Giving it a look now, much appreciated.

That’s my worst case, but I’d rather not as there are times when I’d like to change the macros during work and I won’t be bringing a personal computer with me to work to do so.

My employer does have a process for requesting software, but it’s a very large company and requires that it go through a whole vetting process and security audits before having it added to the approved software list. I’m already applying some pressure to have some more important software added and am trying not to burn up all the good will I may have 😅.

I am actually able to connect to the VIA web app, but I don’t have any compatible devices currently. It’s very possible though that we may have some software or policy that will block it when I attempt to do so though (it’s not unusual to be able to connect to a website and do certain things only to have specific actions trigger some piece of our security suite). Knowing what the average user is like I can’t really fault them for it, but it is annoying.

All that said, would you have a recommendation for the cheapest VIA pad on Aliexpress that I could buy to test with?

It might be a bit overboard, but I have a Redmine instance running on my NAS that can likely do everything you want. Some out if the box, some with plugins. It’s pretty nice. If you don’t want to worry about installing it you can download a complete installer from Bitnami.

Researching anything that happened on the internet right now in the future is going to be absolute hell considering how much useful user information and interactions are “locked” behind Discord. Is there a term for something worse than link rot? With link rot it’s a case of a known unknown. With information on Discord it’s an unknown unknown.

Sure, but not even close to all. It’s been literal years since the change. I was understanding at first, but now it’s just becoming frustrating. Things that are very easy in desktop Firefox just isn’t possible on mobile Firefox. And yes, I am running Firefox nightly and custom collections for my extensions on mobile.

I don’t agree with the OP that removing the jack is a mortal sin. However having worked in related induatries, I don’t think removing it really saves much if any money and it is entirely possible to make a phone or any other electronic device water resistant even with a headphone jack. Hell you can get wired ear buds that can be submerged in water.

I know it wasn’t mentioned specifically, but even fairly cheap watches will be water proof to like 30 meters and still have a user replacable battery.

I just wish companies would be honest about it.

I have a 512GB microSD card in my current phone that is about half full. I don’t have any interest in paying a subscription to store my stuff on someone else’s server (“the cloud”), when the SD card only cost me a couple of months of what a subscription would. I periodically back up the SD card at home.

As to what’s on it? The usual stuff like pictures and videos, but also game ROMs, call recordings, shows/movies, ISOs, utilities (I can make my phone appear to be a flash drive, bootable even). I also backup my texts and other records using a third party app. When I do have to swap phones, transferring the SD card over and then restoring stuff like settings, messages, records, etc is way faster than any of the OEM transfer tools.

Shit that’s good.

Doesn’t Mullvad allow you to pay via mailed money?
