• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just turn on FOX News for him. He’ll zone out on it as usual and leave everyone else alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I need a NAS ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Terramaster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I need a NAS ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Beware, an NAS will have its own file formats and structure. I put all my music files and backups on a NAS, which failed. Now I can’t recover them without buying another NAS of similar model. More ore less the opposite of why I got a NAS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Refrigerator ads are finally here!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldnt you just change your wifi password and not tell the TV?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God ****** dammit, here we go again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Possibly related question. Layely I’ve been getting email ‘replies’ from various businesses and services (all over the country, USA) all about an ‘inquiry’ that I never made. Apparently someone just got my email address and is using that for – what ? A couple questions:

  ** What is that someone up to, why doing that?

  ** Should I do something about that?

  ** What could I do? Don’t want to change email address.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump hadn’t been born yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Governor Newsom signs bills to further strengthen California’s leadership in protecting children online⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, lets complicate and screw everything up to solve a nonexistent problem so some politicians can feel righteous. Cause there’s nothing important for legislatures to address.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Rapture could have happened, but nobody would know because everyone got left behind⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe a pature happened, but it was Rush Limbaugh getting raptured down to an even lower depth of hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like this would be a good time for the FBI to release actual photos of these engravings, since they already told the world what they allegedly say. Seems very fishy that no one but them got to see the engravings so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LibreOffice. No need for MS Office, ever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure they were expecting returns. Just afraid that if other companies had AI, they might lose business to them. Except of course a lot of people (or at least I) avoid anything with AI and mistrust its results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Elon promised there will be a firmware update to make me fly!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oversharing not appreciated, but opinions on Trump probed. Gonna be some conflict there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. Off to Linux I go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RepRap Pioneer Returns With a DIY 3D Printer That Hits Micro-Level Precision⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A negative (for me at least) is the use of UV curable resin. I’ve got a mSLA printer I don’t use anymore because that material is very nasty stuff. Fumes needing ventilation, spills from hell, disposal difficulty, and rubber gloves being required else the uncured resin will literally tear the skin off your fingers over time with even slight unnoticed contact. More than I want to deal with unless absolutely necessary, taking it out of the range of fun hobby stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: US Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem publically bragged about killing her puppy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Taxidermy for her dead soul.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: US Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem publically bragged about killing her puppy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there anyone reading Lemmy that wasn’t already aware of this one? I mean, it’s not bad to bring it up again (and again, and again, etc), but it’s hardly news.

  But if you haven’t already, be sure to see the second 2025 episode of South Park!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is probably a advance civilization out there were much more advance in the battery technology compared to them. They just happen to found first a way to run electronics much more efficient.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or maybe they found a way to somehow survive without so many electric snd electronic gizmos?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where are all the successful "red cities"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wish there was a requirement that all districts be rectangular or triangular. That would make gerrymandering more difficult to arrange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, yes. The country that formerly let you have anonymous secret bank accounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen to the US if it denaturalised and deported all non-whites?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What would happen if the US denaturalized and deported all whites?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see magic eye pictures?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I’ll check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see magic eye pictures?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m one of the stereo blind. I was kind of glad when I found out from the eye doctor. It explained why I could rarely catch a baseball without getting hit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Do you have documents to prove you are a US citizen? If not, here's how⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is also why “self deport” is such a scam. Even were it moral to tell anyone to do that, how are they supposed to board a plane to go to another country without passport or visa?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What point in space is the reference, where other things are placed relative to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In a different position relative to what?

  Well, you’re forgetting about clean coal. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even conservatives use to boast the virtue of achieving a higher education. In MAGA times what is the pathway to success?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Having ones lips firmly mounted onto a certain large ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Copilot. Win11 working only on mew hardware. Win10 going out of support. Basic bloated operation with little concern for what users want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We used to have porch lights twinkling in red, white, and blue all July. This year, we’re just flashing blue adamently. And that only because our lights can’t radiate black.
