  • At work I've started taking an 'I told you so' photo of problems on the day they are identified so I can bring it up at 6 months later when it finally fails. Would recommend.

  • Web is the way. No apps, no filtering, just the site as intended by the dev.

  • VM. Always practice new systems in a VM. Took me half a dozen tries to get a fuckup-free Void install in a VM but only one on the actual hardware.

  • Chiming in with another great alternative, Tactile lets you tile windows and stack at the same time. Between the Tactile hotkeys, Alt+Tab and Alt+~ I never need to use the mouse for window manipulation anymore.

  • The Boomer Method

  • Nah. Relying on an ad subsidized service to alert you of danger is a bad idea both for the end user and the local government.

    There is a already an emergency alert system baked into every iPhone and Android device, the government is responsible for using it regardless of whether there is commercial service working in parallel to theirs.

  • It's nice that an ad company lets us know when we might accidentally die but, yeah, not a first line of defense. Local government should be beating commercial sources to the punch every time vital information needs to go out.

  • I find most laptops are well supported about a year after their release.

  • Company I'm at runs Windows server. Kill me.

  • I have a Zoom, it appears as a USB audio input device, never gave me any issues.

  • Average users view the web raw, this will go totally unnoticed by >90% of users. If web-drm becomes a thing then it will be easy enough to block those sites and add them to the list of media that is morally acceptable to pirate.

  • For sure, digital dont on do well outside of ideal conditions. There are a few women in the plant who's voices are above 1/2 of the sample frequency so their calls come across as 100% aliasing after it gets compressed and encoded.

    I think digital was chosen for us because they can have dozens of virtual channels on one frequency where as on analog they were paying for a licence transmit on several.

    /edit: a typo

  • I moved from Vegas to kden and while not painless I am not missing any features. Would recommend!

  • Digital is noisy af. When we switched from analog to digital at work (same radios, just a software upgrade) they started to interfere with loads of equipment.

  • If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to hide.

    I wonder if this message will hold now that the shoe is on the other cock.

  • Spent all of my retirement savings to buy 1/4 of a house that will take 30 years to pay off. If I'm lucky I can start saving again when I'm 65.

  • No IPA

  • Get a fixed-gear bike.
