It should be illegal to scan or redeem your lotto tickets before 9am. Some people are just trying to get to work, but nooope, gotta wait behind the superstitious lady who only wants every second scratch&win with a serial number that ends in 2 or some crap.

Yep! Co-worker had 2 old laptops, threw a SSD into one of them and put Zorin OS on it for his daughter to do schoolwork on. Not one complaint or question about how to do anything, and it’s been a year. The other one was very very underpowered so I threw CasaOS onto it and got him setup with Home Assistant and Adguardhome.

As someone who has to deal with rims and tires all day, I freaking hope this never happens. I would rather be stabbed in the leg with a rusty knife than deal with tires packed with sealant.

I cannot even begin to count the number of times I’ve needed to used the emergency eyewash station because of tire sealant, even with eye protection, the stuff gets everywhere, and customers always seem to “forget” that they used an entire can of sealant to fix their tire leak so we get to be covered in the stuff for hours and scrub the machines down, the walls, the floors everything. Ask any Tire tech what they think of fix-a-flat or tire sealant and you’ll likely get a similar response.

I may be completely out of the loop here so correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t China making a monumental shift towards solar and renewables right now as well? Why would they need LNG when they have record amounts of renewables being implemented and an established Coal system.

I repair and upgrade classic video game consoles. RGB modding NES, Adding HDMI output to a PS1 etc. Sometimes in the case of some NEC consoles like the Turbo Duo R, I’ll buy ones that are totally hopeless (capacitors in these thing leak like crazy) and pick away at it for months, I’ve had some janky looking consoles but I’ve brought them back from the dead. Always satisfying when then work again.

Windows 11 forgetting my Bluetooth controllers constantly is part of the reason I switched to Linux.

I feel like this is my wheel house.

I tried playing through TotK on original hardware, After a week or so when the emulation was better I switched to PC and restarted. I found it so much better, the constant frame rate drops on original hardware drove me crazy.
