Historical definition of decimated: reduce by 10%. Not to 10%.

Modern definition: reduce by significant amount.

Even if they had all parts they would be looking at months of cleanup

Something more like this https://a.co/d/0bgPCSvQ - it should use half the power, it’s way smaller, 2x SATA if you want 2 drives. I haven’t checked if this specific one is 12V, but there are dozens in the same form factor and with similar specs.

There are a lot of atom or mobile i3/i5 powered mini PCs that actually are powered with a 12v brick, in fact most of the industrial ones are. Small form factor, passive cooling, can play media for you and usually comes with 4x 1/2.5gbit Ethernet, so it can double as a router/switch. Usually 10-15w power draw.

Go to AliExpress and simply search for minipc and make sure it has a SATA connector for your hard drive.

4k 120Hz HDR is what current gen consoles can output right now and what is becoming common even on mid-range TVs (quality of HDR aside). I’d expect you’d want most of that experience or future-proof solution that would allow that when you get a new TV.

• No SBC that I know of can handle 4k 120Hz HDR output, so getting the most of moonlight is not possible.
• Low latency decode requires some work to get running
• AV1 encode/decode has even more latency, do you will be running higher bitrate h264, which in turn means wired network connection is recommended.
• Streaming services limit 4k and/or HDR access on a lot of content to locked devices. E.g. Netflix only guarantees 720p sdr when watching in a browser - how much more you get depends on the deal with the copyright holder.

Tl;dr; a long, active fiber HDMI cable + USB over IP might be cheaper, better and easier. That’s what I ended up buying despite the cable length being 60m (200ft).

Before COVID: all of it. After COVID mostly jobs that require you to physically interact with stuff.

I used to be allowed to WFH once a week. It’s been almost 3 years since I’ve been to the office and I no longer live on the same side of the ocean. Same company.

Emigration due to the war is about 10x of the Russian losses as reported by Ukraine

I’ve had a drug test on most vyvanse refills. The doctor had a checkbox to confirm a negative drug test that showed up when Vyvanse was selected because of either legal classification (schedule) of the medication or internal procedures of the clinic - I’m not 100% sure which.

Canada is way more strict about prescribing most controlled substances - you wouldn’t get opiates unless you are recovering from major surgery and even then only enough to get you through the worts of it. it’s generally accepted that certain things will hurt and unless it’s a chronic or debilitating pain you are supposed to deal with it with minimum pharmacological assistance.

E.g. getting wisdom teeth pulled would get you high dose ibuprofen (Advil), maybe something a notch stronger than that.

In some places such tests are recommended if not mandatory for all controlled substances, even if their potential for abuse is minimal - vyvanse is an amphetamine precursor, so it’s classified like that. It’s a class above antidepressants for example - more tightly controlled.

I’ve had to submit to a drug test on most refills and I’ve had it explained using the exact same wording, so I suspect that was a standard script he was following (in Ontario). There was even a difference when getting the pills because of their legal status: pharmacy was allowed to courier antidepressants for another family member, while vyvanse was in person pickup only from the same pharmacy.

Also AFAIK Vyvanse can have a nasty interaction with meth.

tl;dr; this is likely a standard procedure they use for all controlled substances

Edit: I just remembered my doctor showed me he literally had a checkbox in their filing system to confirm a drug test and it only showed up when a controlled substance was prescribed.

Budget (about 200 euro):

• Mikrotik hex s router
• TP-Link eap610 access point
• Unmanaged trendnet switch

Better(400-500 euro):

• Fanless minipc running pfsense - like this https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005515731536.html
• TP-Link eap653 access point
• mikrotik CRS310-8G+2S+IN switch

TP-Link omada line is basically a bunch of ubiquity clones at much lower price
