  Eh, the printers should be swapped for laserjet to save money and ears. I don’t even know where one could buy paper for dot matrix printers either.

  Are we considering the ending the last episodes or the movies? Cause if the former it’s terrible, if the latter it’s “I have no words for how the hell this crazy shit was approved for production”

  It’s more fun on a rewatch. Going in knowing you catch a lot of things you missed the first time.

  Wait. It’s been a long time since I’ve used Win 95, but it didn’t have virtual memory as an option?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah secure boot really fucked with me for like an hour. Then bitlocker stalled me for days. Windows marks it’s territory with asparagus piss and vinegar. Disable fastboot and secure boot, remove bitlocker.

  Lemme guess, Secure Boot prevented installation?

  Waymo didn’t switch to Sodium? I would have thought they’d use the newer batteries to save money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the few times I’ve seen them set like that everyone is stopped, and just kinda waving people to go. I think it’s to do with power outage, and tye place I’ve seen it twice is a 4x3 lane intersection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I admit I scratch my head at 4 way intersections with blinking yellows on all 4 though. Usually the bigger road gets the yellows for caution, the adjacent lanes have to yield.

  Police and firefighters would love to have an excuse to go demolition derby on these things I bet.

  Remember ever company that cuts consumer production over private ai production. When the bubble pops stick with the companies that remembered consumers are the longterm profit. For the rest, let their shareholders eat them alive as they sell every share from beneath them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fair's fair.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I figure so many of them are so old the drug test would come out inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily. Just think of all the shit people have to take in retirement homes then add in a factor of free healthcare and access to top tier doctors who can prescribe without concern over ethics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo... This is happening on Imgur⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah, one has to think to feel empathy and compassion. It’s easy to hate, place blame and ignore responsibility. I am all for peace and equal treatment, but those who refuse tolerability must be stopped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ideas for deadspace behind fridge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d make a pull out pantry but also consider wiring in a battery power station inside to power the fridge during power outages.

  This. I won’t hate on someone for their beliefs. I will not tolerate hate and intolerance though. I will judge you by your actions and inactions. Ya wanna worship TFSM, cool, wear your collander in pride. Go forth and show peace to all, I shall not infringe.

  Xumo I’m guessing? Look for another streaming device. Anything with 4gb ram should carry you a loooong way. I just looked up the cheap 4k stream devices at Walmart, they support Jellyfin as well. In the interest of storage space over quality, most of my vids are 1080p, and they rarely stutter with pure software decoding.

  Watch them retreat once Grindr states that due to increasing safeguards and transparency, all of their files will be released to the public.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar Powered Wifi Camera with Wireguard⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I went for cheap, and syored away. The battery sits at the bottom of the stilt legged coup with a screwed on door to keep water and chickens out. Panel just sits on the roof. I set this all up about 2mo before wyzecam with batteries were announced. Been running ever since. This time of year this area is always cloud covered, and limited daylight. The panel is an older one, not quite as efficient as the one that runs my daytime radiator fans in the hoopouse (no battery, just a 10in and 8in radiator fan that sound like jet engines on full sunny days. I tried the camp ceiling fans but they kept burning out). Fans are mostly to help prevent mold in that one, and keep heat even during summer.

  I have this one connected: a.co/d/0dkouiZ

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar Powered Wifi Camera with Wireguard⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gonna add 100w solar panel works great (just not this time of year, mine picks back up around February), and get a gel battery 100ah or more. Lead doesn’t cycle as much and doesn’t like cold. A cheap charge controller with usb is all you need to power most cameras (I run two wyzecams with the panel on the top of my chicken coop to watch my driveway) Just know this time of year lacks sunlight, I might get 2 to 5 hours this time of year, with 24h later in the year.

  He was indeed a badass… and a war criminal (although I admit dude was incensed about Germany killing his Jewish family, so I get it) But seriously, a mayor?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I signed up for Trump Mobile two weeks ago and I still don’t have my SIM⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember that those MAGA dumbasses aren’t just wasting money. They’re adding more power to Trump. Fucker went bankrupt six times and fonally found the holy grail of scams: be the senile puppet boy of the rich corpos. I always thought W was a puppet, but he seems to have at least drawn a line at full blown tyranny. We need to convince these people to buy stupid shit again… beanie babies 2.0?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw it, I’m installing Linux⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been mostly Windows free for 6 months now. I use Win 11 for work and I bought an old Surface Pro 4 with Win 11 installed to learn Nomad Sculpt. I am just too afraid of testing Linux on a machine tailor made around Windows.

  Unfortunately it would still be able to pick up the signal but the Tuner wouldn’t be able to convert the newer digital format.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TIL there was a TV tuner attachment for the Game Gear!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My Dad took 16 rechargeable AAs and ran a small circuit board to them with an adapter cable coming out. The zipper cases they made for GGs had a large cavity behind the storage area that was perfect for hiding them. I could play for an extra 16 hours with those things. Had to recharge them with a huge wall wort but it was the best gift my Dad ever made for me. I loved that damn system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's on a mission⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You get 6 points a year. You’re at 5 now because last February you were snowed in for 5 days without power. You just have to make it until Dec 31st.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My problem is that my battery case has stopped charging along with my phone. Phone only charges with high wattage chargers, and phone case only charges with low wattage ones. Still get like 3 days charge on the case, but now takes like 16 hours to fully charge. Also, taking the phone case off so much eventually opened the back of my S20fe. Fixed that with S7000.
