Roku always was a company with great engineers and shitty money grabbing management. The new user creation always requested data not necessary for basic operation.

Ich hab das hauptsaechlich bei digitalen services. Ich schreib denen dann immer das ich ab jetzt deren Kram via Torrent beziehe weil sie entweder ihre Infrastruktur nicht im Griff haben, oder Datenverkaufende Arschloecher sind.

Not a bambu owner (and unlikely to ever be one), but read up on that out of curiousity.

I guess they're offering self replacement as cost cutting measure, but wouldn't be surprised they'll stop doing that once their legal team fully understands the impact.

This problem is a fire hazard which is unlikely to be solved by replacing it with a same spec cable, so even if you can replace it yourself I probably wouldn't, just to make sure there's no arguing over liability if this thing catches fire. I'd assume they'll do a longer term fix with a more stable cable, possibly with added strain relief - though I also find doing a 230V heatbed a questionable design choice.

That's pretty much the "we should all put PoE everywhere" debate, and I don't think that'll happen (or is a good idea) - and that's coming from me as someone with switches providing 1.5kW of PoE power budget in the garage.

The alternative would be a shared conductor like we have now - and while that is working will in data centres doing a conductor in the required dimensions for that would be too big, and potentially dangerous, so that'll happen even less.

Older notebooks, battery chargers, PMR radios, pretty much everything taking less than 100W DC current.

Do you happen to have pictures/videos? I can't imagine what you're talking about.

Additionally there's not really a good way to enter them, especially when using physical keyboards.

Over a decade ago a D-Link employee gave me a screwdriver with the comment "that's our only usable product". Nothing has changed much over the years.

WoL works as Ethernet¹ broadcast, while Wireguard routes IP, one level above that. So for the purpose of WoL the two ends of the Wireguard tunnel are in two different, not connected networks. In theory you might be able to make it work using subnet directed broadcasts - though creating some means to trigger the WoL packet on where you're terminating your Wireguard might be easier to manage.

Simple option would be just logging in via SSH to trigger it (you could script that - define a host in your SSH client config that just executes a command on connection), or something like a simple web frontend which will then trigger the WoL event.

¹ it is probably fair to assume nowadays that you're using Ethernet, and not something like Token Ring. In case you do it still works the same, just the terminology is different.

This is a pretty old joke. See "Church of Emacs".

That leads to a follow up question to people from different areas: Is swimming a regular part of school sports?

I grew up in Germany with pretty much no lakes, and we had blocks of sports classes in the swimming pool from first grade - didn't make me a great swimmer, but I can go swim a bit in a lake without having to worry.

Now we're in Finland (lots of lakes here), and also swimming classes take place from first grade.

We cancelled Netflix about a year ago for good - which made me setup stuff like Sonarr. Without Netflix being dicks I wouldn't have proper pirating infrastructure...

While I still pay for Disney+ we're also throwing everything we care about into sonarr - so if they do something stupid I'll just cancel and still have everything I want.
