- Comment on Right to Repair Gains Traction as John Deere Faces Trial 6 days ago:
Kubota does not make equivalents to a lot of JD’s lineup. Their biggest tractor (M8) really only has the traction weight and horsepower of JD’s midsize tractors, which don’t cut it for a majority of US farms needing large tilling implements.
That doesn’t mean they can’t replace JD at the smaller scale stuff though, and honestly they should.
- Comment on Gov. Landry signs new drone defense law; first in nation 6 days ago:
Conveniently will cover any drone taking aerial footage of protests or police state suppression tactics
- Comment on Been a good couple of years 1 week ago:
their mobile app isn’t even their own base code. they bought out and built it on top of Alien Blue, which was one of the earliest and arguably best mobile apps for Reddit. all they had to do was not fuck that one up and they would have straight up driven the other popup 3rd party apps out of business by just being good and official. but of course, reddit must always rise to their incompetence.

I got sitebanned a couple weeks before RIF officially died so not quite the same anniversary, close enough though :)

You should, it’s never been better. I don’t play it as much as I should.
- Comment on Happy PrIDE Month 2 weeks ago:
I sure don’t miss having to move the stupid jumpers for master/slave drives and then losing one of the bastards and having to try and jam a paperclip alongside the pins with some scotch tape to insulate it. Cable select was always a lie.

Raining is the state of the weather outside. The “it” is implied to be the weather, because nothing else can really be raining.
- Comment on So close! 3 weeks ago:
Not even good soup. Real soups use some kind of broth to give a lot of base flavor.
- Comment on Really chess.com? 4 weeks ago:
The chess square is not aligned with the monitor pixels so it is sharp edged on the bottom and left, but has a blended border on the top and right.
You’re welcome.

Counterpoint:
Good shows remain good because they were cancelled before they got boring.
Boring shows were good shows that got drug out way too long for their own good.
- Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks 1 month ago:
That depends entirely on how profitable it is and how much they can get authors onboard.
A. Anything can be profitable when the cost to generation will be counted in singles of dollars instead of multiple thousands for a good narrator. They don’t even have to sell many to turn a profit too.
B. You think authors are going to have a choice? Lmfao. It’s the publishers that hold any real power and they will jump all over everyone’s IP with AI slop to make an extra three cents.
- Comment on Using DVD slot for second 3.5" drive? 1 month ago:
Adapter or caddy is fine. Can get them on most shopping sites for cheap.
IIRC from my old office PC slinging days, a lot of those cases with 5-1/4 bays usually had slots for mounting screws that would allow you to mount a 3.5 drive flush to one sideusijg 2 screws. Then you get a 1-3/4" 6-32 screw stand off, thread it into the drive, and use that to mount it to the other side of the 5-1/4 bay.
Did that a lot to really old reused cases where there were a ton of 5-1/4 bays but only one 3.5 bay.
- Comment on Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable? 1 month ago:
What was your input situation before?
Dreamcast outputs at 480i/p which looks about that size on a 1080 display. I think your TV is running in just-scan display mode which is just displaying what it gets pixel for pixel. I’m guessing whatever you used for input before made the TV auto scale itself, but now it’s not on HDMI.
Change the TV to fill and live with it.

Only 1200 a month?
God I wish.
- Comment on FCC urges courts to ignore 5th Circuit ruling that agency can’t issue fines 1 month ago:
Well, you shouldn’t. The FCC wants its fine powers back so it can put any anti-Trump media completely out of business, or at least force them to toe the party line.
- Comment on Bed slinger vs coreXY 3D printer 1 month ago:
I have found that I can actually get more reliable quality out of bedslingers just because the frame tends to be more rigid.
However they are definitely slower. And if you are printing certain tall, narrow models, the bed movement can cause print failure from the motion knocking it off the build plate.
- Comment on Use same SD Card between devices? 1 month ago:
A quick poke at the retroid pocket’s product page says it’s underlying OS is Android 14. Android defaults external storage formatting to fat32 or exFAT, both of which Raspbian or most Linux distros can support (with an extra package in exFAT’s case). You should have no problems with each device reading the cards, but I’m not sure what emulators each uses.

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 Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 2 months 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. 2 months 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”
