OtisRamflow,

There was a recall on, I think, Chevy headlights. The LEDs were too bright, unfortunately recalls are at the will of the owner.

OtisRamflow,

My electric toothbrush does 30 seconds per quadrant, 2 minutes total. I’m 38 have zero cavities and my teeth are fine. I only brush once a day.

OtisRamflow,

I really enjoyed For All Mankind.

OtisRamflow,

“In 2005, Transport Canada, a federal agency, decided to do something about it. Starting in 2007, it declared, all passenger vehicles sold in Canada would require an engine immobilizer, a basic anti-theft device that uses an electronic signature in the key to unlock the engine. If the key isn’t present, the car can’t be started. This prevents hot wiring and other old-school, brute force methods of stealing cars.”

Saved you a few min.

OtisRamflow,

Gotta remember to hydrate!

OtisRamflow,

You’re fine, just follow the iFixit guide. It’s super easy. After removing the screws I pulled it apart with my fingernails, no problem. Remove screw, replace drive, put screw back in. This is like, day one stuff at a computer repair job. Again you’re fine. If you can do a Lego set, you can replace the m.2 on a steam deck. Don’t psych yourself out, my mother could do it.

OtisRamflow,

It’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life.

OtisRamflow, (edited )

I just bought a USB m.2 adapter and flashed steam OS to the drive before I ever even put it in the deck. First boot was just like booting the original drive.

OtisRamflow,

I purchased the drive, flashed steam OS to it, put it in the deck and turned it on. Really really simple. Didn’t encounter a single hiccup.

Looking for a good Linux to install on a slow 2019 machine. Relative beginner with Linux.

Hello! My old laptops hard drive packed it in, so I got a new one and now need to flash drive an operating system on it. I think this is my time to give Linux a proper go. I tried it before for my gaming PC but switched for a cracked Windows key because I was young and not bothered to learn....

OtisRamflow,

I would recommend reinstalling windows, because the activation key is still on the mobo, and you might as well use it. Then you can fuck around with dual boot, and try all sorts of Linux distros.

You can even put them on a USB stick and side load, without installing anything at all. This is great for testing, until you find one you like and pull the trigger on a dual boot setup.

OtisRamflow,

Sorry I was so late to the game. I used to work computer repair, always had a Linux stick to boot into, and changed it up every couple of weeks.

Always something fresh, it was fun seeing all the different distros. You can also make a Linux USB stick with persistent storage and install apps and save settings. In my experience those tend to shit the bed after a few weeks.

Another option that’s one step above a USB stick, is an m.2 enclosure. I had those with dual boot, windows and Ubuntu. I could plug that into anyone’s computer, boot the external drive and rule out hardware problems with ease.

The m.2 enclosures are almost indistinguishable from an internal drive, made it so I could boot into my own setup on any machine.

OtisRamflow,

I’ve never heard of such a thing, on any computer. Though HP would be that shitty. Sounds like something fishy with your UEFI, you ever update your bios?

I used to do this like 30 times a day sometimes (HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus), never had an issue with boot menus. The ONLY problem I’ve ever encountered was an external boot triggering bit locker, and locking me out.

What you’ve described is a hell I’ve never experienced, but def does not sound like standard operating procedure.

DIY Alternate Start (lemmy.world)

Starting my 3rd playthrough, I felt like it was time to do something completely different. Everyone has their own head cannon, but I was struggling to envision a life path that had me joining Constellation, doing assorted heroic and adventurous things, and then becoming a corporate spy. For that reason, I’ve yet to do the...

OtisRamflow,

Did you do NG+?

OtisRamflow,

Hmm I’m like 160hrs into first play through, you’ve peaked my interest. Maybe I should wrap up and start over with ng+.

OtisRamflow,

I upgraded mine before I ever even turned it on. Now I just wish I’d gone with the 1tb instead of 512gb. I did get a hub, that allows me to connect external drive enclosures. A recent update just enabled auto-mounting external drives, which is nice.

OtisRamflow,

What screen did you upgrade to?

OtisRamflow,

Good call, have fun buddy.

OtisRamflow,

I used to pull the product key stickers off parts we bought at my old job. Laptop bottom cover, with free windows 7 key. Every computer in my house is running Windows 11 pro, activated with a Windows 7 key, that was otherwise just going to get thrown away.

OtisRamflow,

The clutch!?!?! You need to look at some chainsaw anatomy bud. 🤣 The centrifugal clutch on a chainsaw is under a panel on the side. You don’t touch the clutch ever, at least not when the saw is running.

Almost every single chainsaw I’ve ever used the chain will free spin at start. Unless you have the chain lock engaged.

He doesn’t have a hand on the trigger, but it doesn’t really matter with “ol buzzy” when she first fires up.

OtisRamflow,

I was just razzing ya.

I will say I have a Poulan, and a Stihl, that BOTH go at like half throttle when you use the choke on a cold start. I would NOT put my testicles anywhere near it. You Have to squeeze the trigger once then it will go back to an idle and the chain doesn’t “free spin” anymore.

I’ve also seen a loose chain pick up enough momentum that it cut right through my coworker’s chaps. This is why you should always put the brake on if it’s running but you’re not actively cutting.

It’s funny as shit watching someone have to clean the remains of their chaps outta the chain, and clutch though.

OtisRamflow,

It’s Ron being an insensitive prick, that’s the joke.

OtisRamflow,

Some other quick picks from it:

-Improved sleep resume speed.

-Improved Bluetooth connection stability.

-The performance overlay can be customized via configuration files.

-An upgraded Arch Linux base for the operating system.

-An upgrade to the KDE Plasma desktop mode.

-Fixed an issue where certain workloads would exhibit severe CPU performance issues unless SMT was manually disabled.

-External storage devices are now auto-mounted when connected to Steam Deck.

That last one is pretty great, I can now much more easily connect my external m.2 enclosures for game storage.

OtisRamflow,

Just pay 1000 credits to get it repaired at a port, then go blow up some ships and salvage ship parts.

OtisRamflow,

I was just saying pay one time, then with a repaired ship go blow up some pirates and salvage their free ship parts for future repairs.

How can I teach my dog to entertain herself?

I recently adopted an adult dog. She’s sweet, affectionate, and well behaved. But it seems like the only thing she cares about is scritches! She’s either sleeping or shoving her head into your hands for attention. She doesn’t care about toys, or food, or anything else I give her. I can’t teach her games since the only...

Those are great, get some thick sausage-like treats to put down the middle. Keeps our dogs occupied for a long time. They’ve gotten pretty good at figuring them out, but initially this would keep them busy for like an hour trying to get every last bit out.

OtisRamflow, (edited )

Vans also have brakes.

OtisRamflow,

I never read the book/books(?), thought the first season was cool. Seems like everyone who read the book hates it.

I thought it was interesting, visually appealing, and I pretty much binged the whole first season.

OtisRamflow,

Looks a bit like a location in Day of Defeat source.

OtisRamflow,

Edge’s baked in coupon code finder is incredible.

OtisRamflow,

I saw this happening in real life one time, on the back of a Dodge Neon. Best part is they were in the parking lot of a Planned Parenthood. We cheered them on, then went about our business.

OtisRamflow,

Canned pumpkin is really good to give your dog if they have constipation or diarrhea.

OtisRamflow,

But the trend will die out, with any luck.
