    Yeah, I had a realization after the election that I was basically consuming news as entertainment in place of other things I could be reading or doing. I’m voting, I’m attending protests, knowing more isn’t going to change anything. It’ll just make me feel worse.

    I wish apps would just stop being coy with notification settings. Like it’d be cool to be notified when my eBay order is delivered. But if I just want that, I need to manually disable:

    • Auction Updates
    • Offer updates
    • Order updates
    • Listing help
    • Messaging
    • Personalized recommendations
    • Rewards and offers
    • General promotions
    • Item ending
    • Item updates
    • Auction updates
    • Offer updates
    • Cart updates
    • eBay live (whatever the hell that is)

    You can flip one switch to disable all, but if you want any one of them, you need to manually disable each and they’re split between four sub-menus.

    Multiply this by 20-30 apps because every parking garage and water fountain needs an app now, and it’s a nightmare.

    I carry a dumbphone now and wear a Casio.

    We had a black cable with a box at the end dangling from the utility lines across the street from our house for like six months. The box was suspended like 2 feet off the ground and the neighbors even parked their cars around it.

    Anyway, internet goes out one night at 3am, and sure enough, I could hear some bolt cutters on my security camera followed by a person walking in frame to look at our mailbox (which is locked).

    Talked to the guy repairing it a few days later and he confirmed it was just fiber.

    What a tool.

    I hear that.

    The other thing about the “why not sell it?” argument is…what exactly does that accomplish? There are still just as many Teslas on the road. I guess someone who would buy new and give Tesla money could buy your used one? But what if that person is an Elon simp? Would cheaper used cars on the market change their mind?




  • oddly hard to find online.

    Right? I was hoping for like a wikipedia page with the dimensions of every kind of DIMM. Might have to make one…

    So I think you’re right. The only explanation is that I ordered RDIMM instead of UDIMM and that Kingston messed up.

    I just double checked, the compatibility checker suggested the -EU variant, but I was looking at -ER. (Un/Registered).

    It doesn’t help that ECC and registered get interchanged a bit it seems.
