My threadripper 1950x is from 2017… and is the cpu powering my primary hypervisor perfectly fine. That’s not 18 years ago, that’s not even 8 years ago.

Please do not buy cheap no brand android tv boxes unless you know how to verify they are not running malware out of the box. This is a known problem and shouldn’t be recommended.

When walking by / through vehicles in a parking lot with things in my hands, I will make the conscious effort to pull my arms close to my body and prevent them swaying or moving with my normal walk. As well as moving items from one hand to the other if the car is on the side that was holding them. Nobody likes scratches and dings!

Zee shell, or zish or just each letter ze es aych depends on my mood and if I’m feeling spicy.

Most of my playlists are actually by artist. Silly as it sounds I will put whole albums by the same artist in release order into new playlists by their name so I can just ask Siri to “play playlist <artist name>” and listen to the albums in order as I tend to listen to whole albums. The other playlists are like my year in review playlists that were automatically generated and some curated playlists like “weekly new music” and “top alternative” type stuff that I didn’t create but added and listen to often.

If I want a mix of stuff I like, I don’t turn to playlists anymore and instead I just ask Siri to “play some music” because the “just for you” radio is so good that I get tons of hits and top songs for my own taste as well as discover tons of new to me music that gets sprinkled in that the algorithm finds for me.

If the “play some music” stuff ends up not what I want to hear right then, I’ll just make the same request again or “play some different music” and it will switch to other music it knows I like. This is helpful when one request sends me down electronic path when I want more alt rock, etc.

Most cheap usb switchers will use them on the computer-switch side. I have a few models that I was testing out so I have a small pile of these. They’re great for cutting in half and using as a small usb power supply cable to breadboard projects, along with the horde of 5w Apple chargers I have in a bin.

What’s more, all keyless cars still have a fob with proximity and if the fob dies, they legally have to have a way to start the car without the fob battery which is why they all have an nfc reader somewhere (usually in a cup holder) so you can put you dead fob on it and the car will start like normal.

That’s really unnecessary, even as a joke.

A predatory bird, which would give me extra cones and rods to see more colors / spectrum as well as possibly telescopic vision.

A shark, so I can swim better and breathe underwater. Then maybe I won’t be so afraid of large bodies of water.

It’s especially irresponsible because you just know that this kid and his team (if he has one) gave in to any and all demands of the trump campaign. No leverage, nothing in return, no facts, no value.

It’s a very enterprise thing to do. Ensuring your company gets a contract for long term support and installation.

Bluetooth is a questionable choice unless the company also offered some kind of network appliance that incorporates connections in a cheaper way than all units being networked. Allowing the hub, as a serviceable component, to provide additional monitoring and functionality without requiring each unit to also contain the components. There’s certainly reasons, not outlandish either, but who knows?

Donating $20 directly to a creator or buying one item from their merch will more than offset a lifetime of ad revenue from just yourself if you use ad blockers for their content. The fractional pennies you are worth to them is completely eclipsed by directly supporting most of them a single time.

I moved to mbin too, as Ernest was obviously unable to commit the time and resources needed while he has been dealing with life and health related issues. The real bummer is the complete lack of willingness to accept or recognize help when it’s required so the least I could do to help the project was actually to stop using it and remove my usage from the servers he wouldn’t be able to maintain. It’s sad but the fediverse is functioning as intended here, being able to move around is a core feature. I hope he recovers well.

Go for a run or cold shower. Get your heart rate up, similar effect.

All the mythological cures rely on one specific thing: focusing on a task or overriding your brain’s autonomic systems with adrenaline (get scared). Don’t think about it and do something else with as much concentration as you can will. Sorry if you’re ADHD.

I just enabled the option to reopen tabs on close, usually open a new tab right before closing with the primary X button, then reopen Firefox so it unloads all tabs that don’t get loaded until I click on them individually. Works fine, isn’t a huge hassle. Good enough at least until it’s officially a feature.

I’ve been using Debian for many years now. The hardest part about switching my desktop to arch (partly to try something different, partly for later kernel / tools) was not that arch is difficult, but that I need to type ‘sudo pacman -S’ instead of ‘sudo apt install’ to install new packages. It is functionally the same in my day to day use which is fantastic.

My point was more about timeline. Is my company’s RTO mandate from 2022 part of the 3%? 8%? How are they counting? The article wasn’t very clear to me so I must be missing something.
