I stopped updating Discord’s app once they did the shitty port of the iOS version to Android. Rolled back to 126.21 and haven’t updated since. Sure some things are bugged, like the new usernames (shows Username#0000 for unique names now but who cares) and the nitro profile animation things. Once that version stops working, I stop using Discord.

Yup, I have a 3090 and even then I don’t bother with RTX. It’s a gimmick Jensen and Nvidia love to push as a must have feature. In reality you don’t notice it if you’re playing a game normally, it’s a “stop and smell the roses” feature you only turn on to check out once and turn off immediately when you get frame dips.

I mean why buy a dining room table when you can just steal your neighbors patio furniture

Music slav on divolt. Plop in the link to the playlist/album into the download request then wait for it to download and zip it and you download from there. Max 100 tracks per playlist however.

It’s how I get my liked Spotify songs downloaded in mp3 with no DRM and throw them on my iPods.

Obviously a VPN is recommended

Works with FLACs off Deezer, Qobuz and Tidal as well

Edit: hmm looks like they’ve moved to discord now

Late reply but whatever

I have a few iPods I still have kicking around. I have a 4th gen classic that I’ve done a flash mod to. Now it has 60GB of reliable storage as opposed to the 40GB it came with. Still works amazing.

Also have a 2nd gen Mini with a 128GB flash mod and a 5.5 gen classic still running the original hard drive.

Does the USPS, FedEx and UPS give a crap about weed shipments since Hemp sprayed with the same terpenes and looks the same as weed has been shipped legally for 9 years now?

Even if they did, won’t they get a lot of false positives because of a large amount of it being sprayed hemp buds that are legal as hemp? Also, I know a lot of dispensaries get their stock like vape pens and such delivered this way already. How does that all work?

Well, if you’re stupid enough to mail some weed or any other controlled substance via USPS Media Mail, they don’t need a warrant or even Postal Inspectors to open it. As long as it is clear that the item is not media of some kind, it can be opened and documented to charge the correct postage.

Saw this before when some ding-dongs tried dumping mushroom growing kits (not exactly illegal) in the blue box at my old office. The only reason they opened them is because the fertilizer inside was causing a noticable amount of steam to come from the box (it was winter as well). All they really did was return it for proper postage because it was the wrong type.

Save money on postage. Media Mail is cheaper than First Class/Ground Advantage or Priority Mail and still offers tracking.

Prices in Brazil are much higher compared to the US. Once you convert that new price of R$3,599 to USD you’re looking at $721. Prices are just higher in Brazil because reasons.

I binge watched Bill Hader’s “Barry” when the last season came out and didn’t know what to do afterwards.

Also had the same feeling when Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad both ended. Such good shows.

Did that a couple years ago. I was trying to cancel my PS+ subscription because I didn’t use my PS4 much after building a PC and they kept giving me issues. I simply deleted my card info from the account and let the subscription end that way.

Now they keep saying there’s a problem with my account and I need to re-add my card info.

No thanks, Sony.

Same here, I do pickups at a CVS daily and always see the same like 3 people behind the counter, always running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off. It’s a very quick and simple task of just swapping my empty tub with their tub full of outgoing packages, but there have been days where I’ve stood there for 10 minutes waiting for one of the poor souls back there to have the 5 seconds to swap tubs with me. I always feel bad for them.

I’m sure CVS pharmacists/ techs will follow Walgreens once this happens.

That’s how driving on 90 or Route 9 east into Boston was. Normally a nightmare but on Route 9 I’d hit green lights the whole way.

1 hour commute turned into 15-20 minutes

It just reinstalled Edge, put a shortcut for it on your desktop and start menu, made it your default browser and migrated all your cookies and login info to Edge (for ad and tracking purposes) before uninstalling said browsers.

No big deal, bro

BigDaddySlim,
@BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world avatar

Well if course I’m over exaggerating, but Windows does love to reinstall Edge no matter how many times I remove it

BigDaddySlim,
@BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world avatar

No they have bigger priorities, like retroactively demonitizing and removing videos that used to be just fine under the new ruse of “making everything more kid friendly” when we all know it’s to make it more advertiser friendly

And of course disabling these modems cause the cars to throw up warnings and potentially put the car in limp mode, so you can’t even turn the damn things off without potentially bricking the car.

Metal bottle caps. Like beer bottle caps. Started when Fallout 3 was out and never really stopped. I haven’t counted in a long time but I’d say it’s around 5000 or so now.

