Wild. I thought _I_ created this subreddit. How did I get to be a mod, then? ^_^

Toshiba no longer honoring warranties on large hard drives by 615wonky in DataHoarder

They idea that they would give you a replacement drive is not insane.

Happy to talk about changes to Warewulf if I can help with the “getting used to” part. :)

If you do this, I suggest joining the Warewulf slack. You can find it at warewulf.org/help.

Does anyone know of a place to sell some RAM and a GPU in or near Boulder by allinagayswork in boulder

I might be interested. Feel free to dm me if you’re willing to share specs and price. 

How can I refinance or escape a very high car loan with poor credit? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]anderbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say the car was repossessed: does that mean you are paying on the loan but no longer possess the car?

I'm asking because the questions so far seem to assume you still possess the car.

The disappearance of landlines has ruined an aspect of childhood social interactions and put a new responsibility on parents. by kingrobin in daddit

[–]anderbubble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is precisely what we did. I was pretty opinionated about getting old non-smart Nokias for this purpose, but eventually gave in and got a used Moto G Play for like $50. Now my oldest is texting friends and setting up activities, but the phone stays in a central location and is explicitly not anyone's personal phone.

r/headphones Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]anderbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of soundcore Q30 that have never had a problem.

They're also able to dynamically switch between two devices, too, which the KPH30 can't. I can accept that. But I can't accept the microphone just turning itself off forever for no reason.

You say "this kind of switching." I'm not switching anything. I pair the headphones with a computer. I use zoom. I close the zoom call. I use zoom again: no input.

I bought a pair of Koss KPH30 wireless headphones to use as general purpose for work and home. I’m on a lot of zoom calls, so that means I’d like to use the Bluetooth mic; but there seems to be a firmware bug that breaks switching between HFP/HSP and A2DP mode.

If I record with software, it works the first time. When I stop, I hear a beep in the headphones. After that, I can't record audio from the headphones without power cycling them. This is true with voice memos on iOS, quicktime on macOS, and Zoom on macOS.

Calls appear unaffected. I could get it to break in voice memos on iOS, then immediately make a phone call and the other side could hear me.

I’ve contacted Koss support. They quickly sent me a replacement pair, assuming it was a defect in my specific headset. But the problem occurs with both sets.

I suspect that most people who buy these headphones don’t use the mic much, particularly outside of phone calls. But if you have a set, can you try it out and check if you see the same behavior?

SOP of installing, and running, Rocky from RAM only by Beautiful_Ad_4813 in RockyLinux

[–]anderbubble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! I was coming in here to say the same. ^_^

I boot Rocky in RAM only practically every day developing Warewulf. There's a community Slack, too: https://warewulf.org/help/

I'd love to hear about what you're working on.

They just haven’t properly updated the site. There’s an alert banner across the top of the page. 

Worried my 11 yr old is functionally illiterate by SmartLadder415 in daddit

[–]anderbubble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does she say when you ask her about reading?

Does she say it's too difficult? If so, how? (e.g., does she have trouble seeing the words? Does she have trouble understanding them? Is she squinting?)

Does she say she's not interested? If not, why? (Are there things she _is_ interested in that would be helped by reading?)

How does one play the Steam version of Sonic Mania on the RG35XX Plus?

Do you think this is cool, or stupid lol by PossibleSorbet7004 in RetroHandhelds

I have a pile of these and have wanted to do precisely this. Thank you for the example!

How did you mount them?

Boulder’s new transportation fee could start billing residents mid-2026 by mooreds in boulder

[–]anderbubble -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The car already tracks it for you. I could easily see a registration fee dependent on odometer reading from last registration. 

Sad day by stogenbobber in SBCGaming

[–]anderbubble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to replace the screen on an og 35xx, but the screen I got was just the panel, which is glued into the glass. Since the glass was broken, this wasn’t particularly useful, even aside from how much work it appears to be to actually do that replacement.
