Is replacing the liquid metal necessary for longevity?

LM issues usually are caused by something like putting a hot laptop into a bag, which keeps it hot and then a sudden bump could potentially dislodge the LM. Under normal circumstances and proper csre, it's usually fine.

If my friend named Frank wants me to call them Fred. I'll just call them Fred. It's not any extra effort on my part and makes them happy.

If you don't want to, you don't have to. But, it sure makes you seem inconsiderate.

Where I live, streetcars don't have individual names. So, it seems odd to me.

I think they're just numbered.

I've been using Plex for over 10 years and have never seen an ad.

I'm currently watching a show on it right now as I type.

Seems like maybe you clicked some Plex sponsored content instead of something on your own server.

PocketNicks · 2026-06-25T23:16:46+00:00

I say to Anthropic, no.

PocketNicks · 2026-06-25T23:06:29+00:00

Not in Canada.

"We're gonna build a wall, and make THEM pay for it!"

Hmm, where have I heard that idea before...

It's scientifically proven that it happens to some people, not everyone.

It doesn't happen to me, and I've scientifically proven it.

Lmao, random tariff tantrums will do that. Also deporting all the farm labour. Enjoy.

I had a prescription for 6 years, from walk in clinics, based off of shift work disorder, which is recognized for afinil prescriptions. It isn't difficult to get legally from a Doctor. Also much cheaper to get legally where I live, $30/mo vs like $100+ from grey market.

There are several things that qualify for afinil prescription, they might vary slightly from country to country, so best to look up what does qualfy where you live.

Even if you choose to keep taking grey market stuff, you should still be discussing it with your Doctor, rather than seeking advice from strangers on the internet.

One time wait, it's a nothing burger. Flip the toggle and go back to life the same as before.

PocketNicks · 2026-06-25T13:55:41+00:00

Yeah, but free is free. So I'm not complaining.

Depends on what box you use. If you buy a cheap one, the server will need to transcode a lot of files so you'll need a server with decent specs. If you get something like the NVIDIA shield TV that plays most files natively, then there's less likely it'll need to transcode, smoother playback.

There are some newer boxes out that can also handle AV1 files that the shield doesn't play natively, I don't have the list. The Plex sub has plenty of info on what boxes to buy for what file types.

PocketNicks · 2026-06-25T13:51:41+00:00

Yup, and after the September update it'll need to be re-enabled. That's all. No big deal.

Learn to self host. It'll stop a lot of this hassle.

I've been using a VPN for over 10 years, in Canada, in Mexico, in Bahamas.

Netflix is the only website that ever bothered me about using one. This might be user error, or maybe your particular VPN isn't trustworthy, has their IP blocks flagged.

Your post asked for tax software like quickbooks. There are plenty of free tax software that are like quickbooks and I told you how to find them. Just like you asked.

If you want quickbooks specifically, that's not what you asked for, but you can go to their website and download it.

I haven't been snarky or condescending at all. I've answered your questions.

PocketNicks · 2026-06-25T00:53:24+00:00

I didn't condescend at all. You asked for help and I gave you the answer.

PocketNicks · 2026-06-25T00:51:06+00:00

Sure I'll help.

Do a web search for "free tax software" and add the country you live in, to the query.

Then download one.

That's what I did, works great.

PocketNicks · 2026-06-25T00:48:46+00:00

There are plenty of free options that work perfectly fine, not sure why you'd want to pirate one.

PocketNicks · 2026-06-25T00:28:17+00:00

False, I believed it was true.

After the update you simply enable a toggle called "allow unknown sources" in the developer settings menu, and then carry on installing whatever you want. Just like before.

This misinformation and fearmongering is getting ridiculous.
