I went the route of modest homelab with some mini PCs/Pis/NAS, and a decidedly not modest sim racing rig.

I like to say that for my midlife crisis I bought all the cars. I’m very funny.

Yep good call. I’m usually on my phone where tapping the link and swiping to go back is the natural behavior. I can scroll up and close the browser instead but habits are hard to break.

When did PC Gamer start hijacking the back button to show more ads? Infuriating.

We are all Estebiu alts.

You’re probably thinking of Simone Giertz and her “shitty robots”

What a weird thing to do! They can sue each other until the cows come home for all I care but dragging the community into it like this comes off as petty imo. Musky even.

This is how you end up with a generation of kids who grow up using “rawdog” to mean something other than “unprotected sex”. Just talk to your kids about sex.

Is there any time of day it’s not atrocious? Seems like any time would have basically equal risk for collateral casualties.

Then maybe it shouldn’t be done at all.

Rules are rules!

It is a pretty impressive demonstration of the error correction built into QR codes.

Tried it. Now I’m stopped bumper to bumper with the guy who cut me off to cram his truck into the buffer I left. What’s the next step?

I have never seen Blues Brothers and, to my knowledge, have never seen this clip. Somehow I still knew almost immediately that this must be from Blues Brothers.

Cultural osmosis is crazy y’all.

Also my collection of hobbies seems to match up well with the people who nuked their post history after the API-ocalypse. Even when I get good search results I click through and… so many deleted comments…

Physically covering the left side with a finger and I can now see the old woman. Fucking finally. Thank you!

Sure they can but I always appreciate when someone owns up to their mistakes and leaves them. Pobody’s nerfect and it’s nice to see I’m not alone in making mistakes.

I figured this meme and all discussion around it was in the context of an emergency situation. Emergency stop needed, adrenaline boosts, pedal slamming ensues.

Just until America ceases existing. Could be 1000 more years, could be next January. The future is full of possibilities!

You could have just admitted that you have no alternative. It’s okay to do that.

“Strikes” made me think they were cancelling the deal. Like strike-through, crossed it out, etc. Too bad.

This is just one search result but it’s showing 326 million phones shipped in just Q4 of last year. How many of those new phones do you think shipped with headphone jacks?

There’s plenty of industry analysis out there that, while not perfect, is data showing that new phone sales have not been hampered by the removal of the headphone jack.

I’m rocking a Pixel 5a which does still have it and I do get a warm and fuzzy in my nerd brain by having it there. If I’m honest though, I used it maybe twice in the last year.
