My kids, who began using Linux at home and then Chrome OS since the ages of 5 ,would suggest that it's only older users who are completely stuck in their ways and can't adapt to different operating systems.

I think my favorite overclock was back in the early Conroe days when Intel first released the core m processor. I bought an Asus white book and after assembling everything and doing on a power-on test I immediately powered it off and did a pin modification to force the socket from 100 megahertz front side bus to 133 megahertz front side bus.

It was such a simple modification that netted me significant performance improvements and voided my warranty in the first 5 minutes.

I enjoyed the read, and it leaves some interesting questions for further research as well as asks some interesting questions about the future. Ideally ActivityPub will grow to a point where big tech cant own it but we will see. For now I will enjoy my slice of the free good old web, with the rest of my fellow neckbeards and greybeards.

If you admin your own instance then you can control any IP Fingerprinting related to your use.

consumer crap is just that crap.

I like small PC's as PFsense/Opnsense routers and then a POE switch and access points. It always works better than any mesh or consumer stuff.

I still think he should use ST6 and black bag all the conservative justices to Gitmo and declare them enemy combatants. Call their bluff that no Democrat press will abuse their shitty imperial immunity "logic"

“They are incapable of governing,” Jeffries added.

That's the point they have already succeeded in their only goal prove that government does not work.

We have always had tornados but I'm the last 10 years it seems like we're getting more and they do more damage.

The most noticeable are the number of heavy rain events and flooding. Again 10 years ago while we had floods it was not as common to have flooding in all sorts of local areas. Now we see roads closed and small areas of flood damage where we used to only see large 100 year floods.

The heat sucks and has always sucked it just sucks more now.

I will never be done tweaking and adjusting things, but for now, this is how I want it.

I do wish I had more control over things like Discord and Steam. Some of the colors and things just dont fit well with the rest of the style but o well, cant make everything perfect.

For a while now I have been a Brother evangelist because they just worked, they did not lock you into first party only printing supplies, and they were overall a good value.

THEN: my printer firmware auto updated and suddenly my toner cartridges were no longer recognized. Its not that they ran out and I put in new ones, simply the ones that had previously worked (3rd party already) just stopped and it reported an error.

I managed to find a guide on downgrading the firmware, and now I am back up and running and auto update is turned off. I am also saving all the little chips from the Brother branded cartridges.

So Dear Brother Printers, Please choke on a bag of dicks. I spent $500ish on a laser color printer so I would not have to deal with the shitification that has happened to inkjet. Seeing hostile and profiteering consumer behavior from other printer companies you decided to copy them for short term gains.

Well I will no longer recommend your products, and I will go out of my way to fix and downgrade your older printers with the sole purposes of putting them back into use and costing you new sales.

1 down, 1 in the cue, feel free to stop being anti consumer and breaking hardware we already paid for.

Thanks ADHD I really needed to go down the rabbit hole for a single actor and pull all the threads. I'm sure it won't have consequences.
