The only thing they have going for them is their phones, and I'm planning on jumping ship when I can no longer update my current one. I would keep it longer, but flashing a different ROM on there trips Knox, which is somewhat patched with other hacks. Last I read was that these other hacks are becoming unreliable.

I support about 1200 users with about 8 other people. There is not tight control of the purchasing, so while most users have HP monitors, there is a hodgepodge of other monitors floating around.

Occasionally a monitor fails. With everything running on DC and using LED backlights, they last much longer. When supplies ran extra thin, about 20 Samsung monitors were purchased 4 years ago. They work, but have a terrible habit of losing connection with the desktop. Samsung will replace/repair them, but they still have the bad habit of losing the connection to the desktop.

Same systems work just fine with any other brand monitor, down to 20 year old displays. I'm convinced that there is a bug in the monitor that doesn't detect video output properly.

I'm not concerned either. Think about the compression on batteries before they pop the case.

You should worry more about tears in the outer lining of the battery. The dent might damage that cell, leading to bloating. If you consider the life of the tablet, it might just expand anyway. I say use it now while you can.

I had a friend on IRC who disappeared then. Never heard from her again. It's my hope she just was displaced for a while and eventually found a good place again.

My family probably wouldn't make it past 3 weeks. We are dependent on rechargeable electronic insulin pumps. Pumps last 3-5 days. Can be recharged on a laptop, maybe 2-3 times. Can recharge in the car a few times. Our real problem is no food.

I abandoned Newegg because of all the negative comments about not being able to return stuff.

Pretty sure he's also threatened Mexico.

I found that sometimes I need the right terms to find what I need. I'll search several times in rapid succession to narrow down what I want.

I wanted an oversized hoodie for my wife that didn't look like ass and didn't choke her.

Started with oversized hoodie, oversized woman's hoodie, oversized hoodie deep neck, finally oversized hoodie v neck was what I wanted. Then I scrolled a few pages to see the options.

It's really bad though when looking for memory or storage. 1TB nvme? That works. 1TB SSD? Nope. 1TB SSD SATA mostly works, just have to make sure it's ACTUALLY 1TB.

Yeah, sharing a circuit between kitchen and server room is bad juju, and lying about a home run vs a daisy chain from another circuit is dishonest and dangerous.

You should see what the cost used to be for court reporter transcripts.

Only fair if they are paying $1.00 for the DVD it is written to.

These records could be posted online for download for free*.

I replaced my car battery a few years ago thinking it was just going to be $50. $175 later...

That's a win, I guess. It's still fucked that the u.s. government spends more per new fighter plane annually than on pediatric cancer research.

I always ask for about 3x my estimated tax value. They ask why, and I tell them that I want to but another house that isn't falling down around me.

Yet.

Some people need sunlight fixtures in their home due to low vitamin d.

I am under the impression that Roblox is not compatible with Linux due to anti cheat. I went Linux mint and installed the Linux versions of the top have stores. Steam provides compatibility for many games due to the Steam deck. No issues noted for Minecraft. Haven't played Fortnite on Linux, but it's available from the Epic launcher.

I'd rather just be 5'11" or 6'.

Given the Kindle Fire, ads will stream to the occupants if nothing is playing over the audio system. There would be no way to install a third party sound system because it is also the computer.
