real actually. definitely one of the most memorable progress bars. well, that and the bios update progress bar

such a great show. thats one of the few shows set on an alien planet that truly feels unnervingly alien

damn I remember using CNNs back in the day for image processing. never realized truly how far back they go.

“fix for real this time”

let’s gooo super excited to see the improvements

you can absolutely do it yourself. be prepared and get the right tools, look up many many guides and videos before you start, but I honestly think it’s doable for someone whose never opened a phone. those batteries are an absolute pain in the ass to remove, but as long as it’s discharged below 20% you really don’t have to worry about it it catching fire or anything catastrophic like you’re lead to believe (just be careful ofc and wear PPE)

tf you talking about? the engineer engineers the solution and the developer develops it

programming! I had heard that programming is better on Linux so I gave it a go and quickly realized it was better for everything else as well

that does sound super nice. I’ll prob give it a go sometime soon, thanks!

is it still worth getting into? it seems like something I’d like but I’ve never played it before and don’t have crazy amounts of time like I used to. should I still give it a go?

yeah it sucks. here’s a decent little writeup on it https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2017/11/180698/jesse-lacey-brand-new-sexual-misconduct

great album, wish the lead singer wasn’t a predator so I could listen to it shame free

gen z here. I genuinely think most millennials are cool asf. y’all took the brunt of the hate from older generations for us. I just hope we can pay it back somehow in the long run

yep. not worth the troubleshooting time when you can pull a brand new image from the servers in about 5 minutes, especially when it ties into a file server so you don’t have to worry about lost data.

hm. yeah I def read that wrong. more on point I can get any part I need for my own repairs very cheap through our wholesalers so that’s a good perk I guess

damn I didn’t realize they were arm devices, I assumed all surfaces were x86. thanks for the info!

absolutely. I work at a phone/computer repair shop.

I have a policy called the “front desk fix policy”. pretty much, if I can fix it at the front desk in under a few minutes, I’m not charging you for it. common culprits are simple software fixes and charging port cleanings.

I give free screen protectors with every repair instead of charging customers for it. the screen is the expensive part not the screen protector.

I also tend to give a 10$ discount if people are just cool to talk with. if we genuinely enjoy talking to each other, they’ve made my day better, so I might as well do the same for them.

both of y’all should try here: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup

there is a difference between racism and prejudice. that comment is prejudiced but not racist. if white was replaced with black then it would be racist, bc there is an inherently power structure in play meant to create more economic and social opportunities for white people.

I really wish more people understood this 😭

as a treat, many ducks love blueberries! it shouldn’t be their main food though. I had a duck that would go wild for blueberries.
