- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 4 days ago:
If it has an HDMI port, it can be a dumb TV. Just don’t connect it to wifi, easy

- Comment on Would a surgical puncture to the skull relieve a pressure headache? 2 months ago:
Even if it did, it would extrude your brain out like a can of pillsbury biscuits
- Comment on Interesting to see how dead the MMO genre has become. Are there still players around? 2 months ago:
MMORPGs may not be the butt of South Park jokes anymore, but that doesn’t mean that they’re dead. They’re more diversified… Like others mentioned, other games are quietly stealing the thunder. Also, if you think about it, battle royale games are kinda MMOs with how many people are in the lobby, and games like Roblox and Minecraft can have players interact with large numbers of others
- Comment on How the fuck do you meet new people? 2 months ago:
Sooo I was kinda in your shoes a few months ago, and decided I really needed to do something about it before I lost my goddam mind. What I’m doing (and it’s kinda working) is to find a community that interests you, and persistently be involved in it. I personally found a streamer on Twitch and a few Discord communities, and hang out with those people by generally just being there and having small interactions with others. We watch the same things and play the same games in voice chat. You don’t have to be that guy that’s obnoxious and in everyone’s face, just pay attention to the people in these groups and be super friendly. I’ve found a few acquaintances and am working on knowing them better to become friends. You’ll remember names and interesting things about them, or be like me and take notes so you don’t forget lmao. Eventually, they’ll say “Hi <name!> It’s nice to see you again. How was your day?” and then you know you’re on the right track.
Socializing is hard, especially when you’re not used to it and in this online era. If you’re friendly and attentive, people will reflect that energy back to you, and you will form bonds. Good luck!
- Comment on 3D Scanning advice for noob 2 months ago:
Use a Xbox 360 Kinect and Skanect software. You’ll need a power/USB adapter for it
- Comment on Has anyone tried any 3d scanning solutions? 2 months ago:
Fair. “Far better than I was expecting for $30, but with limitations.” Can’t really scan anything less than about 4", but you can scan an entire room or car which is neat. My face came out really good.
- Comment on Has anyone tried any 3d scanning solutions? 2 months ago:
I bought an old Xbox 360 Kinect and got surprising results out of it using Skanect
- Comment on Question about DPOA and taxes 3 months ago:
Yeah, which is why you shouldn’t have posted to social media and gone straight to a lawyer.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Taper off, and self-care. Make sure you sleep regularly and sleep well, take lots of water, try to get some exercise even if it’s walking. I’ve been through it and it sucks, but you can do it!
- Comment on Question about DPOA and taxes 3 months ago:
You SHOULD expect legal advice, and your SHOULD seek it from a lawyer. Doing anything else can lead to serious consequences.
- Comment on [MarleMMO] LOTRO in 2024 & Why it's a Special MMORPG - anyone here playing? 3 months ago:
Good choice, GW2 is a fantastic game. It’s not perfect, but the general community is pretty good and there is A LOT of content for your money
- Comment on [Klipper] How can I read the layer height from a gcode file and pass it on as a variable? 3 months ago:
The Z value for G01 would be your layer height
- Comment on Ender 3 having issues with text 3 months ago:
I’ve never heard of that issue before. I have a 2020 year Ender 3 and we have a half dozen at work also around the same age and have run all of them through USB with no problem
- Comment on Are cars with AWD worth it compared to FWD. 4 months ago:
I test drive a regular Audi A4 and Infiniti Q50 a few times and became hooked on owning an AWD. It doesn’t snow where I live but the handling was everything I ever wanted. Currently searching for an AWD version of the car I want next and there’s like none down here, it’s super frustrating
- Comment on How do I get over this regret about missing an interesting video opportunity? 4 months ago:
Legitimately the best answer here. OP sounds like they have tendencies that aren’t good for long term social and mental health.
- Comment on Ender 3 having issues with text 4 months ago:
Ignore all the stuff that says Klipper. Install the program called pronterface and then hook up your printer to your computer with USB. You can then run the commands the guide tells you.
