That’s Lenovo I believe

Just rolls off the tongue, really

For free?! And all this time I assumed he’d charge for that kind of thing

MS Execs: “they know too much, they are on the verge of understanding directx is all a sham! release the hounds”

Not to be “um actually”, but I owned a Nissan Leaf 1st gen over a decade ago, and the pain points you worry about weren’t really pain points back then, and there was a loooooooooooot less EV infrastructure in place back then. Less reliable, too.

A couple of years ago I rented an EV with a friend who had zero experience with them. I explained everything, we had no evse at the hotel so needed to use public points, still was no issue at all. Each point we used was about 20% to capacity, they all had places to stretch, eat, etc at. No points were damaged or giving less than maximum output. It was extremely pleasant, and we used about $25 in fuel costs, vs $100+ for gasoline in a comparable vehicle.

I also didn’t have an evse installed at home - I used the 110V, ‘level 1’ charger that plugs into an outlet for my Leaf. I drove a ton - 10k miles in 4 months, so 2.5x the national average. Even with heavy reliance on public points on a network that was in its infancy and prone to downtime, I still got by just fine.

And that was 12 years ago.

It’s 2005 and “you can’t get viruses on Mac Nix” advertising is playing all over again

proprietary protocol that requires licensing and has been behind in every way vs DP

Hard pass. Only if they axed the licensing fee would I start to consider it as an alternative. Right now it’s just a grift.

…yes? Some of us are really hardline about stuff. I appreciate the convenience of my bank, but I have learned that if you have loyalty of an outside company, business, etc, you are their bitch. Now me, I don’t mind being a bitch, but it’s for select people. Companies can lick on my balls and suck the dick. I almost closed a credit card with several-thousand dollars in credit because they wanted to verify my person. That was a potential fraud situation though, so after a couple days I decided that is a mutual benefit to keep the card and proceed with the verification.

But this shit? Nah. I’ve closed other accounts (some financial), for lesser reasoning, in the past.

I’ve had a bit of a tumble

8.6.7.5.3.0.9

On a couple of occasions, after finding the missing item, I have continued to search even though it has been found. Because absolutes are wrong, and I’m here to prove it.

Yo dawg, I heard you like power…

I mean, I’ll throw my experience in: I broke up with G for everything except YouTube and the Google Store, to finance pixel devices. That was a decade ago, and I have made no active attempts to get others to do the same, yet about half my friend circle have expressed interest in following me, with a couple taking steps on their own. One is actively researching alternative roms and used pixel phones, in the last week. Again, I’ve made no effort to push them - just mentioning it when it comes up in conversation.

Imagine 200 people doing that, and making the tiniest effort to actively educate others. Domimo effect. Just look at what is happening right now with Windows v Linux. It only takes a few to get the ball rolling on meaningful change.

It’s not images, it’s ‘live’ animated wallpapers. Like on android. I use one of the built-in ones that acts as a… I can’t think of the term, like a visualizer of what part on the sound spectrum is being played, but in circle form instead of just horizontal. When I’m not playing music, it acts as a pixel-style ‘flying through space’ like Win 9x screensavers.

I’ve tried others on the workshop, and they are fun to poke at, but I never keep them long. Rainmeter fits my needs so more basic wallpapers work for me.

Hello 🐺

The last guy didn’t live to tell the tale.

Are babies blood-thirsty murders? More at 10.

I mean, have you ever seen a baby properly store a firearm? Exactly.

E: ban all babies! Ban all babies!

I dunno about you but I’ve never thought about sticking bullets up my butt. Until now.

Gotta champion those balls for the boys 😏
