Those look like Utz cheese balls, fuckin love those things

As someone who has avidly been reading manuals since the early 90s, car manuals have always been pretty good. Home audio/video equipment has also had great manuals over the years too. I don’t recall a time these turned to shit.

Motherboards / BIOS documentation comes in dead last, and has always been shit. Dozens and dozens of proprietary settings that are not described by the manual nor the built in help, and there’s only conjecture online. At least now the English is mostly correct, but they’re still very bad at describing what niche settings do.

I point my camera at the sun all the time, It’s not harming the sensor even without a shield. I don’t get it. You don’t have to be paranoid about having the sun in frame. Maybe with a telephoto lens, or a telescope, or if you’ve got a tripod set up and the sensor is exposed for a long time. Regular shots? Go ahead and take a picture of the sun or eclipse.

Overclocking via jumpers was intense. That first boot could let out the magic smoke if you had the orientation of the half dozen jumpers flipped.

K6-2 300MHz to 400MHz was my first PC build. 64MB of RAM and a Voodoo2 8MB. I was 12 years old, a stack of Boot PC magazines was my build guide.

The reason I built that PC? I fucked up a BIOS flash on my IBM Aptiva and the local guys couldn’t figure it out. Shitty BIOS led me to a lifetime of building PCs.

You’re not supposed to drink the flocculated plastic particles. You still have to decant or filter the boiled water; this just makes it easier to remove the microplastics by increasing the particle size.

It is no longer in solution, it precipitated out. This could very well be used to reduce microplastics in water.

Seems like boiling hard water followed by filtration would do the trick. Decanting after letting the water sit for a while, to allow precipitates to fall to the bottom, could work also.

I build ratio on private trackers by getting as much freeleech stuff as I can, even though I might not be into it. Timing is key also, I’ll snatch anything I think will blow up. If you get in early you can get lots of upload. This worked great to get my initial ratio built up on what.cd and redacted.

My Microsoft Flight Simulator install is currently sitting at 800GB between official content and third party planes and scenery.

Ah, I stick to torrenting. Pirate stream websites have always seemed sketchy to me.

I’ve been pirating for years and never encountered an ad beyond subtitle ads. Is this anime specific or something?

Plok for SNES

10/10 soundtrack on this quirky platformer

You can do this with a Siri shortcut.

It still falls short because LLMs aren’t smart, they’re just approximately not wrong most of the time. I thought it would be a lot cooler than it actually is.

Absolutely not. They’re not going to forfeit the massive battery life advantage from switching to ARM, nor do they want the heat from a dGPU cooking the batteries.

Bit depth affects noise floor, not frequency range.

You are correct that the noise floor of 16 bit is well within the limits of human hearing, making 24 bit redundant outside of production.

Spotify maxes out at 256k, so you’re just wrong there.

I’ve been using it for quite a while now… it’s fine. This happens literally every single time a new windows version comes out.

The only genuinely bad Windows IME was ME. Vista had driver teething problems, and 8 had a weird UI, but outside of that… they’re all just fine.

I’ve been building PCs since the late 90s and have pirated Windows from 98 on up.
