- Comment on Dull Men's Club: a place to share your dull life experiences. 1 day ago:
It’s so weird that I just started seeing posts from this group on Facebook a few days ago and now there’s a lemmy community for it.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 1 day ago:
Just use the TV as a display and try to dink around with some open source media player box if you want to create your own custom OS.

It’s interesting to hear that there is a new style as I’ve done several prints using the old style and it’s so lame that it only works for a few minutes after being exposed directly to bright light especially with how rough it is on the machine. It wore a groove through the hotend on my old Sidewindet X2 after using about a Kg to print a giant Lego skeleton.

Also wouldn’t the argument apply to subscribing as well? Consumers may not understand the consequences of subscribing to said service. Therefore, “click to subscribe” should also be banned.

More recently, they throttled Netflix until they could extort them to pay for the traffic being used by their own customers, who were already paying Comcast for the very same data ussge.

They didn’t name the node size after the guy they named it after the unit since it’s approaching sub-nanometer node size.
- Comment on T-Mobile, AT&T oppose unlocking rule, claim locked phones are good for users 3 weeks ago:
You’d have to flash new firmware for that to change. In the old days each phone was carrier specific and had to have the exact right firmware but now they’re fairly generic and are cross compatible (do your own research). You could check XDA Developers for the process.

It is better. Better than it would have been. Better than other countries did.
What did you steal this quote from a Trump speech? How interesting that I’m hearing more and more Trump rhetoric from Democrats as of late.
Funny that if things are so much better now, why are you getting so defensive over someone criticizing some politician that doesn’t even know you exist? It sounds more like you’re desperate to bury any criticism of your team and their terrible, ineffective policies.
- Comment on 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2 3 weeks ago:
That’s true it was excellent and an outlier for the franchise.
- Comment on Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago 3 weeks ago:
Wow how quickly you dropped the argument about things being “better.” How about you stop carrying water for people who aren’t serving our best interests and stop acting like politics is a team sport for starters? You can’t even handle legitimate criticism of the party without getting upset because it doesn’t “sound right.”
- Comment on Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago 3 weeks ago:
You’re right when your definition of “better” is a month where you only have to choose between a roof over your head and food instead of a roof over your head, medicine, and food.
What a disgusting response to the current state of the country and our decades long decline into serfdom.
- Comment on Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago 3 weeks ago:
Democrats care about the poor about as much as Republicans care about babies once they’re born. It’s mostly lip service and a few scraps so the majority of people don’t realize we’re getting fleeced regardless of who’s in charge.

That’s only 900k union employees in a country with a population of 330 million
Inflation slowing doesn’t undo the damage caused by the previously record high inflation unless everyone got a raise to wipe out the price increases.

Hopefully nothing because every first season of a new ST series is a flop.
- Comment on Star Trek: Lower Decks Releases Homage Poster for Final Season Celebration 4 weeks ago:
Why are the ending the show after 5 seasons without any real replacement? Seems like it’s easy to keep an animated show going since you’re not limited on what’s ‘realistic’ like with live action
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 1 month ago:
My wife’s Edge had a faulty backup camera too but Ford didn’t issue a recall so I had to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new one and install it myself.
They also have defective ABS modules that corrode when in contact with brake fluid. They did issue a recall for it with the Fusion and MKX but not the Edge. Hers lost complete braking pressure while driving, because the ABS valves stick open and bypass the line going to the brake calipers. Luckily she didn’t crash but once again I had to shell out $800 to get a new one and spent two days replacing it myself.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 1 month ago:
Counterpoint is that this recall can be done OTA instead of requiring you to make an appointment and visit a dealership which is a million times more convenient. Your car has had recalls too.
- Comment on Tesla issues 5th recall for the new Cybertruck within a year, the latest due to rearview camera 1 month ago:
There’s still side mirrors, no? If you’ve ever seen a semi, those are 60 feet long, weigh 80,000lbs and back up without a rear view mirror or backup camera. Acting like this is an issue that’s going to kill people is a bit absurd.

These look like the little flying sensor balls from Twister.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
For the fourteenth time, it’s completely irrelevant to the discussion.
You talk about conveniently ignoring things while you’re ignoring the whole topic so you can keep talking about some updates to Fallout '76 as if that has any bearing on Bethesda trending toward doing worse and worse with each new release. You’re making a completely separate argument to the rest of us.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
Is that my “line of thinking” when I never said anything of the sort? I don’t think so.
I’ve never played Cyberpunk 2077 nor No Man’s Sky and have zero opinion on them, but you bringing them up out of nowhere as some sort of ‘gotcha’ screams “my argument is based on emotion and not fact.”
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
So Bethesda is good because Starfield might be worth playing 10 years after it was released? You’re obviously not understanding the point here.
It doesn’t matter that they improved '76 after the fact. It matters that they keep releasing top dollar garbage that needs years of work after the fact to even be playable.
- Comment on How do I plug this in? Old Black & Decker Hedge Trimmer. 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t pull too hard as it might just be a proprietary slot like the other user said. The plastic around the plug looks like it could be easily ground off with a dremel tool and allow you to use a normal extension cord.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
“Bethesda hasn’t improved since Fallout '76 was released”
Make sense now?
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
and they ended up with something that didn’t really work and shouldn’t have shipped.
That sure didn’t stop the marketing department, as this game was being shoved in our faces left and right as if it was the end-all-be-all game we’d be playing with our grand children in 50 years.
- Comment on How do I plug this in? Old Black & Decker Hedge Trimmer. 1 month ago:
That’s for a UK outlet plug not an American plug.
- Comment on How do I plug this in? Old Black & Decker Hedge Trimmer. 1 month ago:
Does it look like the prongs have dropped into the case further than they’re supposed to be? My old trimmer was very similar but the prongs stuck out quite a bit more so that you could use any extension regular cord on it. I’d try gently pulling on the prongs to see if you can get them out of that recess in the plastic. People are suggesting using an ungrounded cord but I don’t think they’re very common or easy to find.
