Definitely take care of yourself and best wishes.

Instead of calling it “Minecraft” we’d have to call it “Generic Danish children’s pixelated building block software”

Lego, or as the BBC has to refer to it: “Generic Danish interlocking children’s building set.”

It varies widely in my state. Until I moved, I couldn’t get anything above 768k DSL, spotty 3 Mbps 4G, or 25 Mbps highly-capped satellite (this was pre-Starlink). I tried all 3 but ended up using a 3G and eventually 4G hotspot until 2019 and managed a few Mbps on average.

I had Optimum (fiber to the node) from 2020 through 2023 and paid for 400/40 and generally got that in practice (even upload). In 2023 I switched to 1 Gbps symmetrical fiber to the home and it’s been everything I’ve always wanted. I think I can get up to 5 Gbps now if I want it, but honestly, I rarely saturate my current one. And it costs about $10 more than I was paying for 400/40.

A good related question for this post would be how reliable is your home internet, and is your provider “Frontier”? lol.

I just keep supporting open source and following the forks as needed. Otherwise, I’m self-hosting what I can and going lo-fi where I can’t.

Also: [email protected] for all your “ranting about how modern tech sucks” needs.

I used to try to go back to sleep but I always seem to be in a REM cycle when my alarm goes off so I end up waking up even more tired, so lately I’ve just been getting up and finding something to do.

I have similar Flex time but I generally try to start at 8 because I prefer to have the extra free time in the evenings.

I just do a spritz onto a tack cloth

I pretty much use this stuff on everything. Spray it on the cloth, though, not the screen.

For the ports, I just use compressed air.

Yes, please!

The Titan 2 Elite looks awesome though it appears to be just a render right now. I was looking at the original Titan a while back but it was pretty dated even then. Gonna keep an eye out for the Elite.

The phone will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, have 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage. There is no word on the display or the battery, but going by the previous release, it should be an AMOLED screen, and the battery should be 5,000mAh. Neither is there any word about the release timeline, pricing, or other features of the device right now. The sole official render of the phone suggests a sleeker-looking body, erringly similar to the Clicks Communicator.

Yeah, man, you’ll get, like, totally faded.

It’s technically correct when referring to what body the ship itself is orbiting though weirdly worded I’ll admit. Humans have not orbited another body besides earth since Apollo 17 in 1972. Though I don’t think this mission will actually orbit the moon in the traditional sense and is more of a manned flyby. Still, they’ll be captured into lunar orbit even if they’re effectively going to turn around and go home right after by not completing orbital insertion.

How did I not know this was happening? God, it’s like the few bits of good/cool news we get is all buried under the horror and rage.

Are the headlines wildly different on a regional basis, or are you just doing your own thing with them?

Why do you do this? The drive-by spam/flurry of posts and account nukes? It’s beyond old. Please stop.

This is gonna be like how Putin stole a Superbowl ring isn’t it?

Copy/pasting a comment I wrote the other day on a post about OneDrive stealing and deleting your files:

I knew back when Windows 10 came out and the lead of their cloud division replaced Ballmer that Windows was gonna turn into a shit show, but in my wildest nightmares I wouldn’t have predicted what they’re doing now.

🥂 To coping

Nice catch. That’s a bit outside my knowledge since I just use the x86 build on a dual-NIC mini PC.
