If you don’t like videos, don’t watch videos.

How about letting those of us who enjoy video content, to continue to enjoy video content.

This shouldn’t be a “I don’t like it, so no one else should get it” situation. That’s some selfish bullshit.

If they don’t included tracking, recording, spying, and advertising, they’re premium at this point.

Here’s a comprehensive and up to date list of failed deliveries, so far.

Rosin

Which is also a type of cannabis concentrate, lol

The movie is “Don’t Look Up” for those who aren’t aware. It’s excellent. Watch it.

Just don’t get near the brontorock.

It was active for about 3 months, until she broke the screen. I replaced her device and put the phone on the shelf. I replaced the screen and digitizer a year later when I needed a spare handset and they told me “it had never been on network” and was ineligible for being unlocked. Which is bullshit because the phone was bought and paid for at the time I purchased it in a box at the store with a prepaid card. As far as I’m concerned, straight talk still owes me 200$. Even if the phone was NEVER activated, I still own it outright, making it mine to do with what I please.

Not always true, I bought a smart talk phone for my kid and the phone was paid in full at the time of purchase. It’s still carrier locked 5 years later because they say “it wasn’t in service for x amount of time and therefore isn’t eligible”. I even reported this to the FCC, opened a case, and they did fuckall and closed the report.

Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It’s fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL VODKA STILLS

This brings them to about mid 90’s tech… They’ll be able to make microwave ovens, tamagotchis, and a counterfeit N64 that runs a game called “Mushroom Plumber 3D”

This was when BTC was like 5 cents and no one had learned this lesson yet.

Still looking for that backup of that disk with my bitcoin wallet from the early days… sadly probably gone forever.

Oh, things are way better now than they were back then. I’d still confirm via documentation that the interfaces are compatible :)

I was a poor college student and had access to engineering samples from a local manufacturer. Discarded parts gave me twin 15" LCDs for free in the mid 00’s. Also, to see if I could. It was a fun challenge. These are different revs of a controller that were outfitted in several slot machine prototypes. They gave me many years of service. I probably still have inkjet prints of the pinout and signal diagrams, somewhere.

I have rematched controllers to displays in the past. It’s neither simple nor easy. You’ll need to dig through spec sheets to ensure you’re sending the correct signals over the correct pinouts, at the correct frequencies and voltages. Be prepared to read some IO documentation for the sending and receiving chipsts, then verify pinouts with certainty. They are not always standard.

Here are 2 identical LCDs, with 2 very similar, nearly identical looking controllers. Note that one needed to be re-wired. It is not fun butt-connecting 2 dozen 28ga wires.

You think they’re going to send notices to ex-customers? I was an ATT customer for 2 decades and switched a few years ago. I’m wondering if I’m compromised, but won’t get notice because I’m not technically an active customer.

Telegram added stories not too long ago and I feel the same way about that. It’s UI pollution we don’t want, and that we didn’t ask for, and that serves no real purpose.

Yeah no kidding, paying for unraid?

TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) keeps getting better, for free. It does most of the same tricks that the big boy appliances do, but with your commodity hardware, at no cost.

And it does all this exceedingly well. AND if you want… you can buy support. At your discretion.

My understanding is that Google “rates” its leaders by the number and types of projects they develop. Ergo there are a lot of people working on disparate items that often overlap, because it’s “their” project. Once the project completes, they get their credit, stop caring, and move on to the next. It is said this is why google creates then kills so much. It’s by design, essentially. The products they keep are the ones that make the most ad revenue.
