Typing abusive is a trigger for them.

I’ve generally had good luck with hardware and things just worked under linux. But one day I upgraded a few machines on my network to 2.5G ethernet. Several already had the ports, but my little NUC NAS box didn’t, so I installed a 2.5G usb ethernet dongle. No matter what I did, I couldn’t get it to work. It would show up and NM would act like it was up and there were no errors or anything, but it just wouldn’t actually function.

Eventually, I found out that it has a built in USB data partition that contains the drivers for windows. The card was coming up as a usb disk first when the hardware was assigned and not a network card which it should have been.

I had to write a blacklist the usb modules first, which I had done before, but I had to also write a udev rule to automatically add the network card and driver on boot. It wasn’t that difficult to actually do, but I had just never had to do anything with udev rules before. Took me a good three days of troubleshooting to finally get everything to work correctly on boot.

Not on my Galaxy S23+ from Google Fi

You can see the awful, misaligned panel gaps in those photos.

The sound of the “Click of Death” still haunts me.

We had Jazz drives too, which just failed and caused you to lose a larger amount of data than a zip.

Nice find!

I’d be curious to see RTINGS do a review of the panel on it.

I thought I was 43 for probably close to a year, and even told everyone that asked I was until I had to get my own health insurance and found out I was actually 44.

Except if you care about anything having to do with picture quality, brightness, contrast ratio or features such as HDR etc, then it’s going to be a really shitty TV. They’re made for the menus at McDonald’s, not a device for modern media.

Steelcase leap v2 from Crandall online.

They’re an official remanufacturee, so they put new cylinders, new casters and other parts like fresh foam and fabric on them.

Mine was a grade B and honestly, I couldn’t find a single mark or scratch on it.

It’s adjustable and lockable on the Leap v2 that I have.

I really like that I can set it at the angle I prefer and like you said, keep it from going back every time I want to sit back in the chair.

If you disable the Ethernet/WiFI then you can create a local account, but you have to do a small.extra step…

press SHIFT+F10 keys to open Command Prompt.

Run the following: OOBE\BYPASSNRO

After this, setup will reboot the computer and you’ll get a new option I don’t have Internet or Continue with limited setup to skip the Internet requirement and you can create a local account as well.

Lol, what? There is no malware in classic shell, or start11 or explorer patcher. Wtf are you talking about?

This is only the 3764th post this week…

Except you still pay for Prime so it doesn’t really matter if your delete the app…

The iPhone is not anywhere close to being able to play any AAA titles at 4k with raytracing, what are you smoking? Cause I want some… just cause it’s running at a 4k res with some sort of “raytracing” activated does not equate to anything near what the lame ass consoles can do, much less a PC with a decent GPU. It’s just not the same when it comes down to the rendered frames being compared.

A mobile port is just not even in the same ball park.

Never had to remove a single phone I’ve ever owned from the case to wirelessly charge.

Such a fun game to play with a partner. It has a great story… My GF and I made it pretty far but she just doesn’t have the controller skills to manage a certain boss fight later game. I’m trying to get her to play other games to get some practice. I’d really like to finish it.

I still use Feedly daily!

I use it when I need it to speed up python scripting for CG applications, but I don’t need it on a constant basis. It could be weeks or more between when I’ll dig into it.

At some point, the people of Afghanistan should be able to take control of their own country. How can a vast majority of the people sit there and let a tiny percentage dictate the lives and rules for everyone? Kick the Taliban out of your country.
