I don't get that either.

Firing the FED chairman and putting a political appointee in his place. It's kicking the ladder out from underneath you while you hang yourself with Epstein's rope.

I still don't understand what "woke" even means.

I have tried reading it several times and I still dont understand the statements. I dont know or think that most of Lemmy cares about the Democratic party. But I also dont understand how if they did they sucked the parties balls. And stand up to what when and why?

My hate for the Democrats has been building since Obama started committing war crimes and extra-judicial killings of native born Americans.

I just really dont understand what point you are trying to make and who you think you are making it too.

I for one am excited to watch this cluster.

Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Pixel, Pixel 5, and now Pixel 8 user.

For the most part the hardware is fine but what really sets them apart is pulling it out of the box. Clicking the build number until I'm a developer, turning on USB debugging and OEM unlocking, rebooting and installing my own choice of OS or ROM.

Surging markets is a lie.

While the quarter is up we're down from this point last year and all indicators are for things to decline more.

If true then they should release the info. I'm going to bet it's another lie. Just like the Epstein files.

First off you/they are confusing Democratic Socialists with Socialists, they are not the same though they may have overlapping platforms. Much like Libertarians and Republicans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Socialists_of_America https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zohran_Mamdani

Second, in many African states being a member of the upper or wealthy class obligates you to hire and employ staff. When I lived in Africa we had a driver, house keeper/cook, and while we did not directly employ security, our community was gated with 24h security. This is an expected behavior as it major economic and employment driver. In addition to that Africa just requires more work, things are not so neatly setup and simple tasks like grocery shopping can take a full day and require a driver. You cant just go to a big box store and get everything you need.

Lastly, your statement "And he’s very rich. Shouldn’t he be giving all of his money like Lemmy thinks rich people are supposed to do?" is nonsense and in bad faith. Most people have nothing wrong with people having wealth, what is at issue is how currently the people with wealth abuse the system and dont pay their share of tax. Currently the rich pay somewhere around 16bn in taxes a year, but if they paid similar to what most average Americans paid, they would be paying nearly 80bn a year. The real welfare queens are the rich. They dont work, provide nothing of value, and wont pay their taxes but are happy to take every handout that is offered.

 

Co-workers Ripjaws keyboard died and since its not hotswap it cant be fixed easy.

He is looking for a replacement but is really addicted to the macro keys on the left. Anyone have a non Keychron rec? (I am already sending him all the Keychron keebs that offer similar layouts)

Thanks/Cheers!

 

Despite the massive breach where we found out that notes (where lots of people stored previous passwords) were not stored encrypted by Lastpass, I have stuck with them for years because its hard to switch services.

Recently I realized that both my wife and I were paying for 2 separate password manager services and we need to consolidate down to one.

Staying with LastPass and moving to a family account would only cost $4/m which is still 1/2 what we were paying combined.

Is there another manager that offers Apple, Android, and Browser based applications/plugins? Ideally also with an authentication app, though I can swap to any authentication if I need to so its just a nice to have.

 

I will never be done tweaking and adjusting things, but for now, this is how I want it.

I do wish I had more control over things like Discord and Steam. Some of the colors and things just dont fit well with the rest of the style but o well, cant make everything perfect.

Replacement tubes are only about $15 but why spend that when I can just print them!

 

Hey there fellow neck-beards and grey-beards!

I have a motherboard with USB3.1 and I need to down clock it so its always 5 Gbit/s and never faster.

Is there any way to do this, my DuckDuckGo Fu is not finding the right combination of words.

I use Arch BTW...

For a while now I have been a Brother evangelist because they just worked, they did not lock you into first party only printing supplies, and they were overall a good value.

THEN: my printer firmware auto updated and suddenly my toner cartridges were no longer recognized. Its not that they ran out and I put in new ones, simply the ones that had previously worked (3rd party already) just stopped and it reported an error.

I managed to find a guide on downgrading the firmware, and now I am back up and running and auto update is turned off. I am also saving all the little chips from the Brother branded cartridges.

So Dear Brother Printers, Please choke on a bag of dicks. I spent $500ish on a laser color printer so I would not have to deal with the shitification that has happened to inkjet. Seeing hostile and profiteering consumer behavior from other printer companies you decided to copy them for short term gains.

Well I will no longer recommend your products, and I will go out of my way to fix and downgrade your older printers with the sole purposes of putting them back into use and costing you new sales.

1 down, 1 in the cue, feel free to stop being anti consumer and breaking hardware we already paid for.

Hey y'all. I'm not a huge fan of defederating other instances but I honestly don't know that hexbear is adding any value to our discussions. So far everything I have seen is trying to be edgy and gatekeeping with manipulative language. They also seem to enjoy stirring things up for entertainment.

So I pose the question is it worth it to stay federated to a seemingly bad faith instance for the few people who might understand and enjoy the lulz.

I would vote no but I'm open to the discussion.

 

Hey folks... Yes we all saw the drama, and yes Linus probably did not understand that the criticism was of their pace and methodology rather than on a single video.

BUT please down vote bad content, not because your mad at Linus, and more importantly if you are down-voting to protest, do it on Youtube!

This unofficial community (of like 3 people) is not affiliated, we are not beholden, we are fully independent and have no connection to LTT. Down voting here without adding to the discussion is as bad as posting YouTube video's without fixing the errors.

 

My 7 Year Old decided that their GMMK needed a key cap refresh, so we sat down pulled off all the old caps, and put on new ones out of my spare/surplus.

The old Keycaps:

 

The only real complaint I have had for my Keychron K4 has been the plastic case, so yesterday I decided NO MORE!

I took some aluminim stock plate I had left over from another unrelated project and trimmed it down, tapped and countersunk mounting holes, and give it a hand brushed look with some 80 grit sand paper.

So far it feels solid, and I love the diffuse reflections from the key illumination. Combining the open sandwich plate with low profile caps gives it a really cool "exploded" or raw look.

I also added some silicone rubber to some of the larger keys to tone the "ping" down and give them a heftier feel and sound.

I dont love the stock stabilizers that come with this board so they may be the next update. Switches and Firmware are already all custom.
