  Don’t count on it. On really hot days the interior of a car sitting under the sun can reach petg’s glass transition temp. I’ve had petg prints, also attached to the visor as it happens, soften up and deform in my car.

  Past experiences

  So that the toddler can enter the workforce and start pulling itself up by the bootstraps as soon as possible. The lithium mines need more bodies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What host names do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have node named pve too. Small world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I drive a heavily touch-screenified car, and I hate it. Have had the damn thing for almost a year but I still get nervous when I have to adjust the A/C.

  They won’t stop until even the pedals are touch buttons, are they?

  That is woke. Banned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can have devices on your wifi network without giving them access to the internet. You set your firewall (which, for most people, is the router that comes with the internet subscription) to block all internet traffic while still allowing them to communicate with the other devices on the same local network. Fairly straightforward on most routers with a little bit of time spent looking up the basics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn a 5-star safety rating in Europe | Euro NCAP will introduce new testing rules in 2026 requiring physical controls for the highest safety score⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely don’t see the problem with those. Amber lights on the left side of the car light up, that can only mean one thing. There is no ambiguity there whether they’re playing snake or just flashing. I have never, on no occasion, found myself confused by those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you weren’t planning to play PhysX games on Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only part of physx in that game that I remember is that it used to cause massive performance and stability issues.

  Twice, because usually it’s two sticks.

  In any case, RAM failure is rare enough that quadrupling its chances is not gonna make any meaningful difference. Even if it does, RAM is the easiest thing to replace in a PC. Don’t even need to go offline while waiting for a new stick. Someone who’s got the cash to build that thing in the first place won’t be too upset by the cost of another 32gb stick either, I don’t think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New thermoelectric generator converts vehicle exhaust heat into electricity, boosting fuel efficiency⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This concept isn’t new either. Factories have been using very similar methods to use the heat of the exhaust gasses to power the sensors and whatnot on top of their smoke stacks for some time now, for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody’s gonna dispute the necessity of some sort of server somewhere in the mix. But does it need to be something like PSN? A central 3rd party service that most games only use because they’re forced to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what was the last game you played in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stellaris. As a hyper-aggressive, warmongering, Rome-obsessed species of lovebirds. All the organic aliens have been turned into GMO livestock and all the machine aliens have been forced into slavery. I bomb the planets into oblivion not because I need to, but because I imagine my pretty birds would enjoy doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Migrating from Nextcloud AIO to Owncloud Infinite Scale: Good Idea?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Podman has a built-in automatic update feature that monitors the source repo. Could be useful for you.

  How does that work? Based on imei perhaps? Does spoofing that not do the trick?
