Currently playing Block Blast as my time killer and loving it.

Banned for now…

I had no idea they even made a new Snow White. Guess I’ve been doing a good job at ignoring ads.

Last I heard, Utah was the only US state that allows for this. I’ve got a perfect south facing side of the house that I could easily put some panels just outside the windows to help offset my power bill that I’d love to use.

Just had to do this a few weeks ago. They have you taken a pic of your driver’s license, provide your SSN & run a credit check on the spot. Then they charge you to tour the place.

A very “fuck you, I’m getting paid regardless” mentality from rental companies.

The only way I was able to block TikTok was to use Adguard and block it under Filter -> Services.

You cannot block it just by domain as they use CDN’s and it is just a constant game of whack a mole to try and block them.

Good to know, thanks. Now I’m not as annoyed as I was, lol.

I just got rid of my Pixel 6a because it had one of the bad batteries. Tip to anyone taking advantage of the trade in rebate, DO NOT get the $150 Google Store credit and be like me thinking you can use it on the Google Fi Store to purchase a new Pixel. The $150 store credit is only towards the purchase of a Pixel phone via the Google Store. Take the $100 cash rebate option instead because it tells you once you choose either option, you cannot change it.

My hope was to get the Pixel 9a on my account for $249 (activation discount) on my account and then use the $150 store credit… nope.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was amazing and made me want to play the first two but that damn Nintendo tax has prevented me from finding it at a decent price on the secondhand market.

Since you mentioned FF series, don’t sleep on FF12. It is up there on my top games as it was the first one I played where I could automate my group.

Until the AI companies find a way around it. Love the idea so hopefully it causes at least 3 days of struggle for the AI crawlers.

Having said that… Can someone else put this in place so we do not have Cloudflare hosting everything where we would just be one intern away from a global outage. Please? Pretty please?

I’m in the same boat. I have leftover PC parts to offload and Craigslist is shit and the Nextdoor app doesn’t have as much reach from what I can see.

Exactly. Too much choice can lead to analysis paralysis. I’ve been telling everyone who brings up Windows 10’s expiration date that now is a good to install Linux Mint as a good beginner place to start.

I’ve always wondered, how does balcony solar work? Are you charging a large battery and using said battery?

That article says you just plug it into an outlet. Is it a special outlet of some kind?

I’m just one of today’s lucky 10,000 and want to learn about it.

Doing the same on Ubuntu myself after trying Bazzite for a couple weeks. Bazzite kept messing up SSSD and would prevent me from authenticating with my home domain.

Will definitely try SteamOS once it is fully released.

But if I have a backup Internet, I have no excuse to be to not work during an ISP provided break time!

Good.

Here you go!

I guarantee this was their goal all along. Build up something to have a larger entity come through and buy the company. Wish I had thought of it but I’m not a fan of screwing over the user base.

I had an issue recently where my new PC build would not shut down. It would power itself back on on every shutdown immediately.

Checked the bios and found that I had Wake on PCIe (something like that) enabled. Soon as I disabled it, I was able to shut down my PC.

My assumption is that I was shutting down my PC and my monitor still being on was causing my Asus mobo to see it as a turn on event.

Thanks. That’s what I get for skimming the page while in a meeting…lol
