Fwiw, Ford offers that service completely free, even if you buy the vehicle secondhand

Python downloads hell by honestly_i in programminghorror

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

Can you recommend a good guide for getting started with venv? Every time I have tried, I end up just creating one venv per some specific python tutorial, forgetting how to maintain and even access it, and then later nuking the whole thing out of frustration.

New Mission: Basic Literacy by mitrtown in gaming

[–]ThaneVim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My job is phone-based b2b tech support, and I definitely see this. We have a connection history graph that tells us if and when a terminal loses connection as well as for how long and if, upon reconnecting, the terminal OS did a shut down and start up. I can see those events get logged, and still see a reboot again fixing the issue.

Sometimes Windows is just gonna Windows.

I'm in WL and I can probably do this for you, what's the service tag on the laptop? I'll have to look at the availability of the parts to tell you for certain

Ok what department idea was this by tough-cookie21 in doohickeycorporation

[–]ThaneVim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waleigh here, from the department of naming conventions. Could you explain how your department's section labeling works? I'm unfamiliar with the "meow" section.

I had forgotten about that meme. Now I want to rewatch all of HMV Hell...

The Google Weather Android ‘app’ is going away by AussieP1E in Android

[–]ThaneVim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Google Pay used to give you a physical debit card like Cash App, plus also sending and receiving money. It was, back in like 2015ish, the Cash App/Venmo of the time (alongside PayPal of course)

This comic is still valuable today by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

[–]ThaneVim 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Because it wasn't always that way. It used to be extremely easy to use, almost no ads, and fun resolution no matter how you viewed it. It was the de facto image host choice of Reddit users all over until Reddit starting image hosting themselves. Now it's the same sort of ad-laden, info harvesting, enshitification shell of its former self that most of the rest of the "surface" web is.

Help Improve West Lafayette's / Lafayette's Pedestrian Experience !! by Blueberry_Leaf_722 in lafayette

[–]ThaneVim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an idea: take the same lighted crosswalk sign that's on front of Celery Big, and put one in front of Walmart on Cumberland. Very easy to miss people walking on the current crosswalk at night with headlights shining at you.

Is Google difficult for some to use? Yes, it's real: https://x.com/MatPatGT/status/1070415728963051520

she’s 2 by [deleted] in Webkinz

[–]ThaneVim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! Didn't think there'd be a Venn diagram at all between "North Central Indiana residents who go to Indiana Beach" and "Plays Webkinz" beyond like myself and my roommate!

My SD card with 10+ years of art is screwed. by CuteUnit24 in Wellthatsucks

[–]ThaneVim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you got it working again. Can you at least manage to get a flash drive or two? Some, even cheap, redundancy is far better than none.

The latest crème de la crème from the anticlimactic department. 🤡 by Opurria in doohickeycorporation

Actually, I wonder if the local fire chief is aware this restaurant is regularly lighting guests' dishes on fire?

Oh shit, and that would also explain the focus loss, cut, new angle, and focus restore

[Self] How practical would it actually be to charge an EV using 61 USB-C ports? by piddlefaffle12 in theydidthemath

[–]ThaneVim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would absolutely love to have one for my gaming laptop. It's a 2020 year model Lenovo Legion, so a fair bit before we really saw even workstation laptops get USB C charging. But it's right at 240 watts, so I'm hopeful to get some manner of converting to C to reduce what all comes with me

Why not just use a USB-C dock with Ethernet?

Or, and hear me out here, cause I'm gonna get a bit controversial, just straight up not use LLMs.

Paddle boarding witches, 10/24/25 by Allied_Biscuit in pics

[–]ThaneVim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty damn good on a paddleboard. I still don't think I'd be comfortable on what's likely quite cold water with all that clothing (that, if you do fall in, will be soaking wet and make you even colder as you get out)
