I also paid for WinRAR, as a gag present for a friend who’s an Apple fanboy who never used Windows.

you can grab the video file, remove the audio and use it as a custom boot video

they still own the twitter trademark, that might be their biggest asset

I’ve been using ULauncher for a while and I’m quite happy with it, it has plugin support too.

Yes, Clonezilla runs off a live USB. If it is large enough it can also store the partition you want to clone, making the whole process a lot simpler.

it does, or at least older versions of Android did

the doorbell is inside my house, the spring and pulleys too, he only bit exposed to the outside is a lever you pull to make the contraption move, it is kinda like the launcher on a pinball machine

I have a mechanical doorbell at my house that I adore. I’m never getting rid of it.

I tried then first N characters of my password until I found out the threshold was at 8, then I tried with the first 8 chartacters of my password and then random junk and it worked.

I also had two friends in the same bank to validate

a previous bank used to have a max password length of 8 characters, then proudly announced that they will increase it to 32

Then I made a typo at the end of my password and it let me in anyway, and I realised they were just trimming the first 8 characters to give the illusion of security

no no no, that was just Apple being brave /s

my previous flatmate bought one of these digital menus used and it had a single DP input, he used a Chromecast and a box that extracted HDMI audio via TOSLINK and then a HDMI to DP converter for the panel. It worked great and it was a very cheap solution for the time.

I managed to pass this as a kid and a friend invited me to his house so I could pass it for him. That was my peak and my life has gone downhill ever since.

That’s exactly the point I don’t get. Every single mouse I owned, I’ve replaced it because something physically broke. My previous mouse (Logi btw) was replaced because the scroll wheel and middle click stopped working, no software or firmware update would amend that!

everyday I’m thankful that Musk is not an US born citizen and cannot run for office. It’s the only thing stopping him

and to think there was plenty of no windows, no buy mentally when the Deck got announced. I cannot understand why would anyone go down the Windows route on a handheld, specially now that Linux has been so tried and tested

I actively avoid Amazon, however there’s a brand I really like that only sells through Amazon in my country, so I’ve used it a couple of times when I have no other choice.

I also have an audible account from before it was acquired by Amazon, idk if that counts, but I stopped paying for it over a decade ago

One of my favourite stories is the accidental discovery of synthetic purple dye. IIRC there was a chemist researching something completely unrelated and when he disposed some assorted chemicals down a sink he noticed they turned purple.

Just mispel a word, replace a vowel with a numb3r and the wordlist is useless
