Yeah, I’m fine with touchscreen for infotainment and navigation shit - as long as they give me a physical volume knob. HVAC and lighting and such should all be physical switches/buttons/knobs.

Yeah, and this game is 100% worth the ten bucks they’re asking for. I already own it on Steam (where it cost $20 when I got back at the beginning of the year), and will happily pay another $10 to have it on my phone too.

Your post inspired me to pull my old PS3 Slim off the shelf and give it a shot. Fortunately it is one of the ones capable of custom firmware. I successfully jailbroke it and am now running custom firmware, next I just have to figure out how to do anything useful with it, lol.

I just replaced a drive today that has been running 24/7 for the last 5.18 years. It hadn’t failed yet but was in a predictive failure state due to the amount of bad sectors it has accumulated. 3 other disks in the same giant raid array are showing some bad sectors but not enough to be over the ‘replace me now’ threshold.

The amount of times I’ve seen a ‘the best ’ inorganically shoehorned into articles lately as search engine bait is fucking infuriating.

I think the ones in that lot were sitting there waiting for recall work to be done before they could be delivered to suckers customers.

They charge fast when the battery is fresh and healthy. When the battery health gets shitty the software automatically switches it to slowly trickle charge to preserve it, although you can go into the settings and re-enable the previous fast charging.

My SE is currently at 75% of its original battery capacity. I put it on at 8AM this morning after charging it all night, tracked one workout during the day and it is now almost 10PM and it is at 16% charge and dropping fast.

Schadenfreude intensifies

While Google certainly has a lot of responsibility for how shit their search results have become and the effects they have on website operators, the SEO industry can all go eat a giant bag of dicks for being the driving force behind making search results worthless trash.

Mint still defaults to X. Wayland is only in experimental support on it.

The feasibility of that will be highly variable depending on where you live. Much of America is a public transit desert.

Doctorow’s not wrong.

Stealth layoffs strike again.

The fact that a PC can’t make an HDMI-connected TV wake up and go to sleep out of the box is fucking maddening.

Bravia was Sony’s TV line in recent years.

STOP USING TWITTER, DUMBASS.

I have real time pricing from my utility. It works out well because we charge 2 electric cars overnight for a fraction of what they would cost to charge at the standard fixed kilowatt-hour rate. My house is heated by natural gas; I don’t think the savings would be there if I also was heating my house with electricity as I live in the midwest, where it gets cold as fuck for the winter.

RIP.

Boo fucking hoo, HP.
