    Starlink - anyone have it?

    I'd be interested if anyone has any experience with the Starlink Mini. I am considering having Santa deliver one to my sister and BnL, who spend a lot of time on the road in their Class A Thor motor coach.

    Apple TV Viewing of Cam Streams?

    I do not have a single native HomeKit compatible home automation device, so I run an instance of Homebridge on a box running Ubuntu.

    iOS Versus Android

    Those reports came out during a time when Samsung devices were catching on fire on airplanes and causing great bodily injury. So Apple likely performed a risk assessment on current products and elected to reduce the liability risk. As a shareholder, that was the correct move IMHO. If you believe...

    how easy is it to set up TailScale ?

    @Heavyopp I don't use BI or UI3, but you only need one instance of Tailscale running behind or on your firewall if you advertize sub-net routes. Then you can access any device using the private IP address assigned by your local network (not the TS assigned IP), including any web applications...

    iOS Versus Android

    iOS for the win! Android is a Google product. Android phone OEMs have no financial incentive to update their own version with apps/skins/etc for older devices after your initial purchase, so you may be stuck with an older OS with security vulnerabilities. The exception is Google branded...

    Lightning murdered my cam

    You're lucky it did not burn your house down. Might have even been a contributor. Now you have an expensive tree remove bill. Shows the importance of proper grounding.

    This car headlamp has cryptographic keys that restrict repair. HEADLIGHTS DO NOT NEED CRYPTOGRAPHY!! : Louis Rossmann

    Prevent theft and piracy. Same argument broadcasters are using to justify DRM on ATSC 3.0 OTA broadcasts. The real motive is to push cord cutters to paid TV services, where the broadcasters receive huge amounts of $ from retransmission fees. You want to find the truth in anything, follow the $.

    USPS - Don’t mind me just passing through!

    Maybe because it is too close to a cross street intersection, and trucks with trailers making a right turn clip the mailbox if placed along the road. Maybe homeowners have been hit or splashed by passing cars when retrieving their mail standing on the road. Maybe in the winter, the snow...
