- Comment on It will be great, they said... 1 week ago:
I have no experience with any type of backend mail management or anything like it.
But I do have a corporate email through Microsoft exchange. I hate multiple apps on my phone, so I have it as an extra account in my Gmail app.
And it sucks. I don’t get a lot of emails, only the last 3 or 4 emails actually show up in the app.
But my biggest, angriest problem… Is mail getting stuck in the queue.
If I’m sending a short email? Fine, I can use the app. Fire it off and it’ll send immediately.
But if I write a long email? It will say it’s sending, it’ll sit in the outbox, but it will never… ever… send. Ever.
No amount of Wi-Fi cycling or data cycling, cache clearing or phone restarting will ever ever get that email to send. It will just sit there silently failed. Not even acknowledging it’s failed when you poke at it, let alone with a notification or something.
The first time I realized it happened, it was an unfortunately important email.
Would you like to guess what the problem is? I pulled my hair out for like a day before figuring it out. I’ll put it in a spoiler tag so you can guess.

When you write a long email, at some point it saves a draft. For some reason, that draft is what holds everything up. If I remember correctly, even deleting the draft doesn’t make it send… If ever I forget, and it happens again, I have to copy my whole email to the clipboard, open exchange in the web browser, find the draft (which is never complete, always only half or less of what I wrote) paste my full message into the draft, and then manually send it.
I guess technically it’s my own fault, I could just use the exchange app and it would probably solve this. But I don’t want to, and I shouldn’t have to, email is not new. But it is terrible. Like printers. Bah.
- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 1 week ago:
Yep. Annoying. A few weeks ago I didn’t realize all of this was starting, I wanted another 16gb ddr4 for a computer I was converting into a server.
Was annoying to discover the price increase for seemingly no reason.

Can confirm. Cat loves the 2nd story balcony. Yells at us every year when “we turn the snow on again”, making it so he can’t enjoy the balcony.
We are rude.

I’ll add to this, sufficient artificial light will wake them up too. So don’t point a big light at it in preparation for taking them out, because they’ll take you out

Wow that’s crazy!
- Comment on Zero Chull 3 weeks ago:
The lan thing makes sense, I could see that. Still an impressive amount of patch cables, if true.
As for turning WiFi on and off, that could work too, didn’t think of that. But I feel like maybe not? Surely the apps would complain or get suspicious of only connecting to make a quick comment and then disconnecting again, every single time. Or maybe not.
I just imagine companies trying to fight this somehow, and that would be a suspicious fingerprint.
- Comment on Zero Chull 3 weeks ago:
Don’t know why you’re getting down voted. It is indeed impressive that all those WiFi radios are working that close together. There’s another wall of phones behind it, double! Probably more in the room too.
There’s gotta be 100 phones on that first wall alone, plus double it, so 200. More in the room? Other rooms? Hundreds of phones, all screaming out WiFi, trying to connect.
From a networking perspective, impressive indeed. Those phones must hate life.

- Comment on Anon gets a pay raise 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t this incorrect? I always heard that, and then somebody told me no, you pay taxes on what you make up to the first bracket, based on the first bracket, then whatever you make after that you pay taxes on in the second bracket, up to the limit, etc
So yes youn pay more for what you’re making above that, but you’re still making more overall? You don’t actually go backwards. I think.
Except for like assistance and stuff. That’s all messed up. If you make just enough to get above the poverty line and lose Medicaid or snap or whatever, then you end up paying so much extra you go backwards as far as available funds. They’ve got the screws so tight, it actually makes more sense to manufacture ways to make less money, so you can stay just under the line. The gap is too big between needing assistance and being sufficient, you can’t get from one to the other. At least that’s what I’ve heard.
I’m in the US btw.

13/14 for me. Thinkpad 600 😎

I was around 13 for my first Linux install. Good times. Think pad 600, what a classic.
If I could have that exact same machine, with modern specs, I’d be hard pressed to use anything else. The nostalgia alone… So good.

I’m on boost too. Let’s find out, here’s a picture uploaded using the built in function. Image
Well I’ll be darned, I thought it was using imgur, but I guess it’s straight to the instance. Neat.
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 2 months ago:
Still irritates me that modern games don’t have this. Surely it’s not that hard to implement in modern games.
And in the case of the master chief collection? They literally just… Turned it off. The code is there, it could work, but they say no.
If you buy it on Xbox, you can do splitscreen. If you buy it on PC? You cannot.
However, if you use alpharing, you can patch the game with literal kilobytes of code, and force activate splitscreen. It’s a little janky, but proves the code is in there, it’s just turned off.
Disgusting.
- Comment on whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders? 2 months ago:
I like flavored coffee on occasion. We have two grinders, the slightly lower quality one gets all the flavored beans, they never go into the good grinder.
That said, I got a handful of flavors recently to share with friends. I like to bring our espresso machine glamping, I set it up on a table under a tarp next to our tent, with a 100 foot cord running to a small generator.
When I got home, I tried mixing a little bit of each flavor together. 5 flavors,a few beans from each. It was honestly terrible. Far worse than any individual flavor by itself. It wasn’t unique or interesting, it was bad, and I’ll never do it again 🤷♂️
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 2 months ago:
Yep. And for me, it changed. I played fps on controller my whole childhood, I was always standard. I started playing less controller and more noise and keyboard as I got older.
A few years ago I started flying fpv drones.
Recently tried to use a controller again? Whoops I can only play inverted now 🤷♂️

The amount of people absolutely POUNDING several event drinks a day is astounding.
I have a heart condition and couldn’t drink them if I wanted to, without dying, so they don’t believe when I say it’s bad for them.
