Lesson of the day, you can make just about anything in the microwave, even if it says it’s supposed to be boiled on the stove

Dell computers are complete pieces of garbage, and I'm never getting one again. About a year ago after my PC had to go to the shop, I connected an SD card reader, and it wouldn't turn on after that. I brought it to Best Buy the next day, and they were able to fix it by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. A couple weeks ago, I attempted to connect my Trek so I could install maps before giving it to a friend of mine, and that same thing happened again. Just like the previous time this happened, Geek Squad was able to disconnect and reconnect the battery, and the computer turned on with no problems. The agent had suggested sending it in, but since I need a computer and it had been over a year since this happened before, I didn't think this was necessary. Today I attempted to connect a capture card that I've had since 2018, and the same thing happened. I'm bringing my computer to the store tonight, but since my Total Tech protection expired, I'm not sure if I want to know how much they're gonna charge me for such a simple procedure. It's bad enough I'm spending $35 one way to get there, but in an emergency situation like this where you need a computer, what are you supposed to do? I've been considering getting a new PC for a while, but I'm not sure what I should go with. The new X-Elite laptops seem like great machines, but I'm not sure if I want to continue using Windows full-time,. Even with all the crap I've been giving Apple recently, I never had something like this happen on my 2014 Mac, and I haven't heard any other Mac users mention this issue. I know people like @FluidEscence, @TheQuinbox, and a few others have said they virtualize, but when I decided to give the M1 Mac a try, I returned it after a couple days because of how frustrating I found VoiceOver. I don't want to get too excited, but a small part of me does hope that this ends up being Apple's year since they announced VoiceOver changes. I hope this means VO will get the attention it's needed for a while. My only thing with going the virtualized Windows route is having to map an NVDA key. I have my mechanical that has a numpad, so VO navigation may be better with that. I'd like to know what everyone thinks I should do. If I don't go for a Mac, I'm considering the Galaxy Book 4 Edge. I'd kind of like to go Windows, but I'm not sure what to do.

@FluidEscence @TheQuinbox @Rich now don’t be insulting my computer. Lol.

@TheQuinbox @FluidEscence @Rich I had to use my old computer for something yesterday because my camera cord would not stretch and it brought home just how much better the new one is

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate typing with a TV remote? It could be any remote and any OS. I just find it tedious. You can’t even touch type. You have to scroll letter by letter. If you want to search for a long title or something, that's just plain inefficient. Look me in the eye and tell me I’m wrong. Google assistant decided to lose its hearing earlier right about the time I wanted to watch something.

@Rich don’t have one, and no braille support

@alpuzz my box doesn’t have a USB port. It has a USB-C, but that’s for the power cord.

Oh, kind of a side note but related, I have to cancel all streams until I fully recover from this surgery at the very least. My current restrictions actually mean that I cannot lift my own laptop.

@superblindman you take care of you yourself and you. The Internet can wait.

Well, the post I just read has deterred me from ever installing a custom ROM on any android device ever.

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost so what happens when it’s update time?

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost gotcha. He said he.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost good. I know what I am doing when I am able to play.

@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost thank you. Also, thank you for taking time out of your day to educate a total newbie who doesn’t know squat.

@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost you deserve a reward for that. I know so many places, not saying names, Apple, they send out half baked stuff on a regular basis and then never finish making it.

@puppygirlhornypost @GrapheneOS any caveats I should be aware of? I only ask because I run a lot of software.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost as long as the whole phone doesn’t crash and get stuck in a boot loop. It’s all good.

evilcookies98,
@evilcookies98@dragonscave.space avatar

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost that won’t really be a problem because I don’t use the Wallet features anyway

@puppygirlhornypost @GrapheneOS can we say ouch?

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost you really seem to care about what you do, and I love that.

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost I currently have a seven pro as my daily driver.

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost right? If we could force things on software developers, I would push accessibility so hard. Inaccessible software is the bane of my existence.

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost that brings me to the only disadvantage of replacing my operating system. I would lose the guided frame capability, and that’s the only way I can take decent pictures.

@GrapheneOS @puppygirlhornypost oh cool

Here is what needs to happen. Mobile phones need the ability to connect to external WebCams. I found out by virtue of getting my tripod stuck in something today that it actually has extendable feet. This would make it easier to record videos on mobile because I could plug in the camera, get it in position, and then not have to worry about moving it.
