Now do the “purist” that spends their entire life trying to strip everything possible off to “save memory” when they should probably just use Alpine or NetBSD.

    Me too. Some development companies refuse to support it period or their games are unavailable to stream due to licensing etc., and that is the only reason I dual boot now. I would ditch it in a heartbeat otherwise.

    IIRC the Voodoo 5 6000 also required an external power supply and people thought this was crazy at the time.

    Pure damage control lingo. Anyone in the game for a while knows exactly how Broadcom operates. Theyre not hanging around while they squeeze the juice out until it becomes another SAP or Oracle. If he thinks a subscription model isn’t going to cause a mass exodus, he is a fool.

    Kinda miss the Wild West days where you'd recompile and suddenly there'd be a whole new device naming convention.

    Arstechnica looking like a malware proliferating site itself on mobile.

    I don’t know if it goes that deep. Lately in the US it seems like yet another anti-woke playbook thing for the far right.

    I've seen them owned by the RSS functionality. So many little hidey holes. I can't imagine how diverse their infrastructure is.

    sleepmode ,

    Never heard that phrase used there either. But uh... can confirm the rest. It's a bummer to say the least.

    sleepmode ,

    Lots of murdering but I have one of the queens’ full endorsement after her sister tried to stage a coup.

    sleepmode ,

    interesting. Usually they will try to start your car and take off using that signal boosting method.

    sleepmode ,

    Side note, never ever sign the first offer. They call it “first pencil.”

    sleepmode ,

    I'm finishing up moving all my accounts to Proton. I don't trust them at all anymore. Late stage capitalism at its finest.

    sleepmode ,

    Someone was really into Saints Row 2.

    sleepmode ,

    Took me a sec. I need to finish Boltgun…

    sleepmode ,

    After seeing the horrific stuff my demented friends have made dall-e barf out I’m excited and afraid at the same time.

    sleepmode ,

    The option to install Opera should be removed.

    sleepmode ,

    I use Amazon to find stuff I want or need. Then I look to see if I can buy direct and more often than not it’s close or close enough in price and shipping. Or I look for a specialty retailer like B&H if it’s electronic, Jenson USA for bike parts etc. As a side bonus they usually know how to pack items properly too.

    sleepmode ,

    This is true. I also noticed certain vendors will sometimes have their own SKU of the “same” product - they’re just a different spec. Asus and MSI laptops are one example.

    sleepmode ,

    Interesting. I wonder if that has anything to do with why some companies started dumping them for regular TLDs.

    sleepmode ,

    …the same reason you don’t see Sony releasing every PS5 with a dev board. Of course you can extend the ESP32 or whatever microcontroller to do anything the Flipper can. That’s obvious. Go search around on GitHub there are thousands of projects you can do with the ESP32 that will have the FBI making a personal visit to your house. The whole point of the Flipper is it’s turnkey and makes it easy for people that are less skilled or don’t have the patience to do all that.

    sleepmode ,

    tldr with snark. I’m all for it.

    sleepmode ,

    Mouse companies do this too. They ask you to cut the cord and video it usually. Or damage it until it’s completely unusable. Or they completely ignore you until you call them out on a public forum. Lookin at you, Cherry xtrfy 😉

    sleepmode ,

    Yeah it’s kinda stupid. But most people don’t know how to solder or do basic repairs.

    sleepmode , (edited )

    Vine understood that. TikTok doesn’t and YouTube shorts is a glitchy mess. I use an extension to hide them because of it.

    sleepmode ,

    I’m suspicious of anyone overconfident like that. The pen-testers I know love to make examples of them.

    sleepmode ,

    Sandy Bridge was such a monster when it dropped. Weird to see it in this context. shakes cane

    It’s too bad hgh doesn’t work for brains.

    sleepmode ,

    It’s a joke unless you need something overnighted or next day and as a bonus - it will usually be improperly packaged and delivered with malice.

    Prime Video catalogue is a pale shadow of what it used to be. Exclusives have dwindled. Now they want 3 bucks for no ads on top of paying for Prime? Naw.

    Counterfeits are everywhere. That’s what Aliexpress is for (half joking). Frequently have to check the manufacturer’s site when pricing or picture seems dubious.

    One delivery driver commandeers our neighbors’ empty driveway, swings the back doors open and blasts shitty pop music at full volume while fumbling through deliveries for 30 minutes every other day.

    Buying direct is now often the same price more or less and you can get in a week anyway for negligible shipping price. Or even free shipping if you spend x amount.

    So we cancelled too.

    sleepmode , (edited )

    Yep mine are always floating around in the boxes, dogeared and cosmetically damaged. They can’t even get their original core service right.

    Edit: Just ordered a roofing tool. Was shipped the tool packaging and the pieces of the box from them tearing it open to steal. But it was carefully supported with packaging material this time. Hilarious.

    sleepmode ,

    Power fickleness varies across every pi we’ve looked that. They need clean and steady or you can have some wild results.

    sleepmode ,

    They asked nicely. Then they abruptly started threatening termination. Keep in mind this is after they had to close a few offices when the regular employee RTO mandate resulted in a large amount of attrition.

    So now there are people with 120+ mile round trip commutes because they live within the cutoff distance. Nearly all meetings are video calls anyway due to team members being scattered all over the world. When folks asked leadership why in a company-wide meeting months ago they basically said to suck it up.

    This has morale pretty low, when it was already terrible even for folks that prefer in-person and live close. Some quit after the announcement. The brain drain is already causing an impact because there’s so much tribal knowledge and teams are silo’d as hell.

    Never seen a company so out of touch or be so openly hostile to their workers. It’s just wild.

    sleepmode ,

    They buy competitors with a good product and put their name on it.

    sleepmode ,

    Ours made everyone come back to work at one office if they live within 60 miles. Datacenter floor is collapsing. Two areas are closed due to vermin being exterminated. Charmed life.

    I get less motion sickness with higher refresh rates. But anything above 120hz makes no tangible difference. I’m more interested in OLED and color accuracy.
