Prosthetist. I work with patients to make and fit artificial limbs to them.

Aaaaand yes, this judge was another Trump appointee.

I don't think I realized that was a limitation because I've been using the Vaultwarden fork. https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden

IIRC There's an issue with the retiming chips that retransmit the USB4 signals over to the A style and how they're able to interact with the rest of the system. It causes the chips to stay awake and waste energy. The same issue is present on the AMD 13 framework; something to do with the AMD USB4 implementation. The 3.2 ports don't have the same issue.

Basically the port will still work in that configuration but the battery life will suffer.

Even on the Windows side of things they're frustrating. Company took my perfectly working Thinkpad and replaced it last September with an "upgraded" Dell Inspiron laptop. It's a piece of crap. Wakes up all the time in my bag, randomly drops wifi, and randomly drops ViewSonic monitors. Official IT solution: this happens sometimes, we don't know why, and we're going to send you Dell monitors instead.

*Edit I guess it's actually a Precision, not Inspiron. I don't buy Dells so I don't know all the names!

I've been using obsidian-livesync for a couple months now. Works great cross-platform since it runs directly out of my Vault and doesn't cost $8/mo. Mine is running on fly.io right now but I may eventually move it to my own machine. https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync/

I can't help feeling like Obsidian really missed the mark on their pricing here for hobbyist & home users. I can't justify paying substantially more than something like iCloud or Google Drive storage when I'm using Obsidian to just sync some text and a few documentation images. Something like $1-2/mo would have been an instant buy for me, but at $8 it was worth my time to investigate other ways of syncing.

UPS has by far been the best of the delivery services for me. A year or two ago we had 4 packages stolen because the FedEx knucklehead put a package up on the doorstep in a very visible position that drew a thief onto our step. The FedEx box and 2 UPS packages hidden in a bush were taken as a result.

A few days later UPS came to deliver a soundbar that he couldn't hide in front of the house. He waited for me to get on the doorbell camera and I opened my garage for him. He brought in all the other packages from that day too. Top tier service.

My company switched from UPS to FedEx in 2020. We get a stupidly good rate on shipping, but in exchange they sometimes leave packages worth several thousand dollars behind our office after hours. Was never a problem when we had UPS.

It's pretty much always been this way with the HP ones. Years ago when wireless printers were not the standard, we used to connect a printer to the family Windows PC and then share it on the network. We got a new one set it up, and the printer refused to be shared. Turns out HP had explicitly blocked network sharing in their Windows software driver for that printer. Never purchased another one since. Brother isn't perfect, but I have multiple 8+ year old Brother laser printers still in service right now and they "Just Work."

Yep. Essential healthcare worker here. Spent every day feeling like I was living in an apocalypse movie during my commute. Normal 30+ min commute was 22 minutes.

Yep, got it again this week and presently in isolation. On the upside, we know how to treat it way better than when I had it last time.

They're coming as part of the new Find My Device network. The launch has been delayed until Apple releases their portion of the joint anti-tracking effort.

I use it when casting my patients who have a partial hand amputation. It works great as a separator for casting agents and allows me to easily easily slip a cast off of them. It also helps prevent ripping out too too many hairs during the process.
