Purchased an Osborne MPV1024 monitor and it just works

  • The click and distortion is the auto degaussing. Probably happens because the power button is stuck down. You used to push and hold on some models to degauss.

  • Mint runs on a 17-year-old Acer Aspire One I have. Slowly, very slowly, but perfectly.

    • Snap out of it

  • OK that's better than what I've seen. Notepadqq I think was 2.4gb and I said no to that one. But again I don't run Ubuntu.

    • Amazon is making its employees come back to the office five days a week

  • Everything is just mitigations. There is no zero risk.

  • The snap store is some proprietary store Canonical runs, and snaps are friggin huge in size. I don't really know though as I don't use Ubuntu anymore

    • Disabling wi-fi on Samsung home appliances (specifically dishwasher)

  • Speed Queen is still making dumb albeit electronic models. Bit pricey but solid. Or get yourself an old one off Craigslist and call someone to refurb it. Those will often outlast anything else.

    • What are we doing for TVs these days software wise?

  • yeah I've got both. The 3 won't play the really hi red movies without down sampling from the server

  • A 4B is kind of the minimum for newer Librelec versions. Still cheap and fanless with a good heat sink case. I've learned recently about CEC and it works on my old Panasonic with Viera but I keep a little Bluetooth keyboard around too.

  • It is kinda shocking how well really old junk runs under Linux vs Windows's treatment of it.

  • Just started messing with this last night and can't find wjhere Jellyfin ends up after installing it.

    • What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?

  • Yeah just walk through Costco and see the massive varieties of ready to eat stuff. But a ton of people here just eat out all the time too.

  • Home cooking. It is super easy and about 100x healthier. Don't know how? Get the America's Test Kitchen Best Skillet Recipes book. Lots of super easy things in there. Once you get in the habit you really only have to do it 3-4 times a week, and there are lots of frozen meals.

    • Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead

  • Some places are ditching the website and going app-only. Stockpile as an example.

    • TIL about Sebastian Münster's 1540 map of the Americas, the first one to show that North and South America were connected by an isthmus and the first to call it 'The New World.'

  • Sort of map-related, but the Longitude series/book is pretty fascinating. This map was drawn without really being able to calculate longitude except by dead reckoning.

    • Chrome will block one of its biggest ad blockers

  • Jellyfin is working pretty well for TV too, with the Schedules Direct feed. Just doesn't get the naming right.

    • Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising

    Jump

  • Don't know what you mean. Have people on opens use here, and they do just fine without the command line.

    • Found a good book

  • Oh this is the Shut Up and Eat Your Snowshoes guy. I found a copy of that when I was a kid, thought it was kinda funny. God knows what I would think now.
