I have this but also visual voicemail. So I still never listen to voices unless the transcript bugged out

Optimization?
What’s that?

Scrivener is pretty damn good if you’re into writing.

For novels, screenwriting or things like DnD it’s got a corkboard with scene cards you can drag and drop around to make the story flow better.

It also has character management with little cheat sheets for notes. You can track character persona/relationships nicely.

$60, lifetime purchase with free upgrades and you can install on all your computers in your household

I could see a use case for this…

You work in a office and keep this in your shirt pocket set to voice activation.

Good to capture any conversations to CYA in funky situations. Basically wearing a wire.

The fact that you found this is wild

Yeah. I have random old laptops with fresh Linux on them for no reason. Good to have out to a friend/family or use as a air-gapped sandbox.

Yeah I gave up on radio customization when I got a car that didn’t have a dual bin and didn’t keep up. Looking at newer cars and barely anything can be swapped/upgraded it seems.

Yeah this is the kind of shit I was looking forward to when I got into driving in the 2000s. But then car manufacturers started doing thier own non standard radios.

Then the car mod communities made kits to for a dual bay fit.

Then the corpos made radios required to service the car…

No regulations to protect the consumers let them do what they want.

The car part of the car should be completely independent of the entertainment part of the car. Fuckers.

The line can get blurry when you talk about EVs but protections should still be possible.

My car is from the 2010s.

I bought a GPS looking screen for $40 that has android auto and carplay. I already have Bluetooth added onto the radio for audio streaming.

Works perfectly for GPS off of my phone and as a media controller.

Only thing I’m missing is steering wheel controls.

I really miss DVD and Bluray menus for movies.

Also directors commentary, deleted scenes and alternate endings

Until google kills sideloading

Firefox updates

New Features Popup

“NEW: AI enchanced features!”
“Enable?”

Its not rocket science. Enable the AI crap to pay the heads of your stockholders andale it Opt-IN to keep users happy.

I love this idea haha

Holy crap. This is what I was thinking of when I asked Lemmy hahaha

No UPS?

Do you track your outages to get your metric of 46 or is it just a random number?

Workstation: 24 days. Daily driver. Laptop Linux mint

GPU desktop: 0 days. Custom gaming desktop hooked up to my tv in the living room. Powered on only during use.

Home Server: 0 days. SFF HP in a moving box. Planned to build and setup services. Got my laptop running a few things on as needed.

MondoMedia videos were classic Youtube for me. They made the Here come Dr. Tran videos.

Also illWillPress videos staring Foamy the Squirrel Like so

This just gives me PTSD and reminds me of why I quit playing games on Xbox live…

Last game I enjoyed playing back then was Gears games with a premade squad on private chat.

There was a time when I connected my nextel via USB to my computer and used it to connect to 36k internet and played runescape all day…

Good times punching giants for big bones.

Best I got is trusting my gut feeling.

15 years ago we had a blizzard.
I’m driving a company car on a highway.
My boss called me telling me I can go home for the day.
I’m younger and dumb so I tell him I know how to drive so I’m going to finish my last stop first.
Going 60mph in the slow lane. Barely any cars.

Then I see a cluster of five cars going 80mph~ (15 over the limit like people normally do) while tailgating each other.

My Spidey sense freaks out. I lay off the accelerator and just slow all the way down to 40 and let them pass. Don’t wanna be near them at all.

Once they’re about 200(?) yards ahead of me all of them hit the brakes. Front car slides rotating 90° and gets ping ponged around in front of me Black ice

Hit my brake. Does nothing.
Start white knuckleing.
See the fast lane/brake down open.
I rotate my wheel just enough to start a turn and clear them just in time. All five hit each other or the walls.

Holy shit I’m glad I listened to my gut
Even if you think you know how to drive. Fucking idiots can still kill you.
