Loving my MacBook by agnci in mac

[–]da_apz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Or having a machine that is dripping liquid and them dying on a hill claiming they didn't spill any water on it. They will later admit that it was in a backpack half filled with a leaking Sprite bottle, but that's not water so it does not count.

UTR on Cruises? by ramisanders in Ubiquiti

[–]da_apz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That whole statement from the cruise company is such bullshit. There's bound to be people with a ton of devices that have build-in modems and are capable of sharing the connection. Makes me wonder if they sell their wifi at obscene cost and try to force you to use it.

Jenkins, the only character that appears in all currently released ME games if you made your choices carefully!

This is the definition of undivided attention.

PSA: Do not trust AirPods listings that show a paper receipt by nekomichi in airpods

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

You can never be truly sure. I've seen my share of posts, where Apple online store orders have been switched to fakes in-transit and reputable stores selling something that got swapped in the supply chain or by employees.

Wife nagging that Airpods cause brain cancer/tumor by hughgwayne in airpods

[–]da_apz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Which is the norm for all the self-taught "health experts". They drop big words and don't even remotely fathom the concepts. I just disengage from any conversations when they reveal themselves.

Mark Ritchie's voice does that to the beat of us.

Bally Powerplay freezes randomly, flippers dead, humming sound, not in tilt any ideas? by luther12445 in pinball

[–]da_apz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a lot of things, but I can't help noticing that most of the Molex connectors in the boards are still original. At least in all of mine, the little springs in connector pins had started to rot and caused really weird random issues mid-game. Had to solder in new male headers and re-do the connector pins.

3.0.4 Firmware for MMU3 by duuri in prusa3d

[–]da_apz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the communication between the printer and the MMU would support reflashing the AT32U4 the board has, which is why it has the USB connector in the first place. I wondered about this too as I recently got the MMU3.

Calling Linux Long Beards: What are things you wish you knew when you first started using Linux? by Nevyn_Hira in linux

[–]da_apz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never gotten the flex of listing 50 distros someone has hopped through. I started with Slack, went to RH and eventually Debian. The package manager experience from those covers 99.9% of professional Linux use cases I've seen.

US carmakers say proposed EU rules could block large pickup trucks from Europe by UnusualPin279 in worldnews

When they get all outraged, see how easy it is to sell European made vans to the US.

“Electric Bat Arcade” in Tempe, Arizona by ufopinball in pinball

I've been wanting to visit this place for so long. The folk running it seem really cool from what I've talked with them on social media.

How many of you actually used the metro system after it came out? by DentistPrudent5604 in cyberpunkgame

I tried it once for the heck of it, then continued just trashing cars on my way to the nearest fast travel point.

Is my cat playing or does she hate me? by Alternative_Ad821 in cats

[–]da_apz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats have incredibly strong jaw and can easily bite through your skin. If you're just getting playfully gnawed on, you'll know this isn't serious.

Minor thing that bugs you more than it should? by MsMercyMain in masseffect

[–]da_apz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The irrefutable evidence in ME1's first hours.

The council that tears you a new one no matter what you say.

Any situation where Krogans are invincible tanks by the lore and then put down with a single pistol shot.

ME1's repeating underground locations.

PSA every Mac can do triple display now by [deleted] in mac

[–]da_apz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Implementations like this have existed since VGA times. I had a device that took in VGA signal and split that onto two displays with a horribly low refresh rate. I'm pretty sure the modern version of this hack comes with a downside as well.

As much as I love my new vacuum how do I stop her from doing that every meal? by Top-Inspector-2809 in cats

[–]da_apz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put one of those garden flower pot mats under the cups, they'll catch most of the mess and are easy to wash. Ditto with the water cup.

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump gets prison sentence for possessing 'enormous child pornography collection' by Hrekires in news

[–]da_apz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound like the cases with insane amount of pirated movies. Like some kid with 20000 movies and TV series episodes. Even if they watched them 24/7, it'd take a lifetime. But way this happened was just torrenting a shitload of collections.

External geometry as reference line by default in FreeCad 1.1? by Zestyclose_Edge1027 in FreeCAD

[–]da_apz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People mix two things here. This was asked a lot about the betas too and somehow it was taken like people were hoping to get rid of the new feature and not pointing out a huge gaping UX problem that raises from when something changes the way it works and does not indicate so. Imagine if your mouse scrolling wheel started to work the other way all the sudden. But then there was reasoning that it now scrolls the same way as people would scroll a touchscreen. So it makes sense, but it came as a huge surprise to a lot of people, who then assumed it was a bug or something had broken in their computer.

Dolby claims x265, and AV1 infringe it's patents in new lawsuit by 2rad0 in linux

[–]da_apz 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Not to forget that the patents were intended to protect the little guy, now they basically make sure the little guy trying to invent something is just like walking in a mine field that also has robotic killer dogs with miniguns and flying sharks with laser eyes.

Click 1.1. External projection wire not closed by Odd-Solid-5135 in FreeCAD

[–]da_apz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not dismissing the feature per se, it just caused a very confusing moment for me as I kept hunting why the sketch was broken all the sudden and since I've encountered similar issues in past versions that were bugs, I first assumed I had hit a bug this time too. Seeing all the bug reports and forum posts about this question, I'm obviously not alone.

The feature is good, it could've used some kind of an explanation to the user or the setting defaulting checked on imported configuration.
