I’ve gotten tired of waiting and found a good deal on an open box Pixel 8 Pro which arrives in a few days, I’ll be installing GrapheneOS on it....
Resolved - Cyberpunk 2077 locks up my PC when closing
Hey y’all, I just got Cyberpunk for the first time and started playing it. The game plays fine – no issues at all while in the game – but whenever I close it out, then the game goes away, I can see my desktop again, but now no mouse clicks or keyboard typing does anything. I am effectively locked out of using my PC until I...
How easy is deepfake now? I just watched a show and I want to change the actor to an old timey one. NOT PORN. Just a cool show I think would be suited to this actor and I can't get it out of my head.
For the few who want to know the show and the actor, it’s “Monsieur Spade,” an AMC produced take on Sam Spade post-America, retired and living in France. I think it’s really well done, and Clive Owen does a great job of playing San Spade but…I REALLY want to replace his face and voice with Bogart’s....

What is the word for someone who is friends with different groups but doesn't have loyalty to any one group?
The closest word I can think of is a sycophant but that’s too strong word and not exactly what I’m looking for. The word I’m thinking of has negative connotations and it’s for someone who is friends with different groups but only at a superficial level and isn’t necessarily honest about who all they’re friends with....

Can you un-smart a smart tv?
Instead of ‘splurging’ on a dumb tv bc they’re more expensive now thanks to the data sompanies sell off of smart tvs I was considering getting a smart tv and dumbing it down. Is the way to do this never connecting it to the internet? And is that the only way?

Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel
I’ve been self-hosting my music in Navidrome for the last 3 or 4 years and in general I’ve been very satisfied. Before that I was using an old iPod. The key difference I haven’t been able to recreate in Navidrome is a feeling of my own curated library where I scroll through and recognize all the artists. When I set up...
