  • Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC
  • But bandwidth is only limited in points in time, not usage over a month. Makes sense to limit in times of congestion, but not outside that. That is the OP's point.

  • Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC
  • The data caps also discourage 4k adoption.

  • Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'
  • I've played the game since 2015 when all we could do was walk around a hanger. When it comes to where SQ42 is at, we are being lied to about where it is. Them saying at Citcon that SQ42 is just 2 more years away is a dead giveaway that they are absolutely no where near a release, and the 2026 year is pure fiction. Like I said, they've been saying 2 years away since 2016.

  • Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'
  • And this CitCon didn't do anything to stem that tide if true.

  • I'm pretty sure Chris Roberts views Squadron 42 as the main game.

  • They claimed it was feature complete in 2023. And now they claim it is two years away from release. You really think polish and optimization takes three years? Of course, they've claimed it is just two years away every year since 2016.

    They are lying to you.

  • ‘They will vote against Harris’: Arab Americans in Michigan desert Democrats over Gaza
  • You have to understand that most Arab Americans in Michigan are lower 'c' conservative and frustrated the Republicans won't accept them. Unless the Dems completely abandon Israel to total destruction, they'll threaten to vote R.

  • Thanks, clicking submit disabled the binary sensor call_in_progress. But the main VOIP is set to assist_satellite.

  • The VoIP in progress binary sensor ...

    Hey all, anyone know if there are any directions on how to swap out to the assist_satellite from this depreciated sensor? Normally when there is a swap like this, the Home_Assistant folks give us some directions, but I can't find squat on this.

    Linux equivalent to Robocopy?
  • Ok, after some looking around and testing, think I finally got what I wanted.

    First, map the share, err mount the network share. Gotta use the Linux lingo. :P
    sudo mount -t cifs -o username=MyUserName //PlexServerName/Sharename /mnt/movies/
    Will have to enter both the sudo password and remote Plex server password manually, but that works for me as this is a manual, not automated, process.

    And to sync:
    sudo rsync -hvrPt --ignore-existing /Drive/SourceFolder/ /mnt/movies/

    I was reading somewhere that using -a would add more options that might gum up the works, so I manually expressed what I wanted instead. But I finally got what I was looking for. If you have any suggestions, chime in. Thanks!

  • Linux equivalent to Robocopy?
  • And after letting it run a couple of hours, it copied nothing. This is really odd. It looks like it is evaluating every file, but again not coping the stuff missing on the destination. Robocopy would take a couple of seconds to run through everything if there was nothing to copy.

  • Linux equivalent to Robocopy?
  • I'm trying rsync right now, and it definitely is copying some existing files. Not all but some. Can't figure out why.

    Or maybe it is evaluating them? Any way to force it to only look at folder and file names?

  • Linux equivalent to Robocopy?

    Hey All, When my desktop was Windows, I'd use my desktop to rip DVD/Blu-rays, move them to the movies folder, then use robocopy to copy just new files from my desktop to my Plex server. Used switches to copy just the new files and folders.

    What is the Linux equivalent to do this?

    VOIP softphone in Linux

    Hey All,

    I'm looking for a good softphone in Linux. I tried Linphone, but it had the same issue I had in Windows where I could send texts ok, but can't send and receive calls. In Windows, I used Microsip since it worked as soon as I configured it. Linphone seems to be "special." Any suggestions?

    And I don't care about video calls.

    The Pre-Season...

    Hey Everyone,

    I haven't been active here for camp and the pre-season. My Wife passed away in early July, and it has been hard. I'll get back to it at the start of the regular season. I haven't abandoned the community.

    Dark Mode Question

    Hey all, noob here. In the system settings of Pop OS I chose dark mode. At first everything was fine. But something happened. This issue is only happening in the Show Applications area. It is dark mode, but the text is all black instead of switching over to a lighter color like it did before. Makes it tough to read as you can see in the screenshot. I've tried flipping to light mode and then back to dark mode several times of varying length with no success. Any tips to get it back to normal?

    Bonus issue: I have uninstalled OpenRGB, but it is still showing up in the app list as you can see in the screenshot. Any way to remove it? If I reinstall OpenRGB, I get a second icon.

    Pre-Camp House Cleaning

    Hey all, with camp just a few weeks away I'd like to reach out to you and see what you would like to see. After all, this is YOUR forum much more than it is mine.

    Anything you'd like to see from me? Any kind of content you'd like to do or take over? Anything I'm doing that annoys the hell out of you?

    Generally I've been trying to do an opponent preview on Monday/Tuesday, game thread, and post game thread. And yeah, I've missed occasionally. Sorry.

    Let me know what you think.

    How to install apps in other locations?

    So just got my computer switched over to Pop! OS.

    When I open the Pop Shop, the installers don't give me an option to change the location of the app installs. I have 4 disks, 2 nvmes, 2 hard disks. I would prefer to install some of my apps to the 2nd nvme, which I have mounted to /Apps. Mainly the games I will play, along with Stream and Lutris.

    Would I need to install from the terminal with apt or nala? I installed nala because it looks cleaner, but we'll see.

    Lions sign Jake Bates to a two year deal
    africa.espn.com Lions sign UFL kicker Bates to two-year contract

    The Lions signed big-footed UFL kicker Jake Bates to a two-year contract.

    Lions sign UFL kicker Bates to two-year contract

    Bates signed a 2 year deal with the Lions after visiting the Packers and Commanders. Bates gained attention in the UFL while on the Michigan Panthers, where he kicked game winning, 64 yard and 62 yard field goals. He was 17 of 22 (77%) for the Panthers, including 7 of 7 from 40-49 yards and 6 of 10 with 50+ yards.

    Interesting they gave him a two year deal instead of a one year prove it deal. Maybe they anticipate him winning the job?

    Lions Match Brock Wright's Offer from the 49ers

    The Lions have matched Brock Wright’s three-year, $12 million offer sheet with the San Francisco 49ers.

    While LaPorta may be our #1 going forward, Wright played 44% of the Lions' snaps. He's still a big part of our offense.
