything to make it happen.
These two devices have been rock solid. Zero issues. Remote access from outside the LAN is fantastic. I really don't want to go back anymore This is a real bummer. I've got a Synology NAS and I'll probably just pop in a WiFi dongle if I ever need to replace my Time Capsule, but man it's a real shame that Apple abandons all the places where they really made a big difference.
Bluetooth audio is still laggy AF. I think AirPlay via WiFi is way better, that's why I love my Airplay Express router. If you play back the Auido from even an old Apple TV (mine is 2nd or 3rd gen) via AirPlay it does it flawlessly, perfectly in sync.
I used to use Backblaze for cloud backups. Back then I was "only" backing about 200GB. When I tried to restore the data it took almost a week. And I'm on a 1Gbps fibre optic line.
My Time Capsule would do the same in a few hours at worst, or if I plug my Mac directly into the Ethernet port of the Time Capsule even faster. Cloud backup is just no solution for full HD backups. Nowadays my internal HD is 1TB and almost full. I'd never consider cloud backups for that. It's just not practical. I have a Time Capsule (3TB) for the whole family, I also backup my machine infrequently to a directly attached local hard disk (2TB). And for my most important files from my home folder, I'm also using Synolgoy Drive that syncs its content to my Synology NAS (4TB). I've restored backups to new Macs many times and it just works flawlessly. The wireless "local" backup is just so nice, because you don't need to remember to plug a drive in or do anything for it and it's fast enough to not be impractical like cloud backup solutions.
The easiest solution I could imagine is get a Synology NAS, which has a point and click UI via your browser and you can setup TimeMachine backups via point and click, however this is still a complex process and not for the casual user
And considering that the cheapest Synology NAS isn't particularly much cheaper than an Time Capsule and you'll need a compatible WiFi dongle to also make it work as a wireless router it's not really an alternative. The cheapest NetGear NAS seems to be even more pricey.
So if people call the Time Capsule overpriced, I'd love to see any other NAS what is as easy to setup with the same features for a comparable price.
I always thought quantum computing was mainly based on quantum entanglement. So is that wrong or is quantum computing simply a pie in the sky project topped with a lot of BS?

Unless it's the "good" racism and sexism for a "greater good" like being against white males. And recently against Asians because the outperform everyone else and are shining beacons of meritocracy. Can't have that. Didn't fit the non-whites are victims narrative.

BitChute, no?

This is the first time I noticed that theyâ(TM)re not 20th Century Fox anymore...
A, THAT, public? That's probably not the public inclined to visit a website with the same name as the infamous communist propaganda newspaper.
Things that have the word 'truth' (Pravda is truth in Russian) in the title or name, usually have very little of it in its content or substance.
Sounds like a successful predator.
That's what I thought. It's actually a slight improvement. At least they stopped blatantly lying to us and themselves.
They should've named it POSIX IS NOT POSIX, and go with PINP/Linux.
If you want to argue on the basis of amount of data taken in your system we'd probably have to call it Porn/Linux then.

Might as well be Ubuntu...

But turning off 99.98% of lusers is the point â" these people are not worthy of Linux anyway, and we wouldnâ(TM)t want to have them defile Linux.

And the Synology Audio Station software also supports AirPlay playback just fine.
You can buy a Synology NAS at use it as a Time Machine backup station. Wired or wireless.

Power and muh feewings matter to them.
Europe is now getting close to the point where the value added tax is more expensive than the actual value added, though.
