Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.)...
Instead of ancestry you should go to an actual doctor that does genetics. Even on Ancestry it states that it's for entertainment purposes and can't really be certain of lineage or medical conditions. They also sell data so there's that.
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drives for ISO/IMG/VHD(x)/WIM/EFI files.

Hey guys. I have a steam link I’ve used for quite some time. But I’m wanting to figure out a solution that is similar but grants full PC control. I have my main PC hardwired and a steam link and monitor out in my garage I’m routing to with a power line adapter that works pretty great. But it has a lot of issues when...

I was actually planning on building a smart mailbox but then I found out USPS had a thing called Informed Delivery so they will take pictures if I have any incoming mail and have pictures of them before they are delivered.
If I do get mail from Ebay or something or whatever I order, chances are, they'll ask for my email and that information will be sent to me anyways. So having the usps informed delivery will cover all my bases.
Durian is amazing if you've had it when you were younger. So if you got a young one, train them to try out new foods, fruits, vegetables, then they won't be picky eaters. I had durian when I was younger and love the shit out of it. Those who aren't, are likely to be disgusted by it.

I don't like Microsoft but don't think I can run away from Minecraft. Got a server with my friends and I really like the game. What would even touch it as a competitor or alternative?
I swear I read somewhere that diet sodas had the equivalent amount of regular sugar but as artificial sweetener so it wasn't really all that healthy. Apparently I'm wrong about this.
I think windows+v syncs to microsoft servers or something. I remember when I was running chris titus tech's debloat script it removed that functionality.
Well I have my port open in my lan but the only way to access it outside of my lan is to port forward. I don't understand how you can say that all you need to do is open the port and the machine can be accessed.
Same concept applies for any other service like a game server.
