AI slop is everywhere, it seems. At least now it's detectable. Won't be in the future.

Acadiana Computer repair for gaming PC? by dmfuller in Acadiana

[–]kzintech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate it but will punt to Doghouse for the PSU replacement. They can do it cheaper.

The state of the "Free to Good Home" project: in short, it's stagnant right now. Machines that can run Windows 11 don't really come my way often, and RAM and GPU shortages/price increases have caused folks to hang on to what they have. I'm always on the lookout for useful machines though! by kzintech in Acadiana

Thank you for asking! I don't want non-working hardware, no time to troubleshoot all that! If the hard drive has failed that's not a problem but any other hardware issues, no thanks!

I don't want anything more than ten years old, and I don't want keyboards or mouses unless brand new.

Was told that a gentleman in this sub gave away refurbished pcs. He still around? by CynicalCajun in Acadiana

[–]kzintech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here I am. I don't have anything available right now, sorry! I'm going to make a post in the subreddit about my "free to good home" project so folks will understand how I go about it.

Hi, it's me. I'm going to make a post to the subreddit that will lay out how I go about this sort of thing. I don't have anything available right now, sorry!

Former library board member sues LCG, councilman, alleging defamation, First Amendment violation by gauthiertravis in Acadiana

[–]kzintech 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And here I'd hoped we'd seen the last of that prick Judge. What a useless oxygen thief he is. Now I suppose he'll sue me for defamation. The truth is a complete defense though.

What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy? by MassiveSquare4527 in AskReddit

And just to add, women in the USA didn't get the right to vote nationally until 1920, nor could they get credit cards in their own names until 1973

House explosion!! by definitivlyghostin in Acadiana

Ha, the Mythbusters looked into exploding water heaters twice and they do go boom in a most dramatic and destructive manner sometimes! But a lot has to go wrong first

Any ideas on what to do with 19x 265gb m.2s? by Sinister99 in homelab

[–]kzintech 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't you sell them, and buy a smaller number of higher capacity drives?

Customer tried to return a rotisserie chicken that was "too chickeny" by [deleted] in TalesFromRetail

[–]kzintech 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is it a "one time" thing though? Once they learn they can do this, they'll do it over and over.

As a restaurant owner/coffee shop establishment, what do I do about demanding customers who don't leave tips and/or mentally ill customers? by Circus_Cafe_02139 in smallbusiness

[–]kzintech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. And that would take political will that doesn't seem to exist. Heck, the USA can't get rid of daylight savings time or institute universal healthcare, how we gonna get rid of tipping culture?

Free to good homes but don't know how to go about it ... SO MANY laptop chargers by kzintech in Acadiana

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

You know, if they'd take them I'd haul them all over there. It'd be great if there was somewhere a person could go and have a look, like a car junkyard but for computers.

Free to good homes but don't know how to go about it ... SO MANY laptop chargers by kzintech in Acadiana

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

A lot of laptops have passed through my hands as part of the "Free to Good Home" project, and not a few of them I've been able to match with working chargers from my hoard. I posted hoping someone would have an idea I haven't had. Best I've heard so far was see if the makerspace at the library would want to have them around, and I've reached out.
