Does it still let you sign in locally if you disable network interfaces in BIOS?
Don’t think so. The setup itself can’t complete without internet.
- Comment on Nvidia creates gaming-centric AI chatbot that runs on your GPU, locally. 1 week ago:
I’ve overclocked your GPU by 60mhz
What? Did you overclock core or memory? Would overclocking by 60mhz even make a difference in both cases? Did you adjust the voltage accordingly?
I don’t know shit about overclocking and yet I still know that it’s half-assing it

- Comment on Qobuz reveals how much it really pays per stream, and I want to see more of this transparency to help us spend money more ethically 1 week ago:
I’m pretty happy with Tidal so far; I tried Qobuz back when I was looking for an alternative to Spotify and I remember the Android app being borderline unusable. I might be misremembering things though.
- Comment on Battle of the dirt-cheap tablets: Amazon Fire HD 8 vs. Walmart Onn 8 2 weeks ago:
No one should buy either of them IMO. These super cheap mobile devices are more or less e-waste from day one…

Ah I see
- Comment on The Pebble Has Been Brought Back 2 weeks ago:
That quote is on under features on the article for the original Pebble, right? Might be that the Pebble 2 used a different screen; I can’t really find info on that though.
- Comment on The Pebble Has Been Brought Back 2 weeks ago:
Where exactly is that quote from? I had a look through the product page(s) and could only find e-paper being mentioned…

I kinda wanted a Pebble for a while, might as well get one now
- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 2 weeks ago:
when that’s the name of an Intel processor?
It’s totally a reference to that, it has to pretty much… Why? Idk, nostalgia?

And I have PDO pressings of Faith No More albums that are 40 tears old and have just started to rot. Common occurrence with PDO pressings apparently; one manufacturing error is all it takes.

Whoever designs their logos definitely needs a raise IMO.
I’d buy all the stickers if it didn’t cost three times their value just to ship them to me.

Looks interesting, I’ll check it out
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 5 weeks ago:
I tested it at work (we used Obsidian for a while to build an IT Knowledgebase but since moved away from it) and it really couldn’t be simpler.
The main thing that keeps me from trying it is that in other to pay with PayPal you have to use some janky workarounds… As soon as they figure that out I’ll absolutely consider it

I like the Markdown-based approach but Sync is way to expensive for my use-case…
- Comment on The End of an Era: Exploring the Final Sony MiniDisc Walkman Models 1 month ago:
It’s so frustrating that every even remotely interesting thing from the past is now part of its own collector scene… You can’t find decent models for less than 100€ and even then they don’t come with their proprietary battery. Net-MD ones cost even more (without Net-MD you need to spend even more on a HI-FI MD deck to copy tracks over).
The model pictured it one of the later Hi-MD machines that are just Unobtainium these days.

- Comment on Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site 1 month ago:
If it’s a hard drive with moving parts the chances of it still working are zero. Data recovery maybe possible if the platters are still somewhat intact but I doubt he’d even find it to begin with.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 month ago:
With a Spigen Tough Armor case, right? Had one on my 6 Pro, too.
When you consider the 9 Pro’s screen to body ratio it’s pretty compact, especially for a flagship. Ten years ago a phone of its size would have maybe had a 5" screen.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 month ago:
I went from a Pixel 6 Pro (I believe the one on the right might be a Pixel 6 Pro as well) to a Pixel 9 Pro recently and it’s just about the perfect size for a phone IMO (6.3").

I think they mean that it didn’t get worse following the 3G shutdown. Conveniently ignoring all the phones that now get no signal whatsoever.

Have you tried a Vodafone SIM? I’ve heard they’re less strict with their blocking.
