The Box ^TM just came in handy for me to find a VGA cable to change a BIOS setting on an old PC to output through PCI on boot. Had to reset the BIOS after installing a new CPU and it reverted that setting.

The Box ^TM will stay with me until death.

(Most of these old cables are organized, I haven’t gotten to this box yet)

I’m not a forensics expert how should I know? It’s dirty from something but I know it’s not from the driver sticking it up their ass, I’m 87% sure of that. I just happened to know what the controls were for lol

No that’s a Honda LaneSense passenger side camera toggle, shows what’s beside/behind you from the side mirrors perspective. My mom’s HRV has it. It also activates when you turn on the right turn signal. My guess it it’s from turning the headlights on and off with dirty hands, you can see it’s set to OFF now. Don’t know why people don’t just use the auto headlight feature.

For anyone who doesn’t know, you can remove the Galaxy Store and any other Samsung bloatware you don’t want using ADB. Root isn’t required, but be careful when removing apps, you could accidentally remove something that’s a dependency on something else you actually use. For me I desperately needed to stop the constant notification from the Samsung Account app telling me to sign in to continue.

My gaming desktop has a 5950x, I can run virtual machines and all games just fine. No reason to upgrade.

My Plex server runs an Intel 10400, handles everything I throw at it just fine. No reason to upgrade.

My home theater PC runs a Ryzen 1700 and again, runs just fine. No reason to upgrade.

I think the newest CPU in my house is either my Steam Deck’s APU or the one in my PS5.

I’ve got several flash drives from 2 different brands that are less than 3 years old that are already dying. SanDisk and Lexar, both large brands and they’re already losing reliability. Real shame that the older stuff works longer. I really only need them for making Linux bootable drives and they struggle with that.

Or use ADB and remove them, that’s what I did with all the Samsung and Google junk in this phone.

I guess it’s a threesome

I’m just an idiot that tinkers with things. I’ve got a TrueNAS Scale system up and running as network storage and Plex storage. There’s about 44TB of raw capacity in there right now, connected via a server SAS card. I just follow tutorials if I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.

This is false, I’m currently visiting Brazil and haven’t been murdered.

Hey, Paul!

Not entirely true in my case, I’ve got an old Inspiron 530 that I have been trying to figure out what to do with. Well it ran Vista from the factory so that’s worthless now, so I figured I’d try putting Linux on it. Every single distro I tried installing just wouldn’t get past the splash screen. Mint, Ubuntu, Arch (GUI and manual installer), Pop_OS, ChimeraOS, nothing. Trying different USB media writing methods did nothing or made it not even show as a bootable device. Finally got Xunbuntu to work on it and even that took 3 attempts to install.

I’ve got a more recent HP that was originally Win 7 that did have a much higher success rate and an old Acer laptop that straight up will not boot Linux without a high amount of errors or just completely borked graphics even with multiple distros.

But I’m also an idiot so it’s probably me.

I was talking to one of the repair guys working on one near me and he told me they already ran Linux, so they’re one step ahead of you

My parents and I stopped there on a little trip from NM to Monterey, California. It was summer and I remember there being maybe 10 other visitors there. It’s a super cool place but yeah it’s in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. Even Eustace, Muriel and their pink dog would say it’s the middle of nowhere.

Nice try, NSA, I know those are your spy drones. You can’t fool me!

I give it a week before it’s locked behind Twitter Blue or some new subscription

Dicks out, lads

With the amount of people that made their account with a fake DOB of like 1900 or something to get around mature content I’m sure they already see plenty of users that age lol
