I already carried a flashlight in my pocket and now I have one on my watch. Phones are obsolete.

clif@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Video games spending by young Americans is dropping sharply, report suggestsEnglish9·14 days agoJust (re) started Dead Space after not playing it for 10-15 years. Still good, still enjoy, why buy when I can just replay games I’ve forgotten the story to?
Same for Control a few months ago… And I’m sure others.
clif@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your advices to cool homes without AC ?5·19 days agoThis may explain why I’m wearing a hoodie in the office in late June while most everybody else is comfortable or still hot.
But, I also do lots of outdoors stuff and acclimate to heat up to a point.
clif@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•98 degrees upstairs, ac stopped working at 8am.English3·18 days agoThis was me on Sunday… And then also on Monday after replacing the cap and then realizing that the fan motor was janky (which might be what caused the cap to fail)
Same place for me I’m betting, but three weeks on a longer “choose your own adventure” route. We chose to hike most of every day and cover as much ground as possible instead of stopping at the more “comfortable” areas that had facilities.
I forget the exact distance but pretty sure it was over 225 miles.

This is awesome. Thank you
Yeah… I should expand. The penguins are just my favorite part of those movies and it matches the Linux motif that I started with yet falls apart, you know, when I name a windows laptop
rico-w
: P
Mine are named after the penguins from the Madagascar movie : Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico.
Unfortunately there’s only four so I often supplement with a suffix. For example, I’ve got an old windows laptop kicking around that is “rico-w”
… I should really commit to a naming scheme with a wider array of options.
Second this. Think I heard about it on lemmy, been using it ever since. Built in editing, copy to clipboard, save to file, all the stuff I need.

… So apparently it pays to vomit lies that align with whatever he says. Seems the people love it.
clif@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Musk says he 'deleted' IRS easy filing team that let Americans file taxes for free online3·5 months agoBut I should procrastinate paying my taxes until the last minute, yes? I have 1099 income that doesn’t have taxes pre deducted from it, there’s I always have to pay in (which is fine, I budget for it)

clif@lemmy.worldto Buy it for Life@slrpnk.net•Recommendations for portable power stations? (for camping, power outages, etc.)English2·8 months agoI like my Bluetti stuff but in some aspects Ecoflow has more flexibility (dual fuel), though at a higher price point.
A few high points :
Historically (from Internet and friends, that is to say - anecdotally), Ecoflow has had better customer service than Bluetti but I’ve not had any problems with Bluetti. I’ve not had any problems with the products but they quickly refunded me the difference on their “30 day price” guarantee when I asked.
I decided against Jackery when I started this journey because they were higher priced and not using LiFePO4 yet. Not sure on prices but it seems they’ve updated the battery chemistry.
My use case is home power outage so 2kWh was my min capacity (AC200P) and I eventually got an AC300 too. I have an EB3A just because I caught it for $70.
The EB3A is annoying as desktop computer UPS, don’t try it… Unless you’re okay with it running fans when it charges pretty often whenever it drops to 99%. There were also UPS mode switching problems on older versions. Never experienced that but I stopped using it after two days because of the constant charge cycling.
EDIT: prices between brands are as I remember them when I was doing comparisons and I have not checked prices in 1 to 3 years. So, likely different now.
clif@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Is Pissed at True Reports His Victory Wasn’t Exactly a Landslide4·8 months agoI like you. Thank you.
clif@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Clip of Trump calling Harris allies 'scum' and 'garbage' resurfaces25·9 months agoWell I’m not going to vote for Biden after that “garbage” comment he made. Such violent rhetoric.
Internal RAID1 as first line of defense. Rsync to external drives where at least one is always offsite as second. Rclone to cloud storage for my most important data as the third.
Backups 2 and 3 are manual but I have reminders set and do it about once a month. I don’t accrue much new data that I can’t easily replace so that’s fine for me.
If you like this and haven’t seen “Good Night, Oppy” you should go do that right now.

A web interface? Is the keyboard running a webserver or is it remotely managed by the manufacturers website?
I’m confused about configuring keyboards via web app.
