Possible alternative for Whatsapp is to run matrix and a WhatsApp bridge, then all of your messages will be stored in the WhatsApp bridge, and you can access them via a matrix client. Pretty long winded though. As for Android auto, I can’t afford a fancy new car with a screen in it so I just mount my phone on the dashboard and use it like that with no Android auto.

Strikes me that there should be some kind of provisioning tool similar to Ansible for Android devices, what does industry do when they need to automate provisioning of thousands of devices for POS, retail, barcode scanning, delivery drivers, etc.

There is a neovim plugin with a Firefox companion extension that basically puts your neovim inside the textbox on the webpage. It’s pretty crazy, and works with most text input fields.

China is leading the world in cost effective manufacturing and infrastructure projects. I have no idea what you are huffing but it must be strong

Provider for goods? What are you on about? Western nations outsource all production to the global south (pretty much) and the only thing they make is overpriced software (hyperbole)

you can keep the fan and heatsink on the board

Interesting, never had that happen to me, but then perhaps you are using a laptop with a dgpu? I have not been. My laptop generally consumes 4w at idle and up to 15w under load, so I don’t see this ever outpacing the 60w charger. The CPUs with the highest tdp are only around 100w anyway right? And in that case the laptop comes with a higher wattage charger. But you’re right I guess it could happen depending on the hardware, never personally seen it however.

I’ve run laptops before without batteries a few times and never had issues, is there a reason for the slowdown?

Remove the battery, take the motherboard out of the case. Plug the motherboard in, and voila you have a larger and more powerful raspberry pi. You could use it as a second node for control, management, observation purposes, etc.

Nah it’s wibbly wobbly so it’s ok

They found the stargate

US is unable to make china react by sabre rattling Taiwan, so they try a different approach to demonise them and draw the battle lines for ww3

Don’t mind me just up voting them and down voting you too. By the way, care to explain why you think it would be definitely worse?

it is subscription, you pay per user per month. It is quite cheap imo, but I understand if you don’t want to pay any subscription. But in that case you can just try to self host it instead.

I’ve used odoo before, it is a large piece of software and can be modified to do lots of things. Most likely you will be able to get it to do what you want. You’ll probably need the e-commerce module, there is probably some sort of mode for subscriptions. You can also add the CRM on top for marketing, etc. there is also the booking module (iirc) which is maybe useful for sessions with trainers etc. maintenance might also be useful.

Is that a good thing necessarily?