You should really figure out how to calibrate the esteps if you never have before, it’ll save you a headache. This tutorial is a good visual: youtu.be/6PL_rSPZ3M8
- Comment on How do I get over this regret about missing an interesting video opportunity? 4 months ago:
Okay, but you have to realize that they’re under no obligation to please you.
- Comment on How do I get over this regret about missing an interesting video opportunity? 4 months ago:
Even if the opportunity presented itself, it’s not necessarily the case that it would have come to fruition. Chances are that person wouldn’t have bothered to make a video even with your request, because they were likely panicking about their stuck ring. I’d be happy that my advice helped the person out without pushing my luck to get a video out of it too.
- Comment on Many people don't realize this place is just as toxic and censored as Reddit just in smaller scale, hell I'm afraid this post will be removed as well, they hate any type of discussion... 4 months ago:
I haven’t had any posts or comments removed on Reddit or Lemmy…
- Comment on How could I order flowers for someone in Poland, as a Canadian? 4 months ago:
Maybe try the largest city close by, one of the florists there might have a website where you can order online
- Comment on Your new neighbor, a genie, opens 'Temptation Mart' next door. Food, alcohol, substances, carnal pleasures, gambling - all complimentary, 24/7. How does this affect your daily life? 4 months ago:
I’d get a normal amount of food and carry on the way I have been. Cutting out the grocery bill would be a life changer.
- Comment on I don't have AC but my apartment lease covers unlimited water usage and the water is very cold. How can I best use this to cool my home? 4 months ago:
Ehhhhhhh

I put a whole extra quart into my Camry, you’ll be fine lol
- Comment on is this the right way to establish boundaries with my nosy coworkers at the hospital? 4 months ago:
‘I’ve worked here for a year already. It should be clear by now that I’m not a talkative person. This is a question I don’t want to answer. And I hope that you respect that.’
This won’t be taken well at all and sounds incredibly assholish.
‘that I don’t talk doesn’t mean I hate you, it means I have nothing to say’ < I find it ludicrous even having to explain this.
Still kinda rude IMO
‘I don’t see what that has to do with the job’
Depending on the situation could also be rude.
‘I don’t talk about religion, politics or my private life with coworkers and I hope you respect that’
Yes, this is good. Firm and clear.
‘all right, I need time to unwind, which means today I’ll spend my pause somewhere else.’ and proceed to eat alone somewhere else. And if they pester yet again: ‘leave me alone’
How about just “Sorry, I don’t feel like talking right now.” except you say that every time like a broken record. They’ll move on eventually since you never have anything to add.
- Comment on Disable windows updates 5 months ago:
Win11 was forcibly installed on my coworker’s computers. This happened more than once. …microsoft.com/…/why-is-my-windows-10-pro-system-…
What if you needed to use a VPN between May 1 and May 14? pcworld.com/…/microsofts-newest-windows-update-br…
I guess I hallucinated my computer restarting by itself on multiple occasions due to Microsoft updates, even after I disabled the services, before I nuked every sign of it from the registry and the reboots suddenly stopped. Crazy. superuser.com/…/windows-updates-forcibly-rebootin…
Copilot appeared with regular updates on my sister’s computer, unprompted. …microsoft.com/…/a4fce101-b9e8-4d10-9c15-1f835000…
There were easy to find examples of everything that I said, some of them happened to myself, my family, or my coworkers. If you’re going to be blatantly wrong and easily disproved then maybe you shouldn’t go on after all.
- Comment on Disable windows updates 5 months ago:
Eeyup, same exact situation here. I leave my work computer overnight reencoding video pretty frequently, and would lose so much productivity due to restarts I didn’t ask for.
- Comment on Disable windows updates 5 months ago:
To run as System and prevent permission issues from wagging its finger at you and saying “nuh uh”. Yes obviously you can open Services the normal way if it wasn’t windows update BS
