Some equally sized gift card to any shop I use.

Gen Z.
Don't care about generations too much. It just creates (often false) stereotypes, like any groups of people.

This is probably normal. Kick it like a soccer ball, slam it into ground, throw out through train window while moving,...

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 day ago

Yes, but at much higher cost.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 35 points 1 day ago

OK, but seriously, X, Y and Z are these:

  1. Reboot

  2. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

  3. sfc /scannow

The only answers you'll get.

Because for me Windows was not easier to use.

I only got my first proper computer in 2020, and comparing Windows 10 with Linux Mint 20, I found the latter much simpler to use not having used either one prior. Just having to bounce between Control Panel and new Settings, plus a lot of tutorials shown magic with registries...
Also, I had a lot of problems with uninstallers failing or not removing programs completely, and getting permissions to remove files directly was also pain in the ass, even as "Administrator". That often resulted in me booting up live Linux DVD to remove crap programs from Windows.

I gave it a try, but I didn't like it. Perhaps I'd like MacOS though. It seems similar enough. But Windows just feels like 2 decades of hotfixes glued together.

Sounds like you already got started.
Do you have more precise questions? Doesn't matter if it's something "simple".

Swallow again, just to make sure. And again. And again. ...

That's what a kid pretending to be an adult would say.

When I was your age, no kids did that, 'cause we had no damn internets back then. We had to actually walk outside to talk with others.

Image on left is from 4 days ago, but the pimple was slowly forming over around 2 weeks.

The goop was sticky, not oily. Earphones are Panasonic RP-TCM130.

I was not able to find an explanation.
Something to increase cable lifespan, lubrication, rubber disintegrating, sweat and earwax that somehow got into the cable, dielectric grease, SCP-1407, no clear answer.

At first I thought the wires just somehow twisted. Nope.

I used to think that age equated to percentage of life lived, thus I thought that most people live to close around 100.
But it also made me think that people only get old when they're like 80.

I mean like actually "old". The "old" adults were referring to. At that age I considered those 14/15 year old 9th graders old, just a bit different "old".

For some reason this happens to me, but only with Orbit. At least the watermelon ones (I prefer chewing gums that leave minimum taste), I don't know about others. It just turns into a disgusting paste.

Laying on his back, if the perspective seems confusing.

OK, I hope my question doesn't get misunderstood, I can see how that could happen.
Just a product of overthinking.

Idea is that we can live fairly easily even with some diseases/disorders which could be-life threatening. Many of these are hereditary.
Since modern medicine increases our survival capabilities, the "weaker" individuals can also survive and have offsprings that could potentially inherit these weaknesses, and as this continues it could perhaps leave nearly all people suffering from such conditions further into future.

Does that sound like a realistic scenario? (Assuming we don't destroy ourselves along with the environment first...)

This battery lasts the life of the router under the operating environmental conditions specified for the router, and is not field-replaceable.

But who determines its lifespan?

Knowing there is a battery set to fail and I can't simply replace it makes me physically uncomfortable. Enough so that I'd rather it not have RTC.

Thanks Cisco.

It looks that we're experience a network outage to our second cabinet
this evening.  A ticket has been opened to address the issue.

This affects ryo.sdf.org, lemmy.sdf.org and ma.sdf.org

Thank you for your patience.

Confirmed that this is only a network outage to the second cabinet and is
currently being worked on by our network service provider.  Hopefully it
will be resolved soon.  Thank you for your patience.

our network provider has reassigned our uplink port for the second cabinet
and the hosts are once against accessible.

Both received and decoded in SatDump on Android.
The 321 composite PNG is 65MB, so I compressed it... and then Imgur compressed it even further so there's some extra compression artifacts, but anyway.

And a note: Look4Sat app seems to have wrong TLE for M No. 2-4. Thankfully there was a similar pass to one shown, just 15 minutes later and more to the west.
TLE on N2YO.com is right.

Edit: Ran the decoder again with baseband. It removed the lines from middle.

I know in past I've successfully updated my display name, and it shows on other instances, so perhaps this problem is new to 0.19.x, but I am not at all sure about that.
