This is really sad.
My main machine is running a Asus motherboard. 12 years old and still games fine.
- Comment on Net neutrality is about to make a comeback 2 months ago:
This would fix a boatload of issues and break down Verizon/Comcast into service vs infrastructure companies.
It will never happen.
Both companies would put forth a staggering amount of money into lobbying to kill this on top of all the politicians they already “donated” to.
It’s sickening.
- Comment on Games like Mother 2 months ago:
What no love for the tales series at all?
They’re loaded with cute inter party moments that you either love or hate.
It’s not turn based tho. More hack and slash combat. I really like that you can have a second player control a party member in combat.

- Comment on What 11in laptop do you suggest? 2 months ago:
Yeah. 11in laptops are a world of a difference in size from a 13in.
I recall hp and Sony used to make laptops this size before tablets took off.
Nowadays I’d recommend a Microsoft Surface or a tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard.
Not sure if you could get a off brand tablet and flash the OS with a Linux distro. That light be the path forward.

You should know people only read headlines!
- Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV 2 months ago:
Roku would just start selling the televisions well below cost or even free since they make WAY more money from ADs.
- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 2 months ago:
I like the wattage sensor since you can also monitor energy use and it’s applicable to more devices. Just need to set thresholds.
- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 2 months ago:
Using a smart plug that measures wattage makes the most sense.
- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 2 months ago:
Circuits?
How would you homebrew a smart washer into HA?
- Comment on New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now 2 months ago:
I’m all for providing free support/testing for community projects…
But discord is not meant for documentation/management/bug tracking.
I just can’t even…
The only way to communicate to the dev is via discord. I don’t mind that. But I don’t want to join yet another server!
- Comment on New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now 2 months ago:
I’m also not going to complain about a free mod created by a dev for the community.
If they wanna have discord as they’re documentation/issue tracking I just won’t contribute.
- Comment on New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now 2 months ago:
Be me.
Playing game. Custom mod.
New release! Much excite. Find bug.
Investigate bug. Find replication steps. Take several screenshots.
Go to report bug. No git. Only discord links.
Delete screenshots and go back to playing.

Holy shit a DVDRW!!
You should add a DVD bay so you can rip on the fly!! Trust me it’s way faster than saving to your 5400 rpm disk and writing back.
I’ll admit I like having images tho.

Another newbie here.
It’s worse when you go to bed and get your clarity as you’re trying to sleep.
Now you gotta decide if you wanna wake up, stay up or get up… I try to settle for writing a note.
- Comment on Ideas for how to repurpose a half broken laptop 3 months ago:
Camera?
Like a Webcam camera? What’s the use case? Can you map the pins to a SPC like a raspi or ardrino?

- Comment on Just doing my part 🤡 4 months ago:
In some countries canned drinks are known to be unsanitary. Rodents would pee on cans and someone would rinse/wash the top (hopefully). You’d buy a can and get a straw because they don’t scrub the little notch. You’d see yellow.
EVERYONE uses straws for health reasons.
- Comment on Stop Making Great Anime Into Terrible Video Games 4 months ago:
I’m a huge fan of freemium games. Free mobile games with ADs that you can one time purchase an ad free option.
Unfortunately there are MANY games that piecemeal the permanent upgrades instead of a one time price package.
Gold and Goblins has a $10 unlock that includes double coins and ZERO ADs.
Idle Cave Miner has a $5 unlock to turn off ALL ADs with other premium (but totally not required) upgrades.
Where other games like Tomagachi has a $2 unlock to turn off mandatory ADs but still has optional ADs in other areas. They even have a $5/month subscription to get a better play experience…
I’m happy to throw down $5-$20 on a game to get rid of all the AD infested crap and make it an enjoyable experience.

The thing that I haven’t figured out is how to get the 3 to go back to 0 after 23:59, it needs to skip the numbers 4 to 9.
Ok thats making my brain hurt. I’m clearly not a mechanical engineer!
- Comment on I'm working on a mechanical seven segment display 4 months ago:
Oh that gearbox on the left?? I was just thinking that you could setup some gears similar to a analog clock to use only one motor. Does the geneva drive support snapping into position? With analog you’d want smooth motion, but here you’d want stepped positions. The snap is what makes this build so satisfying to me.

Yep. I thought of this video as well!
