I actually find it very nice to get notifications about my toaster oven being preheated or done cooking, or being able to see how much time is left or remotely stop it.

What does the dismiss button do? Or the back button.

Just based on the messages (that could be miss leading) sounds like some features will not work.

Intel is so dumb for doing this.

You can download everything here. https://meshcentral.com/downloads.html

But to your point https://www.meshcentral.com (That is linked in the Github page give me a certificate error. Guess they need to fix that lol) But https://meshcentral.com (without the www) works.

Github page has been fixed!

Have you tried changing the default view from Columns to List? IMO it makes the UI much better. Then you can add in a more details about each PC on the main view. Make is very useful if you have a lot of computers you are managing.

You can also switch from the left bar interface to top bar interface. That looks better to me. Also dark mode.

Completely disagree. Meshcentral is amazing. I use it almost everyday. Sure it has some querks, and I am not a fan of the default layout but that is an easy change.

It is certainly not discontinued.

Yes Ylian (the developer) was laid off from Intel and later started working at Microsoft. But the project is still alive and well. (He owns the domain so he was able to keep the website alive. Another user (Si458) Has taken up alot of the development (30 commits this month ) and Ylian has also continued development although much less now he has a day job. (1 Commit this month)

The only thing that got discontinued was the publicly hosted server of MC. That was costing to much and it required to much maintenance now this became a side project. So you will need to self host it now.

If you drain the UPS past 50% it really kills the life of the batteries.

In the Enterprise you probably have generator backup. So the UPS only need to keep things running for 30 second to a minute. So that never happens.

When that person is a public figure I think it is news worthy. Because it won’t be one person but a handful. As I am betting alot of people who follow them will want to try it out as well.

This is advertising 101.

Downside is if the public figure has a bad experience it will discourage many people from not even trying.

That is what they are saying.

They are just pointing out the exception. The only way you wouldn’t need to sideload F-Droid is if it happened to be pre-installed on the OS itself.

Isn’t that what side loading is?

My definition of side loading is installing anything outside of an app management system. For example going to a website and downloading the APK and installing it.

Don’t you need to side load F-Droid? That is what I did.

Maybe I have just had back luck but syncing my files across all of my devices has always burned me at some point. No matter what software I have used I have overwritten something by accident or I try and delete something and it doesnt get deleted on all device. Or get a bunch of conflicting files and now i need to figure out what file I want etc…

I do use some syncing but it is mostly between only two devices. Often times it is only a 1 way sync. For example photos on my phone get synced to my NAS automatically.

For me keeping all of my files in one place is the way to go. I just have everything on a NAS. (TrueNAS) All of my devices connect to that and i just edit them directly over the network.

I have a VPN for remote access.

True but It will become a bigger deal every passing day that is the problem.

I also wonder if search engine’s will delist results after a period of time. If the site is blocking them. After all you don’t want your top results to just be 404s all of the time.

Sure you can criticize as much as you want but if you are wrong in your criticism it just damages all of your criticism over all.

In my opinion it is important to state facts not fiction. This was not Microsoft’s fault, no matter how much you hate Microsoft it still wasn’t there fault and saying that is was is incorrect and doesn’t solve the issue.

Both are very trustworthy.

What kind? Personally I wouldn’t trust any kind with raisin.

money has to be backed by the state

I think the point if Bitcoin was to challenge this statement.

Public services require a little more work, you will need to rely on a service from a company, either a tunnel (e.g. Tailscale funnel) or a VPS.

I have been hosting random public services for years publicly and it hasn’t been an issue.

Edit, I might have miss understood the definition of public. I have hosted stuff publicly, however everything was protected by a login screen. So it wasn’t something a random person could make use of.

AI will remember that.
