I know that they started a lot of philanthropic corporate efforts and encourage companies they work with to follow suit. Their CEO has also been vocal on LGBTQ+, abortion, and gender pay gap issues.

Salesforce as a company ranks as one of the good ones, at least so far.

It’s a low friction way to set up a home server with NAS and docker containers. The “Unraid” portion is the configuration that lets you set up an “array” with parity drive(s), but without striping so each disk has a complete filesystem and files accessible even when removed from the array. Everything can be managed through a web UI, and there’s a robust “app store” of docker containers.

The downside is that it’s not free, and they recently moved towards monthly/yearly licensing and increased the cost of new lifetime licenses.

I ended up taking my unsupported computer and turned it into an Unraid server. Bought some refurb enterprise drives on eBay to get it set up, and now I have an awesome home media server/NAS.

Dope Rider is among the best comics made

Parties are optional. Work is not.

It looks like the media player is open source, but the media server is not.

I also bought the lifetime license a while ago, and am also happy with that purchase.

If the door exists, then it can be opened

Every week I find a new reason to be glad for my 2016 Escape.

By weight or by molarity?

Trying to stop scrapers, I would imagine.

I’ll believe Adobe made something non-exploitative when I see it.

We just got a rice cooker instead

If it’s a publicly traded company they don’t have a choice. Fall in line or hostile takeover and get replaced.

The Instant Pot was a product so good that customers rarely needed to buy another one. The company went bankrupt.

Man, we had to replace the fuse on ours four times before we gave up on it; I don’t think ‘product longevity’ was a major factor in the brand’s downfall. It also did a shit job of cooking rice.

I also highly doubt Logitech’s ability to make a “forever” mouse with how many I’ve had to RMA due to faulty left click switches. Get your product design, supply chain, and QA in order before you start trying to tie people down with wholly unnecessary and unwanted subscriptions. Shitty ent seeking MBA vampires fucking everything up for everyone.

We called that a cosmonaut screwdriver

A younger me would sometimes go for what we called cosmonaut screwdrivers - vodka and tang

The extortion for API use is how they are fucking it up, from the console manufacturer’s perspective.
