Setting up my own NAS and offside backup.

Big project for sure, but being in control of my vital backups was important for me. Additionally the up front costs is lower than the subscriptions I would have needed.

I also don't think they're willing to compromise their own shipping channels for the sake of taking Taiwan. I have a vested interest in Taiwan as half of my family lives there.

I also believe that China has India to worry about as well. Not commonly discussed but still a valid threat.

In Germany, you could be hit with a DUI up to 6 hours after your incident.

Meaning if you got into a crash and then went home. You decide to take a drink to calm your nerves, and then the police knock on your door 3 hours later... You'll still get a DUI.

YJ-12, YJ-18, and YJ-21 are pretty formidable offensive weapons.

AGEIS seems to do well defending against it, but Taiwan itself doesn't have a robust anti missile capabilities like carrier groups.

A lot of faith is put into the SM-3 system for high altitude intercepts. Thankfully it seems like Japan has some SM-3 capabilities.

I feel like China's missiles are quite dangerous. Assuming that they function well

Just take out the wifi module. If you need wifi just use a USB adapter. That's your kill switch.

I play a lot of flights and train rides. Tried the laptop life. No real comparison especially with the APUs being so strong these days.

I have a two button flashlight. One button to change settings and one to turn on and off. It has memory so it uses the last setting used that's not strobe or the highest setting

PhotoPills

Invaluable as a photographer. I think it's closed source though which is a shame.

Just use MAS

You're already paying them with your data.

I enjoy a program called Alldup. It's quite nice for my uses

With camera sensors being so good, the major differences will be autofocus capabilities.

Imagine an open source autofocus algorithm that people can use their own photos locally so that it can focus on your shooting style.
