I run an older sff office PC with ryzen 3400g. I don’t have any issues running whatever I want on it. I don’t play AAA games or fps so it’s fine.
- Comment on Justice Department Sues Uber for Denying Rides to Passengers with Service Dogs, Wheelchairs 4 days ago:
Accommodation requests have to be reasonable. If the wheelchair won’t physically fit in the car then you can’t force the driver to drive an accessible vehicle at all times. That would be unreadonable. Though they can’t deny rides to people if the wheelchair could fit in the trunk or whatever.
- Comment on Root cause for why Windows 11 is breaking or corrupting SSDs may have been found 1 week ago:
It’s a little funny that windows 10 had a massive bug with 100% disk usage with hdd’s. There were “fixes” out there, but they would stop working after awhile. They wanted to make people upgrade their PC back then too.

- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 2 weeks ago:
We had a 4a (battery life) and 5a (sudden screen failure. Both failed just after warranty lapsed. The 5a made it just outside the extended screen warranty period. These are well documented issues and I’ve read about issues with newer gens as well. It just doesn’t make any sense not to support cheaper phones when it comes to custom roms because you’re voiding the warranty on it. With the pixels track record of poor quality I’d rather not risk $1k+ just to run custom firmware.
- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 2 weeks ago:
Pixels are inferior to even the cheapest android phones out there. I have a two year old Motorola stylus that cost $100 and battery life is still over two days and I’ve dropped it a million times. Evey pixel I’ve owned had major issues with screen or battery life not worth the price when google can’t handle making reliable hardware. Plus I have a headphone Jack.

The service is tftpd-hpa on Ubuntu. I did get 10.10.10.3 to work by putting :69 at the end 0.0.0.0 accepts all ip addresses attempting to connect to the server, not secure, but fine for a one off like this. I still can’t get the thing to connect to the server, but I did something at least.

I don’t see why you couldn’t just use a different material if you wanted a more permanent solution. A resin printer is likely ideal to get good accuracy.

I remember there was an article years ago, before the ai hype train, that google had made an ai chatbot but had to shut it down due to racism.
- Comment on Picked this up for only $20 1 month ago:
This one is on the high voltage side it’s an NPN transistor p/n C3679. It’s showing connectivity through the collector and Emitter in both directions meaning it’s bad. I ordered several in case I pop the first one since there could be more bad components. If I can’t fix this one then I really need to get ahold of some kind of PSU that has -5v so that I can test the computer itself before I go spending $50+ on a good factory PSU.
- Comment on Picked this up for only $20 1 month ago:
Unfortunately it has a vintage aftermarket power supply in it. I found a bad transistor so far, the caps seem ok.

I’m still using YouTube with smarttube or whatever it’s called now and vanced. They have adblocking and sponsor block so I don’t get shitty ads and I can still pick who I watch. I did go and download a bunch of kids videos since someone watches the same show all the time and now just use jelyfin for that.

- Comment on What are ways to independently make a few bucks on the side? 2 months ago:
It’s highly recommended that you sell small items anyway. I’ve sold 6 CD’s and a cassette tape this month. Some graphics cards, a motherboard, handheld game system that I repaired, etc. I have a small shelf with my inventory on it. I rarely do larger items, but I think I can sell the dresser in a day or two if it doesn’t work well in my space.
If you have a hobby like video games or card collecting you can buy collections and resell what you don’t want she keep what you do or sell games after you’re done with them. It’s fully scalable so you can put in as much or as little time as you want and pause your listings if you decide to go on vacation.

I created !flipping@lemmy.world as I resell as a hobby on eBay and marketplace. It’s a good way to clear out stuff that you don’t want or need and fuel your hobbies. I think it’s pretty funny that the other user says that reselling is gross and goes on to explain that they buy and resell things for a profit.
I’m going out to the middle of bfe this morning to pick up some stuff I won through an online estate auction. I got a dresser for $1. I might keep it I might sell it for a profit. Nobody else wanted it and I’m saving the family the hassle of having to throw it away somehow and someone else might be really happy to have it after I clean it up.

Yes, they’re called retail electric suppliers. Some have offers to lock in a fixed Price for a year and others have variable rates. Then you can choose to have power billed separately from delivery or not.
