- Comment on Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss to launch ‘free speech’ social media platform 4 days ago:
Feel like I’ve seen this one before
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
You can’t hardly even buy computer monitors without them anymore either. Every one of the higher end Samsung or LG monitors is starting to include “smart” bullshit.
- Comment on Even his doctors are full of it 1 week ago:
Might be 6’3 if he was stretched out on one of those Medieval torture racks.
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 1 week ago:
You can just check the modlog of your local instance and search for your own username. Most of the time the ban action will federate (but again, sometimes not, never really sure why). If nothing shows up locally check the modlog of the remote instance you’re trying to post to.
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 1 week ago:
The other chance that you got no comments on your post for is that you are banned from the remote instance/community, or federation is broken (still happens intermittently).
Lemmy will still allow you to post from your home instance since you are not banned there, but your content will simply get black-holed by the remote instance if you’re banned there. Sometimes you have to check the remote instance directly to see if your post was federated or not.

Numbers like that should have been why you kept going in mech E.
Once you get past the educational stage, every one of those calculations becomes “OK now round to the closest whole number that gives you the larger factor of safety and move on”
- Comment on How do I clean this mess? 3 weeks ago:
PLA basically doesn’t dissolve in any (readily available consumer-grade) solvents. Your best bet is going to be to take the entire unit as far apart as you can until it is metal only components, heat it with a heatgun to make the PLA soft/melt, and brush it all off with a brass cleaning brush.

Also fuck you if your wifi drivers aren’t built in to windows.
- Comment on Gmail Is Now Using AI to Sort 'More Relevant' Results, But You Can Turn It Off 3 weeks ago:
That’s a really good question, you’d have to ask Google about that one.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 4 weeks ago:
Honestly that’s a complaint I have about nearly every pencil, not just the zebra. They’re almost always hard and smudgy because the pencil has been sitting out either in a warehouse or on an office supply shelf for like 5 years.
I’d rather bring my own hi-poly brick eraser, or even better, a hi-poly retractable eraser that is a lot easier to control and keep a fresh, smudge-free surface on. - Comment on Gmail Is Now Using AI to Sort 'More Relevant' Results, But You Can Turn It Off 4 weeks ago:
If Email is ever sorted in any order other than purely Chronological, it is a deadly affront to humanity. Even the “sponsored” two emails at the top of Gmail is an insult.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 4 weeks ago:
#8 all the way.
If I had to do sketch design drafting with a pen or wooden pencil in college and not a 0.5 mechanical, I would have probably become a school shooter.

So Plex just killed itself? Got it. Lmao bye Felicia
- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 5 weeks ago:
The point is not that it is being used, the point is that corporations must protect their trademarks or else they may lose the exclusive rights to them. Intel also still uses the “Core” branding on their modern CPU’s so it wouldn’t be a stretch for them to try and continue legally protecting “Core 2 Duo” under the guise of retaining the “Core” part of their trademarks.
- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 5 weeks ago:
I have a Garmin Instinct and I can definitely recommend their hardware, but their mobile app to link for notifications and health stats is flaming hot garbage.
- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 5 weeks ago:
And why are both watches a “2” variant?
Because this is the next generation of the original Pebble watches.
Core 2 Duo
I’ll actually be surprised if this makes it to launch without Intel perhaps making a few legal calls and prompting a device name change. - Comment on Disposing of failed HDDs 5 weeks ago:
Bigger hammer and a concrete surface. Three good whacks to the thin sheet metal casing (opposite the drive motor/PCB) should shatter the platters inside.
Realistically if they’re already failed, nobody is going through the effort to send these disks through any kind of speciality recovery for a random john q public anyway.
- Comment on When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job? 5 weeks ago:
Any normal computer can become a “server”, its all based on the software.
Most enterprise server hardware is expensive because its designed around demanding workloads where uptime and redundancy is important. For a goober wanting to start a Minecraft and Jellyfin server, any old PC will work.
For home labbers office PC’s is the best way to do it. I have two machines right now that are repurposed office machines. They usually work well as office machines generally focus on having a decent CPU and plenty of memory without wasting money on a high end GPU, and can be had used for very cheap (or even free if you make friends that work in IT). And unless you’re running a lot of game servers or want a 4k streaming box, even a mediocre PC from 2012 is powerful enough to do a lot of stuff on. - Comment on So, after using Lemmy for 1.5 Years. You are telling I am not even allowed to use Lemmy? 1 month ago:
It’s legal boilerplate.

is somebody really expected check the ToS of the server the community they’re posting in is on,
Technically yes. Practically nobody does.
- Comment on I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU? 1 month ago:
IMO having the ability to do TPU is way more versatile than going to another rigid structural filament.
ABS/ASA is just “pla but more impact resistant”. TPU is “haha funny squishy wait this turns into a living hinge?” and opens up a TON of print opportunities. - Comment on Tiny Face Vance 1 month ago:
This is like one of those Nintendo Mii’s with the feature size sliders turned all the way down.

I mean I was thinking like when you’re flying on a plane and you get to your destination after 5 hours. You probably go use the bathroom in the airport almost the first thing. I guess lemmy can’t think that far ahead though
