TVA

I honestly have no idea how WaterWorld was not a huge hit, I loved that movie … I’m also very afraid to re-watch it since I haven’t seen it in quite a while.

This is mine too!

It’s absolutely INSANE, nothing like the games and somehow it still works in a weird way for me - and somehow still manages to show more love/respect to the source material than some other adaptations I’ve seen (even while being nothing like the source material)!

For anyone that hasn’t looked into the behind the scenes of this movie, you NEED to!

The crew openly wore custom made shirts shitting on the directors, the actors were drunk most of the time, Leguizamo had his leg broken on set! … Haskins was stabbed FOUR times, electrocuted, drowned AND had his finger broken [anytime you see him holding something over his hand, it’s likely because he was hiding the cast]! Mario Mario had a lot of reasons to be so grumpy!

That was the first thing I checked and was also surprised!

Not directly, but a key point of his thesis is that solar by itself (with batteries) can provide 85% more power than we currently use by only using the land that currently grows corn for biofuel on. He mentions wind as well.

Nuclear has its own lies spread about it that are completely independent of what renewables get and it has its own caveats, so, it does kind of make sense to not really bring it up since that could warrant its own video. Illinois has nuclear power, so, I can’t imagine it was an accidental oversight.

Right?! I love the people giving ‘help’ on how to launch the terminal in other ways, lol, but, this was the worst of them.

This isn’t OOP saying “OMG! For terminal specifically, Windows is making it so difficult for me! Please, someone, show me another way to get to the terminal! Bonus points if you can be a jerk while doing so!” It’s them saying “Windows start menu search is fucking broke as hell and here is an example”

Saying that people are ‘cringe’ for expecting the search to work isn’t helpful at all (people giving tips on other ways to get to programs though, yeah, that can be helpful to try and help others work around MS breaking basic functionality). This is functionality that has been in Windows since Windows 7 and has been in every OS with a GUI that I’ve used for a really long time … expecting it to work isn’t absurd in the least.

Can’t we all just join together in our disappointment/hatred of the Start Menu Search functionality and the enshittification of the OS in general rather than having to try and make it into a “I’m so much better than you because I do this in a power user way”? Especially when that power user way isn’t even useful for a lot of applications!

It’s like on my old Nvidia SHIELD, an update rolled in and all of a sudden there are ads on the homepage. Some people were ok with TV/movie ads being on a TV/movie device, but, why the hell would I want ads for content only available on services that I don’t have? If they’d at least only given me ads for the services it knew I was subscribed to, I would have at least been less pissed off since it could have been useful.

Reached out to Nvidia and they say there isn’t anything they can do, it’s built that way by Google. By no means do I just blindly accept that that was accurate, but, it’s still bullshit that with a basic update all of a sudden the nature of my device was completely changed (imo) and I’m expected to just suck it up or work around it with 3rd party launchers that weren’t as polished.

Dunno if it’s gotten better/worse in the last couple years, mine died and I elected to not replace it with another Android device.

Is this you? If so, my wife wonders what camera and software you used!

I was the same and then I rebuilt a server that originally took me forever to get up and running with all it’s weird requirements and had it going in docker in like 30 minutes with my old settings imported in.

I still compartmentalize individual programs into their own VM/CTs though, even when using docker.

Still have no idea how to package one together myself though.

Right! The manufacturers know this is a bubble and aren’t going to put themselves into debt to build new factories! They’re going to ride the bubble til it pops and then try to go back to normal, but significantly richer.

“We interviewed ourselves and we all agree that we’re great!” –DNC, apparently

Honestly, any movie Leto is in, replacing him with Jim Carrey would improve it.

Right‽ I don’t think anyone expected spinners to outlast SATA SSDs!

Right‽

“the problem isn’t capitalism! It’s [the natural consequences of capitalism]!”

Like, I’m sorry, but to me, this isn’t the stunning argument OP seems to think it is.

Yeah, but MP was very obviously a “designed for Enshittification” company when they were charging like $20 for unlimited movies in a month and paying out full price for movie tickets that in my area were around $16 … if I used it twice they lost a lot of money. Hell, if I used it 3x in 2 months they still lost money.

For my family, it was very much a “this isn’t going to last, enjoy it while you can” program…

It did definitely show that people not going to movies isn’t a shift in people’s enjoyment at theaters and is instead very clearly a cost issue. Price it appropriately and people will be back in the seats. Price it too high and they’ll just wait the 3 months until it comes out on streaming/disc or just completely forget about it altogether

Just my $.02

ETA: You’re willing to overlook sticky floors or whatever at a $5 matinee, you’re not going to overlook it paying nearly $20 and the nicer chairs are now an expectation and not just a ‘value add’, so that’s not enough!

For a camera I’ve got that I don’t care too much about, I had to give it a ~50KB network connection out and then it gets its handshake, but, doesn’t have a good enough connection to actually upload video and then all the local features stay working. Eventually, I’ll replace it, but, it’s monitoring a place that I don’t care about too much, so, it’s low on the priority list.

Unfortunately, a light doesn’t need much in the way of a connection to begin with, but, if it needs some kind of handshake, maybe you can watch the traffic with Wireshark and whitelist that specific traffic or see if someone else has done the work for it (a quick search didn’t show anything for me, but, I haven’t gone in depth or anything)

Same for me, looks like us diverging for the third one saved it :-D

It’s supposed to be a place to showcase art, not a free place to advertise for your store.

The dude(ette) didn’t even post a link though from what I can see, so, the reaction is insane.

Print on demand is easy, so, I’d think any artist who’s showing off their work online should have a printer that they’ve run off a few test prints with already ready to go, in case people are interested enough to ask about purchases, but, I’m not trying to moderate a magazine/community and prevent it from being a giant advertisement, so, ::shrug::

On mobile, I use Interstellar to connect to a MBin instance.

Agreed, they’re not supposed to be laws, they’re supposed (as far as I understand it anyways) to essentially be “as the head of the Executive branch, here is how I want my underlings to handle/interpret this particular thing that the Executive branch already has authority over” … it really doesn’t make sense that they’d last any longer than that particular Presidents term(s).
