Sceptre was more of a TV company in the past, but over the last decade or so have definitely moved more into the monitor business. I have actually owned 5 different Sceptre TVs over the last 20 years, but back in the day it was because they were some of the least expensive LCD televisions on the market.
I also bought a Sceptre “dumb TV” within the last year or so and highly recommend it. I had been recommending it over and over, but recently I found that the model I bought was no longer offered. I hope Sceptre didn’t abandon them.
Hah, indeed. That Epic is long dead, just like the Id that made Commander Keen and the Blizzard that made Rock n Roll Racing.
Sounds legit, I turned down multiple higher roles in my last company after doing a test commute to the more remote office. It was consistently 90-120 minutes each way. That would end up with me be away at work for 12-13 hours each day for 8 hours of paid work.
Let’s hope we do in fact get other challengers because Epic is the last company that I want to succeed as a major platform.
Maybe it’s because Epic sucks and are total hypocrites. Google absolutely deserved to lose in court, but Epic and Sweeney can go to hell.
I believe the previous post was talking about Wake on LAN (WoL) and Wake on WLAN (WoWLAN) which are separate things.
Thanks for looking. I’ll see if I can poke around in their forums.
My Pixel 4a was perfect, but it is sadly gone now. I ended up with an 8a to I could keep using grapheneOS, but without a headphone jack I just started using a standalone portable music player. It seems ridiculous because it is, but that is what they forced on me and I will never forgive any of these companies for it.

I just looked at the site and it looks great, but parts of it didn’t look available in English. Do you have any idea if it’s fully compatible with US networks?
They are one of the few OEMs that still offers headphone jacks and they are overall decent midrange phones. If they weren’t so damned big and had an unlocked bootloader for ROM support I’d be on one right now.
The trackball that had the customizable notification LED under it on the Nexus One was so damned cool. Since it was raised up and I had work emails, texts, personal emails, and GTalk all on distinct colors, I could tell from across the room whether it was worth even grabbing my phone.
I bought one of these for my wife and we she has unfortunately had to switch back to her other phone due to some bugs. It seems to fail to be able to make phone calls or maintain bluetooth connections frequently. She has never had an issue receiving calls though. I’m still working on trying to find a solution for her because her old phone is a Pixel 6a which Google just nerfed the battery into oblivion like they did my 4a. I swear they have it out for us.
Give the browser extension uBlacklist a try if you want to always filter out specific sites. I did that to block some AI slop and content mill sites that are good at gaming search engines.
Mine was obviously worse than before, but still lasting well over a day before the previous update. I ended up having to buy a new phone as it was unusable.
It was truly wild to meet him briefly at Defcon after years of seeing “FREE KEVIN” and such.
This is true because Linux users know that daemons are something that you can rein in and perhaps restart on occasion.
I am also a big fan of the MX518 lineage mice, so I hope someone make a version that has that shape. When Logitech released an updated MX518 several years back I bought a couple of them, so I will be good for years hopefully.
Yes, these types of parties were real. I don’t have any theories other commenters haven’t already given, just adding to the choir in case you needed more anecdotal evidence.
I believe this to a degree based on my personal experiences with being thought of as either a brilliant wizard or evil hacker for unimpressive things. It even would happen at different jobs until my current job where my boss is the opposite. he thinks that anything and everything is possible and should be “easy” despite being technically illiterate. His new AI obsession has made it so much worse. I actually miss the super annoying “OMG you can do that? You’re a wizard/hacker/demigod!” days.
