Ah, so cute. Here’s what you need to do: Find what you like to do, then pick a realistic career path that you think you could do and do that instead. I highly recommend picking a career that lets you work from home. That way, you can skip the commute, do your laundry, and face existential dread at the same time; it’s better for the environment 👍

Comfort and happiness are what happens after work. You have to work to attain it! It’s the capitalist dream.

That is a six-pin flex PCB connector. Nothing more. Nothing less.

What did it connect? Dunno. It could connect any number of things that needed six pins for communication.

My wild guess: A floppy drive motor.

Try the chips.

I’m pining for an answer to this question myself.

One point three two emm bee 😁

Looks funny with a green hose and a yellow nozzle but a lot of bidet tools are just a spray nozzle on a (usually white-ish) hose. The nozzle is more of the kitchen sink variety but it’s really not that different.

The real problem with this setup is the hose and nozzle are under the seat! No reason for that… Just keep it off to the side.

TL;DR: This setup will work fine. Maybe use a light touch on that handle though 😉

I hate to break this to you but that means you’re not normal. If all you ever do in chat is talk about serious things that are of such earth-shattering importance that it would be incredibly rude and obnoxious for someone to post a silent looping video you’re not normal, and no fun at all.

The way Element currently works, it’s made for people like you… A strange minority that probably only thinks about “chat” in terms of communicating for an end goal and not for the pleasure of conversation.

There’s a fine line between “artisanal” and “insanity”. Post the end result when you’re done so we can judge for ourselves 😁👍

I meant it as: You can be a man baby and still be correct. The two are not mutually exclusive.

…but don’t let me stop you from overreacting to random, silly comments said in jest like a man baby 👍

Yeah it’s probably just a client side issue but the OP mentioned Element, specifically 🤷

I just wanted to point out that Element is no fun! No fun at all!

It works and it works great for what it does. Even voice and streaming are great with Element. It’s just got a terrible, no-fun interface and pointless limitations on things like looping videos. You can’t even configure it to make them play properly (as in, automatic and endlessly, the way they were meant to be played! 😤).

Looping videos and animated emojis are super fun ways to chat with people. Even in professional settings! It really breaks up the humdrum and can motivate people to chat and share more.

Element is all serious all the time and going into a chat channel there feels like a chore.

To be fair, both you and your friend can be correct 🤷

Element needs to be better. Discord is awesome with the way it auto-plays looping videos/gifs and has animated emojis.

Seriously: That’s all they’d need to do. The element devs need to focus on fun.

For a history of Dumb Restrictions on Media (aka DRM):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management

This fight goes way, way back. Microsoft worked with the media industry in the early 2000s to create a fully-encrypted media input/output pipeline for PCs in order to combat Linux adoption. Microsoft knew that it would be impossible for open source software to decrypt the media streams without making the encryption keys available so they went way out of their way to make sure things like HDCP would “protect” the media being played back on a PC from “illegal” copying.

It starts with the TPM module in your motherboard/processor and continues outward all the way though to your HDMI monitor (which has to have the hardware keys necessary to decrypt the content).

BTW: The keys for HDMI HDCP have long since been leaked so you can now cheaply and easily buy all sorts of HDMI capture devices on the cheap from places like AliExpress (they don’t ask any questions). Get one of those and your PC won’t even know that you’re capturing screenshots.

I think it’s part of a, “stabilizer diet”

I highly recommend not eating your keyboard. The most commonly-used macros probably taste like finger cheese.

Forget small phones… I want bigger phones! Why do we keep making phones that appear to be made to appease people with small pockets‽

Bigger screens are better! Give me a great big tri-fold phone with a week-long battery (as long as it’s under 10lbs it won’t be a problem!). Actually, fuck that: Where are our backpack phones? We used to have them in WW2 and now we have the technology to make them even better!

I want the power to unfurl my monster phone to turn it into a portable 3-monitor gaming rig. Make it run regular Linux too so I can actually automate things and decide where I want to store my stuff (not in Google or Apple’s clouds!).

It’s a lot simpler than that: Texas has a HUGE oil and natural gas industry lobby that views wind and solar as existential threats.

Oil & gas is mostly consolidated and lobbies under just a few really powerful firms. Wind and solar don’t have a lobbying arm with that kind of power. It’s too dispersed with too many disperate entities that don’t view themselves as being on the same team.

It’s just another way that money in politics corrupts everything. Even though there’s more players in the solar and wind markets the oil & gas industry has a lot more money to throw around at lobbying.

Go with a Nintendo Switch controller that works with PC like:

There’s dozens and dozens of them and I’ve never had a problem with any of them. They all seem to just “magically work”.
