It makes me feel gross too. Glad I’m not alone.

I had some guy come out and say he’d install a washer and dryer hookup for me but he wouldn’t patch the hole he’d make in the wall and he would charge $900 USD for the project. Yeah, no thanks. That’s more than the damn appliances and you won’t patch the hole in the wall when done? He was supposed to be a general handyman, type guy I found off Craigslist.

That was a few years ago and I still haven’t had it done because I just can’t find anyone to do it. I never realized that this was something that didn’t have people available to do. Local plumbers won’t do it, hardware stores advertise “we’ll hook up your appliance for free too!” But that is just hooking up to an existing connection…I just gave up on the idea of having a washer and dryer in my home at this point.

I am blown away by KDEnLive and how quickly I’ve been able to pick it up to learn it.

It’s as simple as the classic Windows Movie Maker but also just as capable as iMovie or what little I did in FinalCutPro on a Mac.

One feature I love on this is that I was editing a video on my Windows gaming PC and have the files all on the cloud. I then loaded that same project on my Linux laptop and it gave me an error that it didn’t have the media… however…it would parse a folder FOR ME and then add that media back into the project. In minutes I had the complete video timeline just as it was on my Windows machine now on my Linux laptop.

It’s also just so basic and easy to use. It’s a bit refreshing and not intimidating to use. Granted, I am someone who’s somewhat familiar with video editing from other applications, but not a pro by any means.

I don’t do food deliveries anymore but when I did, almost always did the food come in a paper bag that had a sticker over it which would let you know if someone tampered with it after the food was prepared, i.e. the driver. The drinks also came with a sticker over the top of it to cover both the lid and the insert for the straw so you’d know if someone removed it.

I’ve gotten them recently when doing curbside pickups at places like McDonald’s too.

I think streamers would know their food was tampered with. Unless someone was extremely careful, but that’s difficult when dealing with the paper bags and stickers.

I have no idea how I missed that in the title because that’s the only thing I was wondering about lol But just changed it

This was my comment. My dad and I felt that same way but my grandmother just couldn’t understand how we could.

If I never needed to eat, that’d be wonderful. No more getting fat ever again and I’d probably be 100 times healthier.

Someone corrected me the other day on here that it’s not all games that are doing that but only some will be a game key and others will be the full game. I’m assuming that all first party titles will be the game key since this is largely about piracy and not allowing people to easily dump the game from the cartridge like people did for the Switch.

I’ve been really liking the art style of the Common Side Effects tv show. It’s like anime but very western in feel with just the right amount of CGI, where it’s not too much but used in the right angles.

When I sleep at my mom’s house, there’s a smart lamp my brother put in the spare room that has 1 USB port on it and a wireless charging pad. I opt to use the wireless charging pad at night for my phone and the USB for my watch. Makes it so I can charge two devices simultaneously without having to switch out USBs.

in a car, having wireless charging pad is nice for the convenience of taking it with you and putting it on very quickly and easily, especially if you’re actively driving and just want to do it with the least amount of distractions. Even with USB type C being reversible, you still need to make sure the cable gets in the hole and that’s dangerous to do while driving. But with a wireless pad, you don’t have to look and the magnet helps guide it on correctly for you. You still shouldn’t do this while driving, but out of the two, a vastly safer alternative. Besides that, it’s nicer to be able to just grab your phone and go when leaving the car and also easier when entering. Another addition is that a wireless charging pad takes the place of two accessories and combines them together. So you now have a mount and a charger in one instead of both being separate.

Hygienically speaking, it’s cleaner in that you don’t have to touch the charger. Best for public use like a coffee cafe. People are gross and I try my hardest not to have touch contact with stuff if I can help it. So to be able to drop my phone down without touching a cable a million other people have been touching helps with that too.

Even though I like it…I still want a port. A lot of cases don’t allow you to make direct contact to have wireless charging, so it’s not always an option. Also don’t always want to have my phone laying down, sometimes I want to use it while it’s charging, especially when typing, and that’s near impossible with 90% of charging pads unless it’s a special type of MagSafe for iPhones. Then there’s also the fact that I like it as an option in case something breaks. If the port is dirty or damaged, I still have the wireless charging option. Same in reverse if the wireless function ceases to work for some reason.

