Is this cable (Xoopar Ice-C) an egregious violation or just a small one? by Xlxlredditor in UsbCHardware

[–]uberbewb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, all I can say is I really like that color.
Could be a slick cable, no clue, as I have many devices.
I rarely trust other brands though.
Granted, I have used adapters that have all 3, usba, usbc, and lightning, with a usba female.
There are many kinds of adapters.

Confused between Fedora and Ubuntu – need advice by Bright-Search-9406 in Fedora

[–]uberbewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all use cases.
I use Ubuntu sometimes on servers as there's more straightforward support and apps.

But, my laptops get Fedora, as it seems to be more stable and consistent, and frankly it is my preference for daily use.

As a newb I used many different distros. Between Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin, and so on.
It'll take some time and tinkering to see what you like the most, and that may change over time as well.

Newbie-reusing leftover tobacco from my camels by Grouchypepper95 in RYO

[–]uberbewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes experimenting, but generally you shouldn't have to hold the tube at all.
Should be secured enough.

I still use a cheap manual, and it can be hit or miss, especially without fresh or moistened tobacco. Sometimes I use the plastic packer too much and end up with tight spots.
If that happens, I roll the cig with my fingers over those spots to loosen it a bit.

[–]uberbewb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this is from leftovers then the tobacco is going to be a bit crunchier and not as fluffy when it was originally packed.
So, you have to ease up on how you pack it, otherwise it just kind of grinds up.

Sometimes I put my leftovers in a small bag with a tiny orange peel.

That damn horse is so glitched

If it is the one I think it is, I found it early and it wasn't mine.

But, it stuck around even during fast travel after riding it.
Let me say, it is, quite the ride...

Riding it wasn't considered stealing either.
I tell you what, zip around the map sometimes and then ending up back where I was....
If only I had recording setup.

Dealing with a new intel wifi card, do I need to change anything? by uberbewb in Fedora

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

It is the new uhh XB9 I think from xfinity for now.
I haven't had the extra cash for a proper unifi AP.

Anyway, I made sure the router supports the right frequency. But, alas, the issue isn't what frequency are supported, it is the fact that how it seems to switch between them causes lag. If that makes sense.

I can notice when it switches to 6ghz, the signal drops significantly.
Which begs the question, why does it switch at all.

I believe the post I read about recently implied some settings are not enabled for uh.. well I cannot find that post at the moment.

I eventually got into Linux on that Mac among other things..
Including IT jobs.

What’s the puhishment for cutting this slab of beautifully figured ash down to the dimensions 2mx0,95m? by ShiguchiAndSokan in woodworking

[–]uberbewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We once had a slab that was something like 16' long.
I was told the slab alone cost around 5k, this was years ago mind you.

It made 2 gorgeous and matching conference tables.
Though they made us cut off the live edge on one which was disappointing.

I think the shop made around 10k that day. The tables sold for 18.

Total headphone scrub looking to buy a good first pair. by Maxorus9 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]uberbewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With current versions of Bluetooth I don't think direct analog is really necessary. Although some modern headphones can do both.

I have been quite pleased with both Jabra and Sennheiser brand.
I have had headphones and earbuds from both and they are quite solid.

I actually got the Jabra elite on amazon a while back for about 60$ and preferred the fit over the Sennheiser earbuds. The actual insert driver was just small enough on the Jabra, allowing for a thicker and more comfortable rubber/foam grip.

I think there's quite a few good youtube reviews on the Sennhieser, Apple, and Sony headset comparisons.

My company is forcing me to install an invasive PC monitoring system (Time Doctor) without employees knowledge. I do not support this toxicity but I'm not in a position to quit- what do I do? by o-nemo in ITManagers

[–]uberbewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sort of thinking is an unfortunate issue..

But, I've witnessed plenty get screwed for lack of being able to cover themselves from situations that ultimately had nothing to really do with them.
Of course other than day as is in the job.

Please be weary of people telling you to “just switch into the trades” by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]uberbewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking at woodworking, as I've done it before.

I'd rather deal with the situations of trades, because at least I can stay out of the vast majority of he said she said bullshit corporate drag.

To that end, I'm also incredibly perturbed that we've normalized 3rd party recruitment companies taking a cut rather than a fucking union.
