Nividia

Give me a semi-smartphone. All I want is a dumb phone that has high quality music streaming, GPS, Mail, RCS messaging, calling, Bluetooth, and a modern camera. No big screen, return to T9 typing on a keypad. Just something pocketable that can take good pictures and tackle basic communication in a reliable shell.

I even love the idea of the screen being at-best preview size for photos just for framing and general composition. Where you can’t really tell the quality until you look at them later on a computer.

Idk I’m rambling but after my last app purge I’m down to just 60 apps (which includes most of the built in ones). Still feels like too many since I’ve also cut my daily phone usage down to about 90m on average. I’m kinda tired of it all.

+1 for using LTSC with MAS activation. It’s about the only acceptable way to run windows at home, other than doing the same thing but in an isolated VM.

about:blank with a dark theme is the only new tab experience I will ever use.

$500 for 120TB!?

I spent about $1200 for 100tb of spinning rust for one of my NAS boxes. Please tell me where I can get 20% more for 40% less!

For clarity, at the $240 per 20tb CMR drive, assuming no inflated cost due to novel production processes, it would be around $1440 for one drive. I’m going to assume ~$1600 minimum. Also, I’m not going to buy one until they can prove it doesn’t have the same issues as shingled drives.

Wow they even managed to make the funny number not funny anymore.

Good tips, but how does one practice them? Often times I see advice along the same lines but no offers on how to improve these skills.

ddcutil is a daily driver for me, lightweight, hyper compatible, full monitor control. I primarily use it to lower brightness at night but also constantly switching inputs with simple macros so I can share multiple monitors with multiple systems.

Nice!

NUT is fantastic and so easy to setup, it’s pretty magical watching all my machines and services shutdown during a simulated power outage to verify functionality.

No, valves fees are completely reasonable. $100 one time fee, then 30% for any game key sold by valve with something like a million guaranteed impressions. Also it’s 0% if you generate the keys for free and sell them elsewhere like on your own website. All with the benefit of the steam network and hosting. I’m tired of people believing Tim’s lies under the facade of “he’s and asshole but he has a point”. He doesn’t have a point. He’s throwing a tantrum because he doesn’t have what he wants which is hundreds of millions of paying customers and he doesn’t want to put the time and investment needed into building out the infrastructure to achieve the same feat. He’s a greedy little fuck that wants to do the bare minimum to get rich while valve has been coasting as a market leader because they built the whole freakin market!

Yeah, like, what do people expect? Of course they’ll do good things to get re-elected. That’s literally how this works! I don’t get the people who argue “it’s just for getting votes”. Yes, that’s how it works.

I’m just waiting to see what Kate Lowerton has to say about all this.
