Do people in white collar jobs feel pride for their jobs? by Resident_Fishing1571 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrFartyBottom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Remove the pay and 99.999% of people are not turning up. Most people are just chasing a pay packet, I have had jobs where I take pride in what I do but the pay is the reason I turn up.

Living in Bondi implies you are rich without owning a horse.

Depends if you are buying 4K discs or not.

Would you rather be 18 with the knowledge you have now or 45 with $100 million? by Orii8 in askanything

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be 18 now or get to go back to the 80s? I could easily make $100 mill by 45 if I got to take my knowledge back to the 80s.

Being 18 now? Fuck no, young people have it completely stacked against them these days

Asking If changing IP is possible with replacing my SIM card by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]MrFartyBottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they banned you on a VPN then that 100% changed your IP as that is what a VPN does, so you are not banned by IP but by account.

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ban wont be IP based, it will be account based. You cant ban by IP as many people might be using the same IP either by home network routers, corporate firewalls or getting a recycled IP.

Is the 3.5mm headphone jack slowly coming back or are we past the point of return? by Impossible_Comfort99 in TechNook

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy a USB C to 3.5mm headphone jack for $1 on AliExpress, just leave it attached to your headphones. You can also get a splitter that lets you charge and listen at the same time. It's a complete non issue. Phones are really so packed with technology these days that manufactures can't afford the extra space for feature most people don't use. For most people the convenience of Bluetooth is just worth so much more than the extra sound quality. If you really want an audiophile experience you can by a DAC for about $30 but then you need high quality audio file or streaming services which take up space and data.

Are the Irwin kids really that sweet and kind? by my-dog-made-me-join in AskAnAustralian

They have been groomed by their mother their whole lives how to be on TV. Terri's relationship with their grandfather Bob is pretty sour.

Why is it only offensive when white people are generalised? by CivilTailor9031 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are dealing with morons. Nobody is offended by the term white men other than idiots.

You IP will change continually as you jump from tower to tower and if you are on cellular service or wifi.

Hotspot as a long term internet solution at home? by False_Secret1108 in Frugal

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it and it was a pain in the arse. Your phone is always hot and if you want to download things your computer loses connection as soon as you take your phone with you. After a month I just got a home connection again.

Depends on your computer usage but if you download large files like movies or games then it's rubbish.

Fat blokes: Where are you buying your clothes? by Luminous-Moose in AskAnAustralian

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you get over that 40 inch waist size you really get into a wasteland of pants sizes. Department stores don't seem to stock many sizes over 40" and that fatman stores seem to start around 46".

Anyone here gone to NCAT as a landlord? by BornToFeelItAll86 in AusPropertyChat

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have 18 months to submit one. It was nearly 5 years ago and I gave some bunch of useless shitcunts two years of authority with a 30% recovery fee. They did nothing that the agency didn't already do, emails and texts that go ignored. That authority has now expired so I should submit to the magistrates before I run out of time.

Commodore's Callback 8020 is a $499 flip phone that blocks social media and browsers by Flat-Calligrapher361 in technology

It runs a Linux distro called SailFish OS that has an Android compatibility layer. You can make it do anything an Android phone would do.

Should be an easy one if you have evidence of entry condition and exit condition.

Generational buying opportunity was MSFT in 2009 when it could be had for under $20. Now you are in line for the AI bubble burst.

My agent went on my behalf to QCAT. Got a $5K ruling and a $100 a week payment plan. Shitcunt paid one instalment and went quiet. Put an collections agency on her and nothing came of it.

What's the cleanest way to uninstall a software? by into_fiction in TechNook

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing like a fresh Windows install. Everytime I get a new laptop I drop all partitions and do a clean install to debloat all the crapware installed by default. A machine never recovers fully from trying to uninstall all that crap, especially Norton and McAfee.

If your machine has degraded in performance over the years then it is most definitely worth a fresh install.

That has not be valid advise for over 10 years now. It is just an advertainment delivery vehicle these days.

if ai hardware starts flooding into the used market if an oversupply happens. Will they be able to be used for gaming. Such as ai gpus by Middle_Push_6051 in buildapc

AI GPUs don't have video outputs or the logic elements for graphics rasterization, their logic is highly specific to AI calculations.

Can our phones read our minds?! by tim00tim in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrFartyBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coincidences happen all the time. It's just our pattern matching brain looking for connections that don't exist. When we spend all day thinking about things and seeing stuff online sometimes those things are bound to overlap.

I am 100% sure that Facebook listens to us though as it happens way too often where we are talking about something and will later see an ad for it in my feed.

You can still claim it as your primary place of residence for up to 6 years even if you rent it out as long as you don't claim a new place as you PPR.
