71·10 days agoThese days a ~10€ gadget can tell you about the electricity going through a USB connection and what the cable is capable of. I don’t like the idea of basically requiring this to get that knowledge, but considering the limited space on the USB-C plugs I’m not sure anything is likely to improve about their labeling.
Going by your comments, I think you need to know a few basics before you get into people’s suggestions for actual services. Start with this: more or less, “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer. It’s bigger, the connection is faster, etc., but the services you use most likely run on a Linux computer much like the one you already have.
For experimenting with the topic, it would be good to have another computer that you can mess around with and not worry about having a usable machine. If you can cobble together a desktop from old parts it will be enough to start the learning process.

Got any specific videos to recommend?
4·5 months agoAnyone got an idea of cost? Of course this is going to be brutal, but it’s literally ten times what I have in my NAS, in a size slightly longer than a 2.5" drive.
3·6 months agoYour Wi-Fi also needs a cable if you want to be pedantic.
The benefit is that there is no overhead involved, in theory you don’t even have to think about charging your phone ever again. When it’s not in use, just leave it on some of the dedicated places around the house and office that provide wireless charging.
If you don’t require it to replace cables it doesn’t need to. For adding some energy to the device while it’s on your desk or nightstand it works perfectly fine.
The efficiency issue is also exaggerated, phones don’t take much power to begin with. Anyone using AC or warm water for convenience is doing much worse in terms of spent energy.
It doesn’t relay all traffic, that’s a fallback if a connection can’t be established.
Realistically, any job that you hire someone with a degree for will require training - the question is how much they’ll understand and at what level the training needs to start.
A certain percentage are just there to pick up a degree to increase their future income. It’s not hard to imagine they’d take any available shortcuts.

Any PC building guide, use a case with enough 3.5" bays and a mainboard with plenty of SATA and M.2 ports (if you want SSD csche).
After that it gets more specialized.
No, but
they thinkthey are above the law.FTFY. So far, at least. Let’s see if any reckoning is forthcoming.
Is that legal?
😂
Not like that matters any more.
In comparison, he probably is.
whatever helps you justify paying $120 for software
Does that sound like a lot to you?
Considering the use I got out of it, even if I switch to something else tomorrow, the cost for the lifetime pass was peanuts. I’m sure others making that decision based on the situation today will feel the same in a few years. If Plex seems like the best solution today it’s not going to fall off the cliff before $120 were worth it.
Not like FOSS projects are immune to bad decisions, and then you either fork it yourself or depend on unpaid volunteers to keep the version you like alive. There’s always some risk.
Pretty sure they know better than to trust in the USA alone.
Yeah, functionality between these varies, I know some of them can tell you what capabilities the cable’s chip spits out.