The ads are louder than the damn video I’m there to watch. I feel like this just started because I don’t remember having this problem a few months ago.

That’s what I thought this new change was going to be. Fuck me for thinking YouTube would do something that would hurt advertisers and benefit the actual audience.

I didn’t either until a second ago lol

It’s a doorstop he’s holding.

I’d be willing to bet that most people in the world want a bigger phone.

I downsized to a iPhone 15 Pro from a iPhone 13 Pro Max thinking that I wanted a smaller phone, but I find myself missing it and planning to upgrade to the larger variety come the iPhone 17 launch. Typing has been an absolute nightmare for my hands on this smaller phone. I make more mistakes and it’s uncomfortable.

I also miss the larger screen size for viewing videos, but it’s not the end of the world there since I also have an iPad and other devices better suited for videos.

But people forget how the iPhones, in particular, were criticized by a lot of people, especially on the Android side, for not having as big of phones and Apple finally caved a few years after Steve passed. I think Steve Jobs is what held back iPhones to the smaller size they had for so long.

It’s really how you use it. In short, a server is what other devices rely on and a computer is used on its own to sometimes connect to a server.

I have a “server” at home that runs on Windows 11 Pro. There are people who buy (or pirate) the server editions of Windows to use for personal, every day use. Rare, but they exist. Same with Linux, with many distros not having a specialized edition for servers, but people still will use it for a home server or even in a professional setting.

What separates the two, to explain to a five year old, is how they are used.

My server at home “serves” up content for me to use on other devices. I have a library of music and movies and TV shows there that is being shared. Additionally, this server sets up the connection and a local website that my other devices can use to access this content. A server is either rarely off or has a set schedule that it is on since it has a purpose that other devices rely on.

A PC (personal computer) is what you use on a daily basis. This is used either seldomly or at random as it is only being relied upon by a human that will wake it up as they need it.

In a professional setting, a server will host the application that manages the employees of that organization. This server is like a watchdog on the network, making sure everyone is abiding by the guidelines laid out for this network and using proper security to access computers and other devices on the network. A computer in a professional setting is used as often as a human employee needs it. IT may need the laptop to remote into a server and then turn it off and not use it for a few weeks. The manager opens her computer to log in and run reports and then closes when she’s done for the day.

I read this as cow at first and was so confused lol

Don’t worry about being embarrassed. This is your health and it is important. You don’t want to let things like this go on too long.

What are your alternatives? Just keep quiet about it and live in discomfort and let it get worse? Or spend a few moments POSSIBLY feeling embarrassed and getting the help you need? I say “possibly” because I doubt your parents will let you feel that way about something that is medically bothering you like this. Good parents will care and do what they can to help you.

Go get yourself taken care of. This is important.

Most likely hardware issue. You might try running a live Linux USB to see if it still happens in there just to rule out any funky Apple software issues. But the refresh of macOS seems enough there.

Unfortunately it’s not going to be easy if you don’t have AppleCare. Apple solders everything to the main board so it’s not like you can just remove the WiFi card like nearly every other computer out there.

My brother and I were riding bikes in the driveway when my dad asked if he could ride too.

He took over and then fell over. He got up and said he needed to go to the hospital while showing us his pinky finger. I kid you not, his finger was at an almost perfect right angle.

My dad liked playing pranks on us and we thought he was pulling a joke on us, but he was not…

I’ve never seen an injury quite like that one.

I bought this one off Amazon recently for $79 USD (currently has a 20% discount too) Anyski 3 channel 5GHz (can’t link here because comment gets removed).

Reasons I liked it:

• it mounts to the window and won’t do that thing where it gets knocked out of place in the event of extreme force such as getting rear ended. You’ll see a lot of YouTube dash cam videos where the camera goes up after the car has been rear ended because it wasn’t on a fixed mount like this one but a swivel. Avoid swivels if possible for this reason.
• has a total of 3 cameras, 1 facing the street, 1 facing the cab, and 1 facing the rear view window behind the car
• the rear view camera is not necessary to hook up so you could just do the main unit with 2 cameras and still have a camera, just smaller POV, of the back
• the sound quality was decent for interior of the car
• it had a WiFi hotspot feature so you can remotely connect using your phone to easily and quickly grab videos and not have to mess with the SD card (but you still had that option if you wished)
• the video quality is really good

I think it might meet your criteria.
