Unless it’s really old, just return it.

They did put the power button on the keyboard though, which was pretty awesome

Loved every bit of it and still super bitter about it’s cancellation.

Just a bit of context, the card was outside the sub and built into a camera that was rated for that depth.

That’s definitely on the low end, at my employer we spend around 20k per server, that’s for 256 cores, 2tb of ram and some nvme.

It’s not any one platform that is too complicated, it’s that none of it was standardized. So once you have support for one phone completely done, the next model is already released 6 months ago and you have to start almost from scratch again.

Pixel was one exception to this, because Google would release and document all the modifications needed to run Android. Unfortunately they stopped doing this as well.

Contrast this to the x86 PC and laptop market and everything basic, like how to discover hardware, how to boot is all a documented standard. Even though on PC, you still have to deal with drivers for specific hardware.

Another reason why PC is much easier for Linux is that much of the hardware is shared with servers and for servers, Linux is absolutely a first class operating system, which all but some extremely niche hardware manufacturers fully support.

Couldn’t agree more, it’s not exactly a faithful adaptation, but I feel they did a damn good job conveying the overall message and story.

Wikipedia defines car-free islands as “islands inhabited by humans which have legally restricted or eliminated vehicle traffic from their territories.”

Schiermonnikoog qualifies as car-free, since driving is prohibited unless one has been granted special dispensation.

That being said, although high on my list, I haven’t visited yet, so I can’t say how common cars really are.

There is a special place in hell for those fuckers

In Northern Ireland they load them with fuel

Kind of hard to see the scale, but the drive that this removable platter would go into, took the full width of a 19" rack.

It once held several megabytes, but now it’s a decoration in my office.

I recently made www.timedial.org, using mainly HTML 3.2. I tried HTML 2.0, but the lack of tables, fonts and even text alignment was a bit too much.

I had a few bitcoins back in the day, I remember trying to mine some, but I think someone just gave a bunch.

Either way, I long ago wiped the disks that they were on and I know for sure I would have sold them as soon as they would have been worth a nice pizza or similar anyway.

There is no way I would have believed it would ever become valuable, let alone this insane.

It’s not great with a family, each with multiple devices. Years ago I used it with a central MySQL db, but it was a huge pain and frequently broke with updates.

As mentioned by others, Jellyfin is an amazing alternative and I’ve been using it for a few years already.

It was great to see that after all these years, and countless hours playing it, I still absolutely suck at it.

6ft8 here, with most of my height in my legs. I feel you, even large cars often have absurdly large dashboards and I still won’t fit in them.

I’ve had to ask to swap my rental car several times already.

Wow, just looked it up, but it didn’t quite hit me until I saw one of those things work.

How do the other apps compare to Boost. I was too lazy to try anything else and just switched from Boost for Reddit to Boost for Lemmy when they killed the API.

Hey, don’t talk like that about us, we cleared some bushes at the border so we could see them coming and cycle away in time.
