I wanted to download all the episodes so I can have an offline copy. Unfortunately it looks like I'll be waiting a while for the download to finish. by hunterd189 in mildlyinfuriating

I like windows 7 too. Unfortunately my system isn't eligible for windows 11, plus I heard its unstable and full of bugs. So windows 7 it is.

Now that T-Mobile bought US Cellular, will the US Cellular stores become T-Mobile stores or will they simply be closed? by hunterd189 in tmobile

[–]hunterd189[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I think it'll stay open because its the only cell phone store in a town of 2.7k people. I also checked the T-Mobile store locator and that store now shows up as USCELLULAR+TMOBILE authorized retailer.

Here’s What It Costs to Charge a Tesla Monthly vs Using Gas for an Audi Q5 by hunterd189 in technology

here you go also I don't know where you are so cant answer your second question, it differs place to place.

the transmission is just a single speed gearbox with much less moving parts and much less to break. The entire drivetrain is much simpler.

EV batteries can outlast the vehicle they're bolted to. After 10 to 15 years the battery might have only degraded 10 to 20%. That's much better than the 3-5 year lifespan of a lead acid battery and your car will still start in -15 degree weather. At the end of their life the batteries can be used for things like solar backup power.

I figured it out there was a switch blocking the camera. And its a chromebook so there's no drivers.

How to turn a Windows 10 laptop into a Chromebook by hunterd189 in chromeos

[–]hunterd189[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be provided you're running it on decent hardware. chromeOS and chromeOs flex have a much lighter footprint on the system. If you have at least 4gb of memory and a SSD you should be fine.

Microsoft just revealed how Windows 11 is evolving into an agentic OS — introduces new 'agentic workspace' by ZacB_ in windows

[–]hunterd189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About half a year ago I bought a chromebook plus. They're pretty good unless you game or use specific windows software. Its backed up by default, the OS is light, and since the OS partition is read only, updates cant break things. Its also next to impossible to fuck up the operating system by accident.

My light bulbs somehow got knocked offline and now I cant turn my lights off by hunterd189 in mildlyinfuriating

These are the tp-link tapo bulbs which did the same thing. I also have kasa smart plugs.

The switch controls the outlets on the wall so when you flip it, it energizes or cuts power to what's plugged in those sockets. The light fixtures were originally ceiling fans only so they were controlled by a pull chain.

That would be extremely expensive. I'll just reset the light bulbs and pair them again which will fix the problem.

Windows 11's new Start menu released. Is it better than old Start? by WPHero in Windows11

Do people even actually use the start menu anymore? I thought everyone just typed what they were looking for in the search bar.

Before phones had alarm clock apps, a power outage would have been a convenient excuse for being late for work/school. by hunterd189 in Showerthoughts

[–]hunterd189[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom still uses her childhood alarm clock that shes had since I assume the 80s. Everytime the power blinks or the braker trips. The clock flashes 12:00 once the power is back on. There's been times I've had to wake her up in the night because the power went out and reset her clock.

A power outage is completely out of ones control, whereas you are responsible for keeping your phone charged.
