- Comment on Is there a good way to buy chrome lettering in the same font as the brand's original lettering on the back of the car? 4 days ago:
Probably can’t, fonts are copyright protected.
You could find something that looks close though, and just redo the entire badge.
- Comment on Hey, do americans just want to take a break from normal politics for a bit and focus all our efforts solely on the wild boar problem? 5 days ago:
Considering any feral pig has a few kills under its belt and sleeps outside, it’s more likely that you’re level1 and it’s level 8 or 9.
- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 6 days ago:
6ghz is even more fun. They must operate and low power unless a gps transceiver is attached to confirm its not interfering with someone that has a license to operate in that location.
- Comment on Hey, do americans just want to take a break from normal politics for a bit and focus all our efforts solely on the wild boar problem? 6 days ago:
“Legit question for rural Americans – How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?"
- Comment on How would "banning encryption" even work in practise? 1 week ago:
You’d be surprised at how much an off-the-shelf firewall can see and categorize. A purpose built application that regulates/controls the physical network would have no issue with that type of traffic.
- Comment on How would "banning encryption" even work in practise? 1 week ago:
Easy. They would block traffic they can’t decrypt.
They would force a root cert to be accepted that they use to decrypt-inspect all encrypted traffic.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
The line must go up.
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 2 weeks ago:
They will sell repair kits.
- Comment on Why are entertainers paid so much? 3 weeks ago:
Most are not.
- Comment on Is there a less stinky way to cook broccoli? 4 weeks ago:
What’s wrong with your windows.
- Comment on Is there a !remindme bot scooting around lemmyverse? 4 weeks ago:
No! Bad bot!
- Comment on Is there a !remindme bot scooting around lemmyverse? 4 weeks ago:
Most bots are annoying but the remindme bot seems useful.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Run Linux on your machine as a VM.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
It always feels like it’s someone’s hobby and not a mature product.
Fixing nearly anything is digging through a text file that might follow a standard but never the same standard as the last text file.
- Comment on Has America Reached Its Tipping Point with Ignorance? 5 weeks ago:
Only historians can determine if we reached a tipping point.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 5 weeks ago:
Lots of Americans have guns. Not just conservatives.
- Comment on Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet? 5 weeks ago:
Because the phone system is old
It’s also backwards compatible to an extreme:
I remember in the early nineties I found in my grandmother’s antique store one of those old black candlestick phones that you would jiggle to ring the operator. It didn’t have a rotary dial.
I plugged it in and got dial tone. I jiggled the hook and an operator answered the phone and asked me something. I don’t remember if I hung up or talked with them.
When mobile phones came out they improved the system significantly but it was still very much old tech.
Getting the entire world to switch to something better would be quite the undertaking.
- Comment on Is there a word for items that require both hands to use (e.g. game controller, steering wheel, handlebars)? 1 month ago:
Half-quad.
- Comment on What are the possible ways a computer can kill you? 1 month ago:
It could give you bad information on making DIY cleaning chemicals.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Is that ram compatible with the mainboard?
- Comment on Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute? 2 months ago:
I’m not seeing him saying it. He did a “what about” and then blamed the media.
Also those are static images he’s showing. A video of those images would show very different hand motions.
- Comment on Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi? 2 months ago:
There are a few tools in the constitution.
- Comment on how normal is it to snore at 13/14 years old? 2 months ago:
All snoring is bad at any age.
- Comment on On Lemmy is it safe to create a community on a smaller scale when there are other communities already available of the same topic? 2 months ago:
Smaller communities generally have trouble growing. If you were around while Reddit was taking off, they had only a few subreddits to start, and they only created other subreddits when there was a large enough community to support it.
I’d add content to existing community instead of starting a new one.
- Comment on Can someone explain to me how a ventilation fan can suck LESS when on high compared to low? 2 months ago:
Does it exhaust through the wall or just back into the room? Is is set up right?
Every microwave hood that’s come with the apt or home I’ve had has always been installed wrong and has been blocking airflow.
- Comment on Do you think billionaires fear losing their fortune and becoming "a poor"? 2 months ago:
I just saw a post on LinkedIn from a low-rent c-suite that lost their cars and home. Other c-suites were reaching out to help them like I’ve never seen.
Billionaires won’t ever be poor because their peers will help them.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 2 months ago:
Robocop sort of addresses this.
- Comment on Do people still call each other at midnight on NYE? 2 months ago:
Post your phone number.
- Comment on Hypothetically, if you are a witness or whistleblower who's adversary was a very big corporation (such as boeing), what measures could you take to prevent yourself from being "suicided"? 2 months ago:
Psych eval, video uploads, video camera on me at all times with an atty that has access to the recordings.
- Comment on Why did people in the 90s/early 00s say that the internet "couldn't be taken down"? 3 months ago:
Because you literally were calling other computers directly. As long as you had dial tone you had internet.
Also, phone books existed for the internet. Google wasn’t a thing, so getting from one website to another was peer distributed by mouth and paper.
It’s incredibly hard to take that offline.
