I’ve generally had good luck with hardware and things just worked under linux. But one day I upgraded a few machines on my network to 2.5G ethernet. Several already had the ports, but my little NUC NAS box didn’t, so I installed a 2.5G usb ethernet dongle. No matter what I did, I couldn’t get it to work. It would show up and NM would act like it was up and there were no errors or anything, but it just wouldn’t actually function.

Eventually, I found out that it has a built in USB data partition that contains the drivers for windows. The card was coming up as a usb disk first when the hardware was assigned and not a network card which it should have been.

I had to write a blacklist the usb modules first, which I had done before, but I had to also write a udev rule to automatically add the network card and driver on boot. It wasn’t that difficult to actually do, but I had just never had to do anything with udev rules before. Took me a good three days of troubleshooting to finally get everything to work correctly on boot.

ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="20f4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="e02c", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe r8152" RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 20f4 e02c > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8152/new_id'"

I got so tired of them that I actually answered one a few weeks ago. I was shocked that an actual person answered.

I asked to be taken off and she was very nice and they actually did it.

Haven’t received one since.

You can see the awful, misaligned panel gaps in those photos.

It wasn’t a suggestion at all.

I was just saying that we, the consumer are going to end up paying for it somehow or another.

Like they’re going to just take the lack of those fee profits off the bottom line. Look forward to the new and/or increased yearly fees now.

I watch all sorts of urbex and abandoned exploration videos. The Proper People are great.

Rust to running videos about restoration of old cars and heavy machinery. vice Grip Garage is great, that guys a hoot.

Lately I’ve been into the guy’s channel who bought the old Cerro Gordo mine and had been doing cool videos where he explores the old mines like 900 feet underground.

I’ve been into Heavy D Sparks rescue and recovery videos too.

If you asked me a few years ago, I would have not even said I’m interested in any of these, but with the flood of useless “creator” content, I think they’re pretty interesting.

Nice find!

I’d be curious to see RTINGS do a review of the panel on it.

I thought I was 43 for probably close to a year, and even told everyone that asked I was until I had to get my own health insurance and found out I was actually 44.

Except if you care about anything having to do with picture quality, brightness, contrast ratio or features such as HDR etc, then it’s going to be a really shitty TV. They’re made for the menus at McDonald’s, not a device for modern media.

If you disable the Ethernet/WiFI then you can create a local account, but you have to do a small.extra step…

press SHIFT+F10 keys to open Command Prompt.

Run the following: OOBE\BYPASSNRO

After this, setup will reboot the computer and you’ll get a new option I don’t have Internet or Continue with limited setup to skip the Internet requirement and you can create a local account as well.

Sync for Android can filter instances

Lol, what? There is no malware in classic shell, or start11 or explorer patcher. Wtf are you talking about?

This is only the 3764th post this week…

Just found out it won’t work on Google Fi :(

I can’t help you with the keyboard recommendations, but I just want to say that thing is hilarious. I kinda want to buy one just for shits and giggles when I whip it out at the bar.

Sometimes you can just tell something sucks without even using it… All you need to know comes from looking at the fonts and button designs. What car is this?

Except you still pay for Prime so it doesn’t really matter if your delete the app…

The iPhone is not anywhere close to being able to play any AAA titles at 4k with raytracing, what are you smoking? Cause I want some… just cause it’s running at a 4k res with some sort of “raytracing” activated does not equate to anything near what the lame ass consoles can do, much less a PC with a decent GPU. It’s just not the same when it comes down to the rendered frames being compared.

A mobile port is just not even in the same ball park.

Such a fun game to play with a partner. It has a great story… My GF and I made it pretty far but she just doesn’t have the controller skills to manage a certain boss fight later game. I’m trying to get her to play other games to get some practice. I’d really like to finish it.

I still use Feedly daily!
