  • 3 new chip fabs open recently around phx, which is in low-altitude desert, has had water supply issues for so long there's a canal running from the Colo river through it all the way to Tucson.

    Which is fed by a reservoir so low they find old mobster kills in barrels and might have to stop making power.

    Why so stupid and short-sighted?

    Ah, "faith-based".

    And a Republican governor made the deals. Who also allowed water to be used to grow alfalfa that's sent to Saudi to feed their horses.

    $$$ + no sense

  • All the music files had strings of characters added to their file name. All of them. In every folder and subfolder. The names were long, VLC displayed them in marquee.

    In that player those changed names didn't show, but un any other player and file manager they did. Which I found out when sicmu started having playback issues and I opened VLC.

    That was perhaps the 2nd or 3rd version of it posted on FDroid. I used to search for a folder player a lot and so tried the first version posted there, it was great until that update.

    Great player, just won't use it again.

  • I tried that some time ago, one early version renamed my files so that I had to rebuild my SD in order to sync directories.

    Up to that point I liked it a lott and used it. VLC, despite the UI, has not wrecked my files.

  • A problem well stated is a problem half-solved.

    Charles Kettering

    Charles Franklin Kettering (August 29, 1876 – November 25, 1958) sometimes known as Charles Fredrick Kettering[1] was an American inventor, engineer, businessman, and the holder of 186 patents.[2] He was a founder of Delco, and was head of research at General Motors from 1920 to 1947. Among his most widely used automotive developments were the electrical starting motor[3] and leaded gasoline.[4] In association with the DuPont Chemical Company, he was also responsible for the invention of Freon refrigerant for refrigeration and air conditioning systems. At DuPont he also was responsible for the development of Duco lacquers and enamels, the first practical colored paints for mass-produced automobiles. While working with the Dayton-Wright Company he developed the "Bug" aerial torpedo, considered the world's first aerial missile.[5] He led the advancement of practical, lightweight two-stroke diesel engines, revolutionizing the locomotive and heavy equipment industries. In 1927, he founded the Kettering Foundation, a non-partisan research foundation, and was featured on the cover of Time magazine in January 1933.
