Never, and it has battery back up in case of power failure. Automation, security cameras, HVAC controls, file sharing, etc. running on it.

When you’re ready for a full monitoring package, check out Frigate.

I have similar problems with devices disconnecting from my Realtek BT/wifi card. I was able to significantly reduce (but not completely eliminate) the problems by disabling power management for the BT adapter’s associated USB port.

The most problematic are ASUS USB-BT400 and Realtek RTL8821CE

Can confirm. The Realtek adapter in my HP laptop is a major PITA. Both BT & wifi have problems that I’ve only able to partially resolve.

Cities can refuse to provide services to venues who refuse to pay for them in most places. The city officials in every city that Trump screwed should have been demanding payment up front - they knew he routinely screws over everyone he deals with because he still has debts from 2016 that are unpaid. Those who haven’t been paid should have been making front page news by suing for what they are owed.

47% of the people in Kent County voted for the felon. Even if the Grand Rapids numbers are lower, it’s not reasonable to suggest a significant percentage of those making city decisions aren’t Trump supporters.

This isn’t an unpaid debt, it’s an illegal campaign contribution by city officials at their taxpayer’s expense.

Every single one of them knew they would be providing free city services for Trump while charging the Biden then Harris campaign for the same.

Many (most?) Ubuntu fixes also work on Mint. This post might help.

To be clear, the right of free speech given in the first amendment is the right to express any opinion without fear of repercussions.

Not the case. The 1st Amendment provides freedom of speech without fear of repercussions by the U.S. government. We do not have the right to express any opinion without repercussions from literally any other source.

For Windows user who don’t want to bother learning a new OS? Mint, no question. The latest releases are easy to install and configure, Cinnamon will feel familiar, and it works flawlessly on most hardware.

Where did you get the idea this guy was numb?

A few years ago on a cruise we sat at a table with a doctor who said he was in charge of all United Healthcare insurance approvals. This guy didn’t just mention he had to sometimes refuse people care, he was absolutely giddy about it and took sadistic pleasure in seeing other people suffer. We moved to a different table to get away from him.

I guess we’ll find out eventually, but I’ve got to wonder if the shooter was pushed over the edge after someone close to him died due to refusal of care by United Healthcare.

“Hate speech” is defined and outlawed by countries around the world:

Threatening people based on their religion, race or other attributes is not dissent.

Bannon will be tried for fraud in New York on state, not federal charges. If he’s convicted he cannot be pardoned by the president.

In CA, Proposition 13 limits increases and you would think it would prevent drastic overall property tax increases and the tax revenue would be fairly stable. In reality the run up in prices after 2020 has been an absolute windfall for cities and has cost property owners big time. For example, LA’s budgeted property tax revenue went up 14.6% from 2022 to 2024, an absurd increase far exceeding the general inflation level but something cities and counties have come to expect.

While I think property taxes (or some replacement) are absolutely necessary in a functioning society, in my experience they way they are implemented is ridiculous and the reason for this kind of initiative.

Trump would start a nuclear war if he thought he could save himself.

Trump planned for and started this run years ago when his dementia wasn’t nearly as advanced.

Besides, plenty of people with serious mental conditions go to prison. There is only one reason he won’t be one of them. He’s wealthy and only the first part of “Liberty and Justice” applies to him.

Trump is only running because he doesn’t want to retire to a Federal prison cell.

Seems that blocking my robot vac’s Internet access when it’s not in use is not so paranoid after all.
