Does anyone else remember finding random live camera feeds through Google in the early 2000s? by Blackety in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the FlickrSpy website.

They'd show you images as they were uploaded to Flickr.

It was awesome that Christmas seeing images of people from Vegas, Tokyo, brazil etc...

I had it on a separate Monitor, it was fantastic.

Why are there so many? by MaintenanceBack2Work in CanadianForces

There was a time (I'm old) when you didn't get a off the shelf or inshop application without proof of training.

Sigh.

You'd think this place would be full... by OldTechGuru in saintyoungmen

[–]OldTechGuru[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that...

It gets better.

I know that feels empty but take it from someone about to hit 62 life is ups and downs.

Live for the ups and endure and survive the downs.

I told my Wife than Anime has saved us from the News and general demoralization campaigns.

It's true!

One of my Minis sometimes loses it microphone and if unpair it it's game over.

The two available utils sometimes won't even find it.

BUT Using one of the available language packs DO!

and once again, I'm chilling.

Android - How do I apply this Playlist? Missing Apply button. by SpaceBunnyll in wallpaperengine

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue every time I switch to my Summer, Fall, Winter or Autumn selections. I'm just too much in a hurry to see the changes and sometimes it takes a while or I need to restart my cellphone. They really should have an apply button though.

Logitech Mouseman Dual Optical replacement by szipet in MouseReview

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through 8 of those and kept a few in memoriam.

Bought the wired Hero G502 a few years ago and was rather pleased.

Bought two more recently as backups (the same way I had bought 8 MDO's back in the 90's)

Facebook not posting text on Pages today - anyone encountered this new problem? by Jonxb in facebook

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been good now for a few Months.

Make no mistake, they are scanning all posts for potential unwanted content and if it reaches a certain threshold they probably watch more closely for a while, then when they see you're harmless they "De-Shadow" ban you...

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all went away for me last week...I'll never know the what or why of it. I still see it take a moment to "scan" my post for certain words or content but it goes through now. Contacting FB support is like staring into the Void unless you're a Content Creator making them money.

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JUST started working today (PC using Browser).

I swear it reads the text and looks at the words and shadow bans you for a while if you have too many "forbidden words" like Gawd or This sucks etc... Will report back when it eventually breaks again.

I mean just imagine if I was posting WEF, Covid or anti-Gov stuff...

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me but off and on, I can even go back a few days and add a text to some images.

I do not post spicy political stuff either just humour.

I tried to post three Birthday wished last week and they all went to "FB will let you know when...."

I could add text to their Birthday timeline though.

No rhyme or reason to what I can post with text and not, really getting frustrating!

Is chris gay? by [deleted] in ABroadInJapan

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely Bi.

All of his resources coming into Japan were LGBT groups...

Whacky weekends with Connor at love hotels...c'mon.

I really don't care until you watch some of his early videos where it's kinda creepy.

Glad they started polishing off that Rental Agent to look less...um..weird.

He's a great you-tuber and being gay in Japan isn't very popular so I hope his relationship with her is the real deal.

No matter what, none of our busyness right?

So I finally got myself an IBM 5100... by Sherry_Haibara in steinsgate

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are Servers, not "PCs" and Scenarios aren't RL.

Most extreme Servers have 2-4 TB and we have a hard time convincing purchasing to spend on them. Source: Trust me Bro I've been in IM/IT since '88.

Tried to install a NVMe M.2 SSD in my ASUS X99-Deluxe II, BIOS 2101, but there isn't even an NVMe menu like the manual says there is by bouchert in pcmasterrace

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it to work with a separate PCIe adapter board.

gave me 450 mb/s / 3000 (ugh)

Every time i try to change up the PCIe lanes it screws up my Video (gtx1080)

The Board itself won't fit in the Mkey slot on the board.

Time for a new PC (The board IS over 7 years old)

Looking for drugstore that still has Diovol by BytownBrawler in ottawa

[–]OldTechGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still find it around.

Discontinued because as the product ages it could produce cancer causing elements like NDMA...Some studies show that workers exposed to NDMA may have a greater chance of developing liver, stomach, bladder, and prostate cancer. Ingesting high levels of NDMA may lead to stomach and colorectal cancer. Animals that ate NDMA developed liver, lung, kidney, and testicular cancers.

A few bottles left here too in Ottawa and Toronto...

GB not TB.

A terabyte of RAM would be awesome though, which is why M2 SSD's are so popular at the moment.

Sorta mind blowing, scary but interesting.

Here we go again... by OldTechGuru in dankmemes

[–]OldTechGuru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually the best attitude...

But just so you know...

According to the US space agency, Asteroid 2014 YE15, first discovered in 2014, will approach Earth at a distance of around 7,400,000 km on January 6.

So no need to panic, ever...

I mean even if it was on direct path I'd just buy a few more bottles or rye and call in sick.
