WE could have done with an “other” option, I first tried Linux when my laptop failed and my friend installed Ubuntu to fucking troll me

I mean I guess that’s “friends/family showed me” but a very different connotation lol

Oh, so I could have just used these assholes and not the Dr who said I had to see them in person before we could continue and then never let me schedule an in person meeting?

Or instead of the Dr who was 45 minutes late every time and made me fight for my refund after I walked?

Or instead of the guy who said he couldn’t see me on zoom because HE NEVER JOINED THE FUCKING CALL?

I think your issue with Linux and the terminal might be your horrid grip on the written language and not a Linux problem

You can also just look at your “recent apps” under settings, if a notification popped off in the last 30s and you didn’t see a window then it’ll almost certainly be the top app in “most recent”

It’s a glitch / purposeful design in some apps where the actual popup window isn’t set to actually stick around so it just makes a ghost noise. For me it was some random app I installed for one niche purpose and forgot about

I love that effect, but sometimes it can fail. For example:

Adding warnings will only result in annoying people, not driving for improvement.

Given how poorly adoption has gone so far this might be the only way to get actual fast support rolled out. Piss people off, get change

Buy a chest freezer and convert it

Or buy a fancier chest freezer that can swap to a fridge with a button press

Got mine for Xmas 2 years ago, cost like 800 bucks? Bigger than a normal fridge, uses $2.78/month in electricity in freezer mode here in expensive electricity land

Downside: you have to dig for you shit. Upside: in the summer, good

For both 2 & 3 the answer is the same:

Having Mint and Windows on the same machine will end up with a completely fucked boot drive if you’re not super careful.

When I installed Mint on an NVME I installed specifically for it, either it or windows decided that the boot info should be placed on my SSD with Windows and not on the same NVME as mint (as I wanted, as windows was literally just a dead data drive to me at this point that happened to be bootable), so when it came time for the wipe and swap of drives I suddenly couldn’t boot anything

Minor headache to get boot repair rolling and get everything set up properly to the partition I’d made on the NVME, but the googling I did to fix this taught me that Mint and Windows Dual-Boot is a question of “when and what will fuck Up” rather than “if it will”

My advice would be to just read carefully what’s happening when you do drive shit and to keep a working boot USB for mint (should do this anyway, but keep it updated) for at least as long as you’re dual booting. Boot repair WILL save you, its very easy to use, and remember the words emblazoned on that amazing book: Don’t Panic

but even finding a battery, let alone any info on swapping it was pretty much impossible.

The second generation(2018 on) had a defect in their battery packs that caused a lot of them to need full replacements right after Nissan announced they weren’t making Leafs anymore, so any extra batteries that might exist were used in Warranty repairs for that

Took my shop just shy of a full year

Go ahead, then, put the barrel to your head and pull the trigger.

Oh, it’s actually about oppressing others and not living under tyranny? Thought so.

Because lies require intent to deceive, which the AI cannot have.

They merely predict the most likely thing that should next be said, so “hallucinations” is a fairly accurate description

Weird that your Pixel didn’t handle water

I’ve dropped my 8 pro into the tub like 8 times in the 8 months ive owned it and it just disabled the port and is fine

Same with my pixel 6, 4, and 2 XL

Come to think of it I haven’t lost a phone to liquid since my LG G7, which I dropped into a bucket of diesel

gamermanh , 15 days ago

I used to keep my phone in my breast pocket because I wasn’t allowed to wear headphones at work but WAS allowed to put it there and play audio aloud

Thus my phone would flip out far more often than a normal person

Visit a richer neighborhood, then.

On my way to/from work I pass a place called Rancho Murietta, CA (Google it), a private fenced-in rich people living place.

Shit tons of golf carts being driven in and around the area to the nearby stores n shit because it’s too gas-expsensive to load everyone up into the truck and blast down to the store 3 times a day.

I’ve almost never seen a working-class person drive a cart on the streets like a car for longer than a block or 2 near an event, which is special occasion. These people do it NORMALLY and often on HIGHWAYS.

gamermanh , 18 days ago

Have you actually been in one of those Kei trucks

Yes.

It’s basically a tin can on skateboard wheels

Incredibly exaggerated. Also, I’ve ridden in worse vehicles that were perfectly legal here.

It is extremely power limited due to engine size

That’s why they’re not allowed on freeways / highways in places they’re allowed, thus it’s not a problem.

handles poorly due to the wheel size

Better than a lot of what’s steeet-legal, still.

they certainly are not safer than any US vehicle made in the last 35 years.

They certainly are, you’re just pretending that their use-case is identical to say a sedan when that’s not the case. When used for their purpose (Shirt-Medium distances on Slow-Medium speed roads) they are fantastic vehicles. There’s a reason they’re still made and sell like hotcakes elsewhere in the world.

gamermanh , 18 days ago

There are no passenger vehicles produced in the states with wheels that size

First: wheel size is not the only variable for handling, not even close. Second: produced in the US is different than legal to drive on our roads.

