I was always more of a fan of the Pennsylvania Railtoad than the competing New Youk Central.

It knows and demands blood.

This will go great with the “i eat solder” shirt Mastodon bullied influenced me into buying.

Fedi people have the best taste in clothing.

Many things still fall back to VGA, like old projectors.

I figured SDF were the sort of people who would consider uptime a badge of honour.

I should probably be on Hexbear but I didn’t know of its existence at the time. Very problematic, my Xibuck direct deposits keep bouncing.

All the best firms continvoucly morg these days.

I’m pretty sure it’s actually those shoulder pads.

xbps-install -Su usually when a regular xbps-install <package> fails due to cert issues every few months

I hate that Qt6 dropped the Motif theme. You can get a Kvantum theme that’s vaguely close, but it’s different enough that you can tell the difference (the old one had deeper bevels) and I tend to prioritize Qt5 if I can use it.

I have a 7900X3D and the Peerless Assassin 120 worked well. I swapped for a Zalman CNPS20X because you could get it for next to nothing at the time; it’s not much better (the RGB fans look neat but it’s so big it doesn’t fit well in some cases and the fans are prone to chattering noises at specific speeds)

The benefit I can imagine for an AIO is that it reduces cramping around the CPU, so you can essily release RAM or the GPU slot clip. But I suspect VRM cooling suffers; some vendors made an add-on fan to compensare IIRC.

There’s a public museum in Southern Arizona with this type of missile.

It was part of an arms-reduction treaty with the USSR. Both sides had to leave missiles out for satellites to confirm that they had been deactivated and could preserve a facility as a museum.

Deepseek was not trained on the Looney Tunes corpus ;.;

Giant isopods. Thry’re the big, ocean dwelling version of the little segmented crustaceans you find under rotten wood who ball up for defence.

Floats for currency in a payments platform.

The system will happily take a transaction for $121.765, and every so often there’s a dispute because one report ran it through round() and another through floor().

He’s so cute! He can monitor me any day!

Make something unmarketsble.

My big hobby project was software for 30-year-old computers, not a big market.

Carry slot limits annoy me more.

Weight makes sense from a story perspective. Even a top-spec fighter can’t carry four zweihanders and 500 food rations.

But even the 1-STR mage who might have a legitimate carry weight limit of 2kg, should not be told “you can only carry 3 different types of 10-gram herb.” Especially if he’s allowed to carry 200 units of any one of the types. Give me anything resembling a viable story-based reason for that.

But selling a solution to that is a very popular monetization paradigm for MMOs, so it stays.

Invite your friends for “bonus” resources, or even worse, to unlock progression.

If you want to incentivize me to growthhack your product, let’s talk dollars, not Mystic Sunshine Gems.

On a high level, you can get a cleaner like Deoxit D5 in a spray bottle. Most pots have a slit in them so you can spray into them, then turn the pot through its range a bunch of times. It’s worth a try as a start. Obviously do it while the unit is unplugged.

If you want to consider a more aggressive rebuild, like a capacitor replacement, maybe find a cheap old amplifier at the thrift shop to use as practice for desoldering/resoldering.

You might be able to connect the BT to one input on the amp, like the tape input, and the CD to another.

It can’t be a real “as seen on TV” product because they didn’t use the phrase “in the palm of your hand”.

One day they’ll need to sell a larger product and be forced to hire actors with freakishly gigantic hands.

Some mainboards have very few PCI-e slots.

I ended up with a similar adapter because the onboard SATA on my board was flaky with optical drives and I rip CDs.
