That has 8GB RAM. The only reason the Pi in the headline is so expensive is the 16GB RAM. As others mentioned, the 1GB or 2GB options are a fraction of the cost.

I was a data analyst/engineer in the government when we got told our government wanted a list of all algorithms used across government.

We had to seek clarity on that one, in the end it turned out there was media attention around computer decision making in application processes and they were wanting to track that.

I was explaining to my kids about floppy disks, and mentioned the save icon. The what? The button you press to save. It just says “save” they said.

I think they use the Google suite at school, and apparently the save button just says “save”. Although TBH I half expected them to not know of it because of auto-saving.

Yeah I don’t think people defederate based on what happens on your own instance, only what flows to other instances.

If you wanted to help trump, encouraging people not to vote would be almost as good as getting them to vote trump. So I’m not convinced these aren’t more Russian bot campaigns.

Jellyfin needs to handle all kinds of media. I tend to use Finamp for music and Findroid for TV/movies. Both support offline play, which last I checked Jellfin’s app still doesn’t.

I tried a few before settling on those, but I hadn’t heard of Jellybox until now so not sure how it compares.

I voted. Not from the US but that didn’t stop me. Come at me ICE.

I mean what is cheating?

I agree it’s at least not immoral cheating.

Here’s me playing on easy and looking up walkthroughs or help threads when I can’t get past a boss.

Replies on thread: yes, this part is annoying, just put it on easy for this bit and you’ll fly through.

Me: But Doctor, I Am Pagliacci!

As others say, buy a domain so it’s easier in the future.

But one thing what helped me was relay email addresses. Whether that’s Addy, Simplelogin (now owned by proton so probably not), Firefox Relay, or another. When you sign up to shit, buy something, etc, use one of these email addresses. When you eventually move to your new email address, you can cutover all those accounts to the new one by changing the settings for where it forwards email to.

You can also use your own domain with a catchall and make up your own whatever@yourdomain if you’re ready for that.

Like for picking locks?

I’m gonna disagree on the vacuum. A corded one has a cord, and cords are annoying as hell for vacuuming.

The right battery vacuum is great for grabbing and vacuuming in little bursts instead of making a big thing out of it.

Me too but it’s giving me ideas for next year.

Oh that looks interesting with good reviews, I’ve wishlited, thanks!

Oh yes I enjoyed the Saints Rows for the most part.

I don’t think I have played any Ghost Recons. I’ll put that one on my wishlist, thanks!

Ah that makes sense, thanks!

I’ve played a lot of Assassin’s Creed, I do enjoy that Ubisoft cut and paste from time to time. I also enjoyed Sleeping Dogs. And Ghosts of Tsushima is on my wish list! You know me well 😆

I never really liked the Far Cry games I tried but magbe it’s time to give it another go.

Just Cause 3 is fun because it lets you mess around. The mechanic of clearing bases isn’t really the drawcard, it’s how you have a wingsuit and a grappling gun and just fly around blowing shit up. Then helicopters come to try to stop you and you can grapple to them and pull the pilot out and take over. Or reprogram the SAMs to shoot at them instead of you. You can grapple an explosive barrel to a fuel tank and pull them together. It’s just a fun world to mess around in, and the base clearing gives you something to aim for. It also fits into the storyline, which isn’t a bad story really.

Nah I don’t believe any of the hardware has ever been sold in NZ. Just not a big enough market I guess.

I had an Index and had to use freight forwarding to get it here, and IIRC some sort of trick with the store to get it to think I was in the US and then I shipped to the US and freight forwarded on.

Btw Lemmy/Piefed let you sort by “active” which is loosly the function for a post to rise to the top when someone comments on it (it does rabk with votes too so it’s not 1:1)

If you want to hand out candy to children year round, you could consider becoming a tree? Saw this guy on the weekend, handing out lollipops to kids at the playground while playing the saxophone: https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/17-07-2022/have-you-seen-the-walking-talking-tree-of-wellington

Full disclosure, doing this may get you shot in the US, and this is not that unusual for Wellington NZ, we’re just kinda like this.
