  Yeah I’ve personally seen it do shit like that a few times. Its been a bug for awhile, don’t know if its fixed or not but I’m on CoMaps now and actively contributing to OSM

  One time back in AP physics on a test I was prompted with “Find the accelerating force on the electron”. I could not think of the way to do that in the moment, so I literally wrote No, and wrote down a fake answer so I could use that number for the next part of the problem. I got back the test a few days later and the teacher wrote a smiley face down there. Apparently I made her laugh so long and so hard her family had to check in on her so she just gave me the points.

  My mom visited me once and asked me why I didn’t set the time on the stove, since, you know, it’s a clock. “Mom, I have never once gone ‘oh man what time is it? I better check the stove.’ Especially after I had a smartphone on me all the time”

  Years ago in collage my mom tried to dump her old CRT TV on me with a roku.

  “we’re leaving this tv with you”

  “I don’t want it, if you leave it here I am throwing it out”

  “Oh son you could use it to watch netflix”

  “or mom i could watch netflix on my phone, my smart tv, my xbox one, my xbox 360, my ps3, my computer, my other computer, my other other computer all of which would be in high resolution. If you leave that here I am putting it where it belongs, in the trash”

  This is a shortened version of the conversation that went on far too long with me getting more and more annoyed with being given garbage.

  As someone else pointed out, there’s a shit ton of different phones. In 2012 alone, how many different “Samsung Galaxy …” did samsung release? Wikipedia lists 6

  That’s 1 company, with 1 brand name in 1 year. Each with different hardware and as of late those phones have been harder and harder to even open. However, there’s a handful of models of “PS5” standard, slim, pro. They are also very easy to open requiring regular tools your average joe is likely to have, in fact sony encourages this in case you want to upgrade your SSD. It’s a lot harder to keep a system secure if the user can poke and prod the hardware, i mean the Wii’s security was literally beaten by tweezers

  I still love the post where some dude bitches at Tom Morello something like “I liked RatM when you weren’t political” and Tom shot back asking him to name a single song that wasn’t political so he could delete it.

  My last phone before my first smart phone was basically a sidekick (it wasn’t actually a sidekick, but I don’t remember the actual name of it and the sidekick has a similar enough formfactor).

  That thing’s texting keyboard was fucking rad. I could type so fucking fast on that. I really want a smart phone with that keyboard.

  Yeah, we aren’t buying it like maple syrup, although most maple syrup is just corn syrup with maple flavor here, it’s just shoved in to everything sweet.

  Go ready the ingredients list for practically anything sold in a box here and fir some reason HFC is just in there. No reason. Its cheap as fuck.

  Back when metaverse was the hot shit bubble, he was bragging how fortnite is the metaverse and was clearly the future.

  Funny, not a single techbro vould meaningfully distinguish games from the metaverse.

  I wanted to buy one when I saw it in target years ago for dumb reasons, now I want to biy one to tinker with.

  Like dude, those guys hate you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s a profoundly stupid take.

  There’s the famous Whoopi Goldberg quote about how as a little kid she saw it with a black woman not beimg a maid and running around the house screaming about it in celebration

  There’s the famous story about Nichelle Nichols wanting to quit to do plays until MLK jr told her that she needed to stay for black people everywhere to be represented as an equal member of the crew, and it was the only show he’d let his kids stay up late to watch.

  From its inception it’s been “woke” by daring to put both a black woman and an asian man in roles where they were to be treated as equals and valued members of the group.

  I’d like to add more examples, but it’s been so long since I’ve watched any star trek.

  Man, I tried multiple times to get into RDR2. I really want to like it, and I love RDR. But my god that game feels like a job with all the small things you need to remember to do.

  Man, even the gun system annoyed me. I’m fine with them having like 4 slots or whatever it was for weapons, but I remember so many times riding to a mission on my horse, selecting the guns I wanted to use and after like 50 feet Arthur would decide “welp, I’m not using these guns, better shove em back in my horse” leadong me to not having a gun ready at the start of a mission. I think that was the straw the broke the camels back for me, just hold the guns I selected Arthur.

  Fun fact, IE is still on windows 11, and it can be used though not through normal means. To any C#/.NET devs out there, on winforms the “browser” control is IE, and is still supported. Additionally some programs (like my company’s ERP) still can and do launch full standalone IE under certain situations.

  I literally had the “Java is to javascript as car is to carpet” conversation with my dickhead boss. He didn’t get it and I had to explain to him that you don’t drive a carpet to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon witnesses excellent security⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I really don’t understand why they hired me. It was a contract role and they ended it early once they ran out of things for me to do. Last day I drove home laughing the way home I was so fucking happy to leave that place.

  They really sucked afterwards though since they wouldn’t even say if I worked there or not while I was job hunting, so I spent the next few months unemployeed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon witnesses excellent security⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  insert thats the neat part meme

  Eventually it was decided I would write Javascript on a web page I made. Skills I never declaired having I told them I was a java dev.

  Yeah, i worked briefly at multinational japanese motor company and this was their logic. I was hired as a software developer contractor and HQ had rules stating, no open source software, no free software and the one that puzzled me the most no in house executables (WHY THE FUCK DID THEY HIRE ME?)

  It’s all good man. Different people have different wants and needs. Your hands are a bit full with other stuff so setting up an ereader the way I have with mine is just too much om your already full plate.

  Have a wonderful day and I hope you can find a good solution for yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The process isn’t hard or time consuming, but I understand, this sorta stuff isn’t for everyone. I’m just a huge proponent of “this is my device it’ll do as I say”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a Kobo n437, I swaped the internal sd card with a 32gb one and installed InkBox/Quill OS.

  You’ll need a bit of linux skills to use a bigger storage solution to its full potential. The project is currently on hiatus as they port the OS over to the pine64 e-reader.

  Worth noting otherwise, currently pictures in epub formated books don’t load (at least on mine don’t know about other models) so youll want to convert them to pdf.
