I think your toaster might be broken… The pieces are supposed to rise half way up after it’s done toasting

Any standalone drawing tablets with screens are likely going to be worse about privacy than Apple. You probably want to look into buying a used laptop with a stylus touchscreen and put Linux on it.

It’s still going on. These things just take a long time to wind their way through the bureaucracy

One of the most popular video games of all time, especially among children.

My understanding is that most EVs’ batteries only take up a fraction of the space of an engine, and the motor just goes under the car connected to the drivetrain. So you couldn’t completely get rid of the hood, but most EVs even have a second “trunk” as the hood, so it could definitely be cut down

Androcur is expensive but extremely effective. The general advice is you only need to take a quarter of a standard 50mg tablet per day instead of a whole tablet, but I found that once my T levels were suppressed, I could maintain an undetectable T level with only 12.5mg of Androcur per week. The 1mg of cypro in Climen might be enough for you to maintain low T levels, you’d just need to try and find out, but I would highly recommend taking Androcur for at least the first 3-6 months since that’s when most breast growth occurs and so has the highest chance to be impeded by high T levels.

Master degree in EE here. It will almost certainly be fine to swap those batteries like that, I would be more cautious if it was some cheap Temu device but for a vintage Yamaha you’ll be fine.

One thing I will caution you about though, the synth almost certainly lacks under-voltage protection and could drain your 18650s below their minimum voltage. Make sure your cells have built-in protection or add some of your own.

Personally, I would try just a bit of Windex and a fingernail to start. Any other solvent has a chance of removing the printing.

See that em-dash after “years”? That tweet was written by an LLM. No wonder it makes no actual sense, an AI model has no idea that it’s ridiculous to berate a weather report, it’s just following instructions to reply with “AMERICA GREAT” to anything it thinks is “unpatriotic”.

Ohh, I completely understand what you’re describing. I was the same way for most of my young adult life, it’s seriously debilitating sometimes. My first recommendation would be to try and find a therapist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because that is what helped me more than anything. I don’t like to give armchair diagnoses, but I will say that if you need to spend multiple hours researching an every-day interaction before you feel comfortable attempting it, you almost certainly have something going on that needs more personalized help than strangers on Lemmy can give you.

If therapy isn’t an option for you, the best advice I can give is to just… Fake it 'till you make it. Chances are high that you’ll be able to figure out what’s going on in the moment, even if you’re not well prepared beforehand. To use your example of the bus, why do you need to board using the correct door on the first try? What is the worst thing that could happen if you use a door you’re not supposed to? At worst, an employee will tell you “hey, you used the wrong door, go use the other one”. And then you go to the other door. No harm, no foul.

You should really not be exposing jellyfin OR plex to the open Internet. It’s just asking for trouble.

That sounds like it was a DVD image that was mostly empty space, so any compression tool would have been able to save space. But yes, 7z is still impressive.

Well, except for all the Switch 2 exclusives like Mario Kart World and the new Kirby Air Ride.

Although, to be fair, there are still a good number of first-party games still releasing on both systems.

I also vouch for GL.inet routers, they also have a 5th gigabit port that was nice to have since all 4 of the ones on my old router were full.

Could it have been the Prismatic Butterfly that spawned from the statue of blessings? You have the effect active, meaning that bufferfly was fluttering around somewhere in your world.

All we can hope for is that the AI bubble bursts very suddenly, and the manufacturers/distributors are left with a huge amount of excess stock and production capacity that will oversaturate the market.

DDR4 RAM prices did drop back down after a huge peak in 2018 caused by smartphones, although this is a much larger scale issue so who knows how it’ll play out.

“I don’t know why or how…”

Admits they have no idea what they’re talking about, and yet is so confident they’re correct. It’s fucking amazing how stupid people are.

Here’s what I would do: open it up, see if the ultrasonic transducer has a part number written on it. If it does, Google it and see if you can easily buy a replacement for a reasonable amount. If it’s not too expensive, I’d say it’s worth a shot.

Otherwise, yeah it probably isn’t worth putting any more effort into fixing.

How would a single senator repeal a bill?

Not really. Android lacks a comprehensive full-system backup option like iOS has. It’s one of my biggest gripes about the OS. Best you can do is a cloud backup, which only saves certain apps’ data like games.
