It it's any consolation, it barely works under ideal conditions anyway.

Up next: An AI-enabled Web Browser extension which

  • mutes the YouTube ads and overlays it with cute cat videos
  • clicks the "skip" button for you

In case you're wondering, some broadcast equipment, such as the Axia Radius, uses Ethernet sockets for the connection of balanced and unbalanced audio.

This simplifies cabling, but you need adapters at the end of each cable to go back to RCA, TRS, XLR etc.

That 100 Euro server also needs some coins inserted :)

Someone will create an extension to mute the ad and overlay it with suitably timed bite sized cat videos.

Our Aldi now has electronic price tags for each product in the centre aisles. I wonder if they're Bluetooth.

They want you doom scrolling.

It's one reason I like kbin. I'll read to page 5 and that's my limit for a session. Endless scrolling is annoying.

Kinda wary to switch in case it turns up in the Google Graveyard.

Hmm. How will I hack my Windows XP to activate it if I can't search for Windows Genuine Advantage?

Guess they're going for the CRT look? Next up, all pages default to 4:3?

Sounds like archive.org needs to move to the dark web?

HTML:

Blink. Blink. Blink. Blnk.

Hopefully one day we'll have smart clients which will optionally merge posts and underlying comments with common titles / URLs

I'm sure eventually there'll be a means to merge them at the client end.

Baah. KBIN just ate my reply.

Point form since I forgot to save to clipboard first.

Tried mint - booted to black screen
Tried ubuntu - got silly crashes like in the post trying to install stuff. It also wanted me to sign up for some sort of support package with 5 free devices to get updates or something. Also, trackpad scrolling was uncontrollable. Would scroll up half a screen or more as I lifted my fingers off.
Tried fedora - only 100% and 200% zoom option, and no right click.

Managed to fix the fedora issues with some command line found on Google and a gnome customising addon.

n00b here, just playing. Can't migrate fully as I need VBA and Playit Live etc.

Any worse and we'll think it's Colonel Sanders in the top left...

Now I'm a bit sad. A part of my childhood has died. bash.org.

I know there was one where someone was typing on IRC while driving his truck, and ends his quote with "fuck just rear ended a lady" but no way to find that quote directly now.

That was years ago, before smart phones I think.

Some google searches have led me there, but that's it.

A car can run on petrol, LPG, diesel, electricity or hydrogen. The result is still the same - a thing that moves when you push on the go pedal.

For almost everyone, it makes no practical difference which fuel makes the website work.

For a compressor to catch fire there must have been other issues. Simply leaving a fridge door open should not be sufficient to have a catastrophic failure - an overheat cut out should have tripped. Still, good that you had CYA under control.

If I was a fur suit maker, I'd be integrating positive ventilation or liquid cooling.

Not Sandisk. Had several just die with no recovery possible.
Kingston had a few failures but probably OK as a cheap one.
Only had one Samsung crash, so mostly sell those despite the premium these days.

Obligatory G'day from the kbin PWA :)

We're still waiting for our native app.

Nice to see office 97 or 2000 is still alive.

Redneck Rampage was silly and fun.

Difficult with Facebook as the interface keeps getting changed - the instructions go out of date so damn fast.

Snickers

Most of those I haven't heard of, but that's because I'm an Aussie...

I don't care much about the emoji option, but the ability to add an image to a reply without having to do it manually through imgur etc is something I've wanted for years!

Most likely it won't work as very few websites will work with XP's level of SSL security these days.

Kbin uses boosts as upvotes for their karma calculation, which is why you see the QI style scoring. Strange system.

Aircon plus solar panels for the win? Other than the initial manufacturing cost, it's a fairly good solution.

For those with a limited budget in a dry heat area, a large portable Swamp box and a single panel may be enough. Needs access to water though...

Qantas qat and qaid being a few rare exceptions. (Qantas is technically an a abbreviation though.)

I see what you did there...

I am assuming someone will write a converter / exporter and that we'll have at least a week's warning before it gets its place in the Google Graveyard.

If Google Takeout outlives it, we might already have one.

Found today that our goats like to eat the peel.

Would that technically be a delayed action grenade?

And now to find the four apostrophes that don't belong...
