As a comparison too SpaceX can launch Starship at least 6 more times before reaching the cost of a single Saturn V launch, I an not even talking about development cost.

Starship also did reach orbital velocity on several launches.

The goals are different.

I think Nixos and a nas would for your need.

This is what I’m doing, I have two laptop, one for work at my office and one at home for work/hobbies.

I have a nixos config synced on github with all my of is configuration, package list extensions …Some of the config is specific to each laptop like the part related to the hardware and steam, games stuff only on my home computer. The rest is the config is shared and all my files synced on my NAS.

So whenever I change something on one the change is reflected in the other. I really enjoy this setup and I’m thinking of adding my server in it too.

I used it a few times for work even. At the time I had a usb-c hub connected with a screen, Ethernet, 65w charger, a keyboard and mouse and I had my laptop that I was carrying with me.

Once or twice I arrived at work and realized I forgot my computer at home … And I have a 2hour drive … So I connected my phone to the hub and work on it. It worked well to send email, use an internet browser, a bit of document editing and mostly connecting to remote desktops.

There is the kiwix hotspot.

A WiFi hotspot that gives you access to the entire Wikipedia, medical information, homesteading books …

I agree with Nixos as well. Setting it up properly for the first time can take some time but after that it’s very much “forget it”.

It’s great that school are surveiling kids.

Does it means that school will finally get an appointed psychologist that meets the kids regularly to check on their mental health ? This way if there is any sign of depression they can easily get some free counseling sessions ?

What do you mean “This is not how we do things here !” ?

It’s interesting to see how much nixos grew over the last 2 years, even though the distribution exists since 2003.

I know it’s not really a truck, it’s a preorder and limited to 80km/h but I love the look of this thing and it cost 10800€

I would imagine they use the microphone, accelerometer, some processing power and internet connectivity (WiFi or mobile).

Trying to set up a dedicated hardware with ask that would cost way more than just buying a bunch of pixel phone.

Same for the software, on a smartphone you can just create an app that will record and process all the information vs creating a custom firmware on a custom hardware.

I guess there is also the availability of the technicians.

Finding someone to develop and maintain an android app is much easier than finding someone to maintain a custom hardware/firmware.

Yeah, not really surprising

25 years ago the system was setup as a quick temporary solution.
