Fragil’ee. Must be Italian!

EvilEyedPanda,

The knowledge that they were drunk the whole time puts the whole movie in a different context.

captainlezbian, in Duh !

The problem with RCA cables wasn’t the colors, it was the fact that the back of the tv was huge and you really wanted to not have to get back there. HDMI you can install by feel

Antitrust7668,

How does that even happen? 😆 These people destroying their things willy nilly

colforge,

These were clearly all done by either children or by adults who never learned to moderate their use of force. All gas no brakes. Zero sense of finesse.

Sanyanov,

I’ve read the last sentence with the air of connoisseur

Or have 0 patience and gets frustrated easily and gives in to the monkey brain solution then eventually calms down and swallows their pride and brings it in to get fixed.

frezik,

Want to know something even better? PS5s showed up on eBay like this within a month of release. Good money to be made if you were handy with a soldering iron.

tdawg,

Is your cable not fitting? Try applying unreasonable amounts of force today!

hroderic,

Also some devices would have like 5 sets of these connectors. You’d be playing around with the remote and plugging and unplugging stuff until you found the right one.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

You can? I can’t. They have to be perfectly aligned, and I can’t get HDMI or DP cables to connect without visually seeing the outlet and plug.

JackbyDev,

You have a chance to install by feel though. RCA you have to see the colors.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Ok this is true, although if I had to reconnect a device pretty often, I’d be able to feel out the location of the plugs. But otherwise, yes.

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

I can’t even feel out the location of my wife’s vagina and I’ve been reconnecting to that for years.

Props.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

We people with bad vision find a way lol

Earthwormjim91,

The first time….

After that you know which order they are in on your tv and you can just reach your hand back there. Once you have the first one in it’s easy.

JackbyDev,

I’m not really plugging and unplugging things often enough to memorize it.

captainlezbian,

It’s a pain in the ass and I usually fail, but sometimes it works. Though far more importantly, it’s easier to get behind a flat screen with a swivel base than a big crt. RCA cables were on their way out when bigger tvs stopped weighing so damn much and taking up so much depth

Perfide,

It’s tricky but it is doable, unlike with RCA where you have to plug in 3 identical connectors with the only identifier being the color.

MonkeMischief, in Do you feel the trickle yet?

I dunno the source context (looks very Family Guy/American Dad?) but the image by itself is so… Creepily unsettling. 😐

MonkeMischief,

Thanks for the context!

Yep even in the pocket-dimension of a nonsense Family Guy bit, it’s still creepy and unsettling! Lol

tygerprints, in It's beautiful

Amazing how beautiful the sky can be. We get a lot of stunning sunsets here in Utah like that one on the right. Not usually this time of year, but we've had more lately since we haven't had a lot of storms, just tons of clouds. I should take more pictures and put them on facebook or something.

appel,

Or put them on here.

tygerprints,

I could do that I guess. I had to take a photo last night of the sunset, it was stunning.

shneancy,

some folks keep daily journals

BananaOnionJuice,
@BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Right, it can be very therapeutic I hear, and along with bullet lists help people focus.

shneancy,

it’s a pretty cool habit, gives you a few minutes a day to focus on yourself and how you feel and, unlike in meditation, you also do something as you are thinking.

there have been many days i just kind of, existed during, and only at the end when i was writing in my journal i realised i’ve actually felt good/bad the entire time. It grounds you really well

Viking_Hippie, (edited ) in Picard forgot a stage

Very fitting that my birthday (tomorrow) is in that middle period since that’s basically me throughout the year 😄

Though technically the latter one is also fitting 🤷

meliaesc,

Happy Birthday!

Viking_Hippie, (edited )

Thanks! Turned out it wasn’t, though. Got Legionaire’s disease and spent most of my birthday groaning, sleeping or groaning on the toilet. Not a big fan of being 41 so far…

captain_aggravated, in Duh !
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

I miss the silver plastic era of AV equipment. Like in the mid-to-late 2000s when every TV was made of silver plastic, and it had that set of composite jacks under a flap on the front, so you could temporarily plug things in, like when your buddy brought his PS2 over. There was a button near the channel and volume buttons that switched between inputs, and it didn’t take a digital act of congress to figure out which setting would get it to display on the TV.

thegoodyinthehoody,

And that flap broke on every tv you had, so they all had the connectors exposed and hella ugly

ook_the_librarian,
@ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

My plastic flap is still intact. Probably because I only ever had it open since I couldnt be bothered to use the rear ports.

captain_aggravated,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

Now everything is a black rectangle with bullshit software and almost two HDMI ports in the back, except one has the sound bar plugged into it, and the labels are stamped into the black plastic and not painted on, and with the shadows behind the television you can’t read them. And it doesn’t work when plugged in anyway. Its easier to just not have friends so that you never have to plug other electronics in. Stare at your phones alone.

