I know it's not "apples to apples" but swapping giant forktruck batteries (I assume they were lead-acid) has been done for decades too. I think we did it at Sam's Club, at least for when the batteries wouldn't charge.

Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

Tack "&udm=14" on to the end of a normal search, and you'll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

ok... I'll ask.. where the heck is the "sysreq" key on my standard keyboard?

CraigeryTheKid ,

so it is! and I tested it, of course, with alt-sys-b which instantly rebooted my machine. nice.

CraigeryTheKid ,

Not to be that guy but I cold-turkey switched daily driver and I cannot believe I didn't do it earlier. Total amateur "copy-paster" and the only thing I sometimes can't get working are pirated games. Steam changed everything for gaming.

CraigeryTheKid ,

I switched my kids' PCs to Pop!_OS and other than "icons moving" yeah they didn't notice.

Especially when they mostly use Firefox and Steam, and those are exactly the same.

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

CraigeryTheKid ,

I still love that verification can reference. It was actually quite a bit ago but keeps getting more and more relevant.

CraigeryTheKid ,

like when the collective world went outside at the same time when Pokemon Go launched. Our quiet downtown area was amazing to walk through. all those people.

CraigeryTheKid ,

I'm one of the weirdos that like ME... sure, I reformatted a few times. But i liked it!

door opening sound
knock knock

I can still sometimes "hear" ICQ, and that's going on almost 30 years ago now?

CraigeryTheKid ,

as a retailer, might make a lot of sense not trying to close the books every year within a week of Christmas?; OR to prevent all the accountants from working overtime in that period?

my company's FY is June-May

CraigeryTheKid ,

I have the Husq 115h, 3rd year starting now. After it "breaks in" and everything is even, you don't see/notice that the pattern is random. You just see cut grass.

I did have to modify the unit though! I contacted vender and Husq but it didn't really go anywhere. Basically I had to cut off 2" of the "chin" in front because it kept hitting chunks of grass and triggering impact. After cutting, it works perfect. Seems like a really odd defect on their end.

Segway Navimow

I have the Husq, but this is the first I've heard of the Segway. Pricier, but looks rather interesting!

CraigeryTheKid ,

Pop!_OS... About 5 months ago. first time user just hard switched on my main.

But now 3 PCs are running it in the house.

CraigeryTheKid ,

I'm 40, and when I first opened the image, I was overwhelmed with how hilariously gay it looked. But not in a bad way - almost at if it were made unironically for lgbtq.

The other person that replied to you with a lengthy list is spot on.

CraigeryTheKid ,

I still have relatives that say "ugh that's gay" to mean "I don't like that".

I don't speak to these relatives anymore.

CraigeryTheKid ,

yeah, other than the obvious "haha-ing in Linux" (which.. I also use Linux) - the REAL answer is people will just keep using the outdated Windows until THAT computer dies it's natural death.

CraigeryTheKid ,

no joke, running around level 1 killing little things is genuinely the best feeling from a game sometimes.

I still think about 2004, when I was leveling human in Northshire, or dwarf in coldridge, or tauren, etc.

CraigeryTheKid ,

I thought they won against Dolphin? Or am I just thinking when Steam removed it.

PoE Single Board/Micro/Mini Computer/Server

I have an 8gb Raspberry Pi 4 that has been a workhorse for years. I keep it for my not intense but essential networking purposes, NetBoot.xyz, Homepage, etc., because I can run it over PoE (edit: Power over Ethernet), so it is always on as long as my network is up....

CraigeryTheKid ,

Ugh now even my Pi needs clothes??!? Ridiculous.

CraigeryTheKid ,

Yeah I definitely saw the solar flares article.

This living person trusts the living flares we're the cause, as they never rejected my coupons.

CraigeryTheKid ,

Most of our packaging machines require < 1%, target <0.5% variance (both ways). Honestly in practice, over a whole batch the total variance is extremely tiny.

Add to this story the accuracy of a household, not-calibrated scale? Yeah I'd say this seems OK.

CraigeryTheKid ,

I mean.. that's a good point. I only make bulk materials, like 1 ton supersaks, and we tend to OVERfill so customers don't complain, with the target still being close to zero for a whole batch.

CraigeryTheKid ,

I'm so used to it, I was expecting more. "that's it?" - i thought to myself, in this boring dystopia.

CraigeryTheKid ,

that's who I use! $15 to file state, free federal; I mean that's pretty close to 'free' compared to Turbo/Inuit pushing you close to $100 after all the BS. And freetaxusa keeps my info for subsequent years, etc.

CraigeryTheKid ,

thanks, but I make too much according to that, which is something else people seem to skip over whenever these "just do it for free!!!!" posts come up. You have to make below $80k (AGI) even when married.

But, again, even if I didn't, $15 seems pretty fair to me, to avoid having to hunt for the magical free method.

CraigeryTheKid ,

No, the woman is different. First is his wife, from before billionaire. Second is new woman, after the billions rotted his brain and he lost all sense of reason and taste.
