  • Nothing is going to top Your Name for a long time. As a creator, it's really hard when you create your best work ever, and then are expected to make the next one even better.

    One thing that really got me that probably got lost on most International viewers is that the hook at the end ties in with the 2011 tsunami. I wonder if the Localization team will make some sort of pre-roll material to make that scene hit harder for future audiences.

  • You need a full 8.1 surround lock system. These can be pricey, but I recommend this one from EcoBee. They typically run around $1300 each, but they come with elastiglass replacement if your window breaks under their protection, which I think is worth it.

    I've debated getting rid of windows entirely to remove the risk, but I think I have enough protections in place for now.

  • This once happened to me, thankfully for only a few hours rather than days. I woke up one morning to a fwipping noise in my ear, went to the bathroom to see if I could flush it out with water, and a spider just dangled on a line out of my ear.

    It was strange, but not really scary. Jumping spiders are harmless to humans, and this one was only a millimeter or so big.

  • I'd love to kick some money his way, but he only has two tiers: $20/mo and $100/mo. I think he could get a lot more donations if he started with a $5/mo tier.

    I think he'd also do well to make a "this is why you should use bcachefs of ext4" sort of post to bring awareness to the project and its benefits.

  • My brother in Christ, this is the exact reason why we are pushing for better public transportation and reduced car dependency.

    We dream of a world where, god forbid your car breaks down, you can make it to work within roughly the same amount of time whether you walk, bike, or take the bus. And this isn't even a fantasy, this dream is alive and well in The Netherlands, Japan, even fucking Disneyland.

    We just need to actually start taking Public Transit seriously in this country so that it can improve.

  • Almost certainly it originated from pen and paper shorthand. The internet has a lot of history in regard to it potentially being due to T9 slang, but I remember it being shown to me before cellphones were in wide use.

  • Oh yeah, you're right. I'm sure it will get better with time, or we'll just get used to it.

    Roger Craig Smith's initial voice for Sonic in Promos was awful, but it was serviceable by the time the first game came out.

  • He's a pretty decent drop-in replacement. I thought for sure I'd notice a difference from the promo video at the end of the article. Even though there is a minor difference, it's so negligible you could easily just pretend Charles had a cold in the booth.

    It's a lot better than the Sonic Voice Actor fiasco Sega has had.

  • Correct, the mscorefonts may be a little overkill, but it would be the quickest solution. My guess is that Debian's default fonts "aren't up to par", so they could also download and install other fonts and use them as the default san-serif font, but unless they got lucky it could take longer than just installing the fonts their father knows and loves.

  • Blocky fonts could just be Yahoo falling back to older fonts as it finds the Windows/MacOS fonts not installed on the local system. The easiest thing you could do to verify this is install the mscorefonts (the way to install it changes every few years, so you'll need to search it).

  • I work in electronics manufacturing and I'm torn on this issue.

    On the one hand, fuck Apple for requiring to go through so many hoops.

    On the other hand, every device my company makes has an internal checksum and if one PCB is installed incorrectly, the main board throws a fit because the device checksum doesn't match.

    It sounds like Apple may do something similar for their products and it sort of makes sense: determined people try something crazy like take an older iPhone and install a newer Wireless module or replace Lightning with USB-C. Neither of those things were intended by Apple, and there's a huge potential that it wouldn't work.

    With that said, it's absolutely overkill for things like display or digitizer replacements, which are going to be the majority of repairs on iPhones.

    Tl;Dr - fuck Apple, this is dumb, the users have the right to repair