Kolanaki, (edited )
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

And it doesn’t work when plugged in anyway.

What shit ass displays are you using?

aulin,

I agree with all of this, except I’d say good riddance to the silver plastic. 😅

Clent,

HDMI for the soundbar? Why aren’t you connecting to it with an optical cable?

OneCardboardBox,

Because then you can use the ARC protocol to minimize the number of remotes. The TV will pass volume controls through the HDMI port and the sound bar will adjust volume.

Plus the reduction in magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance is a real game changer.

captain_aggravated,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

Reduces planametric replaneration and effectively eliminates side fumbling of the marzle vanes.

Earthwormjim91,

So just don’t use the built in software. I don’t have any of my TVs connected to the internet or use their built in OS. I have a couple of Apple TVs plugged in and run everything off that. Never even set the things up beyond plugging them in and switching to HDMI 1.

There’s also the Chromecast TV if you use Android.

If you use a separate smart tv device like those, then the only thing you need to care about on the TV itself is resolution, refresh, and number of ports. Or if you want to spend a chunk of change then you can look into things like OLED. But the separate devices make the TV OS irrelevant.

captain_aggravated,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

My personal TV is a Samsung commercial display unit; it isn’t Roku or Tizen or whatever else. It’s still very much a computer though, it still has a network port and keeps pestering about connecting to the internet and registering it and all that shit.

I drive it with a Raspberry Pi running Kodi.

New Pixar lore just dropped.

Lime66, in Traditional art

No, Richard, it’s ‘Linux’, not ‘GNU/Linux’. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS – more on this later). He named it ‘Linux’ with a little help from his friends. Why doesn’t he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff – including the software I wrote using GCC – and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don’t want to be known as a nag, do you?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title ‘GNU/Linux’ (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn’t the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you’ve heard this one before. Get used to it. You’ll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.

You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn’t more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn’t perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.

Last, I’d like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn’t be fighting among ourselves over naming other people’s software. But what the heck, I’m in a bad mood now. I think I’m feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn’t you and everyone refer to GCC as ‘the Linux compiler’? Or at least, ‘Linux GCC’? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD?

If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this:

Be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux’ huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don’t be a nag.

Thanks for listening.

uranibaba,

I had a “wait a moment” when I saw this picture. Your comment cleared it up. Also found it funny how Linux is hinted at as being part of the GNU project.

Imagine paying to get tapped. Never been fond of all these smart home gadgets, although I do love the features it offers. I’d buy one in a heartbeat if it wouldn’t be so privacy intrusive.

ironhydroxide,

That’s why I went home assistant and then built my own “echo”.

It’s not as feature rich, and what it has takes work to setup. But it’s totally worth it for the security/privacy

MonkeMischief,

Good news is that self-hosting with things like Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) , privacy-respecting open source smarthome stuff is becoming a lot more accessible!

Stuff that’s heavily encrypted that only you or your household can access.

It all stays local and belongs to the user, instead of relying on some monolithic tech-giant.

I just wish there was a better way to educate people about it, but there’s unfortunately billions invested in making sure people forget how technology works and waving shiny exploitative e-waste in front of them instead.

Well, they’ve gone down in price to the point that they’ll be in people’s stockings. And getting immature with them is always fun.

Remember: they can also make a simply fantastical array of fart sounds. “Alexa: open Big Fart” is the magic phrase.

EatYouWell,

Smart of them to make their spying devices a loss leader. Get even more rubes to buy one.

Peppycito,

Excigma,
LemmyKnowsBest, (edited )

seriously remember when these first came out circa 2014 and only wealthy people were buying them? Then Amazon saw what power they had in their hands recording all audio from within people’s homes, they brought the price down way low so even Neanderthals can have these now. Oh the spying possibilities!

MonkeMischief,

Like how they have a complete surveillance network of “Ring” devices on 98/100 homes in American suburbs?

You’d think it was mandatory. It’s so creepy. I don’t even wanna think how many cameras catch me from all angles just walking down the street.

Not a fan of how “meta” is swarming the VR market with loss-leader headsets either. Lord knows the kind of data they’re pulling from those things, and on top of it, they’re turning VR into another mobile-trash market in the process. But that’s another conversation.

SpaceNoodle,

I set up a button that makes her say “fart” when I press it

Then a few minutes later she says “fart” again

My wife claims she doesn’t think it’s nearly as funny as I do, but I caught her giggling once

Norgur, in "Fantasy Zone" is such an innocuous name, too...

I'd go with fucking Megaman. Shit unfair as fuck

MonkeMischief,

Specifically those stupid sequentially disappearing blocks in the Iceman levels.

Maybe I’m just weak or something but Megaman X is like the perfect Megaman haha.
