What are the "AK-47" of items? (cheap, durable, just works) in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] Noedel@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I had one that lasted for 12 years. By the end it was more of a media centre connected to my TV, but still.

3dfx Voodoo2, followed by a Riva tnt2. Good times were had.

They're still immeasurably better than Spotify, both for artists and in terms of bitrate...

Those are very expensive. It's what drove me to get a vasectomy

I've found that level of work etiquette extremely uncommon in NZ

For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Is your adblocker not stopping them?

Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Noedel@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The worst about ideation for me is that a few days/weeks/months later, I'm almost always thinking "I was willing to do that? Because of XYZ? That would've been so fucking stupid!"

But in the moment your brain can just be like "topping yourself is clearly the only logical solution" and make you actually believe that shit.

It's wild.

Sorry, I realise this is a bit off topic.

The word hang up threw me off a little given the context

After charger, Apple removes USB-C cable from the box in c/technology@lemmy.world

I dunno, I have so many USB c chargers and cables around that I bin them every time a device comes with another cable.

Microsoft says its Recall uninstall option in Windows 11 is just a bug in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Noedel@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yes I completely understand that. But it also undermines the "give your older laptop a new life with Linux" narrative that's out there at times. It's actually not that easy. I'm happy running Linux but I wouldn't put it on my moms old laptop..

This is my life right now.

I put Linux on my HP laptop...

Speakers give weird sound Media keys don't work Worst of all: ever since I updated the laptop somehow crashes my router? Like, I don't even know how this is possible, but it's happening.

I'm not an idiot but all the solutions to getting these seemingly basic things to work as intended are extremely contrived.

What's a good and non patronising way to help my neighbour out (lemmy.world)
 

My neighbour has a cat called Stevie. Stevie hangs out with us a lot and we look after him when my neighbour is away.

Yesterday we found Stevie very unwell in our garden. We took him to the neighbour and she immediately rushed him to the vet.

She mentioned the vet was 200 dollars which was a big unexpected expense for her. Her son's birthday is on Monday and she won't be able to do anything for his birthday now.

My wife and I are fortunate enough for 200 dollars to not be a lot of money for us and we want to help, but I'm unsure how.

One option would be that we leave her a little card with 100 dollars and write that we wanted to help because we care about Stevie too.

Another idea is we ask her to do some gardening for us (that's her job, and we're too busy to do it ourselves right now).

I don't want her to feel patronised or awkward about any of this... Happy to take insights.

We finally get bike lanes on Great North Road (www.nzherald.co.nz)
 

I literally can not wait for this. Cycling there is so awful.

Suck a shame they don't do a town centre upgrade. The Grey Lynn shops could use some love.

Cascade Saddle, New Zealand (lemmy.world)
 

Went her as a side trip on the Rees Dart track from Queenstown. It was a pretty grueling ascent from the hut, climbing almost 1000 metres on scree and rocks. The 18 km round trip took us quite a while!

This hike (5 days total) was absolutely stunning.

How do I tell my neighbours the windows in their bathroom are not frosted enough? (lemmy.world)
 

Neighbours recently had their home remodelled, which involved them putting new glazing in their bathroom. The glass is not frosted enough and there's a lot to see.

They are large windows too, starting at knee hight. How do I bring this up?

Bonus points if someone can tell me why this community keeps showing my subscription as pending.

Should be some snow capped volcanos there somewhere....
