  I wish people would stop censuring themselves on lemmy like they do for the other social medias. You can say shit, and a lot worse now that you aren’t asking a corpo for permission to speak.

  Also, if you can disconnect the plug and read what the voltage is on those holes that might also lead us in the right direction

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Unsolved] Looking for assistance figuring out how to fix this connector.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks as though this is a 5 pin connector, and you are saying that the second pin from the top is not connected but the black wire looks like it’s in that spot. Black is often used for ground, is it possible that the second pin connects to ground instead of one of the through holes? It also looks like there are labels right below the holes that tell you what they are for. If I had to guess, black is ground and red is VCC. The other two are a bit of a mystery, but if you know that the blue wire goes up top then the green is probably the LED. This is all a guess, I don’t actually know. So from the top it might be blue, black, green and then red. You could theoretically just clip the crimps off the wires and solder them in, it’s the quickest and cheapest way. The more correctly way to fix it would be to identify the connector, and buy a crimping kit for that style connector. Common brands are Molex, Amphenol, and JST. It’s probably a JST or a knock off, but they make a boatload of different products. Are there any numbers on either the socket or plug?

  I’m going to assume that this is the death of Zenimax in reality. Microsoft doesn’t do unions, and they will push all the union workers to their breaking point just to prove a point. Elder scrolls fans should boycott Microsoft but it won’t make a dent TBH.

  The Kia’s that where easy to steal used cheap keys though, the push to start Kia’s where not being stolen.

  It also works on simple objects, not as good as Google yet but good enough for me. I can search for keyboard or bicycle and find pictures that way.

  I dumped Google photos for self hosted immich and it’s been great. Not sure if it has the ability to connect to photo frames but if you already self host anything else it’s not too much work to setup.

  The hair helps to keep things dry, instead of letting the sweat build up in the area. Almost the opposite of a lubricant, but I would agree with the idea. I almost never do a smooth shave, but I will trim it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screwed yet again by past me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think everyone has a sort of ‘social battery’ and I think extroverts just have a bit more capacity than introverts. It’s easy for both to run out, and want some alone time, but it takes less time for some of us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is stepping up its efforts to sell you other streaming services⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Playlists, albums, and just the subscription prices. Bundling my price with YouTube premium to make it seem like a deal when I just wanted music and my price was going up. There are still some remixes and things that I can’t find anymore that used to be on my regular playlists. I wish they gave me a little more heads up so I could document some of my playlists. I also purchased albums and Google straight up ripped us off. They should have refunded every purchase we made, or at the very least gave us Google play credit as a show of goodwill, but instead we were told to just try YouTube music, it’s better. Does anybody have a better service for buying books and comics? I really like Google books, bubble zoom is awesome for comics on the go and the syncing between devices is convenient. But I’m so sick of their nonsense, I don’t trust them to not try the same shit with books and I’m reluctant to give them any more of my cash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is stepping up its efforts to sell you other streaming services⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s too bad. Because I don’t know anyone who’s excited to give YouTube any money at this point. I used to buy some movies from Google once in a while, but after they did the bait and switch with music and movies I don’t trust their media store anymore. It’s clearly not profitable enough for alphabet. How much longer are the assets I already paid for going to be available? When will YouTube decide those licenses aren’t worth continuing? I think consumer trust in Google is probably at an all time low.

  And that’s why I don’t preorder games anymore. I’m sure they will fix it, eventually, but it sucks for people who want to play it this weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exclusive: Microsoft is finally shutting down Skype in May⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If I remember correctly MS bought it from eBay. And then promptly did their best job at taking a dump on it. Nothing MS did to Skype was good, disabled encryption by default, removed features, made the network so terrible that they actually make you consider teams. At one point Skype was the only game in town for personal web calls and chats, in the US at least. MS pissed that away, because killing competition and owning patents is more lucrative than creating good products and services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exclusive: Microsoft is finally shutting down Skype in May⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Word on the street is that MS couldn’t harvest the data they wanted out of Skype, even after turning off the encryption. So they let the Skype team keep on going because of reasons, while silently replacing them with teams.

  yeah… we’re going to need you to come in on Saturday this week Algo. Somebody has to redo the phone rack this weekend and we took a vote on it and decided you are the only one who can handle it. Good luck ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah GTFO of here with that. I’ll follow my bosses lead, and wink. Context is everything of course, but if your workplace is so toxic that a winking emoticon sets off drama then I really feel sorry for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Emoji = picture Emoticon= text

  In my experience the only ones that don’t look weird in a work email are:

  :) :( ;)

  Anything else is going to be seen as weird and superfluous. ^u^ :3 would be a hard no for myself, and I know it would get me weird attention that I wouldn’t want.

  This very much depends on your industry, workplace, and coworkers.
