The first UAV in the 1800s were incendiary balloons, Austrian attack on Venice.

A. M. Low was a pioneer in rocket guidance systems, planes, etc. In 1917 the “flying bomb” (a controlled airplane) was developed, and later developed into the Kettering Bug - a bomb with wings - which had a terrible success rate and never got used in combat. You can see a reproduction in Dayton, Ohio, at the museum for the Air Force.

Target drones (training drones for military pilots) were made by Radioplane and sold to the Army in the 1940s. That led to the SD-2 Overseer in the 1950s.

Which led to the Lightning Bug, based on target drone designs, used to monitor the Chinese, then Vietnam. They would deploy a parachute so they could be picked up mid-air so they wouldn’t fall into foreign hands. China shot down a few of them and set the shot them down and set those drones up for public display.

Drones have a much longer history than you’d think!

Classic to TBC.

Did my pally quest for the mount, only to see that no longer be needed just a bit later…

I haven’t played wow in a long time… Classic, TBC, then wotlk, cata, then took a break from it, came back a loooooong time later and just… Didnt enjoy it.

I would definitely do something like this to play with family and friends, going to have to check it out!

This is one of those cases where an algorithm carefully trained on only relevant data can have value.

Hopefully more people learn that this is the important part.

It becomes nonsense when you just feed it everything and the kitchen sink. A well trained model works.

Assuming you want to replace it all, not just home lab use…

1. Drop their router/modem combo if you can, get your own modem and router. Options are pretty wide here, but what I prefer is a wired router and separate WAPs. I’d lean toward opnsense for the router OS, and I’d use something with as little as two to four ports - one for the modem, one to hit a switch, two more gives you a second modem option (cellular as mentioned) and a second switch to hit if needed. Ideally with 10gbps for future proofing. Dont make your router/FW do lift of a switch, IMO.
2. Get a switch sized to your network. Since you’re going with a 10" rack, a small 8 port with a couple 10gbit uplinks would fit the bill. Managed only here. You dont need the latest and greatest - I have a stack of Aruba 2920s, 48+4 PoE+ (stacking cables) that I got for free that were being replaced. They came out in 2013 and went end of sale in 2017, and have been in my home lab since. So - any thing managed that handles what you have and a bit more.
3. In terms of WAP, TP-Link, ASUS, and Zyxel all have decent hardware that works well.

Just a language shift for corporations, definitely.

Subscriptions aren’t buying, thats the problem.

Yeah I just dont have a need with no devices to handle it natively, while the rest of my library can be. Building a new htpc media player for the living room next, new server after that.

New because I’m using a lenovo tiny as the server, which means either I build a new box completely, or I find the right used workststion tiny/mini/micro that can handle av1. Complete build will do a lot more (well, the t/m/m does too, but not to the extent my big box builds are set up for).

About the same here, minus the music videos (only a few dozen there for the kids), plus a fitness library, so I’d say it evens out to roughly equal.

Mostly HEVC but I still have some h.264 floating around that I have no interest in reencoding.

No AV1 at all until I get a new Intel GPU or newer Intel CPU to handle transcoding it nicely.

Thats the problem…

Right now I’m not even served by one of the big companies, and they haven’t improved service in… Years.

Even their fiber lines max at 500 symmetric, and they won’t drop to a residence. No other options either.

Comcast is now in the area, and as much as I hate them… It would be cheaper and faster by a lot (on both counts). Half the price, 25 times the upstream.

Its a sad state of affairs IMO.

Thats what I’m on currently, and soon I’ll be able to get 1.2gbit symmetric!

Still a far cry from 2-3gbps. I dont know of anyone with home internet service capable of that, but maybe elsewhere there are better options.

I dont think I said “random”, but a randomized routine that meets criteria absolutely works, and you dont need AI for that. I dont think anyone said “AI” at all until you just now either.

Detecting plateau isn’t too hard either, which is when you would get a suggestion to change an exercise or set of exercises in a routine, or a new routine. Which is where change of angle comes in - its about the exercise being performed.

Can someone do it themselves? Sure, it just takes more work. Which is kind of the point here - you can make a list of exercises that hit a muscle or muscle group just fine without software, which is what this software does. The next logical step is a system that handles routine options, too.

Even with consistent goals you need to change your routine around.

Edit: and if you’re injured, you should be meeting with a doctor/pt for any workout information. No system is going to know how to deal with that sensibly.

Yup…

Uptime is fine, CPU/men is fine. I’d even be fine with grabbing a few ssd’s for the task…

But 2-3gbps is a non-starter, not to mention 2 contacts.

I’d say too narrow, goals vary between people greatly, and the routine you’d use for general fitness will be different than the one you’d focus on as a runner or cyclist, and different than someone focusing on support muscles for back or knee pain, or to lose weight.

Its also good to change the routine over time, to change the angle and movement patterns, etc.

Yup, with some common breakouts would be a great add…

• PPL
• Upper/lower
• Standard split

And maybe a recommended calendar for rotation?

Kind of.

You’ll need some basic understanding of muscle groupings especially for compound movements, and a basic understanding of what to work consecutively or where you’d need a break in between.

Overall seems neat though, I’m going to be spinning up a local copy.

Looks like exercise recommendations based on what equipment you have and what muscles you want to work, but not a routine, no.

3 are for the family, 3 are for work stuff, 3 are for me as toys.

(Plus a Mac mini and a p330 as spare desktops for me, thus the -ish)

This is precisely what I do with my nas.

I have 9…ish tiny/mini/micros for compute, two NAS (locally).

Solid approach

It’s only a matter of time before some brilliant dipshit over there manages to envision Windows as a subscription service aimed solely at businesses

I think at least one M365 plan includes a windows license now.