Different variants of Fight Club, mostly VHS, DVD and Blu-ray, not so much the book, although I do own a copy. I have one of the 500 Comi-Con 2014 Blu-rays they made. Have all the Fight Club 2 comics as well, even some rare cover variants.

Also Halo games and collectibles. All the legendary statues, limited edition versions, etc.

One of my favorites, yeah. Definitely the movie I’ve watched the most.

I’m using the free version of Sync for Lemmy now, I don’t see any ads. Maybe because my phone has the adguard server as my DNS server and it’s just blocking them all?

How atrocious are they when not using adguard?

Family of man killed by police responding to wrong house in New Mexico files lawsuit (www.cbsnews.com)

Used to live in Chaves county for many years. Law enforcement there is even worse than the rest of what you hear in the country for a few reasons. Roswell PD for example would pay for your police training, so these guys and gals would get a free ride to FLETC as long as they were going to join RPD.

However, most of the time they would graduate, start working in Roswell and immediately realize how shitty the town and corruption within RPD was and transfer to another office, usually out of state. It became an issue for a long time where people would just get the free FLETC ride and go off elsewhere, making local PD was so thin that State Police as well as the Sheriff’s Department were having to help out with mundane calls well below their pay grade.

So this causes the other issue, the only cops there consistently are the douchefucks that peaked in high school (and peek at high schoolers, both a joke and the reality, see Cass Mason of Hagerman, NM PD) who have an ego and power fantasy. They have room temperature IQ and AR15s in the back seat. I’m sure Farmington is no different with their police academy candidates.

So this story didn’t surprise me when it happened, sadly. Hope the family gets what they deserve from these shitty cops.

I make ~$1,500-$1,600 every two weeks (varies based on OT). My rent for a small one bedroom is $1,200 (utilities included). Other apartments in my town are easily $1,700+ for a barebones similar place, no utilities included.

As much as I pay for how small my place is, I still have it good compared to others in town. Other apartments I’ve seen have a miniscule kitchen, the only thing keeping them from being kitchenettes are the full sized appliances. I have a decently sized one for the size of my apartment.

I hate it here.

You don’t necessarily need an account to use the Nvidia drivers, just if you want automatic updates through GeForce Experience. Not saying that’s any better, in fact it’s almost as shitty, just wanted to clarify.

I just used a junk email to make an account for the auto updates.

Basically yeah. 10 second or so vertical video to compete with TikTok and Instagram Reels, because no one has an attention span longer than 10 seconds anymore

This reminds me of college. Was downloading movie torrents on my laptop while in class, just made it so it wouldn’t go to sleep when you closed the lid. So the IT guys kept kicking me off, so I’d change my MAC and keep going. It got to the point where I did that so much that the IT guys were actually going around campus looking for whoever was doing it. Also I changed my MAC so much it fried the wifi card in my laptop to the point it needed replaced lmao. Good times.

BigDaddySlim,
@BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it was an older Win7 system and kinda shit hardware from Acer. Don’t think the wifi card was a brand I had ever heard of either.

    14TB on my PC, mix of NVME, SATA and an old Spinny Boy HDD. I have 1.5TB on my Xbox One X and 2.5TB on my PS4, but I never really touch them for more than a Plex player and PSVR on the PS4 anymore.

    Also 22TB in my NAS that I have a partition for Steam game backups for faster downloads to my PC.

    DankPods is the only reason why I’d consider using Floatplane, but I’ve already been a Patron of his for a long time and could just up my tier sub if I wanted to support him more, which I may do if this effects his streams.

    Isn’t this from World War Z where he actually plays a doctor with the World Health Organization?

    BUT DONT YOU WANNA PLAY AS KEVIN DURANT FOR ONLY 30 REAL WORLD DOLLARS??? -Activision, probably

    Yeah I played Warzone Verdansk/Caldera a lot, spent many hours on it. Verdansk will always hold a place in my heart. Warzone 2 shits on all of that so bad they had to remake the Steam page to have better reviews (it didn’t work).

    My friends and I that play CoD have moved to playing CoD Mobile on Gameloop and have a much better time there than in MW2 and Warzone 2.

    As soon as they made the news about this I jumped ship. Switched to Firefox on everything, and FF on my phone has been better than expected. Having mobile extensions is phenomenal, especially since I like to listen to YouTube videos while at work, and can keep my phone locked or be in another app while it plays in the background now without paying for premium.

    Oh and uBlock my beloved on mobile 🧡
