[Wireless Router] How to enable Time Machine feature on ASUS Router? | Official Support | ASUS UK [Wireless Router] How to enable Time Machine feature on ASUS Router?

if your router has a USB port, it likely supports adding a hard drive to create a simple network drive. My Asus has this. Then you can use that as your TimeMachine target. That would require buying just the drive. www.asus.com/uk/support/f...

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

A very long scroll partially unrolled on a not nearly as long table

Lately, I've been researching the life of Barbara Fea who was born in Stronsay some time* in the late 17th century.

Her story is one of power, legal process and, sadly, awful violence. Throughout this, she endures. I want to tell her tale.

* We'll return to her age in a bit because it's important.

Making a complicated design based on vibes and bringing it to a stakeholder to ask "hey what do you think?" is the behavior of a junior UX designer, and wastes everyone's time until they are trained out of it.

With the power of generative AI, now everyone in your company can be that junior designer

Good news: the UK Government is now offering free short courses on how to use the rabid monkey that comes taped to every computer now for some reason! You'll learn how to...

- dodge the monkey's angry fists!
- understand its tortured screams!
- write invoices in bits of poo he's left on your desk!
