Was about to comment the same thing.

Your post inspired me to pull my old PS3 Slim off the shelf and give it a shot. Fortunately it is one of the ones capable of custom firmware. I successfully jailbroke it and am now running custom firmware, next I just have to figure out how to do anything useful with it, lol.

I just replaced a drive today that has been running 24/7 for the last 5.18 years. It hadn’t failed yet but was in a predictive failure state due to the amount of bad sectors it has accumulated. 3 other disks in the same giant raid array are showing some bad sectors but not enough to be over the ‘replace me now’ threshold.

They costed less back when the competition was the IBM PC, which cost as much as a car back in the 80s. Hasn’t been true for decades now.

Yeah, places with lots of sunshine are more likely to do stuff like this. I recently visited Tucson, AZ, and the amount of solar panel coverage all over the place was very impressive. Both rooftops and parking lots.

As a shit golfer - yes, a sleeve of golfballs is always welcome. I’ll lose them soon enough and always need more.

Big cult compound vibes,

I think the ones in that lot were sitting there waiting for recall work to be done before they could be delivered to suckers customers.

They charge fast when the battery is fresh and healthy. When the battery health gets shitty the software automatically switches it to slowly trickle charge to preserve it, although you can go into the settings and re-enable the previous fast charging.

My SE is currently at 75% of its original battery capacity. I put it on at 8AM this morning after charging it all night, tracked one workout during the day and it is now almost 10PM and it is at 16% charge and dropping fast.

Schadenfreude intensifies

That was a fascinating read, thanks for sharing!

Jellyfin is excellent. You can always just download it and run it on whatever you’re running your existing setup on and give it a try. The server’s available for a bunch of platforms.

I have a regular-ass Amazon Fire TV stick 4k max that I use to play my Jellyfin content. It has native hardware support for h.265. I can’t remember the last time it needed a stream transcoded. Of course, it is encumbered with the Amazon ecosystem, but it was cheap.

I also have one of those $20 Walmart Android TV boxes. The UI is a little slow in it but it plays the same Jellyfin content just fine, and you can replace the stock launcher on it with whatever you want.

While Google certainly has a lot of responsibility for how shit their search results have become and the effects they have on website operators, the SEO industry can all go eat a giant bag of dicks for being the driving force behind making search results worthless trash.

Ayy, I have a Ryzen 7 based T14 Gen2. Wonderful machine. Enjoy!

The audiophile reality distortion field in effect again.

I left reddit last year during the API bullshit. 4chan is full of cancer, and Lemmy is pretty much the next biggest community that I could find. I’m also on a couple of smaller sites like Discuit and Tildes.

I have a large box of random cables, probably half of which are totally obsolete. Might need 'em someday.

The feasibility of that will be highly variable depending on where you live. Much of America is a public transit desert.
