People should see any of those videos of 3rd world countries repairing and refurbishing industrial technology on the street with their bare hands. I even remember someone commented that back in the days of the USSR, they used to salvage the solder off old and broken components too.

The sad thing is, many of these people end up with health issues due to lack of any protection or health standard, yet they also provide a superior service and product that you will never find in a first world country due to the industry opting to trash and buy new.

I’ve personally had to junk a radiator because the cheap plastic at the end broke, and no OEM actually sells the plastic part because it only comes as a whole assembly, even though you can easily delid the radiator to replace it if the subpart could be bought or made.

2025 and people are still treating X as a source of information.

youtube comments section has more reliability than what Twitter ever did

Not making fun of you but I can hear the WB fan typing away at his 90s computer about this lol

Don’t worry, in a few years China will release some comparable and powerful RISC-V processors with some brand new in house fabs.

Although by that point it’ll probably have 300% tariff, so probably stick to TSMC x86 and ARM anyway lol

Dependencies:

Old ass library version from 2004

apt/dnf/pacman: package not found

library package was last available 15 years ago before it was dropped to move to the next legacy version

App package was available right up until last year until it was dropped for development inactivity

Absolutely no one has a compiled version of old ass library

Attempting to compile old ass library results in 30 other old ass package dependencies

How in the actual world was the maintainer compiling this up to last year

latest innovative mario kart.

This is literally the Cars videogame but with Nintetendo IP and Nintendo Proprietary TCP pos p2p online multiplayer.

I used to play that game for free with my friends at the local library 2 decades ago.

Pay to use hardware button that offers 10 FPS pre-skype era fidelity is totally a good thing to show off, and Nintendo has totally never been the only company to notoriously harass, litigate, and shutdown mods, tournaments, homebrew. emulators, fan projects, and literally anyone who so much as so glances at their Intellectual Property.

Utterly delusional

Some beekeepers actually mentioned that they’ve been scraping the beeswax clean off their hives more frequently because its known that the beeswax collects pesticides and herbicides over time which affects the colony due to exposure.

The problem is its not just monsanto acid, there’s a ton of other issues also correlated like weather/climate, seasonal flowering, untreated parasites, bacteria, etc.

We’ve literally nuked the environment so hard that even if we fix one problem, the population will not make a full bounce back (although I would think monsanto is the biggest threat)

Biggest scam of this century was corporate produce monoliths convincing people Organic was about health and not the fact that it doesn’t use a scorched earth policy and scam one off hybrid plant seeds to grow food which has been setting us up for a widespread fammine for decades.

Some random superweed is gonna crossbreed with some rapid out of control growth plant and wipe out half of the food chain.

Hey it could be worse. It could be the completely and utterly worthless MIT license.

3 years before they even allowed sale of 3rd party F-16s and a nonstop barrage about how effective the 90s era surplus we sold to Ukraine was gonna magically win the war.

I got banned from NCD for sharing this sentiment saying that there was literally no outcome where the US would allow Ukraine to join NATO, regardless of the acting government.

Original DS Lite.

I would pay hard money for someone to make essentially a 3DS successor PDA running Linux.

The potential is limitless.

Lol

Also kdenlive was still a pain for me to work with, but that was mostly because of its layout, shorcuts, and wording of some features.

Otherwise yeah, we’ve made it pretty far.

The famous tank man photo? That guy wanted the tanks to stay to make sure the area was safe. He was protesting them leaving. There’s video of him that I guarantee people like you haven’t seen despite it being on YouTube.

Aye man cmon not even the most patriotic Red White Blue American believes the IRS are good guys lol

I said this before on another thread, but the only time sfc /scannow actually did something was when I had a machine with a drive that had a few bad blocks.

And of course it didn’t actually fix anything because a system DLL was corrupt so DISM couldn’t even repair the system, meaning the only solution was to reinstall windows.

Lol you can actually demo a github compromise in real time to an audience.

Make a repo with an API key, publish it, and literally just watch as it takes only a few minutes before a script logs in.

Also TOML lol

You might want to check what the actual hardware is first. You’ll probably be fine, but client 802.11 hardware can sometimes be underwhelming for hosting because they don’t have good stuff like beefed up MuMIMO.

Although that’s assuming you will have a lot of traffic going through it, so you could always just test throughput and latency with iperf to see how well it functions.

I am very slightly annoyed that people haven’t moved onto Opus which gives you better compression and quality than MP3. MP3s are still useful for any older devices that have hardware decoding like radio sets, handheld players, etc. Otherwise, every modern device should support Opus out of box.

Hilariously, x264 has the same problem where there are direct upgrades with H.265 and AV1, but the usage is still low due to lack of hardware accelerated encoding (especially AV1), but like everyone uses FLAC for the audio which is lossless lol.

Thank you for this, I am dumb when it comes to config merge rules because I’ve screwed up ALSA the same way

“How do I do X on Mac”

“First install homebrew, and then install this plugin”

50 plugins later

“There, now I can finally use the GUI”
