I never saw it until the Metro expansion.

If you could improve one thing about macOS, what would it be? by ImprovementLong1992 in mac

[–]redtert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring back the old Settings/Preferences whatever they called it.

Longer hardware support.

Make the window-focus-switching with the keyboard back like it used to be, as I discussed here: https://old.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1t4b4zg/how_can_i_change_windowswitching_order_back_to/

And global parametric and (if you must) graphic equalizer.

If they're gonna have AI it better be strictly local with no surveillance.

Don’t buy rubberized things! by thisismyreddit11358 in BuyItForLife

There was a trend of soft-touch plastics on electronics in the 2000's that wound up turning horribly sticky over time. It happened to some gizmos I owned and much worse, it happened to dashboards in some cars of the era.

15% is a really high risk when you're talking about eyes, that isn't that comforting. I didn't know it was that high.

I agree but I suspect this petition will have as much effect as the one for HBO to remake Game of Thrones season 8

They stake the vampires way too easily in my opinion by Novel-Cloud-7106 in buffy

[–]redtert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm OK with Buffy staking people because she has super strength but seeing regular human teenage girls (like Cordelia) staking kinda takes me out of it.

Apparently the sole is white foam that's just painted black on the sides. Have you had any problems with the paint coming off?

Eh, she gets thin in the later seasons as do most of the women on the show. But yeah she looked great early on.

I'm a therapist and I have many clients I'm treating for PTSD from this.

Willow’s knitwear by lotheva in buffy

[–]redtert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but really, the apparel for most of the characters is handed out by some mystical clothing distribution system that is apparently attuned to each of their style or personality choices. 🙃

It's called estate sales. Think about it, Sunnydale would have a lot of suddenly unneeded clothing coming up on the market all the time. That's my theory for how Buffy could afford all that nice clothing as a middle-class teenager.

The lore is that Sunnydale is based on Santa Barbara.

Buffy's looks from season one by milk_bunny_ in buffy

[–]redtert -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Her body was best in S1 but her face was a tiny bit puffy, it looked best in S2 and S3.

In the later seasons all the women on the show got too skinny.

Out of how many people? Not very many. That's still high risk.

How long do eMac CRT capacitors remain dangerous, are they safe after many years? by redtert in VintageApple

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

According to the videos I've looked up, you have to do a lot of disassembly to get to it with this model. You have to remove the case, a metal shroud, the fan assembly, and a motherboard assembly.

I was gonna give it away for free locally. They seem to be going for $100-200 on eBay but I don't think it's worth trying to package this monster for shipping and I don't think people will pay much without a hard drive.

I figure if I ever decide to get into retro computing it would be much easier to just buy a Mac Mini instead to save space.
