- Comment on What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems? 1 day ago:
System76 manages their own distro. I would start with them.
Lenovo and others have Linux-targeted models. I would look at those. That’s not to say all think pads work well with linix, just the ones that are aimed at Linux support.

Joker costume.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 1 week ago:
I will put 3 simple 1 sentence questions in a numbered list and get a single answer back.
Idgaf any more I just copy/paste the same 3 questions and send it back.
- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 1 week ago:
What does your contract say?
- Comment on Does anyone have ideas for cable management here? 1 week ago:
Move the pc next to the shelf.
Move the sub under the tv.
Get surface mount cable runs and go down from the tv to the floor, over to the shelf, and up along the side of the shelf.
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 1 week ago:
“I thought you bought a new truck?”
My friend’s, probably.
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 2 weeks ago:
I have a 1969 truck. If you haven’t driven it before, is it new?
- Comment on Other than Canada and Australia, which countries are best alternatives to traveling to the USA? 2 weeks ago:
If you’re concerned about language barriers then Singapore is great.
- Comment on Do you eat shrimp shells when eating shrimp? 2 weeks ago:
No. I did switch to eating larger shrimp so there’s less work involved.
There are ways of cooking shrimp that break the shell down to the point that it’s more like crispy salmon skin.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 2 weeks ago:
I’m only aware of US market.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 2 weeks ago:
“No frills”
Right now EVs come with frills. The leaf, bolt, and that Mitsubishi golf cart were the no-frills EVs.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 2 weeks ago:
The profit margins on cheap cars isn’t high enough yet to introduce EVs at that price.
Closest you can probably get is the Corolla hybrid base model. It’s not full EV and sadly isn’t even a plugin hybrid.
- 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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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] 5 weeks ago:
The line must go up.
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 5 weeks ago:
They will sell repair kits.
- Comment on Why are entertainers paid so much? 1 month ago:
Most are not.

What’s wrong with your windows.
- Comment on Is there a !remindme bot scooting around lemmyverse? 1 month ago:
No! Bad bot!
- Comment on Is there a !remindme bot scooting around lemmyverse? 1 month ago:
Most bots are annoying but the remindme bot seems useful.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Run Linux on your machine as a VM.
- Comment on 1 month 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? 1 month ago:
Only historians can determine if we reached a tipping point.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 month 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? 1 month 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)? 2 months ago:
Half-quad.
