Yeah…I severely miss my Samsung note 4

I need to ask for this. Every hotel I go to they have the brightness cranked - and my wife loves watching TV to sleep, which keeps me awake because I can’t tweak any settings. Makes me want to buy a universal just to put in my luggage…

This is actually the correct answer. The journey to and within Mordor would be nothing for a SHERP!!

Well, to be fair you can’t wish you didn’t survive the fall, so that is always going to look away worse. As I type this, it sounds nonsensical but was funnier in my head

Holy fuck I’ve got a friend that will die on the hill that you (customer) should tip, and generously every time. Given his experience with it, I agree to a point, but only because he willingly chose to dig heels into that job for better or for worse. I do tip because I feel it’s earned in most cases. I just don’t agree with being over the top about it for sure. Part of that is his personality too… And the more I think about it; fuck that guy.

I’ve used the drop in cold water, heat to boiling, then turn heat off. Leave eggs in hot water, set a timer for 12 minutes and once complete, transfer to ice bath in fridge.

Hell yeah

No worries at all, it’s just fun to be able to relate to how our bodies will break down just like a car with no maintenance. When you’re young, you don’t worry about it as much and the aches and pains. Just another fact of getting older that most people get to experience.

You just unlocked another memory. Doing some bleach cleanup of a wall that had animals in it (painted cinder block behind framing). 2 sections out of 6 completed, I threw my back out. I continued to finish the clean up in agony because I was so mad about the problem at hand. I need to focus more on my upper body and back (I run a lot, but that does close to nothing for core support).

I wrecked my neck sleeping wrong once. Had to go get meds because it wasn’t getting immediately better the next day (nor the next two after). That’s the part about getting older that sucks. “Surprise your next hurts!”

Gonna start down a rabbit hole here - but are there any good rf remotes for htpc? I’ve been using Nvidia shield devices for the better part of what feels like a decade now and they’re awesome - with the exception of lacking hardware av1 decode.

I’ve got an older AMD bulldozer platform with 16 or so tb behind it. SMB serves up all of the media to Nvidia shield platforms running Kodi. Away, I’ll wire guard in to my network to remotely access media and compute as needed. I’m a big fan of not running a bunch of integrations that would fail at a time I’m just trying to watch something and relax; IT support at home after doing it all day sucks.

I’m fairly tall; just rented a Nissan Versa sedan and I almost fell uncomfortable extending the seat all the way back. Wouldn’t want a child behind me, but it has surprising driver room for being a smaller sedan.

I always do this when talking. When listening I can focus on eye contact just fine, but my brain will not let me waste cycles trying to maintain eye contact while thinking through communication with someone.

Given his parents, I highly doubt they were worried about teaching him about that.

Antidepressants mess with the drive for sure.

A squolar, if you will

I have a dual socket R620 with 256gb RAM that I never turn on (proxmox) and another box with a single xeon 1518d (esxi). Collapsing both down to a repurposed Sophos SG135 (atom c3558) with 32g ram, 512gb sata and a noctua fan (proxmox). I already use another sg135 running opnsense. I run mostly lightweight loads anymore (HomeAssistant, netbox, unifi controller) so I really don’t need things turned on that have overkill horsepower. I have a separate file server that I need to upgrade sometime (old 4 core bulldozer amd) but it keeps chugging away.

Are you doing this nas on custom hardware? Curious about the build if so.

Grabbed the mass effect series for under a fiver. Played for a few hours and realized I was not enjoying it at all.
