Oh, don’t get me wrong. I give them credit for being able to make the pixel art look much better than was intended, but I think my brain fills in the detail without wanting a filter to do it. Or I have yet to see a filter that is as good as a CRT and I’m not about to go out and buy one to get that experience.

Mine came via FedEx. Were yours USPS?

I grew up on 30fps, and my monitor only does 60Hz, I’m perfectly fine in that range given that I don’t play finger twitch frame perfect FPS games.

I grew up with the CRT scan lines and honestly I prefer the hard pixels. Don’t know I think it just triggers the nostalgia better than the muddied lines that look like a bad attempt at upscaling.

Something that caught my attention. I ordered two random, non-Christmas items on Monday. I fully expected not to see them until later this week or next week. Much to my surprise, they’re out for delivery today.

The sheer fact I could order something 3 days before Christmas and have it arrive on Christmas Eve tells me that shipping rates are much lower this year than they have been in years past, which means people aren’t ordering the same amount they used to.

Yeah, I’m really curious about the naming. Most places use nearby airport codes, of which I can’t find any matching codes nearby. Also they usually start numbering from 1 and I can’t find any facilities numbered 1-5. Does anyone have more information on the naming as this looks really weird.

Now I’m imagining him beating her repeatedly with a book.

If they want to be part of the US they’re welcome to try to emigrate to the US. But given that’s only about 15% of the population, I believe the correct sentiment is: get the fuck out of here with that.

Generally no. Most of those variables are mounted RO now. Additionally you can factory reset the board and recover. There were some systems a while ago when UEFI first came out that didn’t correctly manage that, but that hasn’t been a problem for years now.

In the early 90s, Linux actually let you set hsync on your monitors, not just vsync. With a CRT you could literally fry it with an invalid number. Generally I wasn’t as cautious because I knew I could never really brick a computer, except for that setting.

I never used CS (Cable Select) after accidentally nuking a drive because I had two of the exact same model and it flipped the order on reboot… couldn’t figure out why it didn’t boot and then noticed I cloned the blank drive to the good drive…

Dude is posting more times in a day than Trump on one of his rants…. He really needs some help and from what I’m reading he didn’t like Reddit, so went to Lemmy, we’re telling him the same thing which most likely means he’s gonna bail to another platform and shop around for someone who validates his echo chamber.

Yes

Sometimes I question if we’re living in a matrix controlled by AI and that this was caused by a hallucination because of the naming coincidence. Like they meant to enact another scenario instead but screwed it up.

A condom could have prevented this post.

Closest I could say is “Greenland is to Denmark as Puerto Rico is to the US”

Surprised they weren’t still pushing the nazi angle, saying it’s against the Jews and trying to leverage AIPIC. That’d be more realistic

All i can say is if I won that there would quickly be a post tax exodus of that money and myself out of the country.

But my fuck tabs!

And just how exactly do you know that it’s B calling you? Do you know every prefix and number range that company can be calling from? Could it be a recruiters personal cell, or maybe a 3rd party VoIP system.

So now you don’t know what number it’s from. Maybe it’s a scam then, or maybe you’re working on other things, like being in the middle of class (since it said intern). Do you step out to take every call that may come in and waste your time since there’s no message being left?
