  They stopped being good cars in 2004. Twenty years they’ve been shit, and people are still swallowing the gravy.

  Can you dig it out of the trash? If it’s wall-side it can normally be repaired.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of laptop charger do I need for my laptop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it just the frayed wires that’s causing the issue? Did they short together to destroy the charger?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of laptop charger do I need for my laptop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s true, but they use nonstandard voltages on their chargers, and it can be tough to find an aftermarket that matches both the voltage and current of stock. Then you run into the “Dell has detected a non-Dell charger” scenario.

  If they don’t match exactly, the laptop will lock you into power saving mode or battery operation only. Real John Deere vibes.

  Dell is really crappy about third party chargers, regardless of I/E. When you get one of their laptops, you are stuck in their ecosystem. They used to do this with memory as well… then they didn’t… then they did again. Don’t know which phase they’re on right now, but I’d dig on eBay or Craigslist for an exact replacement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Day Before is finally out, and according to its Steam reviews, it absolutely honks⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honks is bad. “Article” is just some quotes from steam reviews and a paragraph about why people are mad about the game. Tldr is that it didn’t meet expectations set by the previews.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are these connectors called?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you have a soldering iron just replace it with some screw terminal banana sockets. They’re sturdy, can take almost anything and cheap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which software do you mostly use for programming, and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Geany for quick edits, and VSCode for everything else. Think I may try Sublime soon.

  I live less than an hour from Elon and ended up canceling my starlink preorder after eighteen months because I figured it was never going to come.

  So he bought a CBD product online advertised as containing Delta-9 and thought he wouldn’t pop on a urinalysis? Big news.

  Come to think of it, those whips in seasons one liked very suspicious.
