You haven't worked with a lot of Chinese engineers, have you?

I didn't down vote you. I'm not saying all Chinese engineers are bad, I'm just saying a lot are bad or don't care enough about details just execution as fast and with as little effort as possible.

Want to come get it? There is no market for this stuff and I'm on a time crunch. I need this stuff out fast. There are a bunch of speakers and decks.

I got my first Gateway 2k Pentium pro in 1996 and upgraded from an Amiga 500 too! Wish I kept that computer but I did keep the CPU as a keepsake.

It would be a lot cheaper to stop allowing no brand cheap crap with no accountability to be drop shipped from China. There are clear and well defined safety standards for lithium batteries and they're just being ignored. They won't prevent 100% of failures but 99.9% if they're followed.

This post scares the hell out of me. My daughter is 5 and sheltered but I know this is coming, I see it in other friends and families. Even the parents get sucked in and tell me about these addictive and fun empty headed music videos and it becomes a family event of consuming YouTube which makes me really question our Idiocracy future...

Ditto, though I'm getting more and more resentful by the day at the lack of multi user support. I'm not going to donate to them again.

Blackvue cameras have WiFi but its always off by default. You have to manually toggle it with a button and if nothing connects it turns back off.

Its not just the EV, its every layer of the supply chain. From the lithium they mine, the batteries they make out of it, the circuits and metal fabricating. Their government subsidies the electricity, tools, facilities, labor, etc. I work in the engineering field and I see bits and pieces of this everyday and have seen it for decades because I'm forced to source parts from China.

I understand that everyone doesn't always have a perfect experience but I've been using the same instance of nextcloud for over 8 years I just keep upgrading and migrating. It just works. Only issues I've had is when Debian withholds updating php for too long or when they finally do all the config files for php get fucked and I have to redo them all.

I hear ya but my instance is old (before i knew docker) and just works on the rails. I also tweak the heck out of it for performance so I deal with the annoyance once every two years. If it completely blows up I might roll it on docker.

I'm sorry but wireguard is not easy for beginners and the quick QR code generator in the command line was fantastic and light years ahead of fumbling around with getting config files securely to a mobile device.
