"In 2005, Transport Canada, a federal agency, decided to do something about it. Starting in 2007, it declared, all passenger vehicles sold in Canada would require an engine immobilizer, a basic anti-theft device that uses an electronic signature in the key to unlock the engine. If the key isn’t present, the car can’t be started. This prevents hot wiring and other old-school, brute force methods of stealing cars."
Saved you a few min.
Just a friendly reminder to lock your credit.
Just really think in terms of bangability. You wanna bang someone with a hairy forehead? Neither did our ancestors.
My electric toothbrush does 30 seconds per quadrant, 2 minutes total. I'm 38 have zero cavities and my teeth are fine. I only brush once a day.
Gotta remember to hydrate!
Call the hospital, get the billing department ask if you can talk to someone about reducing the bill.
I had a similar situation once, said my chest hurt and everyone freaked out and I ended up with a 5k ER bill. With no actual answer to why my chest hurt, and was still hurting.
I talked to the hospital they set up an appointment with a woman, I showed bank statements, income, insurance information. Ultimately, because I had very little income or money at the time. They just forgave the entire amount. No more bill.
Definitely worth a shot.
We exclusively repaired for schools, kids puke for like.. no reason.
Yeah we had to institute a throw it straight into the trash policy because of pukey Chromebooks.
I used to pull the product key stickers off parts we bought at my old job. Laptop bottom cover, with free windows 7 key. Every computer in my house is running Windows 11 pro, activated with a Windows 7 key, that was otherwise just going to get thrown away.
Yeah locking it just means nobody can open new lines of credit on the social security number. Then you can use multi factor authentication on the different bureau sites. You'll need to lock it on all three... Which sucks.
It's annoying, it's stupid that we have to do this. But you gotta look out for yourself.
Yeah but it works like 99% of the time, and if it makes text illegible, you can just toggle it off. 100x better than no dark reader at all.
I had a block of cheese one time, they went crazy about it. X-rayed it a bunch. They really didn't like that cheese.
You're fine, just follow the iFixit guide. It's super easy. After removing the screws I pulled it apart with my fingernails, no problem. Remove screw, replace drive, put screw back in. This is like, day one stuff at a computer repair job. Again you're fine. If you can do a Lego set, you can replace the m.2 on a steam deck. Don't psych yourself out, my mother could do it.
Urogesic blue, same kind of thing, but it turns blue.
Some other quick picks from it:
-Improved sleep resume speed.
-Improved Bluetooth connection stability.
-The performance overlay can be customized via configuration files.
-An upgraded Arch Linux base for the operating system.
-An upgrade to the KDE Plasma desktop mode.
-Fixed an issue where certain workloads would exhibit severe CPU performance issues unless SMT was manually disabled.
-External storage devices are now auto-mounted when connected to Steam Deck.
That last one is pretty great, I can now much more easily connect my external m.2 enclosures for game storage.
I would guess there are dumb alien teenagers as well.
I don't really care for cats, but if you could talk to them you could make a fuck load of money. So I'll stay up all night making perfect pizzas, then go inform all the cat ladies why their cats hate them during the day.
Interesting fact, there are saltwater crocodiles in southern Florida, and the keys. It's, I believe, the only place in the world that has crocodiles, alligators, and Amazon caiman.
So does Brown, you could be the cat whisperer. There's plenty of money to be made there. You could even potentially solve crimes, asking cat witnesses what they saw.
The name mastodon literally means “breast tooth,” referring to the the “nipple”-shaped bumps along the top edges of these animals’ teeth.
Minnesota is fine, buddy. Currently live in the twin cities, it's all good. Winter is a great excuse to buy a bunch of cold weather gear, really just have fun with it. I built a huge snow fort last winter, race track for the dogs with tunnels. I'm starting to like winter more than summer in my late 30s, I'm not so sweaty, don't have to mow the lawn.
Apparently there are some people here who challenge themselves to never go outside all winter. Park indoors, use the skyway downtown.
It was a 5lb block of cheddar from UW Provisions, in Madison Wisconsin. Which, in their defense, is a very large block of cheese.
I purchased the drive, flashed steam OS to it, put it in the deck and turned it on. Really really simple. Didn't encounter a single hiccup.
So you have 64gb total?
How the fuck could they not even give it a new name?! One of my favorites as well.
What screen did you upgrade to?
Bluetooth is fine, haven't experienced any lag like the other guy said. But remember standard Bluetooth is only two channel, so don't try to use the microphone on the headphones or your audio will not be stereo.
You can use the headphones for sound then I'm pretty sure there's a built-in microphone on the deck. For multiplayer game chat.
I DO have giant mutant hands, and I still have to reposition to reach the top of the screen with any accuracy.
I just bought a USB m.2 adapter and flashed steam OS to the drive before I ever even put it in the deck. First boot was just like booting the original drive.
Talk to cats and make great pizzas.
It's the easiest thing I've ever done in my life.
Sorry I was so late to the game. I used to work computer repair, always had a Linux stick to boot into, and changed it up every couple of weeks.
Always something fresh, it was fun seeing all the different distros. You can also make a Linux USB stick with persistent storage and install apps and save settings. In my experience those tend to shit the bed after a few weeks.
Another option that's one step above a USB stick, is an m.2 enclosure. I had those with dual boot, windows and Ubuntu. I could plug that into anyone's computer, boot the external drive and rule out hardware problems with ease.
The m.2 enclosures are almost indistinguishable from an internal drive, made it so I could boot into my own setup on any machine.
At my last job, they had some guy come in with a machine that could make like 40 pancakes at a time. Was there for a few hours, cranking out pancakes, sausages, eggs. He flipped the pancakes through the air at you and you had to catch them on your plate. It was mildly anxiety inducing, but I guess I'd call that a pancake party.
Good call, have fun buddy.
I meant freeze, which you should do.
I've never heard of such a thing, on any computer. Though HP would be that shitty. Sounds like something fishy with your UEFI, you ever update your bios?
I used to do this like 30 times a day sometimes (HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus), never had an issue with boot menus. The ONLY problem I've ever encountered was an external boot triggering bit locker, and locking me out.
What you've described is a hell I've never experienced, but def does not sound like standard operating procedure.
Love that song, exactly what I thought of.
I upgraded mine before I ever even turned it on. Now I just wish I'd gone with the 1tb instead of 512gb. I did get a hub, that allows me to connect external drive enclosures. A recent update just enabled auto-mounting external drives, which is nice.
I played Alto in school, never really got into it. Then switched up to baritone, loved it.
Thanks for your insight, fartsparkles.
