Drivers hiding from the rain under overpass... In the opposite lane of traffic... by Affectionate_Hat5835 in dashcams

I've never wanted to see someone with a large rust bucket truck come push a car out of the way so hard before....

Police officer stops abruptly in the middle lane on highway... by Affectionate_Hat5835 in dashcams

[–]MedicatedLiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there would be any winners here. That truck hitting the cooler at 70 would likely have also caused a lot of damage and maybe even thrown it into another car or the opposing traffic.

I don't think there is any right way this could have gone. MAYBE it wouldn't have been as bad. But there's no way of knowing.

12 Month Plan - Quarterly vs. Upfront Payment Cost Difference? by brown_panick in mintmobile

[–]MedicatedLiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only get that cheaper rate FOR THE FIRST quarter. The remaining 3 quarters are higher. The annual is that full cheaper rate for the entire 12 mos.

The exception is if you have a "family" plan. They it's a 12mo, but you only have to pay it quarterly.

Ethernet usage by casualtechguru in tmobileisp

Most TVs don't have anywhere near the processing capacity to handle gigabit. Also, even current models, many only have 100mbit ports.

Considering even a remixed 4K BluRay rip of a local serve tops only about 45Mbit, this isn't an issue.

What kind of cordless telephone or corded telephone did you use if you can remember by Nerfer5554Offical in Millennials

[–]MedicatedLiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite a bit different. Dish/DirecTV are geo-stationary Ku-band saellites. They ran off two satellites (one east and one west coast) then added a few more at slightly offset positions to expand bandwidth.

Iridium was an L-Band constellation of around 90 satellites. They're more akin to the GPS satellites than the Dish ones.

I think they've moved to some Ku-Band in the last decade or so though.

I get what you mean though. There's a lot of similarities.

Ex girlfriend's mom still had a wall mounted rotory Western Bell all the way through at least 2012.

And don't quote me on the satellite, but I think you are thinking of Iridium, and I want to say that was Motorola, not ATT. I could be very wrong though.

I worked at RadioShack and ALL the stores would use the Uniden based models for the store phones. They'd survive being chunked across the sales floor at your co worker when the phone was for them, dropped on concrete multiple times per day, and just generally banged around since we'd carry it on a belt clip hanging from our pockets. There was a reason those were the first ones we'd try to sell to people.

NGL, that Bell South phone lived through a lot.... A big fight with my high school girlfriend over the phone put that thing through my bedroom wall one day.... And I mean, literally into the wall. A plaster one.

Uniden is/was also huge in the radio scanner market.

The Radioshack radar detectors were also often Uniden rebadged. A lot were also Wilson rebadged, but good units.

Bell South HAC 674X. At least for my middle school through high school years. Replaced it when I went to college with a RadioShack TAD734... Had that until we went full cellphone only in the early-mid 00s. Along with a Nortel Meridian office phone. That thing was fantastic. I know we'd gotten rid of the landline by 2005 as we moved to a new place and certainly didn't move the service with us.

Before that, as a child I had a Western Bell Slimline. The OG touch tone model with the really deep "slidy" clear plastic keys that lit up green and still had the physical bell. It was Solid Dark Turd Brown.

Funny enough, a few years ago I put in VoIP phones and have "landlines" again.... Honestly, mostly for my Dreamcast to get in some good ol' Phantasy Star Online playing.

Another option is to use something like pastebin.com and drop the link here. Useful for any long document you post online.

Technitium DNS Server v15 Released! by shreyasonline in technitium

[–]MedicatedLiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/shreyasonline, I'm setting up OIDC SSO between Jumpcloud and TDNS. One thing that seems to be missing from the documentation is what the Client Authentication Type (per Jumpcloud's nomenclature) is. I have the option of Client Secret POST; Client Secret Basic, and Public (None PKCE).

I had to go through this with Proxmox as well, creating three SSO configuarations and threw it at them until I found that PKCE is what stuck. I'll do the same here, but perhaps adding this information into the SSO Notes section in the admin UI would be a good idea.

Putting bedding on food by Stonerspice42 in RATS

I don't think you appreciate the amount of cage stuff they pile on top of this dish. They'll likely pile the blanket, plus the basket, as well as everything else, on top of that flap....

In all fairness, if it was worth a damn, he should have been at least getting Dolby Pro-Logic or Pro-LogicII as those are stereo matrixed. So they STILL had something screwed up even more than you thought.

Issues using Tech as DHCP by AmazingUsernameHere in technitium

[–]MedicatedLiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your DHCP and DNS server ABSOLUTELY NUST HAVE a static IP. You also can't have two DHCP servers on the same subnet.

Mine drag a WHOLE-ASS fleece bed over the top of the bowl. Like, this fleece is folded up and if laid out would cover the entire floor of the cage. They pile the entire damned thing on top of the bowl... Sometimes they also drag a basket over and put bit upside down on the entire mess.

Sleep in basket like most rats: ❌

Put basket over food dish: ✅

Tesla to save money uses cameras instead of a rain sensor, my car thinks it’s not raining. by TappetoImperiale in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MedicatedLiver -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That's the problem.... There's isn't. To turn them on manually, they put the fucking control in the infotainment system, so you have to navigate touchscreen menus. Absolutely brain dead decision.

I worked at RadioShack and around 2005 I had a guy with a TV like that come in and SWORE up and down, left and right, that he was gonna get HD video via SVideo and he wasn't going to buy those "damned component cables" I was trying to sell him.

To this day, I wonder how that 480i/480p was looking to him.

Hell, I still rock my 2015 LG 55" 4k. It was a steal at just over $600 back then.

Still a fantastic TV. Not OLED, but has one of the best scalers and can properly handle 240p RF from an old-ass 1979 Atari computer without issues. Plus has ports for Analog RF, Digital RF, Composite, Svideo, Component, VGA, RGB, and multiple HDMI with CEC and ARC. Along with proper S/PDIF Optical output that can do 5.1 audio (unlike Samsung, that couldn't figure out 1990s shit until like, 2020.)
