I guess, remember that whatever it is didn't happen to several billion other people. It can be hard to switch off empathy.

Also understand that the human brain is a complex thing, and if parts of it are physically broken or missing, the person might not be able to control of what they're doing.

It's taken out Ecosia as well.

Thought it might have been related to Goon Bags - cask wine in Austraila.

Such colourful days :)

I work at a community radio station and also am admin for our small town's local Facebook group. It might suck a bit but it still has a large audience.

Asus F555D - 12G RAM, AMD R8 M350DX GPU and a sticker that says Radeon Dual Graphics. That's probably what was tripping up the system booting to a black screen.

Difficult with Facebook as the interface keeps getting changed - the instructions go out of date so damn fast.

So I'm guessing they grabbed the %appdata% for Chrome and were able to get the passwords out of that?

Not Sandisk. Had several just die with no recovery possible.
Kingston had a few failures but probably OK as a cheap one.
Only had one Samsung crash, so mostly sell those despite the premium these days.

Baah. KBIN just ate my reply.

Point form since I forgot to save to clipboard first.

Tried mint - booted to black screen
Tried ubuntu - got silly crashes like in the post trying to install stuff. It also wanted me to sign up for some sort of support package with 5 free devices to get updates or something. Also, trackpad scrolling was uncontrollable. Would scroll up half a screen or more as I lifted my fingers off.
Tried fedora - only 100% and 200% zoom option, and no right click.

Managed to fix the fedora issues with some command line found on Google and a gnome customising addon.

n00b here, just playing. Can't migrate fully as I need VBA and Playit Live etc.

I only saw ASL twice. Memories of mIRC on a monochrome laptop.

Did you De-qualcomm it too, or not affected?

No luck with PlayIt Live.

and bacon.

Recently bought a g84 - it has SD card or Dual Sim capability, along with a headphone jack and stereo speakers. For a $AU350 device it's pretty good - only thing I miss is a telephoto lens.

Aussie slang for a hot Barbecue Chicken from a supermarket - typically sold in a plastic carrier bag. Classed as the Bachelor's handbag as it is not uncommon for a single guy to buy one as a meal.

Magnifying Glass + Ant = unhappy ant.
Eyeball + Sun = Magnifying Glass + Ant
= unhappy ant.

Sun to the power of ant = magnifying glass.
Ant to the power of sun = unhappy ant.
Error: Used ant twice.

RiF reaching senility.

Came to /kbin first, and still here sometimes but Voyager wins on my phone after Neurospicy Artemis disappeared.

My dog and cat love a good Bachelor's Handbag every few days. I'd happily have those pretty regularly, although they don't seem to keep you full for long.

I admin our small town's most active Facebook group, so I have to hang around for that.

WhatsApp for tech support.

Now I'm a bit sad. A part of my childhood has died. bash.org.

I know there was one where someone was typing on IRC while driving his truck, and ends his quote with "fuck just rear ended a lady" but no way to find that quote directly now.

That was years ago, before smart phones I think.

Yep. It's nice to know you're in control of it. Not like bloody AnyDesk which decided one day out of the blue to remove the TCP Tunneling feature I was using.

Those words can be arranged in different positions to get a different meaning.

Why Hmm?

My 2014 Toshiba i7 still chugs along. Technically it's two laptops in one as the first one if it was rebooted while hot the GPU would go all 1024x768 in the top left corner. The replacement mainboard I got ended up being an AMD one but if I enable the AMD chip in device manager it simply dies so it uses the onboard Intel HD graphics instead.

1GB SSD, plus 2GB HDD in an optical bay adapter.

It's on its third battery - works for about an hour but jumps to 7% within a minute of running on battery, so if I put it to sleep etc it won't go again without power.

Most likely it won't work as very few websites will work with XP's level of SSL security these days.

Love my Tinkercad. So simple.

Try converting to MP3 first if using Audacity: https://www.neowin.net/software/file-converter-universal-right-click-media-converter/

MP3DirectCut - https://mpesch3.de/ - might also suit. I use it a lot for community radio stuff as it doesn't have to pre-load the entire file, making extracting interviews from the MP3 log files a very quick process. Cue the file, B for begin, N for end, File, Save selection, done.

Star Wars - the one where R2D2 gets zapped by Sand People and falls over with a comical thud.

Haven't seen it for yonks, but enjoy it when I do.

Any worse and we'll think it's Colonel Sanders in the top left...

Trying via kbin instead.

Add your own text.

Tomato plants in distress apparently make sounds too.

TIL.

Aah so that's why my .html file won't display properly.

Trains don't go to every supermarket. Trucks still have to put the freight on a train and then take it off again at the other end. Train makes sense for large items with a single destination such as raw materials for processing etc, but for stuff that's gotta to go to a myriad of destinations, a truck can often get it there with less handling.

PS - kbin signing me out every so often is starting to give me the sh**s.

Snickers

Most of those I haven't heard of, but that's because I'm an Aussie...

I still remember a Ben Elton skit where he mentions 'Findus - Meals for one. Lonely Bastard range."

From memory you were to get two so the checkout person thought you had company.

I think he / she (I can't tell) is just nibbling the tang.
