Hopefully just survivors of the lead epidemic.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Part of maturing as someone who insists on solutions when confronted with complaints from others is acknowledging that those complaints aren’t necessarily put out there to be solved, and sometimes they just want to let you know they’re unhappy to lower the expectations of them for a while or to vent. If all they want is to be left alone or vent, insisting on solutions is akin to criticism when they need it the least.
- Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 1 week ago:
To the biggest degree it’s comfort elsewhere and numbers attracting numbers. To a smaller but still substantial degree it’s the same reason the top 3 phone brands have less customization and a more plug and play experience than rooted phones. It solves a huge amount of the problems with Reddit, but reddit is simpler to join, simpler to understand, feels more secure, and has so many communities and active users that even inactive communities can look active by how many people mistakenly post there.

Depends on the OS. They can be chopped down by removing windows aero / transparency features among some other memory hogs, plus if it has an nvme then virtual memory can do some fast enough heavy lifting. That being said, I think the last OS Microsoft made that could run functionally on 4gb without significant virtual memory useage is Windows 8 and I wouldn’t wish that experience on you, nor recommend it for security reasons. If you use Linux you probably won’t need to upgrade for a long while with that easy workload.
My pi 5 acts like a normal decent computer on Linux builds but windows would crunch it.

It may not be within your control, but laser printers are infinitely more reliable for small batch printing.
- Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 1 week ago:
Lol nope, black altima. No doubt they didn’t fix it though, I kinda doubt they have a single mechanic across their entire business. Interestingly in Peurto Rico they have a contract with pep boys to fix their cars so you never have to return them to the station. When the only one we ever saw was in San Juan that was appreciated.

Yikes, I wouldn’t drive that either
- Comment on Busted box inside of a pristine Amazon box 1 week ago:
I’m getting better at it. Unfortunately still end up getting a lot drop shipped from them.
- Comment on Busted box inside of a pristine Amazon box 1 week ago:
Lol I just found it funny. I know a few people, mostly people from Mexico, that prefer instant. It’s weird but all the power to ya. The only crappy thing about it is that it’s harder to avoid nesco and similarly evil companies when you do that.
- Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 1 week ago:
All you really can do. They’ll usually say they don’t have one and you’ll just have to call around. Big headache overall
- Comment on 4 leaky tires on the same rental, overfilled to compensate 1 week ago:
Some of these newer alloy wheels are harder to mount. If you let them know there’s a history of leaks on that tire they may apply tar to the rim which can go a long way. My car has had a lot of issues on one tire until I found the right mechanics, ironically they were also the cheapest (small business who specialize in used tires). Later after getting new tires the problem went away without the tar, so I think it comes down to surface prep.
- Comment on Busted box inside of a pristine Amazon box 1 week ago:
Maybe I’m snobbish, but instant vs drip vs French press vs americano all taste different and Americano is so much better it was this or a bialetti moka express. My wife said she’d never use the stove top one and I’ve made over 10,000 espresso shots so far, so I’d wager I would have eventually caved in and bought a super automatic anyways. It may have paid for itself in electricity tbh.

- Comment on Annoying dark pattern where no means maybe later 3 weeks ago:
It’s very telling that despite changing to the “settings” menu for user settings, they’ve still got links to the old menus 10+ years later. I think the powertoys community has done more windows feature adds than Microsoft has in the last 20 years.
- Comment on If Microsoft ended Windows 10 support, why is it still getting updates like every other day? 3 weeks ago:
Just going out on a limb, but with windows 11 being so similar to 10, it would make sense to continue to port updates over to 10 that are fully compatible. That being said, feature updates are over.
- Comment on Is re-visiting a place of trauma a good idea? Have anyone done it? 5 weeks ago:
I know most internet people are ready to offer psychological advice at the drop of a hat, but this is really a question for a therapist because every situation is different and we don’t know your struggles even close to enough to speculate.
This doesn’t seem like something to rush into, personally.
- Comment on Would it be correct to say that enshittification is the physical manifestation of the economic ai bubble bursting? 5 weeks ago:
Definitely a symptom, not the cause or the singular cause. It’s very telling that everyone could see that AI, like robotics, was instead of being a boon for workers having to work less hard, obviously a harbinger of mass layoffs. People understand this system and know the ones in charge of its effects hate us and want us to die.
- Comment on Help figuring out my pressure washer? 1 month ago:
Probably worth a warm soap soak or maybe vinegar treatment to reduce any calcium build up in the head. Electrical-wise you could bypass the circuit to power the motor and see if it spins okay with either a variac or a variable dc power supply depending on what motor it is. If it still stalls then could check brushes/any gearing jammed up. If it doesn’t stall then I suspect a overcurrent or thermal protection circuit is triggering. Could be corrosion on the board, a heatsink coming loose, or simply a jam you can’t see. Lots of possibilities, but people who work specifically on these would know more about the most likely things.
- Comment on Richest American to FAFO? 1 month ago:
Brian Thompson and Alex Jones are the only example of a rich people falling from grace because of people in a different class that I can think of. Most examples like Elizabeth got clapped because they played class warfare tactics against their own team. Grifting is only allowed against the poor, otherwise it’s called securities fraud.
- Comment on Richest American to FAFO? 1 month ago:
Third option, he manipulates the stock and crypto markets and nobody bats an eye, netting huge sums of wealth.
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 2 months ago:
Be careful chasing the acidity of energy drinks. Full throttle is around 2 pH, not so good for your teeth or stomach health.
- Comment on why can't a PC-laptop boot without datetime? 2 months ago:
TPM chip relies on it for security. If you’re not using that it would work but you’d still have network issues.
- Comment on Trump Justice Dept. Closed Investigation Into Tom Homan for Accepting Bag of Cash 2 months ago:
Genocidal and some how dumber porky pig is also corrupt? When bad guys in movies behave like this, it’s deemed unrealistic because of cartoonish evil…
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 2 months ago:
If you’re going to utilize the interface for apps then LG or Samsung, if not, then it doesn’t matter much, try and get the equivalent panel if you can afford it in one of the brands that uses LG and Samsung panels. The biggest difference going with big brands is upscaling performance and menu smoothness.
- Comment on Were both parties cheated on? 2 months ago:
Liz wasn’t cheated on, but definitely got the better end of this deal by no longer being with Asher. She’ll see that in time. Asher cheated on the BF full stop, it’s a good lesson in what liars will do to get what they want at others expenses.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
I think the line is when the primary bread winner is your tenant. Covering costs of mortgage only is a nice thing to do, profiting off of them beyond the mortgage is exploitation. That’s the difference, your assertion at the end is highly dependent on how they choose the rates for said houses and whether they profit off the work of others in that transaction.

This is as close as I could get within the data given.

I’m not sure if it’s still around, but Alcohol 120% used to be great for bit for bit copying to iso
- Comment on Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber. 4 months ago:
You don’t need anything special to buy those packs. The dye is made to appear black and easy to wash off, but it’s actually ultraviolet pigmented and nearly impossible to wash off.
That being said, the vast majority of banks I’m familiar with just have known serial straps and/or GPS tracker straps that activate when lifted out of the drawer. Ink is a bit old-fashioned. Especially with network connected counters, it’s easy enough to flag appearances of know serial bills and most robbers aren’t checking the money for lumps from a GPS pack.
