I just got an email about a new power supply board for the rpi5 - PD Power Extension Board for Raspberry Pi 5. It’s on their pihut website and is $20. Has multiple input types.

Not sure what circles you run in, but it’s talked about a lot with my family and friends. We quote it quite a bit. But hey, my brain is not a good brain.

I was downvoted to fuck when I suggested this as a conspiracy theory on reddit. One of the reasons I left that place, because of the toxicity. I thought it was a thought that might have had some merit. You don’t really know what’s behind the glass on that sensor.

Maybe we just need a code word that we never tell the computers. Like a secret handshake.

I wish I could upvote this comment twice! I have the same feeling about how the media and others keep trying to push this “intelligence” component for their gain. I guess you can’t stir up the masses when you talk about LLMs. Just like they couldn’t keep using the term quad copters, and had to start calling them drones. Fucking media.

- Comment on Rant: Cura did the one thing a slicer shouldn't do 4 months ago:
I work in IT and I get that, but we also should have some reasonable expectations here for how a program should handle updates. Not losing key configuration files is definitely one of those.
- Comment on Rant: Cura did the one thing a slicer shouldn't do 4 months ago:
Totally agree. Cura has bit me more than once with losing my settings. To Lmaydev’s point, it’s hard to “back things up” when you don’t know where the settings are stored and sometimes you don’t know you need to be Sherlock Holmes until it’s too late.

We that’s some shit. I often use that to get info off of pages that I won’t be clicking on normally.
- Comment on Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year 7 months ago:
Yeah, I completely agree. There’s no way it would ever happen, but damn wouldn’t it be beautiful to watch if it did.
- Comment on Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year 7 months ago:
At some point, people need to band together and do something. Like $12 hotdogs and beer at stadiums. If people would just collectively say no to shit like that and refuse to buy them for a number of games, they would be forced to bring the prices back down to something more reasonable. But we as a group just cannot seem to do things until an extreme is met. To put it in perspective what I am saying is, if everyone just didn’t buy it, then it wouldn’t become the norm.
- Comment on Tesla will sue you for $50,000 if you try to resell your Cybertruck in the first year 7 months ago:
Not sure what you are talking about. I have the freedom to not sign some dumbass agreement with tesla and not purchase a shitty looking cyber truck, and I will use that very freedom. No one is being forced to take this deal.

They are the same people who complain when a news story alerts them to the fact that facebook is collecting their data. They whine about how the govt should do something about this egregious act, and then share that with all their facebook friends.

- Comment on [VERGE] Amazon will now let you access Crunchyroll’s anime library right from Prime Video 8 months ago:
But there’s a convenience aspect in that Amazon handles all billing, and more importantly, you can watch these channels directly inside Prime Video without having to hop between numerous entertainment apps.
And the tradeoff for this convenience is that Amazon will scour your usage and make whatever they can of their findings.

“We’ve seen how much fans love to immerse themselves in the world of our movies and TV shows, and we’ve been thinking a lot about how we take that to the next level,” Josh Simon, Netflix’s VP of consumer products, told Bloomberg."
I feel like I have awoken in some weird universe lately. These execs are out of their minds, or the general public is. I guess it could be both.
- Comment on [Opinion] Xbox Game Studios has a GamePass Problem 8 months ago:
They have forced the Bedrock version on us, which in my opinion is not as well written. They then forced everyone to convert their id to an xbox id. Personally, they have really just seemed to have forgotten about the Switch Edition. It takes a minute to load up and be ready to play. I am talking about loading resource packs, etc. Why it takes more than a second to load your character is beyond me. They ruined the ability to pop out of an online game and check anything, like friends online status, or screen shots you have taken. The second you click on the home button you are disconnected from the online game, including realms. This was an update that caused this, as this used to be doable. I know it all sounds nitpicky, but when you start collectively adding it together it’s just a worse gaming experience. Mojang seemed to actually care and take the time to look at issues and want to make things better. Definitely doesn’t have that same feel now. Might as well be yelling at clouds for all the good it does us. So I expect Call of Duty will get the same. Sure they will make promises that nothing will change, and they will do their best to maintain the status quo, but their detrimental changes will slowly start creeping in.

FTA “How will Xbox Games Studios treat Call of Duty? Only time will tell.”
Just ask any Minecraft player. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you are in for a bumpy ride callers of duty.
- Comment on Utah sues TikTok, alleging it lures children into addictive and destructive social media habits 8 months ago:
They will impose a digital curfew on people under 18, which will require minors to get parental consent to sign up for social media apps and force companies to verify the ages of all their Utah users.
This is laughable. I played this game before with my own kids. I would find their new Myspace account and have it removed. They would just go to a friends house whose parents didn’t care and sign up for a new one. It was a back and forth. Then my now-ex started arguing with me about it once the kids started whining about it. Now they are grown and can do whatever they want. It was a battle I was never going to win, but if Utah thinks they can manage this, I would love to watch. Gonna go make some popcorn.
- Comment on Welcome to the Age of Paid Social Media 8 months ago:
I am going to say this, and it’s because this is such a cliche’ response to me at this point, but I call bullshit. People making these excuses are laughable to me now with this. You aren’t talking about scaling Mt. Everest levels of effort here. Everyone you are communicating with has a phone number, and you could take the time to call them if you wanted to communicate with them, use text messaging, or email. As for the birthdays and events, go to the dollar store, or an equivalent and buy a calendar. They sell them with cute pics, or funny quotes, or whatever. Then mark the dates down. It’s fucking comical to me now how people act about getting rid of facebook. If facebook was waking up every morning and driving you to work, then yeah, it might be hard, but come on people… I feel like I am watching a b movie where everyone has been put in a trance and is just walking around mindlessly all saying the same mantra. “It’s too hard. Can’t break free.” And none of this has even touched on privacy, of which there is none on facebook. People spouting this are just willing to give up any shred of privacy for some minor convenience and it’s frustrating to watch.
- Comment on Welcome to the Age of Paid Social Media 8 months ago:
Depends. Everyone claims they are on social media platforms to stay in touch with family and friends. I know no one on here and am fine with the anonymity. So it’s up to you if you count this.
- Comment on Welcome to the Age of Paid Social Media 8 months ago:
Last line of the article: “Just like choosing not to ride on airplanes isn’t really an option, for many, using social media isn’t much of a choice either.”
Holy crap. We have reached that point. As someone with no social media, it just amazes me how people have let these apps become ingrained in their lives. Sad in my opinion.
