I told you to remember where you parked it.

You can use it as a webcam if you suddenly need to work from home and there’s a shortage of webcams.

Originally I had to install an app for that, but it shows up as a standard USB option on my Pixel now.

Los Angeles had hidden oil rigs.

Maybe so. But it did process duplicity backups every week for hundreds of Gb, so it did a fair amount of work even though not constantly active.

FWIW, I ran a Pi 2 with external (self-powered) USB drive for about 8 years as my main backup without issue (except that it was slow). I’ve just replaced it with a Pi 5 and TerraPi frame holding an SSD.

Superbowl reminds me of the SDF Fox News

Do not attempt to combine options 3 and 4 on that list!

Heavier, too. It’s about as heavy as the competitors despite having a separate battery.

It’s not necessary to have the external screen.

The Quest has passthrough cameras to allow you to see the world with stuff displayed over it too, but Apple has decided that simulating eye contact is important.

It’s Apple’s unique selling point here, but they’d have what sounds like a high-quality headset without it.

Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.

I think that this captures so much of the human condition.

Oh, one really cool thing, newsreader programs would usually show you which message threads had new messages, so it was easy to keep up with interesting conversations.

What it looked like was an email program with a list of subject names like mail folders, each containing subject lines of conversation threads. The threads were fully branched, replies under the correct messages, like Lemmy. Not a simple list, like email.

Also unlike email, the messages were posted publicly instead of to you.

There was a list of newsgroup names for different subjects, you’d pick which of those to get messages from to appear as the “mail folders”.

The names were in a hierarchy, so computer subjects were comp.something, hobbies/recreation were rec.something etc. a bit like website names, only back to front, general to more specific, e.g uk.rec.sheds, alt.startrek.fanfic , rec.humor, rec.humor.funny.

You’d download messages from (and upload your replies to) a server and it would share messages with other servers, like Lemmy federation. So each group would be a merge of all messages from all around the world. Effectively there would only be ONE alt.folklore.urban for instance.

Usually your isp would run a server and you’d use that.

At first it wasn’t mainly used as a way to share binary files encoded as text messages, but eventually that took over, isps dropped having servers and big paid ones took over.

Kitboga on YouTube baits “tech support” scammers who ask for gifs card codes as payment then he redeems them to himself (or fakes doing so with custom web sites), while they scream at him.

I’m comfortable using a terminal, but with my Linux machines s common pattern is:

Need to get some software working. Find how to fix it, edit some config files.

Months later I run a system update and it’s starts asking me about merging the changes I made to various files. What were they for again? Are they still even necessary with the update or are the values I changed no longer used?

Then sometimes, something I installed is no longer supported, or needs a manual update because of how I installed it.

I wonder if they’re more popular now. I took this in a Walmart in California. https://imgur.com/d5ae1Po Although about half of those are not electric!

One possible reason is that some words on controversial subjects can attract mobs of posters with an agenda. They search for keywords to find threads to flood with their arguments.

So posters would get in the habit of saying something like “I love p1n3apple on p*zza” to avoid the wrath of pizza purists (made-up example, but substitute with anything more controversial).

Do you do much to maintain it? I always find that the Micra will loosen after a year or so and end up replacing it rather than hammering the rivet of the scissors to tighten it (especially since the blades get damaged and worn too).
