    One of the issues I have with USB c is that a lot fall under can or may. It can have 20 conductors it could just be the same as USB 2 with only 5.

    What changes with wooCommerce? It's not something needed today, but I can see it being used in the future.

    I can get by on Linux but I don't want to rely on my skills. I'm looking for a click install on a hosting provider.

    My girlfriend has started a small business and is looking into a blogging platform. What she has tried so far hasn't been great. She has decided to go the WordPress route and this is where I am involved.

    Any suggestions for hosting providers? What features should I be considering or anything else I should be aware of when it comes to picking a provider?
    Right now I am looking at Bluehost vs Hostinger. Bluehost just seem to be the most advertised. Hostinger seemed to offer more for the same cost.

    Thanks! Museums are just the thing I was thinking of. The popular ones were all sold out but I found a few that seem good enough.

    My biggest issue is getting going. This along with a few other suggestions at least got on a train to Amsterdam. At a minimum check it out and eat some food.

    Can you change the code on the yubikey? Im still learning how to use it but it just seems insecure since it just acts as a keyboard and I have entered it in the wrong spot a few times.

    I worked/work in support in the industrial sector and playing a roll in the company dropping direct phone support. The issue for us was the majority of the people who call are lazy. Most of our calls could be answered my RTFM ( READING THE FINE MANUAL) or the customer didn't even know what the issue was. Lots of calls were people who didn't know what they wanted and expected us to figure it out. There were also calls along the lines of "ok to do that you need to do xyz" "great hang on while I try that"... ... "Did it work?" "I'm just taking it out of the box"...
    Dropping free direct phone support gave the team more time to creat additional guides for various common issues. Once a case was created we could also do a little research then call out. Rather then pick up the phone spend thirty minutes figuring out what the customers problem was then reading them the guide for another 45 minutes.

    I'll admit some issues wit be dragged out for no reason where a phone call would have made it quicker. Just enough were wasted time. A few people ruined it for everyone.

    Was just thinking something similar. I have been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. As a teacher, my mom knew I had it but didn't want me on medication, rather I struggled through school. I also think I have dyslexia, which would explain my struggles with mental math and spelling. The issues that gave me in school that could have been avoided is ridiculous.

    We're they all that bad? I think 4 was just really good. Battlefield 1 and 5 I would argue we're good as well just not a modern war.

    Battlefield 2042 was disappointing for me but I'm not sure if that's just because my gaming habits changed, the media around it or if it really was that bad. I didn't buy it right away and when I did I went into it knowing the reviews were not great. I ended up hardly playing losing interest fast.

    Not really, just not ideal for a controller. You end up relying on the auto pilot a good amount and and just avoid some things. I ended mapping the scanning feature to one of the track pads to make it easier. You just lock onto your target and manage your velocity. I'll have to look into how to share it.

    Future Cop. It had such an interesting multiplayer game type. It was a tower defense and 3rd person mec/car shooter. Always wanted a remake/reboot of it.
