  • Railguns, there already exist prototypes that destroy themselves. So close!

  • Trade in offer poor value.

    I can sell mine often for 3x what they offer.

  • I just experienced this over the last couple days.

    Both operating systems died on my dual boot system. Long story short they killed each other.

    So I switched to my laptop and made a boot disk to try and fix them. To which I discovered my favourite flash drive was acting up.

    I searched through my things for about an hour until I found another.

    To my horror I discovered massive file system corruption. But, that's ok I have backups I'll just install Linux again.

    Oh wow, the installer can't understand that I want to use luks with a filesystem that supports snapshots. And the work around didn't work anymore.

    Many tedious tasks later I'm in the os. Only for an update to fill /boot and kill my system yet again. Also screw you AMD for making your GPU + Rocm package ~20GB post install. (Unrelated but why?!)

    After all that I try to get my games going again but this new game I got the DRM screwed me over.

    Fine I'll get windows going again ...Only to discover the new windows 11 installer is super buggy and refuses to let me install in any way. (I have multiple drives all tested fine too)

    I had to resort to doing a oobe deployment. Finally got into Windows and none of my USB ports work. More effort later I'm in, bypass the Microsoft account nonsense.

    While playing my game Razer decides to do a firmware update on my mouse and it goes dead in the middle of some serious PvP action....

    During this entire process I also managed to break my phone and my internet went down.

    So the lesson from this story is to also backup your operating system(s) have a extra mouse handy and take better notes.

    :D

  • I'm a big fan of init 0. My friends say I'm living on the edge but if an application can't handle it, I don't want it.

  • Have a slice!

  • I can understand your perspective.

    My concern is from a tech support perspective I'll be required to stock at least a few of each variation and need to teach people which ones and how to replace it. Plus the ecological concern of perfectly good batteries are going to waste because the next model can't use them.

    And I'll inevitably have clients that will attempt to use the wrong one while on a mission critical trip to somewhere. And of course it's not available anymore or some other road blocker.

    This problem was mostly solved ages ago in other small electronics with things like AA batteries being a popular standard.

    So I'm hopeful for a future where there's an AA equivalent for phones and laptops.

  • I hope they standardise the battery too. Otherwise we'll be back in the early 2000s where every submodel of phone had a unique connector.

  • For web APIs you can play with the program postman to get a feel for them. It doesn't do soap well though.

  • Don't money shift it, pay attention to the road.

  • I've been using Firefox ESR. It's stable, reliable and ublock origin works great on it.

    My buddies are trying to get me to use brave but I'm hesitant. I've been using Firefox since it was Netscape.

  • The article is pretty junk. What's the plan offer?

  • Break your project down into bite size goals. With rewards.

    Start with cleaning the bathroom. Take a nice long bath after.

    Focus on the rubbish in your bedroom, go for a small walk to the variety store. (Consider having a monster drink)

    When you come home focus on loose clothing on the floor. Put them in the wash.

    Carry on this routine. If you trust yourself not to be too distracted play some old DVDs in the background.

    Carry on with this pattern, doesn't need to be all in the same day.

    Did you do the dishes yet?

  • Oh I can relate to this.

    I did a full factory wipe of my router and winsock reset when WinMX went down forever.

  • Each currency has foss software that pairs with it.

    Some of them require serious hardware to run locally but they can generate a wallet for you.

    It's crucial you back that up.

  • I doubt it. I've seen people try to fix pressure damage with a flame with mixed results.

    The frame is potentially warped if you're able to adjust it, you could luck out. But understand it's more likely to get worse.

  • No way!

  • Can confirm just finished counting 39,999 toes. Hmm wait

  • Oh that's really cool. I didn't know people were doing that for non-console games.
