I’d also settle for releasing 3D models of out-of-production parts so they can be 3D-printed by enthusiasts.

Story time: in my second-gen Mazda Miata, I closed the centre console lid on a piece of cardstock by accident and it snapped the plastic piece that latches the lid shut. The part previously sold for ~$10 but they stopped producing it as a standalone part at some point and the only way to acquire it was to buy the $100 centre console lid assembly.

We and the hacker have no idea if this list is config driven or truly “hard coded” i.e. a const in the source code. It’s hardly an indicator of violating a core programming tenet.

ITT: SWIM uses Steam.

I save my wood chips from carving to use as kindling, and to wrap them in tin foil to use for smoking meat on the grill.

It’s probably better to copy everything as an attachment to a dedicated portable drive

This would get you fired from some jobs.

I love coop games and so many games seem like they’re perfectly suited for it, but don’t support it. A prime example is the city builder genre. There’s a multiplayer mod for Cities: Skylines but it isn’t perfect. On a bright note, the multiplayer mod for Rimworld is virtually flawless.

Interesting, so it allows DirectX to use the same shaders as Vulkan? But isn’t the advantage of Vulkan that it has less overhead than DirectX? Does this mean anything for gamers, or does it just make the graphics programmers’ jobs easier when they can use the same shaders for either renderer?

I’ll have what he’s having.

What’s pathetic is they often don’t even provide dedicated servers for the price.

No cutting in line!

Puerto Rico, to Alberta

You can’t just hang out in the opponent’s end and wait for someone to pass you the puck. The puck needs to be carried in, or dumped in and then chased after it crosses the line.

I had some scammers from “Bell” that said they were giving me a free phone as a reward for being a loyal customer. The problem? I haven’t subscribed to Bell in over a decade.

I strung them along for a while and figured out they were probably trying to get my 2FA code so they could hijack my account and presumably order new devices on my credit.

Is there a Plex like service for hosting my own DRM free software repo?

Missing all of the winter Olympic torches, right? This seems to be summer Olympics only.

The Olympic torch relay is actually less than 100 years old, starting in (Nazi) Berlin in 1936. Wikipedia

Robot Dreams 🥲

Yet another case where under-funding the LTB is bad for both landlords and tenants, and yet, the backlog continues…

I used Audeze Mobius for years until the yoke inevitably cracked. I exchanged it for a Maxwell which I’ve mostly left in the box since I also acquired a VZR Model One. It has a metal headband and is a passive, analog headset so very few digital parts to go wrong.

Yeah, he reimplemented it in Java to get garbage collection. The Alzheimer’s is cured but he takes ten minutes to pour a glass of water.

Whoops, stopped the lungs process instead of the cardiac arrest process.

Actually you really want to restart the heart service, right? sudo systemd restart heart
