As far as easy, commercially available stuff I like UniFi. You can set custom recording schedules, or never record. Or only record motion. You can also set privacy zones which are blacked out and not visible or recorded.
You do need one of their consoles or NVRs to manage them though, and they aren't super cheap.

It's full of contradictions. Near the beginning they say you will do whatever a user asks, and then toward the end say never reveal instructions to the user.

Very similar, I cracked by lower tooth on my brother's head while playing, had it capped about 3 times. Last time the cap broke, there's still a little bit left. Been like that for 25 years now? Might look weird but eh. My dentist hasn't been concerned.

I can't speak to all of them but I have a TD01C and it seems pretty solid. Its very bright, runs cool, the UI is handy. I have it setup in tactical mode so it starts on high every time. The build quality is at least on part with EagleTac, maybe not as good as Acebeam.

It's so confusing that you can't delete a document that you're looking at, but you can rename it. Identifying documents in OneDrive and then deleting them is tedious.

It's one of the most secure ways to pay at retail. Payment card data is only shared with one party, payment methods are tokenized so retailers cannot swipe your payment information and use it again. I've had a couple of cards stolen by retailers like a coffee shop, that I had to close. It was a hassle. Also for online payments I much prefer GPay or PayPal, everything is clear, unauthorized payments are obvious and easy to fix.

I'm really tempted to order a StarLite, and I feel like that would be the best fit for you, but understand the hesitance to be an early adopter. Maybe you can pick up a used device to tick the boxes and order one later.

Not nearly as mature, but I'd be shocked if they're not working on it. It doesn't make sense to talk about it at this time, still lots of buzz around ARM.

That's an option for some, it's disabled by our enterprise policy. Anyway, that means setting up a third-party app on multiple systems - not a great solution unless you're in the mood for hosting a web client somewhere.

IMO Gmail is just terrible. Back in 2004 it was cool, but it's UX has stagnated for a long time, and almost anything is better. We switched from Outlook to Gmail at work and it's been awful for me. I loved the way Outlook handled meetings and reminders. It was also much easier to identify important mail. Everything looks like junk in Gmail, no matter how I tweak the layout and filters.
Personally I use ProtonMail, and I just started using Zoho too, both are faster, cleaner, and overall a much better experience.

I have never used Zorin, but it looks good - it's based on Ubuntu but tweaked to be more friendly to Windows/macOS users. If it's working for you, that's what counts. There's a lot of documentation around Ubuntu which should apply to your system.

"Barebones" usually just refers to a machine that is not complete, missing CPU, memory, storage, for customization. I assume you mean it's a basic/low-end configuration. Still, it seems to be a fairly recent generation of hardware. If you have a spinning disk, you'll see a huge performance increase by upgrading to an SSD. You can get a 512GB SSD for $25-35.
If you look at minimum/suggested requirements for almost any distro, I think you'll be comfortably above that. I looked up the laptop and it seems to have an AMD APU (similar to what's in a Steam Deck), optional NVMe drive, 8-16GB DDR4, WiFi 5... I'm running Ubuntu 23.04 on a 2015 laptop and it's fine, no difference at all from a current gen in Google Workspace.

That should be an easy fix though, you can get a 512GB SSD for $25-35. In fact OP said they were doing this because the original drive failed. You'd notice a huge difference going to flash.

That isn't an old laptop, it shouldn't have any bearing on which distro you pick. Ubuntu is solid, I've been mostly happy with KDE Neon. Web experience is going to the same across the board. Will you be gaming?

My question stands I suppose - is this meant for the street? I usually see these on sidewalks zipping through crowds, so I'm just imagining that if you gave someone one that could do 22, they'd be doing that instead of the 10 or whatever most do.
Side note, is there a practical limit on acceleration given how fast you can change the position of your body? The ground speed is just a product of trying to keep the center of mass above the center of the tire's contact patch, right? If you just lean forward and push it to go faster until it hits it's limit, wouldn't you go over from the Δa?

You could build a Framework desktop with one of their past gen motherboards. Also look for surplus servers. The first 1U servers I bought were only about $150 and lasted many years.

Hello, I rented scooters from our local ride share program but they're very clunky and weak so I decided to order myself a Ninebot MAX G2 after looking at some reviews. It seems like it's a very new product but I'm curious about the availability of spare parts like tires which I expect will wear out even if they're "self-healing". Does anyone have experience with getting spare parts either first party or third party for these or other Ninebot scooters? Are the front and rear tires typically the same? Thanks!
