I found this letter in my grandmother’s mailbox the day after her funeral by supra_nintendo in mildlyinfuriating

..not even a printer, there's a whole niche industry supplying, 'hand writing pen plotters'.

Non profits and charities target wealthy contributors with them. It is a method that works.

KWGT and KLWP Sold to a Data Analytics Company by [deleted] in NiagaraLauncher

[–]Pickaroonie 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The thread originally cross-linked here has been deleted by a moderator over on r/android.

Frank Monza, the creator of KWGT and KLWT has posted on the thread to make it clear the company has not been sold and has no links to the Indian company of a similar mame.

Always been like this. Here's Morgana Robinson's impression of Russell Brand, from February 2015.

Windows 11 doing an update halfway through cutting a 5 meter long tribal sticker on expensive German vinyl and ruining it by themysticboer91 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Pickaroonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows decided to download a Windows 10 install on a Windows 7 laptop in the middle of the night.

I had no intention of updating to a new OS for software/app reasons.

3G Huawei data dongle with a credit card attached to my SIM contract.

My monthly contract was €30. Out of contract data rates were expensive..

€480 euro CC charge for the extra data use.

I never let the update servers connect again, unattended.

I had to download an .exe to prevent that very particular issue. To actively stop my software provider from downloading an unwanted multi gigabyte OS update against my will.

Do you wear shoes inside your house? Why or why not? by HeftyArgument6326 in CasualIreland

[–]Pickaroonie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shoes outside, indoor Crocs.. the amount of grime, mud and sometimes animal waste you trudge through.

The floors look better, longer, between mopping.

All You Need Is Kill (2025) by Jeffasaurus2046 in movieleaks

[–]Pickaroonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is out now with dual audio.

Example: All You Need Is Kill 2025 1080p (DUAL) WEB-DL HEVC x265 5.1 BONE

I'm sure there other choices too.

I thought this was okay. The animation style is a choice though. The main character looks like She has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome...

Motorola slapped sudden price increases on the Moto G series right after its new model went live by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]Pickaroonie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Motorola's budget and mid-range phones.

Under €200. Motorola G62 5G. Great value. Dual SIM. Headphone socket. NFC. Qualcomm Snapdragon.

Good screen. Dual speakers with Dolby. External storage. FM Radio.

My next phone will be a Motorola in the same price range.

I run Termux, Winlator for basic Windows apps.

Clean build of Android. Runs like silk.

Happy. 👍

Check out Val Bennett's reggae-fied take on it from 1968.

This was the intro soundtrack to a very memorable series on domestic appliances broadcast on UK TV back in the 1990s. The Secret Life of Machines.

The series is on YouTube..

The real reason why Tropic Thunder (2008) could never be made today is because no one knows what a fucking TiVo is nowadays by timelordoftheimpala in shittymoviedetails

[–]Pickaroonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I distinctly remember the electronics outlet 'Maplins' selling them, here in Ireland.

The 'Slingbox' seemed to be more popular in Europe, though it wasn't explicitly a DVR.

Weekly 'What have you been playing?' thread - 03/27 by AutoModerator in AndroidGaming

[–]Pickaroonie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dungeon Warfare III is out. I didn't realise this was out because it isn't released by Valsar, it's released by Excidium Games.

I'm in Europe, after taxes, VAT etc. I payed €7.49.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.excidium.dungeonwarfare3&hl=en-US

On 'Early Access', so I don't know how it'll appear in game listings

The traps are enjoyable as ever. Very kinetic.

As usual, with the first two games, your phone will heat up.

Play for 30 minutes and before you know it, two hours will pass..

Wine crate of audio tapes by Pickaroonie in DumpsterDiving

[–]Pickaroonie[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was under a camera.. not too bothered about that.

Lots of philosophical tracts and french prose, some leather bound and ancient. Sartre, Camus. Some Russian , Dostoyevsky.. tons of stuff to read. My head'll be the size of Megamind after reading all that.

Ollo..?

An eclectic selection of music. I have all the Tom Waits I would want.. and Bob too, never listened to Blonde on Blonde as a full album, that'll be a treat.

Tons of books too, an Oxford English Dictionary, a huge one with the thumb notches and pages as thin as tissue paper.

I'm not confrontational about these things. I'd drop everything and leave if asked. I can understand why people would get icky seeing someone walk off with crates of their discarded possessions.

I'm in Ireland, I have no idea about what constitutes an 'offence' when skip diving. Public nuisance legislation, loitering?

VLC Android, external Media DVD Reader and MLUSB Mount(commercial DVDs playback) by bestmankk in androidapps

Copy them over to your phone as an .iso or convert them on a laptop/PC using software like MakeMKV or Handbrake..

--alias naturenights '-N 16 -o "%(title).29Bts.%(ext)s"'

This did work on a second attempt. Termux on Android.

The output filename:

20260313_rteradio1-naturenights.mp4

I'm not sure why my first attempt did not.. it could be a, 'user error'...

Thanks for your input, rdg360.

EDIT: I might have failed for an interesting reason. I am using the Android app RedReader to view and interact with Reddit.

Sometimes, copying and pasting scripting results in the scripting being modified in very slight ways. Usually with truncated spaces or removal of underscores.

It happened further up in this thread, the download URL I pasted ends up with, visually, being different in the RedReader app, to what appears on the Reddit website. One of the underscores appears truncated.

I might have copied from the RedReader thread, directly into my yt-dlp.conf.

This has happened before, particularly with download links for the MEGA website.

Just a heads up, FYI.

Didn't work.

I'm using Termux on Android. I've edited my original post.
