d00ery,

On the one hand yes, he’s perfectly free to do whatever he likes without judgment (as long as its legal). Although, one could argue it’s rather eco unfriendly to ship all that food instead of eating the food that’s been prepared in his all-inclusive hotel and thereby creating more waste.

On the other hand, somehow, the Daily Mail has found out about his plan and he’s happily posed for or submitted photos to the paper. Having put himself deliberately in the spotlight I think he’s ok with people talking about him.

New Motherboard with loose CMOS Battery - Should I worry/return?

I’m currently waiting for all the components for my PC upgrade to arrive. Got the motherboard today and immediately upon opening, I noticed that the CMOS battery was not in its slot but just kind of next to it loose on top of the board. The slot seems fine, it seems to fit securely in there. No scratches on the board either....

d00ery,

Batteries are sometimes shipped with those little plastic tabs that prevent the connection (so the battery won’t drain whilst it’s sitting in the warehouse). Could they ship the battery as you found it because of that?

d00ery,

Good point. I haven’t bought a motherboard in a while but must admit I don’t remember ever having the CMOS battery separate.

There needs to be a way to only get one push notification for every new message in a group chat

I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I’m part of. Maybe I’m concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you...

I think that’s a good idea, my solution is to mute group chats and check them when I’m free, but it’s not ideal for the reasons you’ve mentioned.

In whatsapp there’s only the option to mute the chat.

In discord there’s granular level of control that allows me to mute everything but direct notifications (@d00ery).

But if you implemented such a feature, how would you limit it?

i.e. one notification for the first message and then mute all replies for 5 mins? What happens when that one person who always replies an hour later messages?

Could we use AI to check if the conversation is still related to the original message?

From a dev perspective there’s all sorts of solutions but I wonder how would one find the sweet spot.

d00ery,

Lol. I just found it in my works GitHub instance. I asked what files a ticket refers to and it just returned an error message.

d00ery,

As a fan of both authors I’d just like to point out the quote is from Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

I’ve never really thought about it and I don’t have the vocabulary to describe it, but they have similar humour in the way they look at humans and social interaction.

d00ery,

Let me go count all my Lego.

d00ery,

I agree with you. A sheep and some sheep are the same to me 😂

d00ery,

But which way are the pictures displayed?

Good point! I haven’t been reading enough manga to remember it’s from the right to the left …

d00ery,

So running games in Linux using my 3080 is going to work better now?

d00ery,

😁 ok thanks. I get the speeding the cycle up bit! Makes sense that it’ll be easier to fix bugs if the code is open.

Is there a name for this sort of object? I need something like this, but don't know what to type into the webs (lemmy.world)

I’m going to convert my computer chair from pneumatic to static. I’m currently using plastic clasps that are held on with jubilee clips, but they’re not great and need replaced (I’m a heavy lad). A sturdy metal version would be better....

d00ery,

That’s a generic name for a Jubilee clip - www.jubileeclips.co.uk/products/original/

So a good idea, but OP is hoping to upgrade from this.

If GSM arena lists a certain band frequency as supported by a phone but says - USA at the end of the list, does that mean the same phone won't work in another country operating towers on that band?

I’m trying to make sure that if I import a phone to my country, it will likely work pretty much wherever I may go here. Most phones I’m looking at support every 4G band operated here, but I’ve noticed that on the GSM arena website, they will often give a list of supported bands for a given phone followed by a dash and a...

d00ery, (edited )

I’m pretty sure the USA refers to the model*. The manufacturer may have a Chinese or International version of each phone.

d00ery,

I know you’ve asked for uBlock Origin instructions but I couldn’t find the RegEx option for uBlock. However the concept should be the same: help.adblockplus.org/…/360062733293-How-to-write-…

And the partially clothed men all ‘wrestling’ in the foreground.

Trump Privately Rages About His Sketch Artist, Courtroom Nap Reports (www.rollingstone.com)

The court dismissed one potential juror after Trump’s legal team had flagged their social media post last month of an AI-generated video featuring Trump saying “I’m dumb as fuck.” Trump’s lawyers sought to strike another potential juror over social media posts made or shared by her husband in 2016. In one, Trump’s...

d00ery,

I’m pretty sure courtroom sketch artists are members of the press.

Pi4 with Kodi installed supports HDMI-CEC (I can use my Samsung TV remote to control media player)

d00ery,

… I think they mean calcified, it’s how I feel at least.

d00ery,

Keep on kicking that can down the road … 14 years of conservative govt.
