I would highly, highly recommend a fork with full UBO, like: https://helium.computer/

Only because the desktop market will shrink.

I think most people’s computing will go to phones, tablets, or phone/tablet-like devices (like Chromebooks or the Macbook Neo) that don’t really count as desktops. I think the PC hardware market will shrink.

What’s left will be PC enthusiasts and gamers clinging to their existing hardware, and TBH I can see 15% of those moving to some linux flavor as Microsoft basically sunsets desktop Windows.

Business workstations will be stuck with Windows forever, though.

Actually, I think it’s just a linux problem. Now it’s happening on other sites in this particular browser.

Heh…

A man of taste.

I would have posted earlier, but enabling the ads made my screen flicker and black out, and I had to restart.

I am on a 128GB RAM desktop.

The other issue is devaluation. Ioniq5’s are worth hallf after 3 years.

Heh, yeah. They bought it used, and got a shockingly good deal on it.

TBH buying a new car feels pretty pointless to me, unless one is so critically short on “shopping” time that its worth the massive financial hit.

Also, as a bonus, put a cheap 4-inch AC filter on that box fan.

Now you have:

• Zero dust in your PC

• Noise dampening

• A high CFM air purifier, right in your room.

Or better yet: ducts.

I have zero case fans in my PC.

~70 miles. That’s how far they are from me.

And their daily commute is 25 miles in heavy traffic.

There’s never been absolute freedom of speech, anywhere on the internet.

There is something you could say that will get you shunned from any community.

That’s my response to “but free speech!” That phrase means you’re trying to say something that will generally inflame Lemmy instances, so specify what you wish to discuss if you want to be pointed somewhere better.

The original is all a parody, though. That’s the point.

Or imprisonment.

Point is, that’s not what the quote directly said. And that’s what distinguishes journalism, and tabloids like DailyBeast (or talking heads/“analysis” like Fox News). Hence, every actual news outlet on this topic went with a factual headline, and quoted Trump directly instead of making a jump.

This distinction is very important to me. Ragebait like DailyBeast is why Trump is in power and the world sucks now, because it works.

The source is a Truth Social post:

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116235861005528220

Quoting Trump’s post, the nugget of truth is from:

The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!

Which they turned into “Demands Death Penalty” because DailyBeast is a tabloid.

TBH I’m sick of DailyBeast and Rawstory showing up in my Lemmy feed. I’d argue they violate this community’s “credible sources” rule.

Mmmm, yes, but for composite it’s not trivial like it’d be for S-Video. To quote some random Redditor:

https://old.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/comments/usr9su/is_there_a_known_working_way_to_convert_vga_to/

You need a device called frame buffer. VGA signal are sampled (ADC) and store in a memory. This memory is read by another circuity, at NTSC/PAL frame rate, and RGB converted to NTSC/PAL. For a standard VGA (640x640@60Hz) a line converter (only a FIFO memory) can be used to convert to NTSC. More details here.

Does it take VGA? And do you have a spare PCIe slot in a desktop?

You can slap in an old GPU to power it directly, with no latency or conversion issues. I know my old Nvidia 980 TI supports VGA directly, albeit with a passive dongle. As a bonus, this would save VRAM for your other displays, and (if you wish) offload whatever you do on your CRTs from the main GPU.

Now, if you want a GPU with composite output, you have to go waaay back to the GTX 200 series or the Radeon 4000 series. Getting working drivers for these on linux might be an… adventure.

Now, I know what the woke deep state is going to say, and I want to save you the trouble of listening to them.

“The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty?” Never ratified it. Even if we did, who cares. Next.

“The environmental impact?” Mr. Secretary, Iranian oil is leaking everywhere. Tankers are on fire near Fujairah. This approach is constructive destruction.

“Radiation?” Radiation is the most overblown left-wing conspiracy since climate change. The Plowshare’s 1962 underground Sedan test fallout reached South Dakota in 1962 and South Dakota is fine. Went for Trump by thirty points. Plus, the residual glow keeps Iran from trying anything funny near the new channel.

The views expressed above do not necessarily represent those of anyone with brain cells.

This is hilarious. Heh.

I don’t buy Gingrich’s earnesty. He must be trolling too, like the article explicitly was. Most Republicans are doing it on Twitter now, and that would fit Gingrich’s history, too.

…And it kinda worked. It looks like Lemmy swallowed the hook here, and I’m sure Twitter did too.

I dunno… my sibling can make it a long way on a single charge, all the way to me and back. They haven’t had to use a fast charger yet. But if they do, my understanding is that Hyundai optimized the battery for charging speed instead of capacity.

uBlock Origin is the gold standard, but you need something that supports the full version. Plain Chrome (and most forks) are not good enough.

Firefox, Helium, and/or Orion would be my top picks.

On top of three letter agencies, basically every cybersecurity expert that publishes a “basic tweaks” article recommends uBlock Origin.
