I just got a leaf

I didn’t get a single knock last night.

Spooky decorations, LED candles, WLED providing backup lighting, 12 XL Hershey bars with frozen Snickers as backup.

Not. One. Knock.

Fuck em – we’ll be eating smores all winter. 🤷

You can avoid that by not using MS controllers in Linux, or using old controllers with a cable. My Retropie has xbox 360 controller support compiled in and every controller works OOB.

It’s also a bit strange to see a production-intent build of a solar electric vehicle without any solar panels. Still, Aptera shared that technology will be implemented next alongside the SEV’s production-intent thermal management system and exterior surfaces.

This thing is pure vaporware. My new Leaf isn’t.

Peoples livelihoods are not my problem.

Imagine needing to use a Google search app… Cellphones are a mistake

You’re so quirky! Whats your gamer tag??? Do you play MLP?

So much of these news aggregate sites are morons reposting the same tired posts from absolute crayon eaters who bloviate about how critically incapable they are at basic life functions.

Should be happening now but I understand these things take time.

Sounds more like Apple makes a MAC like string that identifies an iPhone and Snap is creating a database of IDs against Apples wishes.

My zwave stuff has always worked 100% of the time. My ZigBee stuff occasionally freaks out and my WiFi stuff (wled) on 2.4g is a cluster truck of peripherals and frequently bugs out… But not zwave. Not once, not ever. Its pricy but so worth it.

I’m not here to educate you on POSIX superiority.

To gloat at morons still using windows.

Then you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Linux is just straight up easier to use than an unfucked windows.

I do miss the “making of” features that showed behind the scenes but as computers got better and movie execs got cheaper it wasn’t that interesting to just be like “well we did it with a green screen and then in post.” for fucking EVERYTHING…

It was much more fun watching pure artists at their craft making models and explosions and trick camera work for practical effects.

My theory is that practical effects takes a monumental amount of knowledge and skill and as those people got more and more expensive it was cheaper for the vultures to just hire college grad artists and grind them into the ground than pay the union salaries.

If I made the executive decision to design a system without any safety measures that could potentially push unchecked, malicious code to 90% of the computers that the business world runs on, I would be sued into dust.

Or made a MS CEO…

/me glares at steve balmer

Its on github so that’s about as solid as play-doh. I bet it doesn’t last a week.
