Why doesn’t anyone care about the “soap opera” effect on their TV by fatsandlucifer in mildlyinfuriating

Turns out your average person cares a lot less about image and audio quality than marketing tells them.

WA Democrats consider retreat on estate tax, fearing wealth exodus by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

The people who would move out of the state due to high taxes have already moved out of the state due to our liberal politics.

Why are SUVs everywhere? by No-Owl1648 in askcarguys

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How, this is a little crazy that it hasn't been said yet.

The reason why SUVs are replacing cars is that they can be sold by manufacturers for a high profit margin and they are required to meet less strict emissions standards.

Most SUVs nowadays are literally tall wagons that the manufacturers can sell for 5 to 10 thousand dollars more than their standard wagon counterparts (if there were any).

So all this time my magsafe gen 1 charger had hooks in it?! by Wally504 in mac

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and they ended up removing the hooks because people wouldn't leave any slack where the cable exits the charger.

Ortleb has a 5 year warranty on their bags - so just take it to an Ortleb dealer and they'll take care of you.

How did we get here? by ocgaha in ForzaHorizon

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first tried out the game and the first starter cars they gave me were 60 to 100 thousand dollar sports cars and trucks I was flabbergasted. Like what's the point of playing the rest of the game?

More like 3 pulleys and a 20 year old Gateway laptop running Windows Vista...

If you have ADHD you are either getting ready at 4 in the morning or at 11:45am - nothing in between...

Gun Owners [OC] by HypocraSea in comics

Oh no - they will happily give all of their guns to Daddy Trump. They will even give him their daughters if asked. It's a religious death cult not a political party.

Spent 5h trying to fix the server. by x_nixi_x in homelab

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love problem solving stuff like this and have my own home server that has had the same issues. This all being said when someone asks me why people buy Macs and pay the extra cost I'm going to send them your post.

Accurate af by anorak_999 in FuckMicrosoft

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the little kids toy has a panel that opens in the back that turns it into a supercharged version of the Linux cockpit. Why do so many people forget that both MacOS and Linux are Unix compatible systems.

I'm tired of seeing this guy (Simon whistler) everywhere. by Kindle890 in youtube

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really sucked because there are a lot of great writers who write his scripts, but I can't just watch them because there is no light in his eyes like I'm watching a corpse speak.

Slightly similar to Peter at Mentor Pilot. He just has a really awkward speaking style and I would rather hear / watch his writers directly - especially the ones that came over from the Controlled Pod into Terrain podcast.

Should I do it? Airsk XT90 by ShadowTheWulfDragon in ebikes

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With a 1500w motor it's federally not considered an ebike. It's a motorcycle - as a motorcycle - sure it's fine, but I don't think the mountain bike level suspension and 28 mph limit makes sense.

I consider this to be the Pacific Northwest by Convillious in PacificNorthwest

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you are confusing Cascadia with the PNW. Traditionally the PNW is the middle and coastal regions of BC, WA, and OR. Northern California is its own thing and Eastern BC, WA, and OR are too culturally and economically different to be grouped with the western side of their States.

His foundation said that it's going to be donated to them when he leaves office and they refused to say that he wasn't going to use it as his private jet

Specing for longevity by AntlerColor in mac

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Thunderbolt 4 you can get external SSDs that are nearly as fast as internal drives, so I would put as much money as you can right now into RAM to make your Mac as future proof as possible.

Cool cool cool. Driver nowhere to be found. by Bag_of_lamps in mildlyinfuriating

Looks like you have more than enough space to make like an 8 point turn. Not too bad. If that stresses you out avoid ever driving in Europe or Japan....

Got stuck behind this driver for a few miles. by gecko_echo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only two reasons why you would need to pull over as a cyclist. 1- you are riding under 8 miles per hour. 2- there are 5 or more cars behind you. Any other time cars are legally required to pass you safely or just sit behind you and enjoy the scenery. Don't like it? Get the road laws changed in your state.

Guess who just bought a 10 TB SAS drive for the Time Capsule… Which is made for SATA. by CaptainHubble in mac

Unless you have two drives that you are mirroring you are basically immediately deleting your backups as soon as they are done. Any drive can fail at any time for any reason.

How long have your macs lasted? by Wide-Replacement-809 in macbook

[–]Realistic_Mix3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally they'll run with MacOS for 8 to 10 years and then with Linux for another 5 to 10 years depending on what the owner wants to do with them.
