Well, that’s super lame! I wish there was a good alternative. I’ll probably stick with it as long as ReVanced works.

I’ve gotten that occasionally, it usually fixes with a refresh. Was it persistent for you?
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I gave up carrying that torch. Lol. I hoped I could jump-start it, but nobody else seems to be interested.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 1 week ago:
Probably around the time they need to get serviced and it costs as much as a Seiko dive watch and takes like 6 weeks.

I admire the engineering of the solar, tool. It’s really cool that the Eco-Drives don’t even look like they have a panel. Are the dials like, micro perforated or something? I’ve never taken one apart. And the fact that you can store them for like, 6 months and they’ll still have a charge is very nice.

Sure!
Here is my SKX and an Invicta Pro Diver.
SKX has new hands, dial, chapter ring, crystal, date wheel, bezel insert, and crown. And I ended up doing an NH-35 swap on the 7S26. So basically, just the case is original now.
The Pro Diver has new hands, dial, bezel, bezel insert, high domed acrylic crystal, and I ground the crown guards off.

Hell yeah! Nice collection.

You sure do! And I love them all. I love modding them, I love wearing them. Love learning about them. I’d say my Seagull chrono gets equal wrist time to the Breitling. I try to keep everything in rotation. Except the George Stockwell trench watch… I’m afraid it might be a touch radioactive due to the radium.

True, but they are all insured and you can always report the serial number to a database so it gets flagged if it pops up somewhere.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, let’s not add the Seikos to the list. I have plenty of those. SKX007, SRP775, and like 5 or 6 I’ve built with Seiko NH-35 movements. I have a watch with a Seagull ST19 movement. I have some vintage ones, like a Timex Viscount and an Elgin Sportsman. But all of those are $500 and under (mostly under 200) and I don’t look at them as dumb purchases.

- Comment on Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October 2 weeks ago:
Oh man, it’s delightful. Last October, I woke up and Copilot had installed on my computer. That day, I tried three distros and landed on Mint. Haven’t looked back since. It’s on all my computers now. Except my XP era Dell Dimension, which is for XP obviously. But yeah, I have almost all of my Windows games running now, except Mechwarrior 3 and Battlezone II. But I guess that’s what the old Dimension is for! The hardest thing was WoW for my wife (neither of us play, her friends forced it upon us). Steam games work pretty much out of the box. I think I had to change which version of Proton I use for 7 Days to Die, but that was it.
The Eleganse theme, with a touch of transparency in the terminal is near perfection to my semi-fancy minimalist tastes. The most ricing I’ve done to it is spending two hours finding the perfect menu icon, but you can do so much more.

I read that as John Travolta in Battlefield Earth angrily asking Barry Pepper if he wanted to eat a rat.

I hate this so much. This is identical to the slop shows my toddler has been into recently. Super Kitties, Spiderman and his Amazing Friends, Paw Patrol, PJ Masks. I hate them all.
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 5 weeks ago:
I actually got rid of all my old MP3s years ago. Not because I regret acquiring them, but because the quality sucked. Even 320kbps. You can’t tell CD from MP3 through my stereo, or in the car. But it is really obvious through my headphones, and ruins my critical listening experience. Had to re-rip all of my CDs to lossless, and lost all the ones I didn’t have CDs for.

I stopped using my hdmi adapter because it wasn’t looking as good as the component video. You got the 1920 to work? What version of OPL do you have? I might have to try it again!
- Comment on Saw this on r*ddit, had to share with my people 2 months ago:
I can just imagine him awkwardly leaning his head way in, with exaggerated kissy lips, and she gives him a brief peck. Then, they embrace. At one point, she says “ow!” And grabs her boob in surprise. He just says “sorry” as he looks to the camera and goes “can we… can we just cut that part?” He turns back to her, attempting another kiss, and she just pushes him away. She just hands him the diskette with the secret plans and asks him to leave. He asks if he can call her sometime, and if they could go out again. To which she just flatly replies with a curt “no” and shuts the door.

Now that you mention it, I’ve had mixed results forcing resolutions through OPL. But the factory ones you do with button combos always work great.

Oh, you can still get storage on the slim. I just did Gusse’s IDE resurrector on mine, but there is a better version out there now with much larger SD card support.
- Comment on Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet 2 months ago:
I played through Black for the first time this year on my old Fat with a sata hdd. How great was that game? It felt a generation ahead of its time, especially using the higher res display mode and the component video.
If you don’t already have a good controller solution, I highly recommend the Brook Wingman. I’m using mine with a Dual Shock 3 for the analog buttons (gotta have them for Ace Combat), but it supports so many controllers.

It gets to the end of the movie, and he says "OK, i think I’m ready to do this for real. It pans out to a huge set. The whole thing was just The Rehearsal for James to actually go on the mission.

That’s pretty easily avoidable, too. Don’t play online games, or talk to people. That’s what I do.

- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 2 months ago:
I use the proprietary software for mine. Flashforge was nice enough to put out a native Linux version. I like it. But it’s very comforting to know that if I stop liking it for any reason, Cura works just fine with my printer. I don’t get using your closed source software as a selling point, though.
- Comment on Is it possible to sell semi-old computers/parts? 2 months ago:
Oh, thats really cool. I never had any pre-pentium stuff. I used an Apple ][ in school, and I remember playing Oregon Trail on 5.25 floppies, on a beautiful green monochrome monitor. But my first computer at home was a Pentium 133. It was a Compaq LTE 5300, with the docking bay, the CD drive, extra batteries, all the fixings. I loved that thing.
- Comment on Is it possible to sell semi-old computers/parts? 2 months ago:
I wish I still had my old computers. I really miss my 98 machine with an 8mb 3D Rage Pro. I used that until 2005. Ive been buying some WinXP errands stuff recently, since it seems to be in the sweet spot for buying right now. I got a pair of quad core Xeons for $10! Ive got 32gb of DDR2 for $35. The GTX 980ti wasn’t super cheap, but thats a card you maybe still could use today. This is going to be the bitchin’-est XP machine. Im excited.
