I was actually curious about this as we’re forced to use Edge or.Chrome at work.

Especially when these boards have likely been sealed by AsRock until just moments before having the CPU installed.

I just replaced my X470 Taichi with a Z790 Sonic and both have been trouble free. The former has essentially been running 24/7 since 2018 hosting my media server.

Maybe whenever slider phones with full keyboards come back. Typing in the terminal would be a real chore otherwise.

If you’re trying to watch 4k content in a browser, AFAIK, Edge is the only one capable.
- Comment on Keep Tabs On Your Vehicle’s Needs With LubeLogger 1 week ago:
I know it’s “cheap insurance,” and I’ll never convince you otherwise (nor do I intend to – you do you), but it’s really just a waste of money/oil with modern synthetics. Even if you stretched it out to just 5k you’d be saving almost half as much oil/money while maintaining the same protection. Using a quality filter (factory OEM, Wix) is important too.
I’ve put around 180k miles on my Toyota in the last 9 years with 9k-10k intervals and it runs great as well with a sparkling interior under the valve cover.

Yeah that’s likely what everyone else thinks too. Someone has to start the discussion 😆
- Comment on Keep Tabs On Your Vehicle’s Needs With LubeLogger 1 week ago:
I believe 19k on modern engines with modern oil but have a hard time believing they recommended the same on many vehicles pre ~2000 when engines and oil were much less robust than they are now.
- Comment on Keep Tabs On Your Vehicle’s Needs With LubeLogger 1 week ago:
I also run around 10k miles between changes, but newer engines (2013 Camry) are much easier on the oil than a straight-six from 1992 so I’d be hesitant to push it quite as far without doing an oil analysis. You could also just change the filter and keep the same oil at 5k then change both at 10k (again depending on how dirty the engine makes it).
- Comment on Keep Tabs On Your Vehicle’s Needs With LubeLogger 1 week ago:
Why’s this guy doing oil changes every 3k miles on his Jeep? Just spend the extra $5 for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.

That’s when I made the switch. I can’t believe it’s been that long already.

I have yet to come across a repost community here that actually gets any comments on the posts. I wound up unsubscribing from all of them because they just clog up my feed.
- Comment on samba docker compose help ver2 1 week ago:
What displays when you run “id” as your user? You’ll want it to match what your inputting in the docker compose. I may have missed it but I didn’t see you identify what your personal UID and GID are in the Google doc.
- Comment on samba docker compose help ver2 1 week ago:
Try the users suggestion from the other post and run “ls -an” to see the numeric user IDs rather than the names you’re assigning. I’ve recently been building a new server with proxmox and learned this same lesson already as user “1000” gets assigned as user “100000” inside containers there to prevent it from having host permissions automatically from my understanding.
- Comment on DoorDash and Klarna partner to offer buy now, pay later for takeout. 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, I meant skipping Klarna entirely but still “buying on credit” with a credit card that you pay off at the end of the month. I agree that these services are entirely a trap and should be avoided.
- Comment on DoorDash and Klarna partner to offer buy now, pay later for takeout. 2 weeks ago:
I meant just buying it with a credit card in the first place and skipping Klarna entirely. I’d never suggest using any of these ‘buy now pay later’ services, especially not for fast food.
- Comment on DoorDash and Klarna partner to offer buy now, pay later for takeout. 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure it’s a lot more than that, but yes you do need to be careful if it’s an issue for you. If you treat it like a debit card and pay things right away it can help to get you in the right mindset. It is free money after all so doing it is better than not.
- Comment on DoorDash and Klarna partner to offer buy now, pay later for takeout. 2 weeks ago:
Unless it’s your credit card that you use for cash back rewards and pay off fully each month.
- Comment on GM blocks dealership from installing Apple CarPlay retrofit kits in EVs 2 weeks ago:
Edison Motors is doing that in Canada for light duty trucks. I don’t think there’s much of a market for it outside that considering the insane amount of labor costs you’d encounter trying to retrofit a vehicle. Best to either sell the kits to DIYers or find those few unicorn buyers who’d be willing to hand you $100k-$200k for 6-12 months worth of labor on a one-off vehicle.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 weeks ago:
I have had both a Plex and Emby lifetime subscription since around 2018 and relied on Emby for quite a while during Plexs shenanigans 5-6 years ago but still think Plex and Jellyfin are the only true options. Emby is just an amalgamation of the worst qualities of Plex and Jellyfin. It “just works” as a media player in the same way that VLC “just works” but doesn’t offer a whole lot outside of that especially nothing that these other two don’t offer. Plex is the “polished but expensive and limited” solution and Jellyfin is the “free, some work required, and open” solution.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 weeks ago:
Jellyfin was forked from Emby years ago when Emby went closed source I believe on the 4.0 update.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 weeks ago:
Anyone know if they’re referring to Plex “Home” users or anyone you’ve granted access to here? I used to just hand out my credentials with my admin account pass code protected but now I make people create their own accounts and just grant them access.

I think Google just owns the software because the product page for these watches say the guy invested his own money to get these produced.
- Comment on Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people? 2 weeks ago:
Intel iGPUs work phenomenally for transcoding but a lot of people who share with others keep their 4K files in a separate unshared library and only share 1080p and below since they tend to require transcoding a lot more than everything else.

That’s essentially the same as rsync
- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 3 weeks ago:
Why would they choose to name the watch “Core 2 Duo” when that’s the name of an Intel processor? And why are both watches a “2” variant? They need a new marketing person.

I wonder if this is an acquired skill. I’m reminded of working on cars and having to build “touch sight” where you “see” things hidden behind an engine block or other obstruction by feel alone.
