BigMikeInAustin,

I paid for a keyboard, I’m going to use a keyboard!

BigMikeInAustin,

Fuck Putin.

BigMikeInAustin,

Does your current laptop have a dedicated graphics card?

Can you try a USB to HDMI adapter? I don’t recall how they work with a dedicated card. Haven’t used one since Intel i7 gen 2 days, so my reference points are no longer relevant.

BigMikeInAustin,

Ha ha! I was going to suggest the one with the 2 pipes in a U that look like 3 pipe ends. But this elephant one is better.

BigMikeInAustin,

Only listen if a non-phish fan tells you not to listen?

BigMikeInAustin,

I’d run this program on the Holodeck.

BigMikeInAustin,

That’s when you know you’ve won!

BigMikeInAustin,

The red circles convinced me to enlarge the picture to read it.

BigMikeInAustin,

You are a true friend.

BigMikeInAustin,

Climbing up and down a ladder seems like a lot more work than just stairs. And I complain about stairs. Plus you can’t travel with anything handheld using a ladder.

BigMikeInAustin,

The FTC is not taking specific action against any automaker at this point. Instead, the blog post is meant to be a warning to the industry.

So, the only thing that will change will either be a tiny EULA on the underside of the car, or car companies will hire better security teams to keep the data collection hidden.

BigMikeInAustin,

These days companies see fines as just a little fee for doing business.

We’ve seen fines for other companies.

Worst case, they have to.pay, what. 10% of their earnings back as fines? That’s still definitely worth it to them.

BigMikeInAustin,

Not even an apology. They’ll spend money smearing the FTC leader. And call it a witch hunt. And publicize all the people who will lose their jobs if the company has to pay these fines.

And they are hedging their bets that Trump becomes president and the FTC gets gutted, so there won’t be any fines anyway.

If your faster computer now requires you, yourself, to move faster, then relative to you, the new computer might run at the old speed, or slower. Hmm.

BigMikeInAustin,

Do you really? That’s pretty understanding and nice.

BigMikeInAustin,

from anywhere on the planet, using just a web browser.

The poor astronauts on the International Space Station miss out on so much.

BigMikeInAustin,

Raspberry Pi Connect needs your Raspberry Pi to be running a 64-bit distribution of Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm that uses the Wayland window server. This in turn means that, for now, you’ll need a Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 4, or Raspberry Pi 400.

At the moment, the Raspberry Pi Connect service has just a single relay (TURN) server, located in the UK. This means that if rpi-connect chooses to relay traffic, the latency can be quite high.

Our intention is that Raspberry Pi Connect will remain free (as in beer) for individual users with non-relayed connections, with no limit on the number of devices.

BigMikeInAustin,

Why do some people get so upset if women try to exclude men?

BigMikeInAustin,

Because many people can only feel good about themselves if they think they are above someone else.

BigMikeInAustin,

Isn’t this also the tune of the old Spiderman theme?

BigMikeInAustin,

Ah, thanks!

I’m not a pro with the Spiderman song.

BigMikeInAustin,

“Own”

It’s all rental levels these days.

BigMikeInAustin,

The Sony rules turned me off of PlayStation.

BigMikeInAustin,

A handheld gaming PC would work for me. I’m going for the highest frame rate with the most detail. Plus, it’s portable!

BigMikeInAustin,

Liking or disliking a 2D game is not a generational divide.

Fallout never was everyone’s cup of tea.

BigMikeInAustin,

That’s going to cause a lot more scammers stealing from kids. And a lot of charge backs.

BigMikeInAustin,

Well, that’s gonna make Rafael Edward Cruz’s daughter’s school life even harder. She has come out as bi. www.sgn.org/story.php?312345

BigMikeInAustin,

Welcome back to the good side.

BigMikeInAustin,

“Removing safety measures was supposed to only hurt other people, not me!”

BigMikeInAustin,

Yes, they do notice. But the point is bad laws are only for “the others” and there are supposed to be exceptions in the law for white evangelicals.

“Those welfare immigrants who just take government assistance to stay home all day and also took all the jobs. Those immigrants who are international spies infiltrating the American government, but also are laid up pregnant all day, popping out babies.”

BigMikeInAustin,

AltText: You put funny people in funny costumes and paint then green and we could talk about anything we wanted to, because that was the only thing that fascinated Gene about this particular genre. - Majel Barrett

BigMikeInAustin,

You only got part of the quote, and not the part that really is what the article is about.

I understand that Canonical has every right to make the decision about their product. You want to promote Snap over Deb, fine. But don’t do it in a deceiving manner.

And there is a pretty reasonable middle ground:

If you would like to keep your ‘Snap store’ deb-free, fine! At least have the decency to provide Gdebi by default for local deb file installation.

BigMikeInAustin,

It’s almost like you didn’t read the article, because this specific point is addressed.

BigMikeInAustin,

But how is a new person supposed to know that? Ubuntu is still at the top of many charts. And has years of previous positive reviews.

BigMikeInAustin,

Yup, that was a whole kerfuffle. That is what got me to stop installing Ubuntu.

BigMikeInAustin,

Hey, um, how is this name pronounced? Is it with a W sound? Slightly similar to “wong?”

BigMikeInAustin,

I mean, my TV Guide interview was six paragraphs about my BOOBS and how they fit into my suit.

BigMikeInAustin,

Yup, that was my first thought, too!

BigMikeInAustin,

If there are too many patients, can that Texas politician’s grandma give up her life for the economy?

(99% positive the politician was from Texas. Pretty this statement wasn’t from Ted Cruz, but maybe. During COVID saying that grandmas in nursing homes would give up their life to open up lockdowns to restore the economy.)

BigMikeInAustin,

Thanks.

Yeah, they are just different faces of the same evil.

BigMikeInAustin,

So, in Germany, does anything happen to this Russia war enabler? Or is it like America where someone just screams “both sides” and “but his tan suit” and all courts and laws get disabled?

BigMikeInAustin,

Darn.

Thanks for the info. (Not sarcasm)

BigMikeInAustin,

Hmm. It doesn’t do good in atmospheric wind. But would it theoretically be fine attached to a space ship traveling at warp speed?

BigMikeInAustin,

What would cause her to help the campaign?

She could have just faded into history and some people could have believed she was just stuck in a bad place.

But now she is choosing to go back in?

Byron is 18 now, so he will be off to college, so she won’t be able to use “mothering my son” as an excuse to escape the White House if her husband wins. She will have to be around her husband all the time.

What horrible secrets is she hiding about herself that she needs her husband to win?

BigMikeInAustin,

So Republicans are ok without wheelchair ramps being mandated, or wide doors, or handicap parking spots?

BigMikeInAustin,

Ukraine should only consider the comments of countries sending money and weapons.

When the US starts to send money again, then the US can comment.

BigMikeInAustin,

Stupid US-ians.

BigMikeInAustin,

I used to love playing with dirt. Simpler times. Then they tricked me into getting an education and then a job.
