K so mea culpa, I think I misconflated the assistant district attorneys consulting with the NEW DA, the blond chick. She came across as very judgely but she seems to have replaced former DA Adam Schiff.
So no unauthorized ex parte hanky-panky. I was clearly too drunk and blind to be just ⚖️
Edit: in my defense, the DA’s chambers are very similar to the in camera chambers 🤔 and she may or may not have been drinking
Well, you should be able to.
Maybe lemmy.world had some technical difficulties.
My home instance had issues with outgoing federation for 2 days after upgrading to 0.19.0-rc.x, though that’s expected since 0.19 is still very much experimental.

Diablo II Resurrected. I’ve been playing it (Diablo II) for 20 years now. Even though I know the game inside out, a new rare rune drop can still make my day. I usually listen to podcasts meanwhile.
Vampire Survivors was tons of fun until I unlocked pretty much everything, but it also goes great with podcasts.
Clone Hero. Even though I only have a keyboard (so say goodbye to the fast strum bits), It often takes me from ‘I just want to chill’ to ‘this song was FIRE’.
Don’t think that’s an option really, the file manager is like the android version of the open file dialog in Windows now. Ever since they implimented secure app storage. Like op replied to you it’s mostly hard coded in the apps or something. It’s gonna get worse too, pretty sure android 12 made it so you can’t use a third party camera for pictures taken through other apps, and on my OP9 Pro you can’t select a alternative gallery app.
I work in repair and we often simply use eBay. We do sometimes get items from AliExpress when it isn’t available on eBay however. We usually use eBay because shipping is generally much faster, and easier to return defective items (plus batteries from there are sketchy at times).
Depending on the part there may be other suppliers, like in the US we have used bright focal for laptop screens and there are likely different suppliers for Europe.
As a guy that works at a repair store, used laptops are insanely cheap. You’ll get a much more powerful and capable laptop if you go used, and you’re not at any risk because many reputable sellers and refurbishers will provide warranties too.
Most importantly when looking on eBay for laptops you want an SSD, if it says it’s using an HDD or “hard drive” avoid it. SSDs are 6x faster or more than HDDs and are much more reliable in mobile devices. They are cheap now too and most quality refurbs will have an SSD in most of their devices.
A lot of SSDs are somewhat low capacity so make sure she gets a little more storage than what she needs right now, but also external storage is pretty effective if the laptop’s storage gets a little full.
Other important features. 1080 HD screen. This will be really nice to have and often means that the processor on the laptop is pretty decent too for day to day tasks (most modern CPUs on many computers are far more powerful than most people ever need).
8gb or preferably 16gb of RAM. A lot of new computers today have a lot of RAM, which now means software devs are a lot lazier optimizing their programs. More RAM nowadays is really important and for good longevity I highly recommend 16gb.
Availability of parts. If you’re interested in a laptop, open a new eBay tab and put in “laptop model number parts”. If you see an abundance of cheap parts available that’s a very good sign. This means repairs are not only possible but likely easy and cheap.
Additionally feel free to ask questions, if you see a laptop that’s great but lacks a bit of ram, or has an SSD a little too small you can ask the seller to upgrade it. It’s gonna cost a little but shouldn’t be much. Unfortunately screens and processors (in most cases!) cannot be upgraded and usually not worth asking.
Thanks, I really appreciate the advice! I think I’m going to take someone else’s recommendation and get a refurb from NewEgg because the prices look good, but I wanted to know about the RAM because that seems to be a big price point. If 16 is preferable, that’s what we’ll go for, so thank you for telling me about that. I was planning on getting an SSD instead of an HDD anyway due to the speed and reliability as you say. I’m not too worried about storage because I am guessing most of the things she has to save for school will be cloud-based. Certainly in the (shitty) online program she’s in now, all of her work is done in the lessons, which are sort of PowerPoint slides but more interactive. I don’t even know for sure if we couldn’t just go with a Chromebook instead, but they say Windows or Mac OS, so I have to go with what they say. Anyway, it looks like Chromebooks aren’t any cheaper than refurbished notebooks running Windows 10. Thanks again for the advice!
I’m sometimes baffled by people. My dog is a member of my family not a pet. My job is to protect her not hurt her. Surely a tall enough fence and a solution to prevent digging under are better than a torture device???
Are you guys all locking your dogs outside for long periods unsupervised?
