+1 The first thing I did was search for the license. The license is what can make it or break it in this kind of project. The absence of clear and permissive licensing is a red flag for me.
I thought you were joking about this but they are still selling 3 different pencils. At least one has been retired. But Jesus what a mess of a lineup.
I'm assuming/wishing/hoping they are going to get to Good Pencil and Great Pencil and Good Pencil works on everything and Great Pencil works on a limited set of products.
I still have a 2012 Air. It's on its second battery, which is shot, but until recently everything else worked. Unfortunately the mic has mostly stopped working as of late. Still, we got a lot of use out of that thing, and my kids still use it--just can't use it for video conf any more.
Exactly, it's great to hand things down to family like that. And with the 2016+ laptops, with these known issues, its quite possible it just becomes ewaste with an expensive repair that you can't do yourself at home
I asked about self-hosted relays on the forum [1]. Right now it doesn't look like they have plans to open the source code behind the actual service. Not sure if that's a 'no, never', or a 'we didn't think about it', but it would be good to ask on the Pi Forums maybe.
Otherwise... the service uses wayvnc for the Pi server part, and you could replicate the setup with TigerVNC easily enough over local LAN or through a VPN. The Pi Connect service is the hosted backend; not sure what they're using there.
The idea of "free beer" is if I'm giving away free beer at my establishment during an event, there are restrictions around that free beer. I'm not gonna fill up a tanker truck for you, I'm gonna kick you out if you start trying to resell it, I'm gonna cut you off it you've had too much, you can't get any if you're under age, etc, etc, etc.
It's free, but you can't do anything you want with it. Really it's free to drink on my terms - and that's certainly "free", but it's not "freedom" (as in free speech).
The recipe for soda is also open source - anybody can make their own carbonated soft drink. But I think if someone offered you "free soda" it would be pretty clear that they are offering you a specific soda whose recipe you almost certainly don't know, not the umbrella concept of "soda".
"Free soda" and "free beer" are analogous, if that helps.
Or, since it seems to need explaining, the point is that "beer" is not one thing with one recipe and if somebody offers you "free beer" it is pretty obviously a specific kind and batch of beer.
2 years and 5 months here. He never slept well, wakes up during the night, makes all sorts of sounds while sleeping, and wakes up early (5~6 am). Doctor said some kids are like this and it may get better over the years. The lack of sleep took a lot of my concentration, energy, and memory.
Same here. 3.5 year old and one year old twins. Poor sleep and just general fatigue most days. It’s hard to convey to those who sleep well how challenging it is to be constantly sleep deprived.
