There is a good Adam Savage video on yt about the engineering of the thunderbolt or whatever cables.

They still should be shipped in bulk to the store but it makes more sense why they wouldn’t be given away free

You don’t read them either though?

Afaik they’re a discount brand? That you have to buy from Newegg? But I’m glad there is at least one option!

Lol they absolutely are subsidized. Look how expensive non-smart TVs are new

From reading the comments, I think you could be a lot leaner by selling the $100 setup fee, and telling people which “kit” is supported, and they buy that on their own.

That way you don’t have to deal with any of the physical infrastructure of buying/selling/storing hardware, and people can do some customization.

However I do think you’d need to put some restrictions in place so that people don’t buy cheap crap that doesn’t work and expect you to set it up and support it. They have to buy the kit or other compatible hardware.

I’m not sure what services you’d support, but personally I’d be interested in something like a personal introduction and setup of

• docker
• proxmox
• yunohost
• backups / restore (practice restoring)
• smb shared folder
• pihole / pivpn (can you have wire guard and openvpn setup at the same time for different uses?

Maybe migration of

• nextcloud

You could make different prices depending on what service they want, kind of like a bike stop.

I wouldn’t want a perpetual subscription, but I could stomach something like $100 setup + $5/mo for limited support for a year.

Best thing for me is that community support also exists for all these things too, but it’s hard to do it on your own sometimes.

We say this now but in 5 years, cars could go the way of smart TVs… sold at prices subsidized by advertisers.

Y’all talking about the emails but I was shocked to learn that other people have enough texts to not read them all…

Usually I did sign up for it though :/

I try to buy it a day old and then freeze it. It kind of sucks

Thanks for succinctly explaining what thunderbolt is

Skype was annoying to use and so is element

Not if but when

Guard? Gourd? Either way!

Our sinuses are so clean

Oh, that’s a hand! With tattoos! That’s his fingers in the 2nd image

I know that women can stand up from a wall squat without pushing off the wall first, are there other athletic pursuits that are more geared towards women’s abilities?

Also thanks for your in depth explanation, that makes a lot of sense why mostly men would practice for those disciplines.

Also they might steal from you, or just do a bad job maybe.

I had an issue with this as well. There are way more costs involved, like farm equipment, fuel, maintenance, fertilizer, pest control, labor, storage, marketing, transportation, packaging, etc.,

On the other hand, with economies of scale, cost of production per carrot is likely to be much less than $2
