even simpler, it’s all numbers.

well, you done did it there. ooops! started the minnesota good-bye. now you’re locked-in for another hour-and-a-half.

it is present on their main search but can be ignored or put out-of-sight easily enough.

you have to use noai.duckduckgo.com to have it just ‘off’ period.

afaik the only things is the desktop watermark and being locked-out of the personalization in ‘settings’, so stuck with default theme, wallpaper, and so on.

registry edits or using a pre-configured custom installer can get around some (or all?) of these items.

updates will still be offered and installed.

flight time is actually closer to 80-90 minutes between the two cities. plus taxi time of 10-20+ minutes at each end… plus dealing with getting to and from the airport, maybe parking, and random tsa shenanigans inside.

compare that to the actual 3.5 hour acela route that starts at ~ $74, that directly connects midtown manhattan to south station or back bay.

usmobile.com does a cellular-based ‘home phone’ (base station you connect a traditional POTS phone to) for about the same ($9.99/mo, $99/yr), plus hardware at about $100. walmart does the same (via ‘straight talk’) at $15/mo and about $50 for the hardware. no internet needed for the service as they use cellular.

it’s not FOSS (it is ‘free to use’ at home) or a ‘server’ application (it’s a windows application), but i just use mailstore home to create and update a local archive of a gmail account. its dot.net requirement is minimal (v4.8 or higher) but i have not yet tried to run it with wine, as i have a separate box that runs windows stuff.

federal duties will still apply, and that stuff has changed a lot in the last year. most of what used to come in ‘free’, is not any longer.

many states will expect a buyer bringing-in items to use in-state that were bought elsewhere, with lower or no sales tax at point-of-sale, to pay the equivalent of the sales tax, commonly called a ‘use tax’, if the items would be subject to sales tax if purchased locally. such use taxes are difficult to enforce, and are rarely reported or paid voluntarily by individuals.

also note that the cheaper switch2 version sold in japan is region locked to that market and language

it’s been over a year here at wm, i still go to the wrong aisle more than once each trip for groceries. the new layout makes no fucking sense.

why stop at just a ‘clip’?

and all that was inside was a smelly shoe with a can of soup stuffed in it. thanks amazon.

if that’s truly from 1957, the whole setup would have several pieces that size. the 803 a few years later was three (one about this size, two a little smaller), plus user console, printer, tape reader. nearly 2000 lbs worth of equipment.

a buck a can, and you can buy one at a time. prime eligible.

it costs more to deliver it than to buy it.

yea, i know they can be relatively inexpensive. but i saw them as a waste of money–which was and still is in short supply.

nearly everything i have as far as pc stuff was salvaged or given to me. the last things i bought myself was 24tb of hdds for media storage (when they were still ‘cheap’), replacing a literal laundry basket of small (160gb-2tb) 2.5in, 3.5in and externals that was getting to be an unmanageable mess.

i had thought of that, but my setup would have had more drives than ports so i needed a switch that did power and signal.

instead of all that now, i just have a literal stack of old pizzabox form factor sff and switch between entire systems.

my ideal setup at one time was a huge case with lots of drive bays and a switch or switches on front to choose which drives to have connected and powered-up.

i only ever got so far as to have the case and a few drives. i did ‘dual boot’ it for years, though, by simply swapping cables internally. lateral bays put the connectors close to the side panel, which itself was easy to slide on and off. it wasn’t very often, so i never got ‘motivated enough’ to get the switch for it.

i never have had an opportunity to pull or salvage a functional hot-swappable bay or enclosure and sleds. i did run across one once, but internally it was usb 2 so it got tossed on the recycle pile like the old junk it came in.
