Yeah to me I don’t understand it either. But that’s personal choice. Then again I’m mostly an anti laptop person. Desktops make sense to me, laptops are the laissez faire I want to be a desktop but am demanding to much mobility for a function best performed in a localized hardwired intranet environment. With video games going mostly online I feel it has brought personal computers into a more internet focused setup and less of a local install hard computing get it done space. Thus exactly what companies like Amazon/Microsoft/etc want, creating a subscription based thin/zero client with a subscription to access anything.

Id say fuck the battery unless it’s for backup power, and still fuck it then if you don’t have your environment set up to run locally, as internet won’t work when the modems go out. Is it outdated concepts, sure… But it’s only outdated because marketing has pushed us that way in my opinion

So you are pro proprietary items, anti universal parts? I just think it’s a bad choice overall. I understand they make a battery wrap around components to make it fit, but overall I think it hurts the consumer

Honestly that just sounds worse. Why not use universal individually replaceable components unless you are trying to make a have to buy from us unique product

Are we going to tell him to crack open the pack and replace the individual cells that go bad, it’s usually safe with decent soldering, and an average volt/ohm meter to verify.

(Much cheaper than replacing many batteries as well).

Edit: thought I should say many batteries have moved away from that build.

That has to be version specific. I did run into the issue that the Apple devices app that Apple makes is only made available through the Microsoft Store though. So you can’t just run a standard install for it officially. Which sucks. Also their is no official Apple Devices app for Linux, so anyone who has an iPhone can’t “safely” manage their device without having both an Apple Account and a Microsoft account, or a Mac.

In my opinion thus far, AI is good for the consumer, not the enterprise. It has no new information, which is what makes companies grow. I know people don’t think the want it, but in the end, it will be that Microsoft, Apple, and Max n don’t have a reason for it right now. While Google does. (Bing is Microsoft so yes). People are idiots and can learn from others. New ideas can’t come from language models, thus useless to companies looking to engineer new ideas. But if you want to re-iterate BS people could not find, it helps. It will bleed anyone providing the information dry, so that will dry off, but it puts every dollar into the search engines povket for advertising, and steals from anyone chasing “the American Dream”.

Well shit I have to mark it down as something I shouldn’t try to rush through between tasks. I was a dumbass and just cd’d to the /media/ directory, ran the ls -la to verify they looked the same on both drives then not wanting to check all the sub directories ran the sudo 755 recursively from the media directory. In my haste I shoved my head up my ass and instead of typing ./ I typed / … I’ll have to reinstall the OS and start over later as it obviously wrecked the entire OS because it changed the permissions for even sudo before I hit Ctrl c, lol.

If that were the issue would it not add the folder and then not see the context?

To understand what you meant, does that mean I should try to mount them as mnt/w.e?

I see this under permissions

No docker, standard setup, files set to paths set to things like /media/open/whateverdrivename/movies or etc

Edit: yes I actually set the username to open lol

I go to the folder, copy the path, and run chmod from terminal, then copy the path to the jellyfin add library if your curious… it just won’t recognize anything

What kind of classes? Shooting? If so I’d say shooting won’t help much unless you have a community response to those threatening you. It just gives ammunition to those calling the American population dangerous, and trying to break them into groups so they can exploit hatred and fear. I believe that standing by all “groups” no matter what is what needs to happen. When someone tries to divide to conquer, the best answer I can see is avoiding any divides. The problem is it works on so many people, that about 30% of the country agrees that they have enemies in the country. Yet those people they think are enemies… Are no one they know, and would take as a friend if they were their neighbor.

Edit: that’s said as someone taught to shoot when I was 8 and has owned guns from 18, I’m 36. Guns aren’t the answer without community

Sadly I’m hoping they do it so Musk will poor money into allowing side loaded apps in Android and iOS permanently

When I moved to Tennessee a few years back I looked all over trying to figure out where our gas bill was. Water/electric/sewage/internet, I actually got through one company now which is kinda neat, but our heater is natural gas, and I haven’t been billed for it yet, which never makes sense to me. I keep wondering if the management company just covers it or something, but I should see a usage bill I would figure somewhere…

Small towns don’t manage much though. They came by to do an inspection a couple months ago and I was like oh shit, they had not stopped by since I moved in back in 2021. (Guess a new management company absorbed them). I’ve got a chicken coop and put chicken wire up around about 1,000+ square foot and I was wondering what they were going to say about it. They never ended up even going out back. Next year’s problem I guess.

Me: imdb movie name… thinking it will save me a second.

“Click the stop signs”

Me: fuck it, I really didn’t need to know if that actor was also the one who played in other movie.

We were trained into saving time with search engines, now I have to remember to not use them and just type in imdb.com and then use their search function

But didn’t we say we could win against 100 duck sized horses. So 5 horse sized ducks and I don’t think we have a chance

If I think your comment could be in a script that Kevin Bacon would have accepted at any point in his career I upvote it.

If not, I ignore it.

If it mentioned Kanye in a good light, I downvote

Sir, I posted elsewhere and it appears your expertice may help my experience. Android/web allows shuffle at the top for music. Roku only offers me shuffle in shows. Is there a way I can enable it in music and/or is there somewhere I could donate something small to your time to add a shuffle button to roku’s music client?

Edit: it’s very possible maybe I have my server or client settings set up wrong.

This is what I see on Android for the client under music

Yeah, apparently it’s top/center for Android and web based, and not present for Roku. But thank you for that information. The other person who responded made me investigate. So I need to find the person earlier who said they program the Roku one, and suggest shuffle for entire music playlist., also make a donation lol

I run the server from Mint, play from Roku client. I have a copyparty server set up on that mint sever as well, and we resorted to pulling up the website and having a 80s competition, trying to top the other but not by much so we didn’t go to what we thought would be the best song right aways, which we played from our phones so the other could scroll and look. Hers Samsung, mine Motorola, so both android.

Edit: Just checked the Android app for jellyfin. It appears we jumped from jellyfin to copyparty to early, the jellyfin app has the shuffle button.

At least we still made it fun
