ShepherdPie,

He totally fell for all that NordVPN marketing

ShepherdPie,

They survived multiple giant asteroid strikes already. The issue is habitability for humans, but the planet itself is not in danger.

ShepherdPie,

That is what would happen. What won’t happen is “the planet dying” like you claimed above and don’t seem to grasp.

ShepherdPie,

I thought the male version of cleavage was when your beer belly hangs out a little below your shirt because you definitely still wear the same size shirt that you did 10 years ago.

ShepherdPie,

That’s more like a treasure map where the creator didn’t want you to find the treasure too easily.

ShepherdPie,

How does this make any business sense from any angle?

Presumably, you have the actual file already, but you can’t give some free advertising to the creator by posting a make of the file? Locking the file behind a paywall makes sense since that’s the actual thing of value here. Locking a make behind a paywall is neutral for the consumer and a negative for the creator.

From the consumers’ perspective, there is essentially zero incentive to pay just to post a picture of someone else’s creation. There’s no FOMO, there’s nothing being ‘withheld.’ It’s just one less step you have to do (assuming you wanted to do it in the first place).

So what happens here is the creator loses out on free advertising, the consumer isn’t even mildly inconvenienced, and Prusa still gets zero revenue out of the whole deal.

Can someone give a rationale for this? Maybe something I’m missing?

ShepherdPie,

I have a Galaxy Watch4 and it would last me about 3 days new and is down to around two days now. I’ve already bought a replacement battery but haven’t bothered to put it in yet.

This is with the always on display off and everything else on including wifi.

ShepherdPie,

It’d be mildly amusing to walk to the front and demand they tell you why they have all your stuff for sale on their shelves.

Home entertainment with NAS?

Hi! My goal: I want to set up a beamer projector in my flat and connect that to some kind of ‘always on’ machine with which I can stream (currently Netflix a bit but that really is not a priority as I am thinking of cancelling it) but would also like it to be a torrent client (I have a VPN) to download some media. Though...

ShepherdPie,

What is your HDD setup using the NUC? Are you just using external drives via USB?

ShepherdPie, (edited )

I’ve just been looking for a future solution when I retire my desktop. I wanted a lower power PC like a NUC but I currently have 9 or 10 HDDs in the PC which won’t work as a bunch of external enclosures and a NAS would be not worth the money for this many drives.

Maybe I’ll just get an i5 with QuickSync and an ITX or micro ATX for the next revision

ShepherdPie,

How does your viewpoint differ from a MAGA/QAnon supporter claiming leftists are being paid by George Soros to spread propaganda? Like suddenly now our political leaders are above reproach and any criticism must always be part of a coordinated smear campaign?

I don’t particularly agree with the above commentor in this context, but both these candidates have a long list of terrible things they’ve done and we shouldn’t be trying to sweep it under the rug just because it’s “our” guy. That just makes you sound like a partisan sycophant just like the people doing mental gymnastics to defend Trump’s terrible actions.

ShepherdPie,

“It’s rigged”

“we have no choice”

“Don’t you dare vote for anyone else or you’re going to ruin everything!”

ShepherdPie,

Australia has some brands like Holden but they are just subsidiaries of US companies.

ShepherdPie,

I’m skeptical that it’s the extruder as it doesn’t even look like it moved during either click.

ShepherdPie,

What citizenship? I never saw his long-form birth certificate. Clearly, he’s hiding the truth that he was born on the moon. Musk should pilot Starship to take him back on a one-way trip.

ShepherdPie,

Alternatively you can get your record expunged in most states (except mine apparently).

IRS Announce Direct File will be a permanent, free tax filing option and invited all 50 states to utilize it for the 2025 filing season

@news

ShepherdPie,

So how does this work in states with income tax? I can file federally for free but then how do I file with the state? I don’t know of any commercial options that allow for state filing only and have been using freetaxusa the last couple years (since Credit Karma went to shit) and still only pay for state filing.

ShepherdPie,

We have a fantastic one nearby in a rundown parking lot that makes their own “crunch wrap supreme” with your choice of meat for $10. These things are probably 5x the volume and density of the Taco Bell version and you don’t have to get Taco Bells shitty Ortega taco seasoned ground beef.

ShepherdPie,

I’m not even sure what you’re arguing for since you seemed to have done a complete 180 on your stance. You earlier said you don’t want YouTube adjudicating the law (by choosing sides in a copyright claim), but now you’re arguing that they have to do this in order to avoid liability.

The issue here is copyright trolls claiming copyright over things that don’t belong to them. In many cases, YouTube sides with these trolls and steals revenue from the actual content creators simply by virtue of them having made a claim in the first place, which seems to lend a lot of legitimacy to the trolls even if it’s complete fraud (similar to police testimony in court being treated like gospel). Currently, these cases are reviewed by bots, and people here are asking for them to be reviewed by actual people with real brains instead because the system is completely broken as there are no consequences for these trolls making false claims.

ShepherdPie,

Biden scraps Trump’s paint scheme for Air Force One

When their list contains stuff like this, you know they’re grasping at straws.

ShepherdPie,

And if they don’t, you’ll wish they had.

ShepherdPie,

Pretty sure the inventor of the “gif” stated that it’s supposed to be pronounced “jif” but he too is completely wrong.

Jeep is launching a $25,000 EV in the US ‘very soon’ to revamp the rugged SUV brand

@evs

ShepherdPie,

Recent history? They’ve been junk for a long time. I’ll give the Wrangler a pass but the rest of their lineup had been pretty terrible.
