In the last few years I have purchased a pressure cooker and an air fryer. They both waste electricity by having an off light. Furthermore they act like red nightlights and my kitchen has an eerie red glow at night. What is the actual purpose for off lights besides to waste electricity?

Which do you think is the better microblogging platform? Why?

I notice programming stuff leaks into my thinking and writing often but I actually enjoy the various constructs that help clarify thinking. I don’t have any formal background in logic tho :(...

Hi guys, I have been using a Raspberry Pi with Retropie for my emulation for ages. It’s used for games up to PS1 and it’s fine, but I wanted to upgrade my emulation to play games up to PS3/360. For that I think I need to use a PC right? What’s the recommended spec for that use case?...

what is the best option for a Chromebook system?? I own a Chromebook but I don’t know what to choose, I can install Linux apps and they’re native and can be used offline, but Progressive Web Apps are smaller in storage!! So that’s nice too, I don’t know, I hope that in the future native apps will still exist.

They already give a lot of stickers during sales, I think there should be one room effect per sale as well, I still only have the firework one on my inventory

livetv.sx is out? Anybody knows what happened?

If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....

Weekly thread to discuss whatever you’re working on, big or small, at work or in your free time.

My Views: I would love it if Solar, Hydro and Wind and other renewable sources of energy + Non Renewable Nuclear were to provide enough energy reliably to completely replace fossil fuels, but I know it’s not a feasible solution at least at this point. And maybe it will never be. Renewable sources of energy are highly dependent...

So yeah, I want to discuss or point out why I think Valve needs to fix Anti-Cheat issues. They have VAC but apparently its doing jackshit, be it Counter Strike 2 (any previous iterations) or something like Hunt: Showdown the prevalence of cheating players is non deniable. For me personally it has come to a point that I am not...

Hey everyone,...

Kinda bored so here we go: the government officially recognizes the creeper, from jeepers creepers, as a threat. Congratulations you are now task on coming up with a plan on killing or at least semi-permanently incapacitating the monster. You are backed by the government but keep the cost and destruction down. For obvious...

Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support....

This might sound a bit random, but Cyberpunk 2077 has this sort of warmup sound that plays through the game startup sequence that always gets me relaxed or psyched up to play. Another example is the title song in Trails from Zero. Calms me every time....

I’m a reddit refugee trying to figure this out. It seems to me like it’s a decent idea to break up countrol like this, but unfortunately there are some inherent problems that mean it might not work in the real world....

None of the documentaries from GCN+, which is Global Cycling Network’s streaming app, are on my usual torrent sites. I’m not a cool warez kiddy with access to niche private trackers. Is it possible that there are no webrips out there? Do they watermark somehow?

Does anyone know how I can change the power profile on TLP from “balanced” to “low-power” so that it will survive reboot?

It seems to mostly happen to 3D games, very rarely for 2D ones....

tl;dr it’s a strategy game, kinda like Stellaris (but… dumbed down?), it’s free (for now) and fully playable with Proton Experimental, I have enjoyed playing it....

So I recently made a discovery that I honesty feel daft for not realizing before....

I have an existing website that I use for all sorts of things. I was a bit more of a sucker when I bought the domain so I also bought a wildcard SSL cert for my domain instead of using LetsEncrypt. I use the home subdomain to link back to my home network where I’m in the process of setting up a FreeIPA domain. In order to make...

Hi! I’m trying to figure out if my anti fat biases etc are colouring my view. Background: I’ve lived in an olderish apartment (1970s) for about a decade, got a new upstairs neighbour a couple of years ago and now my bathroom ceiling leaks, grows mold etc. The maintenance folks have cut through the drywall a few times,...
