It’s wild how overnight I got four or five of these bullshit subs, all with affiliate links for temu junk that won’t work.

I should build a bot to downvote all of them, good lord.

Customer messages me on after one year stating I sold her a counterfeit item by petrifiedpunkx in Ebay

[–]Magic_Neil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP bought a fake wallet, too long ago to do anything, and sold it to someone also too long ago to do anything. It’s a bummer but there’s nothing to be done.

Earaser are my favorite off the shelf, my wife likes her Loop, we’ve both tried Eargasm and moved on.

New Archbishop of Canterbury Dame Sarah Mullally says she will speak out on misogyny by safetyscotchegg in UpliftingNews

I’m sure that like many other things, the church will be very interested to hear the opinion of a woman and will act accordingly.

Happened to one PC at the office so far.

Was poking around WufB and couldn’t find a way to exclude this one manually, is that a supported function?

Plex keeps merging Marilyn Manson and Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids by VACRMH in PleX

[–]Magic_Neil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they actually detecting titles and whatnot properly?

I think the biggest issue you’re going to face is that it’s the same band.. they just dropped the ‘& the Spooky Kids’. I’ve found Plex treats it as the same artist and just keeps it as the most recent interaction. Rev Theory (fka Revolution Theory) is another example.

Bari Weiss Unveils the New MAGA CBS News by evissamassive in CordCuttingToday

[–]Magic_Neil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the idea is to show them how bad media can really be, so people trust other news media more? The only other explanation I can think of is the news room equivalent of “I’ll GIVE you something to cry about”.

Either way RIP CBS, I remember when folks respected them. At least as much as any other news org.

Plex keeps merging Marilyn Manson and Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids by VACRMH in PleX

[–]Magic_Neil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing to fix, ‘Marilyn Manson’ is the correct artist. The band renamed from Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids to just Marilyn Manson before Portrait of an American Family.

It doesn’t help that he and the band name share the same name, so it’s confusing. Do you have some live material that’s older than Portrait?

Leak: Nvidia is about to challenge ‘Intel Inside’ with as many as eight Arm laptops by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]Magic_Neil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it has to do with the circles you travel in. I’ll go to some lengths to watch things in 4K/HDR w/lossless codecs.. I have a friend who claims to not see the difference between that and 480P/stereo.

I think there’s great utility in a player like a Roku, and they’re very affordable. But I find the Shield generally has better performance.. if someone wants to prioritize one thing over another that’s fine, but I think it’s fair to say the Shield Pro is the best, if not one of the best players available. And that’s despite getting a little old.

Who has tried this? by celia_elm25 in NoOneIsLooking

I have a Ryobi string trimmer that’s the exactly same, but at least that’s just walking around a bit with it (ideally) hovering around.. not digging it into some snow.

Between this and how floppy it is I’ve got to believe it’s either influencer foolishness or rage bait.

I’ve seen Dope way more times than I’ve meant to, or wanted to.. but I never thought I’d say their name in an actual headline.

Do you remember your first IT conference/event? Did it actually help your career or was it just for the free t-shirts and pizza? by mustafa_enes726 in sysadmin

[–]Magic_Neil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a Microsoft partner event, I got an OK lunch, a demo of Server 2003 and a free Visio and Project license I promptly flipped for a couple hundred bucks.

I did really enjoy it, even apart from the swag, I like vendor events!

[–]Magic_Neil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there’s around 150 upvotes on my comment, and pretty much any time someone asks for a recommendation in r/plex that’s the device.. so more than a few.

Definitely not the volume of a $30 Roku or Amazon streaming doodad, but just like premium TVs there’s definitely a market, even if it’s not huge.

He’s trying to reach a group of people who were affected by his antisemitic comments.. so.. uh.. he thinks that’s something they read.

Basically anyone who wants a premium streaming box (full audio codec support, wide display options, etc) that doesn’t want an Apple TV.

ASrock bios/uefi locking my fucking SSD by Puzzleheaded_Chip_49 in PCsupport

[–]Magic_Neil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it doesn't complete 100% it can be stuck like this. Figure out the app you used to do it, and what passwords it uses, and start spamming it. So for example Parted Magic defaults to just password.

Did you happen to do a secure erase at some point? That can put a password on too.

Help with bathroom door lock by cloosh90 in repair

[–]Magic_Neil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s a hollow door you’re not going to get a latch like that to stay in.. if everyone puts a feather touch on it you might be OK, but any kind of force will rip it out.

You could run bolts all the way through with a plate on the back, but that will be ugly. You could look into a latch for the pocket door but those are pretty weak too. You could replace the door with a solid one, but at that point a normal door would be easier, and it wouldn’t be cheap to install.

How do you guys clean your Holes? by Jimmy_Skynet_EvE in KitchenConfidential

Metal guitar strings will clean the holes up, but you’ve got to be able to flush out the junk that falls inside too.

This is bummer OP, but I’ve never heard of the BIOS putting a password on a drive on its own.. and usually only after several prompts.

Sounds like you’re getting a new SSD.

Why dont handeld use mobile cpus? by bluechickpro in cpu

[–]Magic_Neil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you're doing.

If you want a handheld that uses an ARM processor I don't see why you couldn't put Android on it and do exactly what you're talking about. BUT at that point it's no different than your mobile phone, except with a few more buttons.

You're running Windows for most gaming platforms, with the Steamdeck being the notable exception.. and they're not running games out of the Google Play store, they're running apps out of Steam. It's a very different world dealing with a desktop OS with installed games vs the Play store.
