100% consistent with static damage.

thats the thing about ESD damage - it can reduce reliability or operating margins. It rarely shows up as “whole part entirely nonworking”.

People think this and end up like OP.

Often the symptoms resulting from damage are subtle, irritating, and situationally intermittent.

maybe you built your PC on a humid day or didn’t happen to do anything to raise a charge, But I wouldn’t go around telling other people that it’s not necessary.

its mandatory if you don’t want to damage CMOS gates

this can happen due to static discharge. It’s mandatory to follow static safe handling procedures when installing PC parts

this round trips the entire file body on every mutation?

What happens if two concurrent mutation requests come in?

webdav? https://github.com/fstanis/awesome-webdav?tab=readme-ov-file

apparently, macOS and Windows still support this protocol

Certain minimum knowledge is required if you don’t want to be low hanging fruit for criminal botnet operators who will use your system to launch attacks.

You can’t also beg/complain about tools “made for you” not existing - if they’re not already there, it may mean the problem can’t be reduced to appliance-user level.

If you’re building such a tool, why ask? Get uptake rate and user feedback data.

Screw the calibration and crank that gamma

Because your tv black level or gamma are set wrong?

Full unix mode is probably easier than working up some kind of sandboxing mechanism that accepts arbitrary scripts/binaries.

As far as nice to the eye, you can spin up a python FastAPI site and frontend in about 10 minutes with Claude Code

probably because they already own it.

use some file system with snapshots and differential backups, like ZFS, and snapshot it daily. Stream the diffs somewhere they can’t login to and which doesn’t mount the FS.

This will invariably save their bacon at some point.

The thought of going through all of my storage boxes to catalog hundreds or thousands of items so that I might search for them one day via a web UI seems a lot less productive than simply knowing that old USB supplies are in the “USB junk” box and Christmas decorations are in the “Christmas decorations” box

Don’t forget to pre-fill the new filter with fresh oil, otherwise bearing surfaces will run metal-to-metal for maybe 5 seconds before getting oil when you start the engine.

You built a spambot?

I gave up on cute or clever names a while ago; now I go with “storage0”, “router0”, “wap00”, “vmhost0”. Always with a numeric suffix because there will be a -1, -2 some day.

And most of the media went right along with wording such as “tariffs on China” rather than than “tariffs on US buyers”

Zigbee or Zwave temperature/humidity sensors are common. Add a 3-circuit relay box and you can simulate the behavior of pretty much any thermostat with a few rules.

HA or any other system that can toggle outputs based on sensor thresholds would work just fine.

there are some subtleties with real HVAC thermostats, like running your AC compressor at least five minutes and ensuring that it stays off for at least 5 minutes when it’s turned off.

Never good to intentionally pollute.