But don’t pretend that they are in the same class as other vehicles on the roads in the US

You’re right, quite a few of the shitboxes I see out there with valid tags are quite a bit WORSE than a Kei truck.

I’m saying that there are valid concerns about them

And I’m saying that’s blatantly false when we let far more unsafe vehicles exist and Kei trucks do just fine in other countries. The amount of Keis I’ve seen when visiting Japan is staggering, if they were truly a death trap worth regulating then there’d be some statistics backing that up from Japan and they’d likely be way less popular for being stupidly unsafe.

I’ve driven in multiple Kei trucks and they’re about on par with what a LOT of rural farms and even state/federal park services will use. If modern ones were even legal to import in the first place they’d be even better on the safety front.

some DMVs are finding them not to be up to snuff.

Nice appeal to authority. A DMV finding something to be unsafe means jack shit in a world where there’s lobbying incentive for governments to make rules so companies can make money. You know, the original reason Kei trucks are banned?

Assuming that the world continues to exist in a way that lets me have a steam account at the time of my natural lifespans average end (another… 46 years):

My steam library grows at a slower rate than my mass storage has, and I’m quite confident that one will be able to fit my entire steam library as it currently is on a normal and affordable drive in at most 15 years.

With those two facts in play I can remain confident in my ability to crack everything I own (assuming I even want everything) and safely store it for at-will passing down to as many people as I want.

But thanks for the reminder to not blindly trust you, Valve. Always useful to have those.

Lol @ this barely coherent drivel being up voted.

Lol harder at the butthurt 3.5mm fetishists who downvote simple answers to their unbelievably petty and stupid criticisms.

Lol hardest at every dipshit who mentioned Bluetooth and didn’t like when the adapters were pointed out as the basic solution to their whining.

“We don’t want solutions we want to bitch”

simplicity the cable just works. no configuration. no pairing .un pairing, figuring why it worked yesterday

Use the adapter plug as mentioned. You can even just leave it on your normal headphones if you only use 1 pair!

whats the big deal. This is a bias for the plug users - would it hurt to keep it?

Hurts waterproofing, phone slimness and design, etc. again, you can just use an adapter to have all the stuff you’re whining about back.

Investment - I have really good headphones. I have really good earbuds. Yes there are adapters but they are finicky exactly when you want them to just work

No, you’re either talking out of your ass or buying the cheapest possible cord and being shocked when it doesn’t work right. My $8 adapter has worked for 4 years no problem driving over-ear headphones no issues.

they purposefully gloss over the things they are taking away

Nothing was taken away. It’s literally just combined with another port now.

If you want to be mad at anyone: be mad at the people making headphones with 3.5mm jacks rather than USB-C, as they’re the ones using an outdated port.

gamermanh , 21 days ago

Why would I give up my existing wired headphones to replace them with expensive sub-standard battery operated ones

You don’t, you use an adapter and move on with life.

I seriously do not understand people who die on this hill. The 3.5 Jack is dead in electronics and the only people making the transition painful are the HEADPHONE manufacturers who refuse to wire a USB-C instead of a now-outded plug.

This happens every time an obsolete connector gets phased out: cheap manufacturers keep using it well beyond the reasonable time to swap out, leaving the end users who fear change to cling on even longer for no good reason

gamermanh , 21 days ago

Literally just get that kind of charger. That $8 one I have is one.

All you weird-ass fetishists for an old connector keep having the most child-lrvel intelligence “gotchas”

gamermanh , 21 days ago

Type C can’t spin 360°

Headphone jack portion of the adapter can

Remember the 2000s

Yeah, because everyone having a different charger is the same thing as an actually UNIVERSAL connector.

gamermanh , 21 days ago

I love how anyone with half a fucking brain gets down voted.

Rather than point out where youre wrong thet just keep yelling about Bluetooth and downvotig once they realize they’ve run out of “gotchas”

Anyone fucking stupid enough to think the 3.5mm Jack is a good thing deserves the disappointment they feel every time a device doesn’t have own, tbh, bring it on themselves

gamermanh , 21 days ago

I have been, I don’t respect people who want things to stay the way they were because they refuse to try new things.

People with very polite and normal responses were gettug downvoters just because they offered solutions that can’t be dismissed easily, so downvoting was done instead.

It allllways comes to the civility argument when people know their position is dog shit, too. Cute.

gamermanh , 21 days ago

Sorry, that’s not how public forums work.

Don’t like me replying to someone else? You can fuck off, you know?

I just can’t help but notice when people are being terrible conversation partners, mostly

Funny that you called me the one not paying attention to other people’s desires when all I did was point out that the people claiming there was literally no other option were wrong. I’d consider burying your head in the sand and pretending adapters don’t exist as being a garbage conversation partner.

Are you 12?

No, but you must be if you think what I said is in any way contentious. People in this thread are being gigantic whiners about pointless shit and I have nothing but contempt for them after seeing the dogshit arguments for their side and personal attacks at me rather than actual points being made.
