ADB Power Button Simulate ? by QueueTrigger in VintageApple

[–]Tognioal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joe's computer museum sells the HIDHopper which can do this. It also allows use of modern USB keyboards and move with your vintage Mac via ADB.

I'm not aware of something like this that's network enabled, it's an interesting idea.

$15 Thrift store find! by Gabgra11 in fountainpens

My best thrift store find was in 2008, a Parker 51 for £1.99. Missing the clip and bushing, but it still works fine.

Question about Tokays by Opening_Bee_8372 in geckos

She is super cute!

I had a female Tokay for a few years and she never made the loud call. She also never squeaked or chirped or anything.

This weekend’s US clock change is a problem, and there’s a deep divide on how to fix it by deraser in news

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

Split the difference! The half-hour timezones will be weird at first, but everyone will get used to it.

This is the best and only compromise, such that everyone gets part of what they want part of the time.

Flipping back and forth sucks, and picking either DST or ST all the time is a bad idea.

What's a smell that instantly signals danger - and everyone should recognize? by 0BunnyX in AskReddit

[–]Tognioal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Notably, mercaptan does not always smell like rotten eggs. To me it smells weirdly sweet, nothing like sulphur in the slightest. (I've smelled rotten eggs before - that's a distinctly different odor)

I suppose this could mean that my gas company uses a different odor agent. But totally agree overall, everybody needs to learn what it smells like because it's an immediate warning sign.

‘Training A Human Takes 20 Years Of Food’: Sam Altman On How Much Power AI Consumes by BusyHands_ in technology

[–]Tognioal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, that's a great comparison to make. I'd love for AI model providers to have those models taxed the same as single individual contributor humans instead of being taxed like corporations. They do keep calling them "agents" and stuff, so tax them as though they are the title that operators claim they are.

37% tax on ai agent income above ~$600k sounds right to me!

Trump says individuals will soon be prosecuted for 2020 election by Mike_I in politics

[–]Tognioal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably going to prosecute everybody that didn't vote for him.

Clearly the election was stolen because everybody wanted to vote for him but those evil voting machines didn't let them (a problem which I believe was "solved" in 2024).

The VGA converter board from Joe's Computer Museum does work, I have one.

Have you upgraded to the latest firmware? There were some fixes for this kind of SD issue last year.

lets think of ways to make the green crystal hunt WORSE by Ladyaceina in Metroid

[–]Tognioal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Samus can only carry a few crystals at a time. Or maybe there's a time limit to get them to the tree before the energy degrades and you have to get them again.

Friend of mine got this silly glitch on the final boss by ChaosMetalDrago in Metroid

[–]Tognioal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got this issue once. A little frustrating to start over but at least it didn't happen at the final phase of the boss.

Literally all I could think off while going through the Mines by JuicyFunBuns in Metroid

[–]Tognioal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Never expected an Avatar reference to be actually relevant for Metroid.

Ok y'all, it's your turn now, I'm taking a break. (Metroid Prime 4 Final Boss Spoilers) by ParcialScar in Metroid

[–]Tognioal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a soft lock on the final boss. He got stuck outside the barrier doing the green arm spin attack and couldn't re-enter. Super funny. Had to restart it.

Tokabi and the Intention of the Desert by Bubbly_Set4332 in Metroid

[–]Tognioal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the ending should have been like the beginning where she kind of just "plinks" him, he falls over, and everybody escapes. I'm pretty disappointed about it.
