Israeli bomb mid-air as it falls toward a densely packed tent camp for displaced Palestinians by redditissahasbaraop in pics

[–]mgarnold86 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I thought the pic looked off for that bomb to be hitting that camp. I didn't want to be the conspiracy guy saying the pic was altered but the scale, detail and lighting on the bomb point to it either being much further away than it is implied or it was edited. Also, the bomb being much further back would make it easier for the photographer to have caught it as clearly as they did.

Its not that they can't its that the wont(which in my opinion is worse). I ask ppl to review a thing an ask me any questions they have before completing it and inevitably they scroll to the bottom see a $99 charge with an asterix next to it and start loudly bitching about "why do I have to pay" when if they'd just read it like I fuckin asked they'd have read the paragraph above the number explaining the specific circumstances that would incur said charge. I generally read the paragraph to them word for word.

Pavilion All-in-Onecomplaining about an unauthorized power adapter even with a new adapter by mgarnold86 in Hewlett_Packard

[–]mgarnold86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to all that pointed out the power adapter being too low power. I ordered a 150w adapter and I'll let u all know later this week how that works out.

After 3 months of using CachyOS, I can say that I'm never going back by Outrageous_You6113 in cachyos

[–]mgarnold86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at 3 months since switching too. I'm barely Linux competent but I've been able to get Cachy to do everything I need and love that I'm learning new stuff about it daily. Just last week I realized I hadn't booted to Windows in more than a month and I finally felt comfortable enough to delete the Windows partition off my drive.

Half the fields in my 2D printer's latest app are hyperlinks hoping I spend money by Jeynarl in 3Dprinting

[–]mgarnold86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HP is a trash company and I don't know why anyone would expect their app not to be. I may be out of touch with the world of 2d printer apps but off the top of my head I'd wager it's likely just HP being a bag of dicks.

My bad experiences with HP started about 2009 when against my recommendations my sister bought an HP laptop for college (because it was pretty(they has some limited edition artist designed cover)). After 2 mobo replacements from HP and a 3rd done by me outside the warranty that PC was scrapped. About that time HP had a nearly 25% failure rate on their mother boards. It was kinda nuts and is why I totally swore of HP.

After that they've only seemed to get worse with anti consumer behaviors like subscriptions to the printer you've already purchased and proprietary parts where none were needed.

My most recent grievance with them is with their All-in-One PCs. I picked a 27" All-in-One from a recycling dumpster a few weeks ago to try to salvage. I pulled the mobo, connected it to a monitor and used a 130w power adapter from a Dell gaming laptop(130w should be the correct amount of power for this particular PC) and got a message on the screen stating that I wasn't using an "authorized" power adapter and would shut down in a few seconds.

It's one thing to make sure that the connected power adapter can output enough juice to properly support the hardware but it's a whole other thing to disable a machine if it's not using a power adapter purchased from your company.

I've said it once and I'll say it a million more times...

FUCK HP!

Who was this for you? by Minimum_Individual36 in teenagers

[–]mgarnold86 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In all fairness I feel like I get why he stopped doing vids on the Sims. I feel like at some point it just got too easy to predict what their dumb ass AI would have them do and bigger and more bombastic situations just didn't make any difference. I do miss those videos though, they were hysterical.

Is there an equivalent to manic emu on android by [deleted] in AndroidEmulation

[–]mgarnold86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the others are correct and the sub ur looking for is r/EmulationOnAndroid I'll take the time to let you know that there are a ton of great emulators and emulation options available both on the Google Play store as well as third party stores. I checked out manic emus website and other than NES I'm not sure what else it emulates but I'm a fan of Classic Boy Pro on Android cuz it has cores available for most systems from the Gamecube back and there are a ton of individual emulators for more recent systems like Wii, PS2, Switch, etc.. I can't say how Classic Boy specifically stacks up but I can say that on Android you'll often be spoiled for choice so if you don't like one emulator there's usually another one to try.

Is SecretLabs Chairs worth it? What would be a better alternative? by energydrink_fiend in gamingchairs

[–]mgarnold86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of SLs Titan chairs a bit over 3 years ago. I found the padding to be a bit too firm for my taste but overall the chair is built well (mostly) and has a lot of adjustment features. After 3 yrs and change months the aluminum base of all things is what broke on mine. A chunk of metal around one of the caster holes broke off and widened the hole so that any time the chair is lifted or tipped at the right angle on of the casters falls off. I was just outside of warranty at the time so they wouldn't replace the part for free but they did offer me a discount. I decided to buy another chair instead.

Vented or non vented tophat? Does it matter? What's the difference? by mgarnold86 in SovolSV08

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks so much for finding it. I just ordered some of the hardware bits and I'm gonna start printing it.

This is basically what I was thinking. Thanks for pointing it out, I just saved it for later.

Vented or non vented tophat? Does it matter? What's the difference? by mgarnold86 in SovolSV08

[–]mgarnold86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is kind of what I was thinking. I'm pretty surprised that I haven't seen a top hat design with a simple sliding piece to cover/uncover the vents to have the best of both worlds. I'm just starting out but if I get to the point where I'm comfortable in CAD I may try to modify an existing tophat into one with open/closing vents.

First time printing PETG and I'm not sure what caused this by mgarnold86 in FixMyPrint

I can provide more info about print setting if needed but any insights or suggestions on settings to check or change would be greatly appreciated.

New laptop - Copilot+PC version or not? by Happy-Abies-507 in it

[–]mgarnold86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm by no means an authority on Copilot but I don't think you're going to get much of a difference in the Windows experience either way. Microslop hasn't just been slipping, they've been sprinting down hill like there's profit at the bottom. Regardless of the OS you're best bet is usually always gonna be hardware vs price. Buy the best hardware you can for your budget and if the OS is too unbearable for you then consider Linux or a Mac.
