  Hmm interesting. I work with a bunch of older machines that use micro USB. They are all going on 10 years without a broken port. But my phones USB C port broke recently at about 4 years in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I beat the roaches in this house?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  An exterminator probably, but you can thin the herd by sitting up a trap.

  A large preferably glass or metal bowl, and a small ramp up to said bowl. Put some sugar in the bowl and the next day there’ll be some roaches trapped in the bowl. Empty and repeat…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨90% of Games Developers Already Using AI in Workflows, According to New Google Cloud Research⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As a full stack web dev I’ve been using AI off and on and while it seems really good at basic markup language, it almost never gets PHP or JS right.

  It suggests weird ways of doing things that either don’t work, are completely asinine, use some random unknown libraries, or is just outdated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Begun the kernel wars have⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I came home pre early access and saw that I could play if I just watched some stream on twitch for 30 minutes. So I did. Got the code and it did not work. Started up the game and it was locked until early access/ next day.
  Went to bed and tried again on early access. Now the game won’t even start, claiming it needs secure boot to be on. I have secure boot on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit's getting real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a job at a large corporate retail store and we recently raised a lot of prices, mostly for things that haven’t been hit by tariffs yet. The owner is using the tariffs as an excuse to jack up prices for no reason. Even if all the tariffs were done away with tomorrow, corporate America is still going to jack up the prices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These shipping tape things⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I work, we use the cheapest tape known to man. It’s pretty much 50/50 if they work or you spend 30 seconds fixing it. Helps if you adjust the tensioner…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure if this works these days, but on older systems there was a reset bios config jumper and pulling the cmos battery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Riot Games allows betting sponsors for League and Valorant teams⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gambling addicts are 15x more likely to commit suicide, be in 15k + debt, etc. Bringing gambling addiction to a game played by young adults reminds me of when they used to market cigarettes to minors

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They paved paradise and put up some pavement…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So they are going to ban Baldurs Gate 3?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And nothing of value was lost⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad to see cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers is making a comeback

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Next they are banning sex toy purchases, r rated movies, tabacco, vape and alcohol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Hellraiser video game. What do you all think?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First movie was 1987, so at least 38 years later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨toasty⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pure evil, don’t touch it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hyperbaric chambers aren’t harmful afaik, but never heard of kids using them. They promote stem cells and regeneration

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much spacing while stopped at a red light?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When I took my driving test. The correct spacing was taught as, if you can see their bottom back tires visible above your hood, then that’s the correct distance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can only bring back one. Which do you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Last I checked there’s a Radio Shack in Los Alamos. Uncanny vibes, but it’s there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Genius⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus rent, electricity, etc…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Venmo overdrafted my bank rather than use the balance in my account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  On capitol one 360 and first thing I did was turn off overdraft. Now if I purchase an item with my debit card for $100 but only have $99 in my account, it just rejects the transaction

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I buy CDs 5 for a dollar at a thrift store, and check out YT if I’m looking for something different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Motherboards used to have a jumper pin to erase bios passwords and reset bios to default. Doubtful that a modern laptop has these, but worth a look.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also file a police report and let the police identify the thief from video. Then they will get to deal with doordash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people who avoid turn signals do it to feel more normal? (Imitating their parents, avoiding perceived stupidity of using turn signals when it seems useless, etc)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since when has using turn signals been the “normal”?

  For the last 20 years, 90% of the drivers are so lazy that they can’t be bothered to lift their finger a half inch even if it means preventing an accident or death…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but can your watch drive you to the store ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is a rural town in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks,

  After thinking about it a bit, towns with a large corporate presence, like a major grocery store etc., but no Walmart, would fall somewhere in between rural and urban. Low or no corporate presence is almost always a rural town.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is a rural town in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It means the town doesn’t have a Walmart

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly can’t remember the last time I paid full price for a game. Between free amazon prime games, epic games, gog, and steam demos/freebies: I hardly have time to invest in new games.

  I used to buy Madden/NBA2k every year up until 2008 or so, now I grab one every five years at $10. Includes all the bugs from the previous version.

  I have 1000s of games now and don’t have any time to play them. BG3 is the one game I’m considering spending $40 for.
