68·1 year agoGood comedy can punch up, but very rarely works when punching down. Punching down is generally just bullying in disguise.

1·1 year agoHeh. My reading 1996 ticket was less that £50. I can’t remember exactly now, but it wasn’t super expensive. Saw the last? live performance of the stone roses after their brief reunion. Also saw the weddos that day, by far the most fun. The smosh pit for it was amazing.
Knebworth was kinda legendary in the 70s and 80s, lots of huge bands did a “festival” there on occasion. And yeah, 1996 Oasis was by far their tiptop peak. Weirdly I actually saw Oasis once before, they were touring small(ish) pub venues a few weeks before cigarettes and alcohol was released, at the Cambridge boat race. Quite the show. They played a bunch of songs that’d be on definitely maybe.

31·1 year agoI paid £22.50 for my Knebworth ticket to see Oasis in 1996. Beer was expensive but the lines were so long that two or three was all that was feasible. Instead I got stoned off my face and zoned out on a little hill behind the vip area. It was amazing but I was so smashed that my memory is fuzzy. Ah well. My sister just paid over £1000 for four tickets to oasis. I think I got a rather better deal than her.

9·1 year agoSo I should include the 4 Saturdays I worked as a 6’2 tall Kid Vid (the short lived burger king mascot) in 1993 in Crawley Town centre (and scared a lot of kids because I was WAY TOO TALL - the costume was designed for a 5’4 girl), because it’s relevant experience to my 30 year career in it consultancy. Gotcha

49·1 year agoBut the CEO’s third luxury yacht? What about that?
Price decreases are actually negative inflation and have all sorts of whacked out effects on an economy. It was a concern during COVID due to the huge drop in consumer spending forcing some prices to start to decrease.
Probably some sort of trolling effort sadly. Like an as yet unaired bit for a tv show.
And this is the fifth line of four…

Technology@lemmy.world•Researchers discover potentially catastrophic exploit present in AMD chips for decadesEnglish
111·1 year agoI’ll bet the Intel management engine is just as “vulnerable”. The only context this is likely a concern is large scale corpo deployments, without verified supply chains to the source. Love how the security researcher handwaves that there’s “plenty of existing exploits” that can be used to install the exploit into the SMM, without giving any suggestions of how.

Linux@lemmy.ml•XPipe 10 comes with web service port-forwarding, markdown notes, better proxmox support, a new HTTP API, and more
1·2 years agoFair enough. But the fact I can’t even use it to connect to my homelab proxmox cluster kinda has to be a dealbreaker for me. Even a trial period to allow me to try and experience everything would be sufficient in my opinion. On the fuzzy thing, I’m using gnome desktop, with latest gnome shell in debian sid, on an Nvidia 20280 using the proprietary driver (latest in debian experimental). It’s connected to three 2k/1440p monitors running at 144/60/60hz. If that helps at all. The tooltips are most notably fuzzy. It looks like it’s being antialiased multiple times or something?

4·2 years agoLocking basic homelab functions behind a $50/year license means it is purged. Sad, because it had potential, though it suffers from a weird text scaling issue that means everything is just very slightly blurry.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says?
4·2 years agoCheck your power. I’ve had about 50 led bulbs for about 7 or more years. Only the ones in the bathroom failed because they were cheap and not rated for use in a wet and humid environment. Their replacements are coming up on 4 years old now and no signs of trouble. None of the bulbs were particularly expensive when I bought them.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?
10·2 years agoI used to hear tv tubes, power supplies and all sorts of high frequency noise. These days I mostly just hear tinnitus. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



It’s an absolute calamity here. My four haven’t stopped reminding me for the last 30 minutes. They still have 30 minutes to wait. They will wait.
