Ubuntu is dead on the desktop.

I’m hoping to have bought my last x86 portable device. Hell it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if my Ryzen 7700x was the last x86 processor I ever buy.

Well in Australia that line would be entirely red. In Australia, “cunt” is how you pronounce the comma.

r/childfree tended to use “crotchgoblin” a lot. I sure did when I was there.

As a profanity enthusiast this is relevant to my interests, you scumwit dirttard wanksucker.

The one that does what I need it to do on the device I’m running it on. I’ve currently got four different Linux distros on x86 PCs around my house at this moment.

Yeah the bridge itself wasn’t being damaged because they installed a goddamn I-beam in front of it as a crash barrier.

I haven’t done an actual statistical analysis, but relying on my human over-ability to notice patterns and a tendency to laugh at the 11’8" bridge channel on Youtube (said bridge is located in Durham NC and I’m a lowercase t tarheel through and through), most of the trucks that hit the bridge’s crash barrier are Ryder, Penske or Enterprise box trucks, which are rental vehicles available, for reasons completely beyond my comprehension, to anyone with a Class C driver’s license in the state of North Carolina. Also over-represented are RVs that have their rooftop air conditioners scraped off. The vast majority of drivers that hit the 11’8" bridge are amateurs driving a vehicle significantly larger than they’re used to with an absolute height significantly taller than the roof of the cab.

It’s the very occasional semi truck that leads to the most spectacular, and baffling, crashes. They don’t rent articulated trucks to just anyone over 23 with a credit card.

I prescribe one of those feathers on a fishing rod toys. Put that energy to some nice healthy play.

I think they’re just heavy.

I honestly can’t be mad at this point because what they SHOULD do is sell cables in bulk packaging to the Apple store, and then when they sell a phone they say “Do you need a USB cable? Free with the phone.” If they say “No we’re okay I’ve got hundreds of them by now” no problem, if they say “Yeah in fact can I get two?” Sure. Same with chargers. Of course this is Apple we’re talking about, so they’re probably $69.99 each.

A surprising amount of Fractal Design’s cases do.

Adriana Lima, a Victoria’s Secret model, is not one but two of the faces on the fabric. Travis Fimmel was also mainly known as a model at the time, his TV stardom was only just starting to rise when the fabric was made.

The USB port on my phone is getting a bit tired and doesn’t properly hang onto a USB cable anymore, so I’m mostly charging it wirelessly now. Which in some circumstances can be a bit of a problem but the phone still works.

I’ve built two computers now that have never run Windows.

under my brutal dictatorship, laptop power buttons may not be a key on the keyboard. It must be a separate button elsewhere on the chassis.

You copied that floppy?!?!

The motherboard header should be a standard pinout to make it possible to make a solid connector. That should be part of the ATX standard.

The cable from the case…the PC I just built has no reset switch, the power button light is controlled by the case’s built-in RGB controller, there’s no hard drive access light because it’s the distant space year 2024…turns out the only thing plugged into that header on my machine is the power switch itself.

Having an electronics hobby, having played with Raspberry Pis and Arduinos and such, building things like 3D printers, I’m used to dealing with those little 0.1 inch DuPont connectors, everyone else has a fit about them but they’re not that bad.

She probably made you pay for her meal anyway.

I’ve noticed this on zip top food packaging; it’s as if the zipper is a separate piece of plastic that is very weakly glued to the bag itself and it doesn’t extend to the outer lips where you pull it open, so you end up separating one side of the bag from the zipper.
