  • Jonathan Frakes Surprised ‘Strange New Worlds’ Star Trek Spoof Was Controversial; Talks Directing ‘Academy’ And More

    Jump

  • No, not really. I just can't stand musicals. It doesn't matter how good an episode or movie is otherwise, I just can't enjoy musicals.

    I also didn't want to completely skip the episode and miss any plot points, so mute with subtitles worked nicely.

  • That was the only episode of any Trek series where I had to watch the majority of it on mute.

  • Do you happen to use an ISP that implements CGNAT? I've seen this error, too, and I've read that it's flagging CGNAT IPs as a VPN?

  • Please spare me from having to get in touch with that shit I wrote back then

    Jump

  • I think age of code plays a big part. 2 years ago: Yeah, I could do better, but it's workable. 15 years ago: Delete everything and just start from scratch.

  • Why is it often cheaper to buy new than repair old and how can repairing be encouraged on different levels of society?

    Jump

  • I'm one of those people that has the technical knowledge to repair most electronics. I still buy new sometimes.

    A while ago, I had to repair a faulty pellet stove. It was obvious that the main control board was bad (there was a single small circuit board connected to a handful of relays and sensors, all of which tested as good). This board contained a small cheap microcontroller, a few MOSFETs, and a handful of discrete components. A replacement was $500. Maybe $10 in parts at the most, and they wanted to charge me half the cost of the entire appliance.

    I was able to isolate the problem to a bad MOSFET and order a new one for about 50 cents. Had this been a complex circuit, there's no way in hell I could have found the problem without a schematic.

    So in my opinion, the problem is twofold. Manufacturers want ridiculous prices for replacement parts, and no documentation exists to repair the parts themselves. They obviously have schematics from when they designed the board. They should be forced to release them.

  • Have you ever worked for a scam?

  • I can kind of get the logic behind this if you were an overseas call center. If you're already based in the US, why lie? I can't imagine why a call center would think being located in CA instead of OR would make the slightest difference.

  • The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb

    Jump

  • My installation process for a new mouse is as follows: 1 - Attempt to plug it in. 2 - Flip the USB connector. 3 - Plug it in. 4 - Use the mouse.

    Is there anything at all to be gained from installing the software that comes with the mouse? Even with extra side buttons, I've never had anything not work out of the box.

    Edit: OP is remapping buttons. Got it.

  • I think most meters have wireless connectivity now, too. I've never once had someone physically check my meter.

  • What are some reasons a person should not visit the USA?

    Jump

  • I won't deny the fact that gun violence happens here in the US, but statistics can be deceiving when you're dealing with very small numbers. The article you linked gives a rate of 4.5 per 100,000 people in the US. That would put your country at around 0.13 per 100k.

    Out of 100k, the difference between 4.5 and 0.13 is still exceptionally small. So small that your chances of being shot if you live here your entire life are negligible. If you visit for a week or two, your chances are statistically insignificant. If you look at homicides by any means, not just firearms, this becomes even closer.

    So while what you say is accurate, you have to look at what it actually means. The United States is not "dangerous" by any stretch of the imagination. 35 multiplied by almost nothing is still almost nothing.

  • If you don't want offline maps, and you don't want to use data, what exactly are you looking for? The map has to come from somewhere.

  • What's a weird compliment you got?

    Jump

  • I'm not even sure what that could mean. Maybe using chopsticks instead of a fork? I've always just eaten food with whatever utensil is typically used for that type of cuisine. I think most people, Chinese or otherwise, eat Chinese food with chopsticks, don't they?

    Why is math a hard subject for most people?

    Jump

  • Personally, my problem was always that math concepts were never presented in a way that actually made sense in the "real world."

    I was taught that complex numbers were real numbers with imaginary parts that had something to do with the square root of -1. Yeah, I get it, but... why?

    Fast forward a few decades and I'm writing code that processes a digitized waveform. Now it makes sense. Math isn't hard when you have a frame of reference. Learning math concepts solely for the sake of learning them is very hard.

  • 58% Of PC Gaming Revenue Came From Microtransactions In 2024 - Insider Gaming

    Jump

  • This really surprises me. I'd expect this from mobile games. I play exclusively on PC, and I've never even been offered to participate in a micro transaction. Maybe I'm just playing the wrong (right?) games?

  • "I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?

    Jump

  • Isn't this kind of a roundabout way of saying "I'm a libertarian that isn't into wearing tinfoil hats?"

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • This is also true of Jellyfin, though. I have apps on my Windows PC, my Android phone, multiple Nvidia Shield boxes on my TVs, plus the web interface if I need it.

    I switched over from Plex several years ago, and while it takes a bit more time to configure, compatibility for clients seems just as good for Jellyfin as it is for Plex.

    Most importantly, Jellyfin is strictly client/server, no "cloud" bullshit and no remote account is required; I don't want Plex phoning home with a list of the media on my file server.

  • The Complete List of Elon Musk Companies

    Jump

  • Personally, I'd really like the option of running LLMs locally, but the hardware requirements make it hard. Small models run okay on CPU or low-end GPUs, but anything approaching the complexity and usefulness of GPT4 or DeepSeek requires a hefty GPU setup. Considering how much even old hardware like the P40 has gone up in price, it's hard to justify the cost.

  • What's the deal with OpenAI and xAI? Apparently he is no longer on the board of OpenAI but is still a financial backer. Yet he's also starting a company to compete directly with them. Why sabotage his own interests?

  • Help with lxc write access

    Jump

  • I believe you're correct. I didn't realize that I had my containers set to privileged. That would explain why I've never had issues with mounting shares.

  • Help with lxc write access

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, I think I gave you bad information. I have my containers set to unprivileged=no. I forgot about the "double negative" in how that flag was described.

    So apparently my containers are privileged, so I don't think I've ever tried to do what you are doing.
