This is the weirdest cyberpunk future.

On one hand, we have surgeons performing surgery with literal augmented reality,

On the other hand, if you’re poor you’ll never have an iota of a chance of seeing that doctor.

I will be loudly knocking on wood after posting this, but I set up my NAS with RAID5 and have had 1 drive die on me but I hot-swapped one in and recovered the entire volume.

No regrets, highly recommend raid5

I’ve asked for help finding API endpoints that do what I want because I’m feeling too lazy to pour over docs and it’ll just invent endpoints that don’t exist

I don’t know this for sure but getting airdrop to work on a win machine might not result in the most stable solution - it looks like most of the solutions are open source projects which are fun but idk if I would personally trust them to be working 100% of the time when you need it at the end of class.

I think it’s a decent option to consider if you can get your hands on an actual Apple device to test with, imho. Airdrop is fairly proprietary and made hard to integrate with by Apple on purpose in my opinion. The other thing to consider is how big the files are - if you use an airdrop receiver you will need enough space on it to hold everyone’s files.

I really liked the email idea someone had too - if the students have their own email addresses they could email their projects to themselves. Same consideration there though, if the files are too big you might piss off the IT guy.

Two more spitballs-

Do the students have any network storage that the IT guy could help get mapped on the ipads?

Does the school have any remote learning type software that students can turn assignments in electronically? Could see if that software has an ipad app that adds a “share to” option when exporting a project? Long shot but maybe

Ooh, i like making them airdrop it to a host machine, that’s one-way. Only deal is that you have to manually order and expose it via network, or restore it later manually both of which are a little untenable 🤔

It’s not an elegant solution but I know they make USB sticks with lightning connectors, could maybe find a way to make them back their projects up to it at the end of the day? Unsure if this works with garage band tho, just brainstorming

My girlfriend doesn’t have one, teehee 🤭

Hilarious. Logitech’s software has always been an afterthought and now they want me to pay for it? Goooo fuck yourselves. I had to sell a perfectly good keyboard and mouse because their stupid g-hub is harder to navigate than a g-spot.

It kept doing updates and every time it did, it would clobber all my macros and bindings and basically factory reset. I had a txt document on my desktop with all my configs so I could set them back up whenever it decided the configuration gods required a sacrifice.

With the sheer amount of money that the rich are throwing at OpenAI via investment firms, they don’t need nor want to charge imo. The fact that they’re being built into Apple’s ecosystem and are getting name-dropped to people inside of iOS is kinda what their investors want.

It’s the age old “walmart opens and operates at a loss for 2 years to force others out of business, then jacks the price” model.

Investors want them to cement this as The AI company & brand so that once it gets giant and starts to be profitable just by being the biggest gorilla in the room, the shares they bought are worth more.

So what I’m trying to say is that our version of capitalism is perfect and makes lots of sense and is in no way insane and degenerate.

Just a word of warning on this - I’ve had CLR ruin countertops and sinks by accidentally leaving it in contact with them for a long time, make sure you’re diligent about wiping up rings from containers and any drips - learn from my expensive mistakes!

Also test it in a hidden spot first to make sure it doesn’t dull the finish or something.

Edit: IMHO give the vinegar suggestion a go first, much less caustic

Honestly, have you tried magic erasers and some elbow grease? That’s usually my go to if regular subbing fails.

Best of luck!

Oh no who could have seen this coming?!

That’ll be why they just pushed a “agree to our new license with arbitrage or your tv is a brick” update

My brain wants to read this as the correct pronunciation twice instead of the phrase

BEES!?!
