@BeardedGingerWonder @BOFH666 always worth googling around for the Service Manual rather than User Manual for those things. And YouTube. Probably find the correct order in which to take it apart without too many curses.

@4am @BOFH666 would it know if you filled the rinse aid reservoir with water?

@p03locke @shalafi i have a primary email that uses a TLD released in 2014. I use it for any mails that aren’t e.g. government or financial. The number of systems/servers/transports that haven’t been updated to accept it is quite an annoyance.
I avoid email anyway.

@ivanafterall @ramble81 IRC with emoticons

@stetech Thanks for the nudge. This is the one https://timsh.org/tracking-myself-down-through-in-app-ads/

@stetech @Xraygoggles there was a good article i read a couple of weeks ago about a guy who fired up a factory reset iPhone, opted out of all the crap but logged all connections it made (on his router). remind me tomorrow and i’ll try and dig it out. i reckon you’d like it

@Nevermore9197 @sunzu2 back to #IRC

@echodot @Redex68 off top of my head, script generation. making content more readable. dictating a brain dump while walking and having it spit out a cohesive summary.

it’s all about the prompt you put in. shit in/shit out. And making sure you check/understand what it spits out. and that sometimes it’s garbage.

@Tangent5280 @spongeborgcubepants I think the days of worrying about SSDs failing like that during its expected lifespan are over for all practical applications.

@MrMobius @hanke depends what you’re doing. A Raspberry Pi can be surprisingly powerful. Can run NAS, websites, proxies, things like NextCloud, PiHole.
Cheaper than paying someone for hosting a small server? Maybe. But there’s pros and cons of both.

@Sturgist @Squizzy #Suzuki #MightyBoy has entered the chat https://www.teammightyboy.com/suzuki-mightyboy-history.html

@angrystego @RangerJosey pretty sure we agreed on WankerPanzer

@hansolo @columbus this is the way

@hendrik @muntedcrocodile then don’t use that app. Done.

@ParetoOptimalDev @asunaspersonalasst That’s the thing that put me off. I brain couldn’t reconcile the idea of de-Googling by buying something from Google.

@Voroxpete @silence7 something about Proton has never sat right with me. And having seen Brave used in the same sentence as “crypto” put me off them too. I mostly use Fennec or Firefox, with all the dodgy shit turned off

@iopq @threshold_dweller There’s been quite a few wired earbuds with ANC over the years. Not many now though. I would imagine they sound like a dreadful compromise.

@SquiffSquiff @some_guy They do that here to some degree. ISP’s DNS give a shitty warning about pirating if you try to visit any of the normal places for that kind of thing. Personally i just use a local DNS over HTTPS server. Which reminds me I need to see if he/she would like a donation.

@whostosay I know they’re being touted as having done very much with very little, but this kind of thing should have been part of the little.
