400 miles doesn't get you halfway across a single state in the western US.

Well if you broaden the definition that much, then it sounds like iPhone batteries are already user replaceable since I can easily purchase the necessary tools from iFixIt.

If that's really the definition, it's an awful definition and exactly why we shouldn't regulate stuff like this. Torx are objectively better than Philips or flathead in every possible way.

Another vote for Synology here. I have 2 RT2600 and 1 RT1600 between myself and my parents houses. They have been completely bullet proof and the oldest one is going on 7 years old now.

Nuclear power is green energy.

I have have this problem as well and it seems to be getting steadily worse. I feel like it must be q bug, but haven't looked in to it much.

Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it's worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.

As could probably be guessed by the fact that I chose this name for an instance, Neuromancer and the rest of the sprawl trilogy are still the books that defines the genre for me. The descriptions of the physical world are still feel real and plausible today, making them remarkably prescient for their time, and the descriptions of cyberspace as a near-physical space that you occupy when jacked in, but in an abstract way that, perhaps ironically, feels more real to me than the more immersive version of cyberspace in books like Snow Crash.

 

Be it book, film or any other medium, share your favorite works of the genre (and why it's your favorite!)
