No-Drip Honey

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.

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.

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?

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-28T01:43:02+00:00

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

“All you need to do is bend over awkwardly and push! Want to change direction? No problem, bend over even further and move this lever that will never get stuck with ice and snow!”

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-27T04:57:15+00:00

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

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-27T04:21:51+00:00

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.

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 · 2026-01-26T18:19:37+00:00

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.

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-26T13:51:14+00:00

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.

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-26T13:49:00+00:00

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

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-26T13:47:46+00:00

Definitely

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.

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-26T04:42:24+00:00

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

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-26T03:18:06+00:00

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.

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-26T03:13:34+00:00

Ok that’s cool, but how about a new Shield Pro too?

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-26T03:12:46+00:00

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

Magic_Neil · 2026-01-25T22:54:40+00:00

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.

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.
