“What do you have to say to your advertisers?”

‘go fuck yourselves’

‘also we’re raising prices for an unrelated reason’

I never made a claim that Lemmy was even remotely comparable to reddit in size. Just stating that reddit users fled to here, when reddit made staggering changes affecting many.

There was also DIGG. There were several large aggregators, but they all made changes that lead to mass exoduses to reddit. Back in the day there were sites like SomethingAwful, EBaumsWorld that served up memes and entertainment before we had purpose-built aggregation tools. Eventually reddit will make way for something else (and already has to some degree with its shedding of users to Lemmy).

Yes yes yes yes yes

Raid1 that thing and sleep easier. Good on you for having a cold spare, and knowing to buy your drives at different locations/times to get different batches. Your head is in the right place! No reason to leave that data unprotected if you have the underlying tech and hardware.

What, you don’t want to have to click more for the same thing? But the UI designer’s feels will get hurt!

I want to go back to the days of shitty UI’s made by engineers that, despite looking like ass, NEVER broke and ALWAYS worked.

We have this requirement called truth in advertising, but it doesn’t seem to apply to billionaires.

If you don’t like videos, don’t watch videos.

How about letting those of us who enjoy video content, to continue to enjoy video content.

This shouldn’t be a “I don’t like it, so no one else should get it” situation. That’s some selfish bullshit.

If they don’t included tracking, recording, spying, and advertising, they’re premium at this point.

Here’s a comprehensive and up to date list of failed deliveries, so far.

It was active for about 3 months, until she broke the screen. I replaced her device and put the phone on the shelf. I replaced the screen and digitizer a year later when I needed a spare handset and they told me “it had never been on network” and was ineligible for being unlocked. Which is bullshit because the phone was bought and paid for at the time I purchased it in a box at the store with a prepaid card. As far as I’m concerned, straight talk still owes me 200$. Even if the phone was NEVER activated, I still own it outright, making it mine to do with what I please.

Not always true, I bought a smart talk phone for my kid and the phone was paid in full at the time of purchase. It’s still carrier locked 5 years later because they say “it wasn’t in service for x amount of time and therefore isn’t eligible”. I even reported this to the FCC, opened a case, and they did fuckall and closed the report.

Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It’s fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL VODKA STILLS

This brings them to about mid 90’s tech… They’ll be able to make microwave ovens, tamagotchis, and a counterfeit N64 that runs a game called “Mushroom Plumber 3D”

This was when BTC was like 5 cents and no one had learned this lesson yet.

Still looking for that backup of that disk with my bitcoin wallet from the early days… sadly probably gone forever.

Oh, things are way better now than they were back then. I’d still confirm via documentation that the interfaces are compatible :)

I was a poor college student and had access to engineering samples from a local manufacturer. Discarded parts gave me twin 15" LCDs for free in the mid 00’s. Also, to see if I could. It was a fun challenge. These are different revs of a controller that were outfitted in several slot machine prototypes. They gave me many years of service. I probably still have inkjet prints of the pinout and signal diagrams, somewhere.

I have rematched controllers to displays in the past. It’s neither simple nor easy. You’ll need to dig through spec sheets to ensure you’re sending the correct signals over the correct pinouts, at the correct frequencies and voltages. Be prepared to read some IO documentation for the sending and receiving chipsts, then verify pinouts with certainty. They are not always standard.

Here are 2 identical LCDs, with 2 very similar, nearly identical looking controllers. Note that one needed to be re-wired. It is not fun butt-connecting 2 dozen 28ga wires.
