Maybe Thriftbooks? They do offer shipping to Canada but it’s not always cheap.

It’s a USB adapter for a dock. It has a nonstandard pinout, so I made an adapter for it.

I can’t change the thickness. I might try cross hatching the ground plane (suggested in the SE) and seeing how that affects the impedance as well.

Yeah in the fall, it’s the only dying-looking tree in an evergreen forest

Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled (lemmy.world)

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn’t rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn’t unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

If you have a Dremel, I bet you could take out the center bit and use a regular slotted screwdriver.

I was running out of RAM on my 16GB system for years (just doing normal work tasks), so I finally upgraded to a new laptop with 64GB of RAM. Now I never run out of memory.

I’m not sure, there was a ton of light pollution where I was at. It was all over the sky in every direction and moved around.

After it started getting dark. It was very vivid around 10:30ish to 11:30 or so. I went to sleep after that though, so it might’ve gotten brighter. I was checking periodically earlier but wasn’t seeing anything til it suddenly became visible.

It shows the space weather forecast. I think it was G4 last night.

[Resolved] After updating through both APT and the Software Store, I can't play mp4 videos with VLC anymore. The screen goes blank for a second or two then the audio starts playing without the video..

I’m using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn’t resolve the issue. Here’s an excerpt from the VLC’s log file:...

I’m not sure off-hand since I’m not too familiar with VLC.

I would imagine it could be an issue in a graphics driver at the kernel (amdgpu?) or user level (mesa?). It could also be a problem in something higher up.

I would recommend posting an issue in the VLC repo and see if you can get better support that way.

Can you turn off hardware decoding and see if it works then?

I use it all the time to help simplify long excerpts, giving me an introductory gist of what something says.
