I’ve heard there are mods to play it on a flat screen. Obvs you’d lose a lot of the experience, but that would be a way to get the story.

Yeah some laser printers can for sure pop a circuit breaker in older houses

IIRC in the UEFI (aka BIOS), there’s usually a setting to dictate what a tap of the power button does—usually sleep, hibernate, or power off.

Try tapping F10, F12, or Del during early startup to get into the UEFI setup

I wouldn’t know, I haven’t tried it with windows. Only Mac and Linux

Yeah I did install Linux (Mint) on my MacBook Pro 2014. Maybe three months ago. Do. Not. Recommend.

It installed fine. I had to search and install three or four drivers. Fine. But getting the webcam to work was a jumble of mismatched, often contradictory tools and instructions. After lots of hacky attempts, I finally got off-color, blocky, low frame rate video out of it. And there was one other aspect—maybe sleeping—where I tried a bunch of shit and never got it to work. Not to mention it was slower doing comparable tasks vs. MacOS

I have two other Linux machines in the house. They work great for what they need to do. But it’s not the right tool for every application, and anyone who says it is is just being silly.

Bobby Fingers is good if you want sculpting with chill narration. (And bonkers subjects)

Wait wtf you put American cheese on your apple pie?!?

Are you from the US? I’ve never heard of that, and honestly I’m horrified and intrigued

And it’s on mobile so she can start there without buying any new hardware

Yeah, about the only place I trust for electronics reviews is rtings, and usually consumer reports for household appliances. Everywhere else seems infected by the affiliate bug

I’ve had good experiences emulating PS2 on my Steam Deck. PS3 I haven’t gotten anything to run well enough that I’d call it enjoyable. Some don’t run at all

Lemmy needs people with a wider range of expertise and interests. Right now it’s more niche than reddit c.2010

Housing was too expensive and we wanted to move back east closer to family. Most of our Oakland friends took a similar path between ‘18 and ‘22

Yeah if I see a “used once” tool on Craigslist, I’m not paying 95% of retail for it

Yeah I borrowed a bunch of hand and power tools from the Oakland public library when I lived there in the 2010s. They also had a shit ton of video games

The only time google gets me better results than DDG now is if I have a really vague question, like “movie where the guy wears a trash bag on his leg and has a piña colada on the train to Milwaukee”

It’s just the book and verse number on screen, like “Psalms 3:10” or whatever. Along with a graphic of a mouse(?) in a hat.

Usually in the last 10 seconds or so of the video IIRC

lol yeah, in the 90s you could go in there and buy a couple resistors, a couple capacitors, and a couple (expensive, crappy) LEDs

I can see how that didn’t work out for them though

You can use “extensions” for Safari, and there are at least a couple ad blocking extensions. I use Purify, and it works pretty well at blocking ads

I use a Safari extension called Purify. It’s in the App Store. Works pretty well for me.

(I also use a pi-hole at home)

So if I were looking to fly with this in mind, you have any suggestions on finding flights on Airbus or older Boeing planes? I.E. is there a flight search site where you can specify? Or at least where it shows the plane on the search results page?
