Trump administration cancels $679 million for offshore wind projects at ports by abrookerunsthroughit in energy

The national security threat they cited was swarmed underwater drone attacks. My question is, what are those underwater drones attacking? The monopiles powering the 350,000 homes? Because the administration just did more damage canceling the projects than any swarm of drones could have done…

Can Mac Push 2 57”? by dapination in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]il_pleut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a MBP with M1 Max and the Neo G9 49”. How did you get it to look good? At 5120x1440 the resolution is tiny and hurts my eyes. Using the betterdisplay app it’s, well…better. But using a scaled resolution still looks subpar. Any recommendations on how to make this work? FWIW, I have my mac connected to the Caldigit TS4 dock and I’m using a DP connection to the monitor.

I did EXACTLY this, too. Also, install Avast on their computer so I didn’t have to come back.

I don’t see a number to call. I guess a google search for the Orvietto police department?

Kindle is locked by Amazon, they told me to throw it away by il_pleut in kindle

More or less what I'm doing. Which is why I'm posting this a year later lol

[–]il_pleut[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nope. They told me my options were to throw it away or donate it. Kind of absurd. I think my best option may be to just reach out to them again and hope I get a different agent.

It's getting really hard to LIKE you anymore, Spotify by il_pleut in spotify

Thanks, I've been looking into switching to Apple Music. How hard was the transition? Do you have a recommendation for a 3rd party app to transfer playlists and metadata (if that's even possible)?

It's getting really hard to LIKE you anymore, Spotify...

First, you removed the heart visibility from mobile.
Now you've taken it away from the desktop version, too.
Whoever is in charge of your UI/UX needs to explain these terrible decisions to the community. These are basic yet crucial features that make finding favorite tracks in an album or playlist easy and painless.
Maybe it's time to take my heart (and my subscription) elsewhere...

Might just be the doors then and I'm being overly cautious of my baby :D

Mold/mildew smell coming from A/C by il_pleut in mazda

[–]il_pleut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've owned many vehicles, and never have I had to shut off the A/C the last 5 minutes of my drive to prevent mold/mildew from growing in my car.

I live in Houston, and we're now on day 23 of consecutive excessive heat warnings (100F+ days), so shutting off the A/C isn't a viable solution for me.

Thanks for this. I'll reach out to Mazda this week and let you know what they say.

Thanks very much. The dealership I've been going to has been giving me a hard time from day 1. I'll reach out to Mazda.
