Ignoring the whole welfare lyric for a moment, I think this experience ended up being a hard lesson for this young songwriter.

To borrow a line from Bluey - “…when you put something beautiful out into the world, it’s no longer yours, really.”

Was CS:GO available natively on Mac? If so, this is unfortunate news for the small subset of Mac users who played, since CS:GO is now no more.

The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to

I made a new account and was immediately bombarded with posts from subs on the account I deleted months ago, suggesting them because Reddit knew I visited them in the past.

No, that’s not creepy at all. /s

I’ve also been using Gmail since it launched. I support the privacy movement and agree with concerns around their usage of users’ data, but I’m just too far dug into the Google ecosystem and too dependent on that particular email address for all my sign-in stuff where I don’t want to spend the time migrating somewhere else.

I love my reMarkable 2, but I bought it before they locked all the best features behind their subscription. I’m grandfathered into a lifetime subscription, but if you buy one now you also have to cough up whatever subscription cost the Connect plan provides for persistent cloud storage and a few other useful features. For that sole reason I can’t recommend it.

If I was shopping for a device today, I’d be looking at one of the Supernotes.

Please stop stalking the ex and move on.

Taking a cue from Nissan, I see.

They’ll let you finance an Altima for 96 months, but the transmission will blow itself up at 85,000 miles and at that point you’re out of warranty AND still stuck making payments.

And those are just the unsolicited ones she received on Tinder.

Wait, are we all talking about docking now?

There is considerable concern this will happen in the US post-Roe.

It absolutely does hold up. A bit dated in some ways but the show overall is still quality entertainment.

Aye, welcome! I’m still figuring things out myself. Mostly hoping the iOS client Mlem can find its footing because the whole Lemmy experience feels incomplete at the moment, but this all still feels like I’m on the ground floor of something potentially great.

Screws tightened down enough on CPU cooler?

Or tightened too much? And/or unevenly?

Run for it, Marty!

Disable TPM in your BIOS. Windows 11 will suddenly be “unsupported” and won’t pester you to upgrade.

Oof. Seeing Untitled Goose Game on this list makes me sad. My 8yo and I both (still) adore that game, and I’d hate for our future enjoyment of the game to contribute to any gouging of the devs.

This little maneuver is going to cost us 50 years.

No harm in trying it first. Beyond basic connectivity, here are some things you’ll need to check for.

You’ll want to make sure you can turn off overscan in your TV settings or the edges of what the computer will display will be cut off in the image. This can make navigating things like the Windows desktop a little difficult.

Then you’ll want to make sure responsiveness is acceptable. Perform any action (click something, type something in Notepad, etc.) and make sure the TV displays it instantly. If not, you will need to enable Game Mode on your TV if it is available. Sometimes a Sports mode will get you there too. If such a mode isn’t on your TV and there are no other settings that reduce the response delay, you’ll need a dedicated monitor.

If you’re OK on both of these things, the only thing left would be stuff like resolution and color matching. For the best image, make sure the computer is set to use the TV’s native resolution. This may not necessarily be the highest resolution available, FYI. As an example, I have TVs that are 720 native but will accept and display 1080, albeit things don’t look great at that scale. Your mileage may vary. For color matching, don’t worry too much about accuracy if you’re not doing things that require a perfectly calibrated display. Set the picture mode on the TV to whatever vivid/movie/sports/etc color mode works for you, but keep in mind some of these can affect the delay depending on the TV (see above).
