- Comment on When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"? 14 minutes ago:
Find an app for your phone/watch that wakes you up at the end of your sleep cycles. When you’re in deep sleep you tend to be pretty still, but when you’re at the end of a sleep cycle is when you typically move around a night. There’s apps that will wake you up when it’s almost your alarm time, but you’re moving around.
Also try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Eventually you can kinda figure out your own sleep cycles and try to work with them instead of against them.

Most current Gen. thinkpads have fully upgradable ram. The T4XX/14 series had half soldered ram until a year or two ago. SSDs have basically always been replaceable.
They’re also very easy to work on since it’s only a couple of screws and you have full access to the inside of the machine. Those older thinkpads were nightmares if you had to take the whole mobo out. Even MacBooks were easier.

I have the startech usb kvm. It’s expensive new, but used it can be pretty cheap.
- Comment on What's a 'common sense' thing that you genuinely don't understand, and have been too embarrassed to ask about until now? 4 days ago:
It’s based on the speed limit of the road. Yellow means proceed if safe or stop if safe. The faster it is the longer the yellow. And usually the longer the time between it turning green on the other side should you pull a whoopsie.
- Comment on the self-hosting rabbit hole is a bottomless pit, isn't it? 4 days ago:
Just because you can type that fast doesn’t mean you should.
Do you even care about the things you’re posting?
- Comment on Is it insane to run a home server on an old laptop instead of a Raspberry Pi for self-hosting - what do I need to worry about? 4 days ago:
I ran ESXi on an a ThinkPad W520 for years with no issues. Make sure you set a battery charge limit or else that battery will be toast in no time. A UPS is insane overkill. A laptop battery will long outlast the UPS batteries. Not just run time, but in terms of degradation. even without the charge limit.
- Comment on Why a new Steam Machine when the first ones flopped? Because this time, Valve say, it'll actually have games 5 days ago:
Relying on Proton just offloads development/optimization to the community instead of the actual developers getting paid to develop it. Sure it’s cool the game runs better. But like pay people to do that.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 5 days ago:
The case around it does. That’s what I want to replace.
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 5 days ago:
That brings up my following question.
If the thumb sticks are capacitive and they wear smooth over time how do you replace them? Are the capacitive sensors under stick caps? Do you just have to replace the rim only?
- Comment on Microsoft confirms PCs boot into BitLocker recovery after the latest Windows updates 1 week ago:
There’s also all natural incompetence.
Microsoft’s long history has plenty of it.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms PCs boot into BitLocker recovery after the latest Windows updates 1 week ago:
We need an AI version of Hanlons Razor.
Never attribute to AI that which can be adequately explained by incompetence.
This is Microsoft after all.
- Comment on YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port. 2 weeks ago:
Some people are just absurdly lazy.
Also what kind of kit does op have? A sim card ejector, a metal brush, a q tip thing, half a zip tie, and some adhesive things? Any thin plastic shim will work perfectly, and sometimes even a stiff plastic bristle brush works well.

- Comment on Concerned about claiming warranty for homelab with Linux 3 weeks ago:
If it’s a prebuilt and it’s the SSD that’s the problem then taking out the SSD probably won’t be an option. OP never said what PC it is, but I know some manufacturers will be ok with shipping just the ssd. Assuming you can narrow it down to just the SSD.
IDK OP, just contact their support and see what they say to diagnose it. Just wipe the drive before you send it off. They’re not going to do data recovery on your SSD, it’s not worth their time or money. They’re just going to replace it.
- Comment on I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t see why you couldn’t stick something capacitive to the dingus.
- Comment on Where can I buy used computers, and are they on a discount now because of Windows 10 end of life? 3 weeks ago:
eBay, FB marketplace, any other equivalent sell old junk site.
No, not really. Business stopped using machines not capable of running windows 11 almost 5 years ago. The end user who cares about it being EOL will install Linux. And the average user who doesn’t even know what EOL means won’t care.

- Comment on How gamers were nickel and dimed in 80s and 90s (besides arcades) 3 weeks ago:
Even the latest iOS has letters on the numbers.
That said I hated when they’d advertise their phone number with the letters vs the numbers. Sure it’s easier to remember. But the translation just never came easy to me.
- Comment on As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity 3 weeks ago:
I mean as long as you’re not being too stupid with your PC, and not like doing your taxes on the computer the risk is pretty low.

They do, it’s called “Windows Insider Program”
You don’t even have to be in it to partake!
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 4 weeks ago:
I’m not saying drink a gallon right before bed. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, then slowly less and less until it’s about bed time. Then take a fat piss before you go to bed.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 4 weeks ago:
The way™️ is to drink enough water and actually brush before bed. If you’re sufficiently hydrated, and you don’t have all that bacteria shitting up your mouth then your morning breath will be a lot less stanky.
- Comment on I went to an anti-tech rally, where Gen Z dressed as gnomes and smashed iPhones. Here's what I learned. | Business Insider 4 weeks ago:
They’re random people I most likely have never seen before and probably won’t ever see again.
And why do you think that? Have you paid attention to the people around you? If you and another person get to work at the same time, and live in the same area then odds are you will encounter them again. There might be a million people in your city. But how many of them have the exact same commute as you?
Also so what if you never see them again on the train? What if you end up really liking them, get their number, and stay in contact?
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
but can you easily run a Windows 7 app on Windows 10?
Yes? Pretty much anything made for XP and up will run on 11. Shit as long as the program is 32 bit it will probably run. Only exception is games, and that’s more just because hardware has moved on.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I mean no shit? Isn’t that why they emphasized by how these are the “free” ones?

Will the non remastered version run on original hardware? System requirements say Windows 10/11.
- Comment on Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarks 1 month ago:
If it’s anything like their windows driver support then also awful. Maybe things have improved in the last year or so, but has Qualcomm ever put real effort into making ARM Windows laptops good?

- Comment on Gen Z job crisis: Maybe there are just too many college graduates now 1 month ago:
Also for the love of god talk to people while there.
Good job openings don’t stay public for long. They usually start internal, and work their way out slowly. Nepotism and cronyism are the best ways to get a good job. You can’t control the former, but you can the latter.
