My phone was on 5% battery so I turned it off. While sitting on the shitter, I examined its pale blue body (Moto g84) and observed the dents on the edges from the times it had fallen to a hard surface.

I reminisced back 30 years when it would have been a Phillips, Hanimex, Aiwa or Sony walkman that had been my similar constant companion, whose design was etched in my memory after months or years of use.

They’re kind of right. We don’t see the phone for what it is, but rather for what it displays; although the intimate knowledge of the contols of the phone remain.

A multimeter on DC.

My account too new to post images, so…

But yeah, don’t finger kids.

Oddball here. I like mod files and midi files :)

Booka Shade is also good.

Oh, and also Theatre Organ stuff if you have a subwoofer.

You’ll get arrested if it’s in your bash history.

Gundam Style!

Finding specific words in an MP3 log file for our radio station. Free app called Vibe transcribes locally.

No, but now I’m half the Wolfenstein chicken dinner sound in my head…

Must have been a massive monitor.

Aah well, time for a brake.

Principal.

(yeah I know it’s rude to correct spelling, but if you want to impress him, spelling his title correctly may help.)

I don’t think GPU are used for bitcoin any more? You need ASICs to be able to hope for any return on investment.

#2 for me. The PWAs for Firefox extension broke one too many times so I gave up.

There’s an episode of Graham Norton that she’s on. She talks about how they approached those two eccentric dancers to be part of the clip.

Does a squirrel listen and determine good pope, bad pope?

It’s just an option on many WordPress templates - asks for your social URLs but I don’t know if any tracking happens natively as a result.

Two questions.

Griffindor?

… And what does it select for a pigeon?

These might be worth trying, I don’t know.

If it’s not overly humid, evaporative air conditioners are a cheap to run way to keep cool. The personal units (Convair Classic etc) are typically about 50 to 80 watts, so a single solar panel, battery and inverter should guarantee safe, grid free cooling for one or two people.

It’s \ instead of /

Most stuff you can find answers on YouTube.

Windows key + R to run a command easily. (cmd for example is a bit like terminal.)

Eventvwr.msc is like your syslog I think. Most problems will show up there, even if they’re not problems at all. (common place to send scam targets as it looks scary.)

Services.msc to see what’s running in the background. (like systemctl I think, not sure.)

Task manager - Startup tab to turn off rubbish.

Msconfig as an easy way to see services, hiding Microsoft services, or to select safe mode etc.

Rstrui to bring up system restore - works sometimes if a machine is kaput.

Regedit in rare cases - a chonky place where most app and system settings live.

File sharing - need to share the files through the usual file sharing option, but also need to change folder permissions. If only one is changed, it won’t let you. Also ‘control panel’ network and sharing centre, advanced sharing settings, you can turn off password protected sharing for ease, but Microsoft periodically turns it back on.
