9.5 years is ancient in smart home devices.
Note to self. Don’t buy smart devices. 9.5 years is like a sneeze to me. I still have a Nintendo NES from the late 1980s still in working order. I mean, I modded the video out, and replaced the pin connector. But it works.
I’m very confused. How are your pronouns both he and she? I’m not even sure what that would mean.
God damn. I was just about to invite you to the fuck cars community. In doing so, I needed the like with the !.
In trying to find it on the sidebar, I see you’ve found that community. As a mod.
Which means the whole basis for my comment is void before I even typed it!
On a similiar note…can you put the ! link in the sidebar?
Yeah…wait until you hear of the horrors russian soldiers did in the early days of the war.
I won’t elaborate, because it’s too disturbing. I wish I didn’t know, and won’t subject you to that same knowledge.
I’m not going to, but my immediate instinct is to make a new post titled “Mars” and the body would say “It’s red”
I hope linked it right.
Welp…
Back in 1997 there was a storyline in WWF with a professional wrestler named Bret Hart.
Bret is a Canadian. And the storyline was that he was a bad guy in the USA, because he bad mouthed USAs healthcare, and treatment of veterans.
He was a good guy everywhere in the world EXCEPT the USA.
He said things like “Back home in Canada, we still act like decent people. Where we take care of the sick, and the elderly. We honor our veterans who served our country. Not like here where you dump them in the streets and spit on them as they suffer. I can’t wait to get back to Canada. A real country to be proud of. Not this fascade of an image that your country tries to project. All men are created equal, huh? Kind of hard to take that seriously, when the quotes author was a slave holder.”
Yeah. Professional wrestling was WILD in the late 90s. But I bet you thought it was just muscle roided beefy boys beating their chests and shaking the ropes, huh?
My point is, we’ve NEVER taken care of our own people. Even a professional wrestler 30 years ago could see that.
Hell, why is sleep so hard for most humans?
Part of me is convinced this a joke for one guy, switching between two accounts, just laughing to himself. Like it’s some kind of inside joke. And by “inside” I mean “inside his own head”.
kicks you in the balls
Yes.
Want to be friends, but then never talk? Like ever?
My first computer was 33htz. Ran Windows 3.1. And Warcraft 2.
So yeah. The perfect computer.
Man. I have no use for this. I know where I go. I go to work. And then the gym. Almost every day. Because I work a lot.
It’s like my boss always says…“BACK TO WORK, DICKHEAD!”
All I get is an error when clicking those links.
Yikes. I’m over here still struggling to remember “sudo apt-do get install (program)(version)”.
Flatpak, I love you. You click the thing, and you get the thing, and the thing just works.
I hate you, terminal.
I’m so confused by this noncomment.
You commented, and deleted the comment within 13 minutes, and removed your own self-upvote.
What could you have POSSIBLY said that didn’t age well 13 minutes later to make you say “I don’t stand by that comment anymore…”
Go buy like 5 USB sticks. You can turn 4 of them into distros that retain information. That is to say if you boot from that usb stick, and install a program that program would still be there if you reboot the PC. Normally it all reverts to default if you power down, but theres a way to make changes permanent. But you need 2 sticks. Which is why only 4 of your usb sticks will become distros, instead of all 5.
Now you can try out 4 different distros. I reccomend ZorinOS, but I can’t say anything bad about Mint.
Me personally, I hate Ubuntu. But thats the thing about Linux. My taste may not be your taste, and you can tell me to go fuck myself.
Zorin just seems like they at least TRY to make your life Terminal free. I recommend ArcMenu, and Dash to Panel.
I wish I could make a copy of all my tweaks, except as a “fresh install”, and give it to you. I have mine set up as basically “windows XP but modern”.
I love flatpak. The problem is how fractured Linux’s installation system is. As the end user, I don’t give a fuck where it came from and where it is installed. I just want it to work, and be available.
That’s part of the problem. Everything is all over the place.
I’m sure this is a witty remark, but I’m just out of the loop here. I know Arch is a distro, but I don’t know the culture enough to “get” the joke.
You’re like 5 years too late on that for me. I bought a mouse in 2019. And in 2020 the mouse died. Wouldn’t even turn on. Wouldn’t charge. Dead.
I call up logitech, and ask what my options are. Basically my options are “fuck you”. Couldn’t even send it in for repair at all.
Compare this to 2005. I had a mouse in those days I paid $200 for. Which in those days was quite a bit. My then girlfriend broke my mouse. So I called logitech to ask how much it cost to fix. I had the mouse about 2-3 years at that point. So I knew it wasn’t under warrenty, but I figure maybe repair is cheaper than buying a new one.
Guy on the phone says “Nah, I’ll just ship you one”. And I was confused. I asked “Oh. How much is that?” And he says “Don’t even worry about it. Lets just send you a replacement.”
Week later I had a free replacement on my doorstep. Instant recurring customer.
But now? Between deminishing product quality, disappearing customer service, and enshitified policies, I no longer feel like I’m a logictech customer for the past 5 years. This after being a huge cheerleader of theirs since the early 2000s. Maybe late 90s.
These companies do not seem to get that the easiest way to generate consistant revenue is with repeat business. I’m no longer a logitech customer, but I still have a lot of logitech products. Whenever they die, they’ll be replaced with something else.
