No worries. Only reason I posted is because it seemed abnormal. Overall you’ve made a very solid platform and I thank you for all you’ve done!

Not OP, but this post took almost a minute to post, most of the others have been quick. Located in Spain.

Other than that, been pretty snappy all day.

You can edit titles on Lemmy, unlike Reddit. So feel free to go back and fix it.

What made T9 great wasn’t necessarily the reduction in keys but the fact you could do it without looking at the phone because of the tactile response of the location of the buttons. It’s gonna be much harder without that feedback and if you’re looking a keyboard is gonna work quicker.

Introducing a new hero…. “Bullet Sponge!”

Valve can keep it. I’ve gotten more than that with overall entertainment out of the platform

Narrator: In fact the human race did not take an preventive measures

Don’t suppose you read your own link….

31. (§162.010). A voter who has affiliated themselves with a party is ineligible to participate in the party affairs of another party during the same calendar year. (§§162.012, 162.013)

Yes you can flip every year but you have to chose a party to vote in their primary. That’s what I said.

In Texas you must register with a party to vote in their primary. Now that doesn’t mean you have to vote for them in the general election. Quite often I’ve registered Republican to try and influence the primary since I’ll vote for whichever Democrat makes it past the primary.

Once upon a time Audi had solar panels on the roofs of their car and it could only generate enough power to run the cabin fan to try to cool the car down while you were parked.

To give you an idea of the sheer amount of power that an EV requires to move its bulk, look at the sizes of their batteries vs home battery packs. An EV has battery packs of around 100kWH and that can get you a few hundred miles range at most. Now compare that to the requirements of a home battery. The average use for an entire home is about 30kWH per day, and most home batteries only recommend 10-15kWH.

Looking at that you start to see the massive difference in power usage required. To charge a small home battery like that you usually need multiple panels (10+). They just don’t have the space and power generation to offset the sheer amount of power EVs require.

I was literally thinking about this yesterday… what’s someone from Belgium called? I couldn’t figure out an ending to add. Belgian?

Only downside is it tends to be a bit behind on feature updates which is probably a good thing. All hardware and software is completely compatible. The other bonus is it gives more fine grained controls over telemetry that home and pro don’t.

I just run Windows 11 Enterprise and don’t see any of this crap

Threat Level: One Minute Till Midnight — could have been a prequel.

I loved that city when I was there in the 00s, to the point of even wanting to live there. But to me, as a foreigner, it is dead because there’s unfortunately not much I can do. My heart goes out to all of those living there, but sadly I have to look at it as no more than another Chinese city with all of the associated baggage and risks. And I know it’s 10 times worse for citizens.

Sounds like you might have shorted out the analog portion while working inside your case. You mentioned other digital methods (like HDMI) work. If you have a connector to a front jack, reversing the pins can fry the audio (been there done that). It’s also possible something accidentally touched and shorted it out.

Most likely you’re gonna end up having to get a USB or other audio card.

Yeah I don’t think 2000 gets enough love because it was a server OS but I preferred using it to XP even on my desktop.

I hope you’re Japanese or can pass for it. As beautiful as the country is (I loved it there) they are highly xenophobic and racist. There are literally restaurants where foreigners aren’t allowed in (even if you’ve lived there decades), getting housing in most places requires you to be “sponsored” by someone with a very high upfront fee, etc.

I’m torn on this. I’m “white”-ish enough, no kids, can’t get pregnant (or anyone pregnant) and I’m in the top 10%… so would anything for me fundamentally change? No…. I could stick my head in the sand and ignore it, but that’s really not me and it freaking breaks my heart to see all the people it impacts.

So I see one of three things:

1. Try to ignore it and keep voting blue and on policies to help those where i can
2. go one step further and put my money where my mouth is and help run an Underground Railroad for those who need to get to blue states while they still have the rights
3. flee to another country

I don’t really want to think about it, but it’s been at the back of my head.

Ha! Read that over and over and missed that. Thank you!
