Looking at my 300ms ping with 1500ms jitter…

(Yes, I counted the zeros)

I’m not a car guy, but boy would I like me some low tech cars. Mainly due to ease of repairability. Fuck software. Fuck electronics.

3D printed items are unsuitable for food purposes, doesn’t matter with which end you’ll eat them. The layer lines aren’t perfectly sealed so they are very porous, allowing all kinds of nasties to grow in them.

With ABS you might be able to fix it with an acetone bath to re-melt the top layer, but I haven’t checked.

Help a fellow understand

How to keep a lot of plants at home alive: only buy the Aloe™ plants. I don’t know if it’s even possible to kill the ones I have without straight out drowning them. Forgot to water one of them for half a year and it started blooming instead of dying out. Now it gets watered only when I remember to water it.

Firefox generates random passwords for you by default. You have to disable it in the settings if you want to use another password manager besides Firefox’s built in one.

If it can be installed on arch, it can be installed on steam OS. You just have to jailbreak it beforehand, as I said in the previous comment.

Can’t be worse than trying to fix dependencies for maven on any platform

I installed some games from GOG on the steam deck. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to make them show up in steam library. For software that requires modifying the system, you’ll have to jailbreak the steam os. It’s quite straight forward and irc it took me about 30min to enable sudo and install ydotool for autoclicker.

Depends. For performance? Not really. For sound? Definitely. Unless you go for one of those passive air cooled PC cases (15+ kg of aluminum and no fans), you won’t get anything that is quieter than a liquid cooler with a 360mm rad. With a custom loop and a GPU water block you can get your PC to essentially silent.

Mah lips be hurting from the big chill

They are fighting not only the symptoms, but also the root cause

New drives are more like 20€ per TB. Factor in redundancy with something like raid 5 and boom, off-site storage costs you a government toppling 20 000€ in hard drives.

I’m sorry for your loss

I don’t go to the office often, but when I do, I usually walk. The distance is 4km and it takes me 40mins. It’s not like I walk often, most days I get less than 2k steps, but I do walk fast.

It is up to you (unless the infrastructure is an ass) to make it there in 40mins or 2 hours

One thing to note is that the ANC shuts down during charging (so does Bluetooth) but you can still use the wired connection.

The /e/OS version of Fairphone 6 is still almost 50% cheaper, while providing slightly higher IP rating, 3 years longer warranty, schematics for board repair and a guarantee of 8 years of software updates. In addition to that, the phone is built ethically.

Murena phone has a faster GPU (2x) and up to 36% faster CPU, but only 2 years of warranty and 5 years of spare parts. Fairphone still has spare displays on sale for Fairphone 2, which came out a decade ago.

Hiroh phone also has a “sustainability” field in the specs, which is nice and empty

Fairphone doesn’t have any bloatware either (besides base google apps), yet their phones aren’t priced 1k+

Either that, or more realistically, the output of the company tanks during the summer. It’s ok because everyone expects most people to be on vacation during the summer time and everyone will just work around it.

Aaaand one of them is stuck in your skin
