Works with anything plugged into the wall. Software developer most of the time. Helped start a makerspace once.
Will talk about Linux, plants, space, retro games, and anything else I find interesting.
What did you use to do so?
Yeah my positive take is this might be a good excuse for people to think of repairability again.
Because, you know, if very little new chips being made in the near future, we are going to have to.
I would love to get a fairphone. Its just 4x the price of everything else. I cant possibly afford it here in the US.
Ive done that but just wifi. It works. Its more of a “for fun” kinda deal. I cant get rid of my smart phone because of a couple of necessary apps for work.
The CPAP lockout is something I went through. The company behind my CPAP does not allow you to get ANYTHING off the device. But there is an SD Card that you can get all the info you want from your old system. Its arbitrarily locked out.
You are also unable to repair anything on the device without insurance getting involved. And insurance is often at OEM prices (think 200+ for a basic mask). Thankfully, people have illegally added STLs/chips/parts/etc… online that you can basically reverse engineer the entire device nowadays. As long as you use medical safe materials, it saves you literally thousands of dollars. Ive replaced quite a few parts and the device is still working after many years of usage.
My last bastions of Google are:
Ironically their search has taken a turn for the worse, so other sites are much better in my opinion.
I pay other sites for creators. So for me $$ isn’t the issue. Not when premium is less than 20.
The biggest issue with YouTube for me is that their ads are very intrusive/track quite a bit about what you do/can actually be malware. On addition, there’s a good chance that money is mostly going to YouTube and not the people creating their works. There’s a reason patreon is a thing for most successful creators. I also hate ads. I don’t hate people getting paid, I hate YouTube for shoving ads down my throat and then turning around not paying people their dues. And in my opinion the worst way possible.
Yep here’s mine https://imgur.com/a/FS4d5e9
The plastic on the bottom that connects to the hinge is warped. If they put a tiny bit of metal like some dells it would help them.
I’m not seeing any ads on any computers today I think I may have been part of the ab testing. Fun times.
Just fyi, there plastic can be pretty bad. I have two of their laptops and they use very cheap plastic. Both have the hinges messed up. I can’t take them anywhere anymore.
Love popos and their desktops, but until they fix their laptops, I wouldn’t buy one of them again.
I’ll give it a shot. Thanks. It was strange yesterday nothing, today all ads.
RSS is still king when it comes to feeds. I know I just stumbled on: https://httpstatusdogs.com/ which is funny.
In my local area, a lot of the people that were violent went to the Jan 6th and got arrested. So they are still in jail. I’m not seeing the ralleys like I did last time. Its interesting. The signs are still there, but it feels like a more “normal” election. But thats just my local area, no idea what others are experiencing.
I remember back in the day, there was programs that would identify ads and remove them off on air programs. I would imagine something like that would be possible. Although at that point, just skipping the “platform” altogether might be a better solution.
It will probably be the same as when he lost last time.
If it doesn’t goodbye Youtube. I love the creators, but hate you as a platform.
I think I found a good alternative https://github.com/sourcegit-scm/sourcegit
Playing around with it now.
Yeah its really too bad how Youtube treats other video creators. Its a strange world. Hopefully peertube (given enough time) will have some viable options or at least an alternative. Is there any other platforms that work with video creators like yourself? I personally dont know of too many other than maybe twitch? I haven’t been keeping up.
Im seeing it from a residential IP. I think its more they have an allowlist rather than a blocklist nowadays. But I can only speculate. Piped stopped working a month or so ago on my personal instance and updates dont fix it. I can imagine for video uploaders, the issue is worse.
Ah gotcha. I’m on cell so it just looks unformated text.
