Tablets aren't a baby sitter.

But denying your kids access to them until a certain age and then turning them loose and wishing them good luck is harming them so much more.

My example I always go back to is schools and banning cell phones. My school had an outright ban. You walk into school, you shut the phone off and put it in your locker. Which at its face, kind of makes sense. But then I went to college and nobody cared about my phone. I spent my first semester on my phone near constantly. I had to take weeks to teach myself that, while having my phone is nice, I still need to pay attention in class.

Technology exists to better our lives and outright denying children from learning HOW to use it properly is going to be to their detriment.

Welp. When democrats lose next election and sit around asking what went wrong and nobody within the party can answer it..... somebody should make a sign with article.

Really glad everyone learned from Trump and learned to change!

I'll be the first to admit to not paying much attention to Linux vulnerabilities, but I agree, I feel like a vulnerability in a package like sudo would have been huge news.

Cases like this make it so difficult. As rule, I think capital punishment is wrong. But then someone like this guy who, whether his time in the military made him one or he was just a broken individual, is a monster and shouldn't exist shows up. It's wrong to treat any prisoner inhumanly, but damn is it hard to say this dude should have spent all of his time on death row in a metal box with not even a bed.

I still say that the death penalty should not exist, but I'm not going to give this guy a second thought today.

I've used it about 2 years now. I have both Jellyfin and even had Invidious for a while. I don't even know it was against any terms until right now.

Dudes not worth my time to look this up for sure, but I'm fairly certain the statement was they'd support any Linux distro.

I don't think buddy knows the difference between a Linux version and a Linux distro.

Well luckily for us all it's not :-)

Most ISPs (especially smaller ones it seems) just run a basic DHCP server with leases expiring at a set interval. As long as your stuff is on and working when the lease renews, you'll pull the same IP forever.

Dang. Not the company I was hoping.

If they're using an eero router, I'm going to assume you'll just have an ethernet cable from an ONT then into the router. Ask the installer if you need to use the eero or can you install your own router. That may alleviate some of your concerns.

I work for an ISP and self host. I have more things in place to track my usage than any ISP would put just because I make myself the guinea pig for new equipment and want to know exactly what is happening. You will never use a full 8 gig (at least as of now, obviously in the future that will change). If the extra money isn't an issue do it, but if you can "girl math" the $30 price difference, stick with that for a year and spend the extra $360 you saved on multi-gig networking equipment, that's what I'd do.

Yes please. What is QRD? Don't need much details, just a quick intro.
