I worked there less long ago and they were still bad, and indeed worse now. Some of the lifers are still there and still nice people, but man can you ever tell by looking how miserable they have been.

I do want trudeau to fuck off but I also want pp to fuck off. They both seem equally full of shit, disingenuous, punchable face, etc.

do any of the folding screens have reliable hinges that can be expected to last more than a year used by a regular person?

I couldn’t just because I need to have a case and screen protector before I can bring myself to even open the box the device comes in and I can’t imagine how those would be meaningfully possible for a folder.

Puzzling choice to have a one letter difference to an also minecraft related project, more so given the stuff with the other dev being a poop.

Oh yeah wireless dongles can be annoying. I had a stack of intel combined wifi/bt laptop chips mooched from an old job that I had been subbing in on family computers because they just work and motherboards with built in wifi use the same ones usually. I did that thing again where I resolved the problem for myself then forgot it existed for others.

if it’s not already an option in the power settings, it should be feasible to adapt any linux laptop guide on how to do this. Look in to TLP. There may be easier options or graphical frontends too.

driver for what? I put all my old people on bazzite so I’m not maintaining 3 versions of windows and several linux distros and so far everything works except one printer I had to install the driver via rpm-ostree.

that sounds actually excellent. I got a sack of potatoes and a deep fryer, would a pre made bottled sauce be worthy or should I just look up a recipe and do it the real way?

damn I’ve been making a new email when it gets too spammy and keep a list of accounts for changing all my accounts over

I figured as much. These are things that were given to me as an “otherwise it goes in the landfill” package deal. a couple have klipper over dietpi for my 3d printers but the rest are seemigly junk and I’ll probbaly toss them in the electronics section at the recycle depot next time I go there

yeah I think I have an orange, a mango, a nanopi, and a couple entirely written in chinese that are different from each other. Just before reddit went senile I was planning on posting images to try to ID the unknown ones but I didn’t and got busy with stuff less likely to be a dead end.

Can anyone confirm if it is indeed the case that you can’t just put whatever os you want on these things, or if it is possible by jumping through some hoops that google would never show me in favour of showing me other shit that makes them more money?

but how do I run it on confusingly named chinese sbc’s for which the only os images that seem to exist are an untrustworthy debian based system and an old version of android?

oh no, I changed world lines again, didn’t I?

Don’t forget cutting oil for tapping. In a pinch any oil or thin grease will work. I think that screw position was pretty short depth, but if you seize and snap a tap in the extrusion it will be a shit time even got a shallow home. I wanted to put the picture of a tap snapped flush with one of the end holes but I guess it was on my old phone. I got it out with a screw extractor but it was really hard to drill the pilot hole, and didn’t seem like it would work at first.

IIRC I’m 5 years older on steam than reality because of this. From my family’s first computer onward, I am the parental controls.

which I will never use. It sounded like everything I don’t want the first time and it doesnt sound any better now.

it usually seems more like whatever distro doing things however they want rather than following any standard

I’m more used to seeing shit like: c:/users/username/appdata/local/developer/game/engine/data3/saves/profile0/epe90_cats90-slot203.nonstandardfileformat

I have that exact one and I agree with this. Makes using any other usb setup so much better and noy feel like you will shear off the plug by just using motion control or something.

hah it just gets worse with every word
