@crustachio said in Google Trips:

It looks really cool and I plan to use it for my next trip, however it looks like (and correct me if I'm wrong) it does not offer any sort of collaboration or shared access to a trip? In other words, my wife and I can't access the same trip on our phones? Seems like a big miss if that's true...

Would not surprise me if true. Google contacts sharing....

I'm going.

See you in the garage!

XP and Aluminum Frame experience needed.

First bullet point.

But yeah, as most things the title is wrong. That is a generalist role.

I've been using this all day today, great time for a Necro!

@aidan_walsh said in Krebbs hit by 665Gbps DDOS:

There are some indications that this attack was launched with the help of a botnet that has enslaved a large number of hacked so-called “Internet of Things,” (IoT) devices — routers, IP cameras and digital video recorders (DVRs) that are exposed to the Internet and protected with weak or hard-coded passwords.

The future is shit.

There's been lots of "calling out" on the community recently.

Not sure if this is a good thing.

Has there been? I've not noticed much.

Yeah this is the first I remember.

At least in some time. I can't remember anything recently.

I remember a bit of it, mostly vendor targeted. Although I see how this could be vendor-centric..

I tagged it. What more help could you possibly need?

Could you add the following tags pls?

IT KITCHEN AND GRILL RECIPE

I had no idea those were pre-existing tags, lol.

Hehe, looks like we're gourmet IT pros: Everything from smoked eggs to fried garbage balls included 😛

Thanks for tagging 😉

Thai Bird Chile-Infused

Nope! Enjoy your heartburn lol

D-Arrrrrrrr!

....I'll see myself out.

Now I get it.

@jt1001001 Thanks, I'll check those guys out. And I like the idea of having a separate WLAN for the kiddos.

Lol yeah that would have been funny.

The threads here seem to start with a focus, and when the issue is resolved, it often spins off into another direction of good conversation. Not always a bad thing since the conversation can continue and the OP can just stop watching if need. Where other sites discourage that, which doesn't make sense cause you really don't need to start a new topic for every conversation shift. But I digress.

It is better that things get forked than continue in the original thread if they diverge too far. Otherwise, it makes it impossible to tag and find later.

One thing that makes ML special compared to other communities is exactly that. Problem solved, but the discussion may go on often talking about other aspects that are somehow related to the OPs question. @JaredBusch is right, this is a problem due to (additional) content not being tagged and therefore hard to find in the future. On the other hand, I think that this is what drives the community.

The kind people of the @Mods group started to fork threads lately when there is an interesting discussion that may be good to keep around, correctly tagged.

Right, additional organic conversation is great. Just once it diverges enough it is better forked just for the tagging and searchability.

If NodeBB would add tagging for individual posts in a thread that would be great.

A "vote-for-fork" feature could also be a good idea.

A vote for fork is vote away from spoon! #dontbesheeple

@gjacobse said in What I miss the most:

I saw one on the drive Sunday - I do not recall where it was.

Menards is similar to maybe Walmart - but better as I understand. They are not in my area - but I know they are in Ohio....

I'm guessing that you saw them in Ohio. That is where I saw them closest.

So my new "little buddy" BB-8 was a big hit around the office at lunch today.
If anyone has $150 in their toy budget this month, I highly recommend one.

Putting one of those in patrol mode with a camera feed on your phone would be sweet.

Un/Fortunately there's no camera or sensors

Wouldn't be surprised if that's on the next model since the Force Band was a huge improvement, and how big droning w/ cameras is.

Yup. STD Go might be the hottest new game in Texas. Gotta catch them all indeed.

Your antenna looks like mine. Lock your keys in your car? lol

That was a rental.
