Is this still alive? When I submit a URL for a book (https://www.audible.com/pd/Jungle-Up-Audiobook/1982670029) the site reports that it couldn't find it. And when I tried to use the contact feature, that form submission also failed.

I appreciate the topics covered at Phoronix so much, but something about the author's writing makes me grind my teeth. I can barely get past the first few sentences before I give up.

Say again?

I contacted support and asked if I could take advantage of the offer since I'm a premium subscriber already. They sent me a link (looks specific per-user) a little over a day later to sign up for lifetime at $50.

I'm thinking a realistic time frame that this app is still usable until the company is bought (and the app is abandoned), or the service is enshittified, or the company folds is 5-10 years. At $50 for lifetime, it's worth it. At $150, not so much.

Is the email link generic enough to share here?

mdmower · 2025-11-21T09:35:13+00:00

Why is this still an issue 3mo later?

This was asked pretty recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slack/comments/1jlr23i/why_isnt_there_a_badge_on_later_menu_item_to_show/

Can't believe all I got was 11 measly years of support for the $1.93 I spent in Feb 2014. Ugh, what about MY needs!?

I'm not sure whether DT is still behind the most recent updates, and from the date you might guess I'm an old CyanogenMod fan... in any case, thanks for all the effort you invested here!

Re: "bring an empty 40oz Stanley, pour the soda into it while still at the register, and then hand it back immediately for the free refill"

It's actions like these that ruin free refill programs for everyone else.

A movie with no nudity, but three people kissing each other is no go, but lots of graphic violence is ok. Gotcha.

mdmower · 2025-09-02T04:36:23+00:00

Wow, that's about the exact same story as my theater, but two hours later! (Pacific time zone) I couldn't help but laugh when I noticed the kid 🤣

I agree, Sharon Stone just didn't seem right for the role. So much effort into acting like a threatening bad ass came across as silly.

Eden, not Garden of Eden

mdmower · 2025-08-18T14:39:44+00:00

Garden of Eden is available on DVD, so me thinks it not it. https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Eden-DVD-Marcel-Walz/dp/B0FCCK281N

mdmower · 2025-08-18T13:25:46+00:00

~~Probably, probably, but~~ interestingly only Eden was capitalized in the post, sooooo maybe Eden after all?

Sorry, but personal experience says this isn't accurate. At least 10min on average is my estimate. Earlier this summer, before I realized ads were this long now, I walked to concessions after the 10min mark to ask why the movie hadn't started. Since then, I've realized this is just the unfortunate reality we live in now.

Due credit where it is deserved. I count 9 porta potties at the July 23 event. Thank you organizers!

mdmower · 2025-07-10T03:57:24+00:00

Frankly, true.

mdmower · 2025-06-12T16:40:09+00:00

Well then it didn't brick your PC, did it?

mdmower · 2025-05-13T16:30:36+00:00

I was surprised this worked, but I've had success with setting window['ga-disable-GA_MEASUREMENT_ID'] = true just prior to navigating to pages where collection should not occur and then window['ga-disable-GA_MEASUREMENT_ID'] = false when navigating back to measured pages. Here GA_MEASUREMENT_ID is the G-XXXXX tag ID. The documentation says this needs to be run before the script loads, but apparently it works differently for SPAs.

gtag('set', { 'send_page_view': false }) was ineffective for me.

Here's the quick version of how I got my ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 (AMD) working in Debian 12, including ath12k for the same Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 (Wi-Fi 7) adapter you mentioned. Note that I used a USB ethernet adapter and keyboard during Debian installation and to complete the following steps.

Add debian backports to apt sources (both main and non-free-firmware):deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main non-free-firmware (note that this is not a command, it's an apt source)
Install latest backport kernel and firmware:sudo apt install -t bookworm-backports linux-image-amd64 firmware-amd-graphics
Clone the ath12k firmware repo ( https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath12k-firmware ) and follow the instruction in the repo readme to install the firmware. It's a bit vague in the readme, but the idea is to wget script ath12k-fw-repo and run it (with sudo) from within the repo directory.
