I wonder how economical it would be to do a homemade EV conversion once my car’s engine is no longer feasible to maintain.

Knowing that maybe I brightened someone’s day on the internet :)

Damn. I usually got around that by having people send things to me to fix at my workbench, and then I mail them back.

“Sometimes, I dream about cheese…”

I plan on getting TF2ENGR on mine some day

Technically, you’re basically just protecting them from being accused of “Friendly fraud” by Amazon. All of the deliveries are insured, and the customer will still get the item eventually. You’ll just be costing Amazon’s insurer and theoretically raising their premiums.

Although it’s debatable if that’s a net benefit or cost to society lol, reminds me of those posts that say to randomly shoot a gun from a safe place within your city to lower home prices.

To be honest it’s just a personal preference. You’ll have access to the same posts and comments either way.

I deleted my google account and moved all of my youtube activity onto Grayjay (since it doesn’t require any account and any saved “subscriptions” are stored on your device locally), maybe that could be an option for you? They even have a desktop client now :)

Honestly, even as an American (from California - a rare state of sanity in this damn country), I’ve been moving to de-google and move away from stuff like reddit for months now at this point. Especially since user data requests by our federal government (and likely other world governments) are an open secret that these companies can’t really refuse.

Glad to see y’all on the same path :)

Especially if the linux support is good. I guess we’ll have to wait for reviews.

Counterpoint: I get joy from giving headpat to cat :)

That one’s the best by far.

“Piracy doesn’t hurt Nintendo, although I wish it did.”

Bandcamp is a good way to get music files you keep forever from artists who deserve the dough as well.

Sounds good - that was my intentions anyway.

Plz no clanker art

That’s why I have a 3d printer - so I don’t need to buy storage housing XD

The humble $5 DP in to HDMI out adapter cable:

Regarding the Nintendo Switch, it’s because of their engineered malicious USB-C protocol design that makes the console “Not behave like a good USB citizen should”. It’s less of an issue with the peripherals as a whole.

You can look up most of the issues with the standard, but TL;DR: DRM, expensive licensing fees, suboptimal performance compared to DisplayPort, and not able to be implemented in FOSS or even OSS systems (because of the shitty DRM which can be circumvented by an AliExpress splitter lmao)
