@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social I wrote the documentation and fix for Thunderbolt-enabled Lenovo laptops that would die and no longer charge due to logging still being enabled on the Thunderbolt chip and filling/killing the eeprom. This covered several generations of ThinkPads.

I’m still bummed I never had a chance to play with a Jolla Tablet. It looked really nice. @thomholwerda@exquisite.social you taken yours out of the drawer recently given all the Jolla news? #jolla

The rest of the parts arrived today for my newish PC build. Except the motherboard. It's been in town since Friday, but the ol USPS decided to move it to a Monday delivery. They decided this after 5pm today. I am saddened I wasn't able to build my newish PC today. It's been decades since I built a PC. Last time I can remember building one was for BeOS.

It’s been a week but I’ve been really happy with my new PC build. I went with large fans and airflow and I really just never hear it. Counting the GPU and PSU fans, it sits at 10 fans: 6x 140mm, 2x 120mm, and 2x 85mm on the GPU. I think the ONLY thing that I feel like I gotta change is the annoyingly blinding blue LED in the power button. Blue LEDs already annoy me but heck it’s bright. I think I’ll pull it out and put a soft white LED in it that barely glows. I fear it’s gonna be a lot more disassembly than I want to do, though, so I might live with it and put a piece of vellum over it or something. It seriously lights up the wall across from the PC.

@rpmik@avgeek.social @younata@hachyderm.io @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I liked MREs bit we're talking late 80s, early 90s. We had things like a real ham slice and chicken ala king and basic items. Not these crazy things they have now. @rpmik@avgeek.social is right though- that fruit cake was good. I remember it having more the flavor of an orange/cranberry bread. I did like the dehydrated fruit mix and cheese spread as well. A local grocer sells them and once a year I go grab one much to my wife's protests. Maybe I'm just odd.

@flexghost@mastodon.social also, if you had good grades you got a free personal pizza when you showed them your report card.

@malte@anticapitalist.party @Slacker@mastodontech.de because you don't buy a car to tweak the engine until you know how the car works first. Then you learn about the engine. Then you tweak it. Many 'noobs' are mad there isn't a bolt-on upgrade to rice it. i.e. a double-click method and that it takes some learning. At least, this is the experience I've had, and so I just don't bother helping anymore.

@behr@mastodon.social Snow Leopard was peak OSX.

I dunno WTF happened, but in the last few weeks it seems Gmail’s spam filtering just decided to stop working. What is normally a 50 email per week box for me has jumped to over 1000 emails a week. It’s nuts. #gmail #enshittification

I haven’t had time to mow in over a month. Each opportunity I’ve had also lined up with right after a thunderstorm. Grass is currently soaked from overnight storms. I bet it’s happy out there. Too hot to go outside right now and the moisture is making it too humid. Bleh.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org several times a year for me

@root42@chaos.social I know, but I already lack time for my hobbies. Gotta wait until these dang babies stop being so dependant on me for life.

@jorge@hachyderm.io been using Graduation for quite a while and love it. It's pretty much one of the first things that's installed on a fresh install

@CursedSilicon@social.treehouse.systems wow, whomever you were typing at in that thread was seeing the very surface level shit. Talk about not taking away anything.

@the_blackwell_ninja let's also point out that not a single one of those people has provided a service that has benefitted a single one of those workers. Everything they've "created" can go away right now and the world would be a better place.

@spacerog@mastodon.social I tell everyone to read it. 🫡

@CiaraNi@mastodon.green @futzle@old.mermaid.town what is "being sealioned"? I have never seen nor heard that term before.

@mtrnord@gts.mtrnord.blog @Linux_in_a_Bit@infosec.exchange no, I get that. It's like yelling into the void. You had said a few hours in your comment. A day or so, I can see the frustration. For me, it's not so much time, but how so many use Discord these days as a support channel. No history to even search, really.

@mtrnord@gts.mtrnord.blog @Linux_in_a_Bit@infosec.exchange as frustrating as that is, it helps to remember people that do help are global and probably not in your time zone.

@coreforge@furry.engineer Looks like someone reads the technical docs and pinout diagrams!

@vform@openbiblio.social Id like to add #droidian to the list, as I have enjoyed it. Runs on my ThinkPhone when others have not. #droidianprojecthttps://droidian.org/

@anime_reference@wetdry.world don't forget, some are +/-RW and go both ways.

@greg@icosahedron.website @sheepfilms@mastodon.social but my 3d printer needed the file

@razze@osna.social @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social I agree. This bit felt it'd be better served by notsomuch an ordering list but one of those sliders/drop downs with: Not important Somewhat important Important Very important Critically important Also, I enjoyed the Cryptpad interface.

@JoeRess@fosstodon.org I enjoyed my og Motorola droid, as it had a dpad in its slide out keyboard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid

@thorsheim@mastodon.social honestly, tell them you do, and good luck with them finding a vendor that doesn't. No services will shut it down and make it easy. Let the trash take itself out of the country.

@pulkomandy@mastodon.tetaneutral.net I'm sad as I sold all my Game Gear stuff a decade or so ago and nowadays all these repair kits are around. I miss that thing. #gamegear

@antoinnesterk@cyberplace.social Horton hears this photo.

@Codebender_Cate@infosec.exchange I feel this cuz I've been doing the same with my 80 TB of files (5 separate 16tb disks) and it is so slow going. It's been months.

@jonny@neuromatch.social A monkey hitting random keys on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time will eventually write the complete works of William Shakespeare.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social tether through your cell phone?

@darrenverhage @elementary goes anywhere my laptop does, so it must have!

@bimmer@beige.party this is exactly why I purchased an 8bitdo controller

@Willow@social.translunar.academy I use the Fossify suite of apps and enjoy them. They make a messages app as well as a lot of other Google/Android replacement apps. https://www.fossify.org/

@DrHyde@fosstodon.org same and agreed

@joeress@mastodon.social I went back to lycos until they changed it last year. I have been using Ecosia with decent success.

@popey@mastodon.social forgot to add I think we were both on the very wrong side of the world for that last one

@treibholz@mastodon.online I always wanted one, but have been waiting for full Linux support. Qualcomm just never helped out like they said they would.

@neauoire@merveilles.town the metadata is exactly what allowed me to write BeBay (for tracking your eBay auctions, of course) back in my BeOS days.

@Gmatom I do vividly remember that image when I launched it on my Tandy to create the images for my Bard’s Tale Kit adventures I’d make.

@faraiwe @Catvalente you mean single-use sockets

@CursedSilicon@social.treehouse.systems 💯

Watching people restore the old Sega Game Gear on YouTube makes me miss my old Game Gear. #sega #SegaGameGear #retrogaming
