I also did this while trying to turn the volume up with the phone in my pocket years ago

Bleh.

This is awful.

Second ABB

It’s great for most of the stuff I read

I’ve told the wife I can’t watch these shows because of how bad the tech always is, and I can’t stop myself from losing suspension of disbelief when something like this happens

As a teen in the 2010s, my first GPU was an Nvidia 680m in a Sager (Clevo) laptop.

That thing could power through just about anything I’d throw at it. Good times.

Lucky you lmao

I still see them once every so often

In fact, I went onsite to a customer who wanted a new PC set up because the old one “wouldn’t boot”. Sure enough the cable was sticking out of the monitor at about a 15deg angle. I pushed the VGA cable in a bit extra hard and it came right back.

I was out of there in about 30min.

In fairness, I still play 5e

I haven’t given WotC a dime since that fiasco, though.

The last thing I bought from them directly was the R20 integrated Out of the Abyss digital campaign for me to DM with some friends.

We got halfway and it was kinda mid. I tossed a big ass boss fight at them along with the mid-game boss and it felt final enough.

Once it releases in full, we’ll be a Cosmere RPG group for a good while.

Ask WoTC how they feel about sending thugs to people’s doors

Denver to St Louis through KS and MI is up there

Doesn’t help that getting from West to East on i70 through Kansas City is a nightmare after driving that long.

Spoiler: i70 doesn’t just run through the city like one would think.

Nothing in the right quantity, I use it in my own cooking when I need more umami in a dish.

There are old studies out there that said it was a problem ingredient (hence “no MSG” labels all over different foods), but those have been largely debunked due to racial bias.

In excess, the MSG flavor tends to linger, which can be annoying sometimes.

Mmm MSG fries

(Don’t get me wrong I like them too but let’s be honest here, they almost have as much MSG as KFC fries)

Valid, I’m just not a fan of them personally

Too bad fresca uses artificial sweeteners

I used to like the old fresca, too

“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”

Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.

I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.

As a furry

The Heritage Foundation can get absolutely fucked.

Nintendo is just on their own planet when it comes to… Basically everything, including game pricing.

Then buy a physical copy and store backups on a media server.

That or buy the media on a digital service and rip the file or screen capture it out.

Even buying a physical copy only entitles you to “ownership of a license” nowadays anyway. Ie: how Nintendo gets away with all their bs surrounding emulation.

Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.

The customer is only right if they threaten to cancel their service

Even then, if the cost of improving service is more than one customer’s cancellation, the customer can kick rocks

I’m just waiting for a good 2-in-1 Linux solution to come around. I don’t have the programming chops to try and make something myself.

I’d love to have something like Gboard (maybe de-googled) that completely deactivates when in laptop-mode.

I don’t even mind if it’s Xorg or Wayland at this point.
