There are times when things need to be broken. But I also definitely understand your angle.

I can tell you to rest for, I dunno, $500?

(Jokes aside, that’s shitty and I’ve been there)

Did Mira used to be Avon?

I switched.

But what about videos of DOGS farting?

It’s being pushed very hard by management where I work and I’m consistently seeing the same as above. I mentioned on another thread recently that I’ve heard “I don’t know why Claude did that” multiple times over the past few weeks.

It’s infuriating.

I’m not sure if “abcess” was intentional (“abscess”) or a typo (“absence”) but either way… it works.

I’m still running SATA spinny disks for my big-ish data. I can’t afford a 16TB SSD…

I know that’s off topic, but HDDs are still a thing too.

This.

Some of my favorite movies are “bad” movies. I’ve got a friend who feels the same way and we SMS each other single line movie titles and just know the other will understand.

A recent SMS was “poultrygeist night of the chicken dead” … It was fantastic

Mine runs on my desktop that I built in 2016. So yes. I also tested it on a Lenovo tiny (similar to a NUC) that I’m using as a self host “server” and it seemed fine but I didn’t try any heavy transcoding yet.

Grok here: computers are fine, humans were a mistake

I still type ifconfig by habit. Some kid the other day told me that you can judge a person’s age and Linux experience by whether they expect ifconfig and netstat vs ip and ss.

… I’m just glad they kept the parameters the same in ss

They will, however, ask you for the account info/receipt to recover it. When you reply, a different help desk person will reply asking for that info you just sent.

… I got to five replies (in a chain, with history and all requested info attached) before I gave up. Just another reason I hate microsoft

Real headline is always in the comments. Thank you for your service 🫡

“Bugfixes and performance improvements”

I see that one all the time from big companies because it sounds nice and tells you nothing.

One of those updates a few years included embedding adware. So, thanks for that… jackhole

Bonus points for no jailbreak required : D I didn’t even realize there was a jailbreak for it (or what benefits there are to jailbreaking it… I should do some research but I haven’t found anything I couldn’t do with the stock firmware and it sounds like you generally came to the same conclusion).

Mine is using the stock firmware, wifi off unless using Overdrive, but I plug it into my computer to charge and load it with books. It just shows up as a mass storage device like a USB thumb drive and you can copy/paste books onto it (or use Calibre). After disconnecting it will scan for new/changed files and auto-import any recognized formats into the reader application.

Also saying Kobo. I’ve got the Kobo Libra Colour and love it.

It’s the only ereader I’ve ever owned but I used the spouse’s Nook and Kindle a couple of times in the past and the Kobo kills it. Granted, we’re talking about a nearly new release of the Kobo vs a 5+ year old Kindle so it’s not a fair comparison.

Because of eInk and auto-sleep, the battery lasts me well over a month of casual reading (~30min before bed) with the occasional multi hour weekend session. Backlight is present and is totally readable in dark areas at <10% brightness; 100% brightness is like a supernova in your face. While the Libra Colour is not specifically a note-taking tablet like a reMarkable, it does just fine for quick notes/todo lists/etc but I did splurge on the ($60) stylus. There’s a “notes” application that comes pre-installed.
eBook support for writing in margins (or over text), underline/circling, highlighting, etc is really nice but occasionally the highlight is flakey when trying to highlight the end of a paragraph. That seems to have been specific to certain epubs rather than an “always” thing, but it happens in around 20% of epubs I’ve used.

EDIT: Notes and highlights you do in an epub (and presumably other formats) are exportable to your PC via Calibre (“Annotations”). I love this because I like to highlight things I find interesting, particularly good quotes, and this gives me an easy way extract them while retaining a reference to which book it was and where exactly in the book it was. Example attached.

Not that I would know from experience, but I hear there are Calibre plugins that will allow a user to pull the DRM’d book (downloaded via Overdrive) to a computer and remove the DRM.

I’ve read that it’s a polite thing to do because you’re able to return borrowed books much more quickly so other users can check them out.

Yeah, and it varies by station. I push all the buttons. Some times one works, some times not.
