  • Ah shit.

    Thanks for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated as those things are expensive.

    I guess we are fucked until the EU make a new pro-consumer law. But that would take years (if they ever make it).

    Another possibility would be to use a projector (it is only for homelab NAS movies afterall). I have a xgimi in my bedroom and it is somewhat great once connected to the free AppleTV my ISP gave me. Otherwise the default google tv OS on it is pure shit.


  • Ah! I was reading that post yesterday https://lemmy.world/post/22309068 as I am looking for a 55’ 4K oled dumb display.

    So far no joy.

    Apparently some manufacturers makes internet mandatory at first boot and even if you block or disconnect it later it will nag you for firmware update every now and then.

    The only possibility I have found for an EU customer at the moment is Sony Bravia. Yup Sony sucks but apparently Bravia’s let you choose to refuse the terms of service and not use the smart things, thus making them dumb tv.

    But maybe I’m wrong, maybe it’s not the case anymore or maybe they will decide to change that.

    That sucks, if any of you knows about a commercial display/computer monitor/dumb tv in oled 4K hdr 55’ available in Europe, I might fall a little bit in love with you.

    I can feel it. Last time I was in Manhattan I hated it, why are buildings so huge that you can’t see the sky or feel the sun? I had to pay for fancy expensive rooftop bars to be able to breath a little.

    But maybe I don’t get it cause I’m an Europoor.

    Thanks for the shitty photo OP!



  • Standard procedure is max FL100 or 10 000 ft.

    But if you are flying over mountains (FL180 for the Alps highest safe flight level) you are fucked.

    Well no, there are oxygen masks and the pilots will immediately put them on and then dive toward a safer altitude at a controlled but fast rate of descent (more eardrums bursts) as well as clearing the high terrain area ASAP.

    Airbus Procedure is basically “Pull everything on the MCP !”:

    • masks on for both pilots,
    • checks interphone com with your Captain/FO.
    • On the MCP, autopilot set altitude to max FL100 or below (above if mountains), pull for open descent,
    • pull for HDG and go off track (outside the airway to avoid collisions).
    • Pull for max Speed or appropriate (not in managed mode anymore, this will change your rate of descent).
    • Speedbrakes max.
    • Transponder 7700
    • Then you can call Mayday on radio.
    • You also check that the masks had been automatically lowered in the cabin at that point.

    And A320 should descent at around 7000ft per minute. At that rate you start to feel that the ground is getting perpendicular to you on the window. Could be more or less, it’s the pilot choice and how much he is willing to stress an airframe that just had an explosive decompression.

    Rapid decompressions are very rare events tho. Except maybe on 737 max.

    I just have my vault default location saved on a cloud drive. iCloud in my case as I have an IPhone but I guess it could be done with any cloud or owncloud if you have a server.

    I used to use Git, but it is easier to just move the vault on a network/cloud drive as you don’t need to pull/push. As obsidian auto save when you type a character this makes the sync instantaneous with zero effort.




  • It is, but not when they try to “educate” everyone around them at every breath they take, every text message and every conversation.

    It ended up with everyone saying “dude stop, we don’t care at all” and him apologizing then saying “ok sorry, my mistake, I explained it wrong that’s why you didn’t understand”.

    Again and again and again. It is a disease that needs medical treatment (psychiatric, the same as people leaving cults) and the way he described it fits the description. He said that he “fell in it” (tomber dedans in French, as in falling in a pit) by being bored at work and watching too many YouTube videos to pass time.

    We tried to help, but after 2 years we were exhausted. Dude doesn’t want to be helped and we are not medical professionals.

    Last news was that he now hangs with another former friend from school that also refused to change and get help, the only cocaine addict of our small town. To the village they are known as the crazy guys sitting on a park bench all day and feeding each other craziness. To them they are probably the only two enlightened dudes and everybody else is too dumb and needs to be awoken.
