That’s a massive wall of text to say “sorry we got caught”

Melbourne can go either way for Christmas Day.

This year pissing rain and thunder, top of 21c and 75% humidity round my area.

I’d rank it 3.6

Not terrible, but not great.

Great minds think alike?

404… Beer not found.

I hear there are cases where people need TPM, but I don’t, and switching it off is a great way to avoid this crap.

This is exactly what I was going to say.

Lenovo ThinkPad… Not ideapad

Excluding ideapad is important, they are no better than other junk.

raiding it’s territory and kills and kidnaps a number of it’s citizen.

As Israel has done to Palistinians already for years?

But that just gets swept under the carpet when Israel does it.

Israels actions standing over the Palestine should have had them classed as terrorists long ago.

Hamas is no better though, leaving 2 terrorist organisations fighting while innocents suffer.

I’d be careful with that suggestion. Some external readers will only read SATA M.2, Dube will only read NVMe M.2.

Ideally you’d want I’ve is each or one that will do both for maximum compatibility.

Though most drives do seem to be NVMe now.

Any more info on this Eufy issue? A came across a camera system if theirs that’s having issues. Might have to read up tomorrow.

Ooof… Half that list is illegal to DIY in Australia. We have the dumbest laws for electrical and plumbing.

Ham Radio

Some aren’t even aware the hobby still exists.

Easy to get licenced in most places, ham radios are cool pieces of clever tech. So many sub hobbies within. Digital modes, long distance, electronics, antenna design and building.

All it has to do is affect one person that needs that feature and it’s a no go for that person.

It is rare for me but it is still an issue.

Formatting being broken is an even worse issue and happens far too often.

If I had a dollar for everytime someone said Linux isn’t bad now is be living on Mars.

What you’re really saying is your needs are simple and you’ve managed to get what you need.

This does not translate to everyone as others might have more complex needs than you.

TrackIR is still a nightmare on Linux, and searching for help with that reveals about 10 situations where no one got a good result and one person who seemingly got lucky.

Another issue is MS Office. Formatting and macros get broken by FOSS alternatives so don’t even go there.

There are at least a dozen more issues (NVIDIA, difficult hardware etc …).

Suffice to say everytime someone pops up saying it works now just starts looking silly.

Until we get native support and better documentation and testing Linux is still an outlier for anything more than basic productivity or gaming in a bubble.

So here I am near Melbourne Australia… Scrolling Lemmy at 11:08pm with my girlfriend drifting off to sleep next to me and I see this and think… The more I look at her the prettier she gets… I nudge my gf and say you need to see this. She says “is it a cat?” I say “yeah”. She rolls over and I hold the phone over her face and she literally says out loud.

“Awww; the more you look at her the prettier she gets”

Did anyone else think this?

OP… enjoy your companion!

Hello self hosted person.

No wucken furries ! Have a great fucking day!

This is a humor community, not an intellectual discussion community.

I think you’re lost.

What… No one new is allowed to see something aggregated in a new platform and/or at a newer time?

Because fuck me if I never saw it first time around?

Sorry mate but I’m going to have to give you the old Aussie “yeah… nah…”

You got profanity enabled? It’s an option not on by default. Turn it on… Or don’t… See if I give a fuck. I might not… Because I’m running pretty low on fucks to give… and I don’t really want to run out else I’ll be fucked. Google default keyboard with profanity enabled incase you have to fucking know.

Sounds like scare mongering.

Why would that be any different than a PC with the 2FA app on the PC?

Banking on suitably patched and secured phone is NOT an inherently risky activity.
