Clockwise, counter clockwise. Classic time shorthand (IE, half past ten, quarter to eleven). Time estimations (easy to see a half minute on a analog clock, digital just goes from 2:00 to 2:01)

I think analog clock displays are more elegant, and are overall nicer than digital. Personal preference though.

I had the FX8350 Black Edition, and that thing would keep my room at 70f… In the winter… With a window open.

Summer gaming was BSOD city. I miss it so much.

Maybe. I’d expect the sediment and rocks to be settling down instead of of up. I’m in the 80% sure range that this is right-side up.

I think it is a free diver sitting on the edge of a blue hole.

Russia won’t make it past Finland.

Only slightly higher chance that they actually get to market too… Fingers crossed for 2025.

In the US, you own the airspace up to the highest point of your property, including structures (and maybe trees). You also technically own your underground property to the center of the earth, but you may not have mineral rights to it.

Just charge it and use it. Recharging and discharging the battery shortens the life of the battery. In an ideal world, you would charge the laptop battery to 50% and then never charge or use it again, but that’s makes your battery fucking useless.

So use your laptop. My advice is to keep it plugged in as much as possible. Most laptops (even 10 years ago) can run directly off the wall power, which stops the battery from degrading (as fast) as older laptops where they were constantly powered by the battery, and the charger just kept it topped off.

Most of the battery advice you hear is just voodoo bullshit, or it makes a very small difference in the overall life of the battery. Just use your computer like normal.

If someone you’re with has a phone on them, even if it’s off, you’re probably being tracked.

Doorbell is wireless, from temu, and is missing FCC compliance sticker.

Just a hunch.

Yeah, Acer is complete junk. Shame they bought gateway and skull fucked that brand into the ground.

Probably a bit of both to be honest. Thanks for clarifying.

This is the way. Although, to clarify, you should assign static IPs on your DHCP server, which for most SOHO networks, that’s going to be your router.

If you assign statics on your hosts, your DHCP server will assign them the preferred address if available, but if it’s already assigned then the DHCP server is going to give your device the middle finger and assign them whatever the fuck it wants.

Are you assigning the static address on your pi, or are you assigning a static address on the router?

Never forget? In some states it’s downright illegal to teach kids that complex, sophisticated and civilized societies existed here before white people showed up.

Yeah this is true. My partner’s car has a front facing camera that easily has enough resolution to ID license plates. Rear cam too. It could very easily log the plate and an image of every car that drives near it. No amount of (legally) wrapping your car in tinfoil will stop someone else’s vehicle from reporting your movements.

Probably not a “hard drive”, as vibration and shock are common things that cars experience, and not something that a hard drive handles well.

It would probably be easier and less damaging to find the fuse for the antenna/transmitter and pull it. That being said, it will probably stop the buttons on your keyfob from working. I think the keyless/touchless entry would still work. IIRC, that system works with active RFID near the door handles.

I’ll add here that not only can you setup your pi to block ads, but you can also host your own VPN on it at the same time. So now I can block ads with mine, even when I’m not at home.

Eh, not really, at least in the US. You are paid to do your job. The company doesn’t own you during work hours. You can refuse to do work that was not in your job description, or ask for additional compensation. The company may fire you for this, but you would have a very compelling wrongful termination lawsuit.
