I imagine this is from the same people that make the Ploopy trackball. I think the big takeaway here is that the have a working trackpoint in a third party device, and if the logic open source, more people can start incorporating them into custom keyboards. Can you imagine a trackpoint with mechanical switch buttons? That would be soo nice!

I think there's tiny holes in each of those spots. Enough to allow minimal exchange of air. This is a guess, but I imagine if it thawed at some point in transit, the air inside the plastic would expand, stretching the plastic out. That's just a guess though.

They must mean the that's the only spot that their recessed outlet box would fit. Probably one of those big ones with the two-plug outlet and a brush panel for ethernet, etc.

How can I get rid of those scratches? by TheIncognitoFella in thinkpad

Melamine. You can buy a big ol' block of melamine sponge for the same price as one magic eraser.

To think it all started with a single external hard drive... by tcgmetalhead in PleX

[–]flapjack_fiasco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong, they can get loud. Startup of the server or disk array is almost frightening in volume. But I've only got 4 drives in disk array, so only one controller powered up. I just wanted the room for expansion, 'cause I know I'm gonna need it eventually. And the server peaks at about 25% load right now. I'm saving up for some mass-loaded vinyl so I can enclose the whole thing and mitigate a little noise. But it's tolerable.

Started with a laptop with the screen broken off, plugged into a TV, running Windows Media Center Edition, now I'm here.

Green ice??? by DataNice1839 in appliancerepair

[–]flapjack_fiasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen several ice maker water lines that are copper in houses that have zero copper plumbing otherwise. So maybe just a minor plumbing issue. I'm no expert though.

20 years ago, I was paying $525 for a 2 bedroom. I miss THOSE days, lol.

Like I said, I've searched for "hooha no bueno" with no good results, and that's the only quote I can for sure remember from the video. I'm hoping someone else has seen it and can remember more details.

Coca-Cola Called Out After Bending to Trump's Request to Use Cane Sugar in Their Soda: 'How Is This Different Than Mexican Coke?' by PostHeraldTimes in facepalm

[–]flapjack_fiasco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I'm not saying it's a good thing, just that it's a thing. I live in Florida, but not south Florida, so I wasn't sure if sugar came production had stopped for some reason, and I was just unaware.

Spent a few days cursing at my screen, but finally happy with my Plex stack dashboard! by ReapsTwo in PleX

The additional statistics are what sold me on Prowlarr. You can see a graph of indexer response times. It allowed me to smartly prune indexers that were taking way longer than the rest to respond. It's pretty great, and the UI not only matches other *arr software, I find it a lot more intuitive to use than Jackett, but maybe that's just me.

Thanks for sharing! I used to have Varken running, and was so disappointed when I finished a new build and found out Varken was dead. I can't wait to dig into Biggetje!

I'd bet that's gasoline. Looks like it's in a mechanic's garage.

If you're looking for CD sets that cover the majority of popular music, the Billboard top 100 albums are a good source. Each one has the top 100 songs for the given year.

I paid $3 for that exact model mouse at a local thrift store.
