moody,

Roblox is well-known for predatory practices aimed at children, and predatory behavior from other users who may or may not be looking for children to abuse.

Banning Roblox entirely seems like a very reasonable thing to do IMO.

Why does a sale need a trailer?

I’ve been banging your wifi

On the ceiling is smoke detector. Carbon monoxide detectors go down low.

What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other...

moody,

I recently bought a Pinecil soldering iron from AliExpress, which is one of the main official ways of getting them. Very nice product.

moody,

Friend of mine solved this by using a sort of nail polish that tastes super bitter. Got her to keep her fingers out of her mouth.

moody,

First, someone has to have bought the winning ticket. Then, that same person needs to have lost the winning ticket. Next, that person has to have lost that ticket near where you are. And finally, you have to find that lost ticket.

So while both situations are very very far from certainty, and both are approaching zero, one of the two is much, much closer to zero than the other.

Where to find replacement light bulbs for artificial Christmas Tree?

Dearest lemmings, I have a prelit Costco tree that changes from warm white to color and several of the lights are out but I cannot for my life find a replacement anywhere. I called Costco/Polygroup (company that made the tree) and they don’t sell replacement led light bulbs but they gave me these specs: LED dual color 3mm...

moody,

Those look like press-ins, and they’re pretty standard. You could remove the bulb itself like mentioned, or you can remove the whole piece from another set and just press them into yours. I don’t know if you’ll be able to find individual lights though.

The big brain am winning again! I am the greetest!

moody,

Do I look like I know hwat a tachyon is? I just want a picture of a got dang cup of tea!

moody,

I’m switching to OS/2

moody,

How much antimony is too much antimony?

moody,

That’s the standard way. It’s how (most) distros partition by default.

moody,

Anakin would be proud.

moody,

Any kind of liquid? Like nitroglycerin?

moody,

To be fair to Ark, it has 9 massive maps, and with the exception of the main one, you can install only the ones you want to play on.

moody,

You mean he’s talking into the speaker side?

moody,

The rusty trombone is a classic.

moody,

They were not patrolling, they were called to the scene.

It’s still stupid though.

moody,

What competition? There never was any competition for Youtube.

moody,

Power delivery has different requirements, so it’s normal that not all ports allow it. And it’s also possible to have USB-C ports that are only on USB 2.0 hardware.

500%+ performance boost

To one game. Most others tested have seen a 5-15% increase in performance, and a couple have had 50% increases.

moody,

That’s not a bad idea if you have a part big enough to print and space on the bed for both. I’m curious how strong the print would be if it’s made up of a bunch of partial lines. It would be like multiple failure points per layer. But if the part doesn’t need that much strength, it would be convenient.

moody,

America needs gun control. Direly.

This is true, but doesn’t negate any of the other facts of the situation. They were essentially threatening him with weapons. Was the guy supposed to ask the boys nicely to prove that they were armed before defending himself? If they really were armed, that could easily have gotten him shot.

The situation sucks for everyone involved, but most people in that guy’s position would have done the same thing.

This child needed help, not a bullet.

Also agreed. But he tried to carjack an armed person with threats of violence. Are you trying to tell me that if two boys were threatening to shoot you, you’d calmly try to get them help?

moody,

You get a different genie who doesn’t grant any wishes.

that would completely kill Chrome and Chromium

It definitely wouldn’t. The majority of people would never know the difference. Most people use Chrome and don’t use ad blockers.

moody,

Those were the days when paid Xbox Live service was way better than the free PS network. If you wanted to play online, the experience was much better on Xbox. Sony’s online experience has vastly improved since then, and their first-party games are generally considered much higher quality than Microsoft’s alternatives.

moody,

That’s Angus, not Magnus.

He’s right about that though. I own an Ender 3 S1 Pro, but there’s also an Ender 3 Pro, and an Ender 3 S1. When do we get an Ender 3 V3 S1 Pro?

moody,

If you don’t need access to another VPN, Blokada does device-wide ad blocking on iOS and Android.

moody,

Have you tried a temperature tower? It’s possible you’re printing too hot and getting stringing as a result. If that doesn’t help, I found this video a while ago for dealing with some cases of stringing that might help.

I’m still pretty new to all this, but I know there are tons of variables that can affect the print quality, and stringing is a symptom of lots of different things.

moody,

I’m pretty sure a partially clogged nozzle can cause stringing issues as well. Brass nozzles are cheap, so it’s a pretty easy thing to check.

Unable to run Hi-Fi RUSH through Proton

I bought a Steam key for the game Hi-Fi RUSH from Fanatical today after reading numerous reviews and reports from proton.db, only to find that the game just does not launch. I press PLAY in Steam and all it does is change the PLAY button to CANCEL. I have tried forcing numerous different versions of Proton, adding -safe or -dx11...

moody,

The game ran for me out of the box, so I’m not sure what your issue is. Have you tried different versions of Proton?

Do you have gamemode installed?

What to do with an original switch dock

Hi again, I went thrifting and found a working, original switch dock for 3$ including the charging cable and assuming I could just plug in my other devices via the usb c input, I brought it. Turns out it doesnt work with other usb c devices for reasons and I dont own a switch personally so I’m kinda stuck with this cool paper...

moody,

It’s not the dock that is the issue, it’s the adapter. The Switch’s AC adapter is garbage and is made to work only with the Switch. Try plugging your phone into it, and you’ll see it won’t charge properly. If you replace the adapter with another USB-C adapter, it will probably work fine.

moody,

If I plug my Steam Deck or my phone to my Switch adapter, the connection goes on/off repeatedly. All three devices work fine with their own adapters.

For the moment, Youtube is managing to push ads onto me despite uBO.

moody,

Ah, the Ender Wiggin solution.

moody,

He also didn’t know he was killing the kid at the beginning on the story either, but he definitely meant to make sure that he wouldn’t be bullying anyone anymore.

moody,

So he wants you to take a loan out using your property as collateral to invest in his business? And if he doesn’t get you the promised return, what do you think happens to your collateral when you can’t pay back your loan?

moody,

TTV LOL handles twitch ads without cutting off the stream.

moody,

require back doors for strong encryption

That’s what the headline implies. Encryption is useless if a third party can decrypt it.

At what age and how do you tell children about the truth of Christmas?

I’m writing this as someone who has mostly lived in the US and Canada. Personally, I find the whole “lying to children about Christmas” thing just a bit weird (no judgment on those who enjoy this aspect of the holiday). But because it’s completely normalized in our culture, this is something many people have to deal...

moody,

My brother was straight up with his kids from the start. He didn’t want some imaginary fat man taking credit for the thoughtful gifts he gives them.

moody,

Some of the updates have already improved performance a decent amount. It’s still not great, but it’s better than 2 days ago.
