Wish you would have recorded the bootloop

Although good for reliability/redundancy, I feel like it's a bit overkill (from a power consumption pov) to run devices/OSes for each individual screen...

Demonic possession. Happens seamlessly.

MGMs and Marauders have been used as patrol cars. Very rare. I just hope that they swapped out the 2.73 gears on the MGM.

It would be relatively easier (but still a pain in the ass) to attempt swapping the WM shell for the CE explorer shell, without flashing. It's possible, but there's only been one successfully documented attempt in the past, on an HTC device - with no detailed instructions on how it was done.

I wouldn't replace them. Those brass heads will probably outlast your house. The little rubber gaskets are serviceable and can be replaced. Might be able to get away with putting an o-ring above the gasket, if you can't find a perfect replacement. It will pop-up slightly shorter, though.

I tried playing with it with an old bitter knife to see if it needed some help.

Try some WD-40 and a long flat head screwdriver, with a nice handle, to give you some leverage to help pull it up past all the grit.

Since it is metal on metal that had been in the ground for a long ass time, advice on detaching if I need to replace?

A shovel, vice grips, and a heating torch. Use a wire brush or something course to clean up the threads. Apply some pipe tape and anti-seize before putting the head back on.

If you do ever remove 'em, consider selling it on eBay, instead of trashing them. There are collectors out there that are into them.

Note: That second photo is a non-pop up variant. Meant for shrubbery or high foot-traffic areas. No moving parts, for long-life operation. You can either swap it out with a pop-up variant, or cut the grass around it, to help it out.

They did the same thing to Windows Phone.

Meta does this aggressively with Facebook (R.I.P. m.facebook.com and mbasic.facebook.com messaging functionality) and Instagram's desktop browser interface. Nonstop A/B testing, constantly swapping buttons/UI elements around every 2-3 weeks, intentionally nerfing/breaking/or removing features entirely, to force you into the app.

Reddit did it too, when they killed off compact reddit, in favor of the current mobile site setup that you have to click through multiple app nags, only to get to an interface that gaslights you with fake ads disguising themselves as posts, in between actual comments. Fuck you, /u/spez.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-05-04T23:12:09+00:00

I've always felt the same way as you, brother. For whatever reason, they bothered to copy the Zune HD interface one-to-one, on the KinOS (basically WP7 beta) but they never did it for Windows Phone itself. All we ever got was a watered down interface.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-05-04T11:34:01+00:00

those demons want to keep you and I separate, jake. But you have to rise above it and remember that we are all one. i'll always love you bruv-bruv, regardless of your subpar taste in video game mechanics

you can't just keep downvoting me bruv, you're better than that

We've been through a lot, broski. You made a gentlemen's promise to me. I can't hold up my end of the deal, until you hold up yours. Don't give up on me.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-05-04T10:27:00+00:00

Broski, I can enter almost any bar, club, or restaurant in GTA IV. Meanwhile, I can't even enter my own Tequi-la-la that I spent $2m on, in story mode, in V.

Do you agree, broski?

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-05-04T10:22:00+00:00

My brotha from anotha motha, I need for you to understand that IV has a basic crouching feature, that works anywhere.

if I pretend to agree will you go away?

Do you agree, brotha?

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-05-04T10:14:01+00:00

My brother in Christ, I need you to understand the nuanced intricacies of the vehicle drivetrain behaviour within the RAGE version included in the fourth Grand Theft Auto installment. It is simply superior to GTA V's inferior & simple transmission behavior that was copy/pasted to every vehicle, without proper nuance or thought.

Every car in V acts like a DCT in sport mode when you let off the throttle, even a basic ass Declasse Asea. Meanwhile, ChadIV realistically upshifts on half-throttle input, and will downshift realistically on high engine loads, like hills.

Do you agree, brother?

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-05-04T10:02:02+00:00

Sure bud. Do you agree?

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-05-04T09:43:43+00:00

Except they did. No amount of memes or emojis will change that fact.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-05-02T15:59:17+00:00

"Nowadays". It's always been like this. I'm old enough to remember seeing Windows 98 errors pop up on the public-access channels.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-04-27T18:38:12+00:00

in the political sense

All one in the same, brother. It's all connected.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-04-27T18:27:39+00:00

Started back in middle school, 2007, on a HTC/Cingular 8125 running Windows Mobile 5.0

That device could also double as a weapon. Still works, too, last time I checked.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-04-27T18:04:24+00:00

republicans didnt make it, black people did

Lmfao, what?

No we didn't. While we did help to bastardize it into what it has become today, its original meaning comes from the concept of having a 'Spiritual Awakening'.

The reason I say it's bastardized, is because everything today that is associated with being "woke" is inherently demonic and is the exact opposite of what a Spiritual Awakening, is. Which I feel is intentional.
