  • But the model number isn’t really the “name” either. That would be “Alienware 34-inch Monitor”, from that year, etc. That they don’t call that their “Mars” line of monitors is maybe a marketing issue, but the thing people want to know first/most about a tv/monitor is how big it is.

    Cars and Phones have product numbers that break down the same way but like you say the general public doesn’t refer to them that way. Like the Samsung Galaxy S24 instead of “SM-S928U”, which is the North American (T-Mobile?) specific model.



  • I settled on a SPH-10BT a few years ago. It didn’t have backup camera support though IIRC there is a radar add-on, but don’t know how available it is anymore.

    It seems insane to me, especially with the prevalence of Apple/Android Auto, that no car company is willing to have the phone be the supplemental screen in the car.

    That there’s no built-in phone mounts in cars still bugs me. Put wireless charging on a spot on the dash, NFC/Bluetooth to get it to automatically snap into car mode. Don’t have to develop an in-house UI that everyone hates and can focus on making a car.











  • (if that service goes down, everyone in my house gets mad at me)

    I bought a PiZero and set it up as a redundant pihole for this reason. It’s slower because it’s wireless, but not super noticeable since it’s ‘just’ DNS. I have the router pointed at the main and backup all the time and if I need to do something (or break the main one messing with dockers) there’s still the backup until I get the main up.

    I messed around with some High Availability configs where they both had the ‘same’ ip but could never get it working smoothly. I just use the teleporter functionality within pihole any time I update anything to keep them in sync, which is rare.


  • A lot of the Old Testament this. Any translation that uses more readable language is nice. The King James version etc get too much credit for sounding religiousy.

    Genesis through Deuteronomy or so are what a lot of Protestant churches at least focus on. The New Testament is Jesus’ life and then a bunch of letters to various early churches about how the Religion should work.

    A lot of “the rest” are the kind of fables they’re talking about. Ruth, Esther, Job, Samuel, etc. The ones named after people/mythological figures, depending on your point of view/beliefs.
