I need Microsoft Word for freelancing and I don’t want to pay $100/year for M365.
It’s really the only thing keeping a few of my friends and family members from switching.
Yeah, I could spin them up a VM and do some RDP trickery, but these aren’t super technical people - the friction would mean emergency tech support calls that I’m not ready to answer.
Unifi Protect is what runs on the CloudKey/NVR physical device - you don’t need to have it go through to the Internet.
Remember, for better or worse Ubiquiti is positioning themselves as SMB Enterprise security - some companies won’t want their footage to be accessible outside their network.
This is maybe controversial, but I love the Ubiquiti security stuff. Cameras (interior and exterior) doorbells, etc, it’s all great. Pricey, but you get what you pay for.
And the data can stay local or be accessible via their services.
I chose to go local only, grabbed their UNVR and populated it with 4x 2TB drives and it has enough space to handle 7 cameras HD history for about a month.
Nzb geek and planet are two good ones.
There’s a few - but typically the free ones have limits on the number of downloads per day.
Nzbfinder and bin search used to be okay.
Look at newsgroups - some indexers are free, others have a lifetime fee that’s reasonable. I moved to nzbs and haven’t looked back - I can’t get dinged for sharing copyrighted stuff if I’m only downloading, never uploading.
First, check https://meshmap.net/ to see if anyone is around. If not, you can be the first (it just will be very quiet).
Next look for a device. I’m partial to this one: https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-E-for-Meshtastic-p-5913.html - just make sure whatever you get it’s spec’ed for your region.
Then just download the Meshtastic app on your Android or iOS device and you’re set.
Yup, another vote for brother laser printers. If you’re worried about them applying updates that add DRM to toner cartridges, but you still want network printing you can do one of two things:
Heck, do both if you’re paranoid.
Either way it’s not getting updates unless you manually change things or download the firmware updates on your Linux box and apply it that way.
Does anyone know if Fairphone supports tap-to-pay options? I tried GrapheneOS and although most of it was fine, the inability to use Google wallet for tap to pay was a deal-breaker.
My local credit Union doesn’t have an app that supports NFC, and since I’m based in the US, my options are relatively limited.
Oh, and I don’t want to buy a smartwatch just so I can put Google wallet on that instead.
