I’m sorry, I missed this. Reputable link please?

I don’t need more reasons to boycott Ubi, but more gas for the fire.

Waited all summer for the Mexican place in Gardiner to open when I worked in Yellowstone. Gardiner is on the border with the park.

Anyway, myself and two friends, all of us from Texas, were very vocally disappointment. It was so bad. The pizza place was great though.

We have 8 animals and alcoholic relative living with us.

We went to the local library, I had ear buds and my laptop as was content to do my thing (cyber security stuff, all legal) and my wife was busy talking to the person running the 3D printer because she can’t seem to dial hers in settings wise.

The quiet, the lack of stress, the ability to just focus on something without dealing with an issue for a while…

It was fine until the relative… well, thats another story. They all end like that lately.

I was in grade school. Doing an experiment where we sliced off a section of fruit to put under a microscope.

My dumb ass, with a plastic butter knife, managed to get the worst cut my thumb has ever seen.

That thing was rough and ragged, and got infected and was a bitch to heal.

Just saying, with enough stupidity, you can really harm yourself with harmless objects, lol.

Pretty sure checking a post on their site, say for a BG3 build idea, doesn’t constitute abuse.

The powers that be sacrificed their only value, their user base, to make money quick. We’ll see how it plays out long term, but I’ve moved away from social media. My lemmy use is only on my desktop at this point, and I get precious little time at it, so most of it isn’t spent on lemmy.

In my state, with my employer, yes absolutely NSFW.

I don’t agree, just saying what the GOP leaning corpos are making rules of.

I mean, I was walking home from school on my usual route, but didn’t really know this little stretch of suburbia and an older kid (a couple years older than I was) offered to smoke me out.

I passed because I was in middle school and this was a stranger.

Dude seemed really disappointed. I think he just wanted to smoke and chill with somebody, anybody.

Never saw them again.

This, but also if you talk constantly, to yourselves and animals, don’t get mad when people tune out the incessant chatter.

Looking at my SO on this one.

Restaurants absolutely shouldn’t.

However, people suck and it happens, probably more often than you would want.

I seem to recall an interaction between Bats, Superman, and WW.

All lassoed with the lasso of truth and stating their real identities.

Two give their real birth names, and Bats just identifies as batman, revealing that Bruce is absolutely his alter ego, billionaire mask he wears in public.

I’ve got the hardware to use VR on my gaming rig.

But between the entry cost for the actual VR equipment, and the sheer lack of games that look interesting I don’t see the point in it.

Then again, the lack of games that look interesting isn’t just a VR problem - to me at least.

Repeating patterns of slight upgrades to visuals, mechanics I grew bored of a decade ago, etc.

I used to rip on Madden/FIFA/Sports games in general for that crap, but it seems to be the trend.

That being said, I’ve felt jaded about games since I was a teen, and that was a long time ago, but there was always something to keep my attention.

Don’t really have any other majornhobbies though, so I’m at a bit of an impasse on that subject. I do spend more time with my wife though, lol.

Performance isn’t key. But I like performance, lol. I also wasn’t aware of their more recent practices. So thank you.

I’ll have to check out the HP mini. As I said, just barely scratched the surface on researching this, and its more of a thought than a project at the moment, lol.

I just can’t afford (and cool) enterprise level stuff at home. It was free (to me) so no big loss other than buying a better CPU used ~50 bucks. I’ve spent more on worse ideas lol.

Cost and a personal bias, also I’ve seen more helpful communities amongst Linux and FOSS advocates than trying to deal with a big brand.

I’ve done a lot of IT stuff in my life, even before working in IT.

I’ve seen too many issues from big brands, and its usually caused by the company.

I have a Pi 2 from way back. I’ve thrown so many distros at that thing over time, and without fail I don’t run into any problems I didn’t personally create while learning or through human error.

I understand all too well that those big brands have support for businesses, warranties, etc. It makes them cost effective long term for business. At a personal level I just don’t see the benefits outweighing the negatives.

Again, personal bias. Same core reason I avoid apple products, bias, though I mainly dislike apples cost combined with their closed off, well, everything.

I’ve got enterprise level hardware, rack moubtable all that jazz.

Between the cost of power, and the heat it generates (which uses more AC and thus power) its not feasible to run it.

I’m looking into clustering some raspberry pis for a more power (and heat) efficient hardware as my next project. Barely scratched the surface of research though.

So hey, if anyone has any tips or links, it would be much appreciated.

Personally I prefer simple connectors, but I’ve been making cables for 20+ years.

I understand OPs frustration though.

Then again, I’m the type to put in my own drops at home, and include a service loop so I can repunch/crimp whatever I need to without yanking the cable from upstairs to down lol.
