37·4 days agosounds like quite a pain to google/apple, I think they should just ban them until they change their minds
2·4 days agoshiii, two of us, we’re getting a whole pie… 1.25 a slice and we get leftovers.
Mine doesn’t even have beer. Still worth it.
Honey, break out the arc net adapters. It’s going to be a long night.
Getting the machine running was cake, getting online through dialup after that was the real pain :)
Mobile device flashing is a fucking alien world. Samsung products are not good for it, especially in the US.
The alt OS’s are mainly built against ancient hardware, and the SKUs that work are so limited that they’re not particularly cheap on the used market.
The best thing you can do is go fairphone or pixel and specifically get one of the models that is directly claimed as supported.
If you can’t get it to work, find the OS forums and hop in, someone will bend over backward to help you out if you’re nice about it.
Ehh, big bucks and job security can be quite an afridesiac. Just have to make sure to stay clean and presentable, and share some leisure activities that your potential mates will enjoy.
I just did a 2012 mac book air, well ‘just’ was probably 2023… but i digress
Ubuntu went straight on, just works, runs quickly. I’d have done debian which is more my go to, but I wanted to get the maximum level of community support and I think ubuntu has that.
basic instructions:

There were a couple of fights:
I wanted to swap the function and alt buttons to match my linux pc’s, which was a special problem, because the FN key has its own special controller. There’s a page and a utility for it somewhere on the internet that lets you reprogram it. I doubt you’d want that though, since you’re already used to the layout.
The runtime on battery was awful, but it was a 4GB ancient Air. Out of the gate, I got a max of 2 hours, and OSX was getting 6-8 hours.
I installed TLP, twisted the governors WAY down, got it up to 4 hours while still usable. It still runs better in 4GB than OSX, just not as long.
Honestly, the Mac hardware is kinda rough for Linux. I run it on Lenovos and Dells and get 90+% of their normal battery life.
But it does work on Mac and runs quite well, even with very little RAM. I will say, you still need to throttle down that processor or they get a bit toasty :)
Your average company is woefully prepared to deal with ewaste. If you sell it, there are legal and financial ramifications. Assuming you could make at most a couple hundred on a box, the labor to take it someplace, deal with finance, deal with legal, deal with returns for anything that goes doa in the move. The best you can do is sell or give it to a wholesaler who will give you near nothing for it to shoulder the risk.
Whenever possible, I release old hardware to end users. Refresh it, let them give it to their kids/family/whatever.
If not for the banks investing hevily into it, i’d not be all that worried.
Every company in that list could shrink by half and we’d all be at worst back to covid times. Sure unemployment would suck, but do we REALLY need microsoft and NVidia to be as huge as they are?

Outlaw Star had magic and magic bullets.
And a rather unfortunate navigation system
The problem isn’t actually not being able to invest, it’s not being able to meaningfully invest.
If you have $10, you can throw away. $10 doesn’t mean that much to you. So let’s say you sock it away into a decent stock. Let’s get edgy. Let’s pick something that’s going to double in a year. A year goes by, you have $20. Now you can really afford that carton of eggs.
Investing at poultry levels doesn’t mean anything to you because it’s not enough money to do anything with. You generally need to be socking away 10-30% of your income to get anywhere significant enough to retire.
The argument that you can invest because you can afford to spend $10 is as useless as investing $10.
We’ll kick piracy into high gear.
Then they’ll make any ISPs suspecting people of piracy to be forcibly shut off.
The real question is what will we do then?
While I appreciate the pep talk, I truly think your heart is in the right place. You just claim that my artwork is better without having any view of my artwork or knowledge of my skill.
This is a very common thing that people do. You can’t conceive that someone can’t do something, so you blame them on their persistence, or their ID or their ego. I don’t know what your skills are, but it feels an awful lot like projection.
It’s not like I’m useless at art, I can sculpt 3D objects from 3D objects. I can even, with limited success, use Zbrush.
It was a good read until he started with the art is a skill and anyone can do it. He’s kind of in his bubble there making assumptions about people. People have various levels of aphantasia, it’s not binary. Those that are good at visual imagination do art, people without can’t draw a fucking apple from memory reasonable art is beyond many, even if they had the time to dedicate to it.
Everything else he said was on point. well eventually on point, that was a long ride.
Edit: Man, look at all these talented people telling me I could be talented too if I just tried. Some of you might find a shocking revelation in thevfact that not everyone has the ability to perform the skill you perform. Some people, like me, have put several thousand hours into trying to improve my ability to draw, and while it has improved slightly, I am still not capable of drying anything above rudimentary. Talented people find it easy to project their skill onto other people but that’s not how it works. It’s not just a feeling that you can’t do it, it’s trying for years and not being able to do anything appreciable with it. My seven-year-old had more skill out of the gate than I had after scoring around with it for 30 years. So keep on telling me that I could just do it if I’d just invest the time and make yourself feel better that you invest at the time. That’s truly helpful to me.
It’s not about stopping malware; it’s about being able to act on malware.
Making a new account with a new phone number and new credit card is a minor barrier to entry.
That said, it’s a cool story, but I think they’re looking to stop vanced style patching.
01·18 days agoTell me, if it’s harder to publish and it’s impossible to monetize, what are you going to be viewing?
For consumers absolutely. For creators trying to make a living no so much.
TBF, if they’re going to lock you in a burning car unable to exit, killing you with the dashboard or sterring column would be a mercy killing compared to burning to death inside.
replace the airbag with a letal injection perhaps?
