Posts must match the context of the community.

Like no topless posts wearing underpants in a pussy community for example.

Haven’t seen it get out of control here yet, but it’s madly out of control at Reddit with mods actively not caring about it.

Why have categories if posters are going to ignore them.

From Chinese parts

That’s what anti islanding is.

Prevents power from going into the grid when it’s down.

Way I read it is it puts surplus into the grid to keep you elec bills down.

800 watts isn’t exactly going to set an outlet on fire.

2 is fine.

I know where you’re coming from, I use a closed notebook with external display sometimes.

I might need to be more specific. If the notebook is used as a typical notebook, and one closes it with the intent of putting it to sleep, once sleep has been reached an external mouse should not wake it.

However if you do toggle the power settings to allow the machine to function with the lid closed and/or machine docked then you do want to mouse to wake it keep awake the machine.

This used to be so much easier back in win 95,98,xp days.

There was a startup folder in the start menu and all you needed to do was drag what you wanted into it.

This is an example of something that got harder.

Had this issue for years over 2 machines.

One had some shit in the background the prevented standby.

Other was so simple it pissed me off… … the damn mouse jostling around in the laptop bag was walking it up.

I’m still going to point the finger at windows because 1) there should be a better tool for identifying what is keeping a system awake and 2) should be default for a mouse to not wake a portable machine who’s lid is shut.

If it has anti islanding at least it’s unlikely to be a shock hazard.

That said are there any other concerns I’m missing?

I’m a few years younger, and have also started down the road to be assessed.

Your post resonated strongly with me. Just normal life feels harder than things should be, but the Aussie attitude for blokes is “she’ll be right mate, stop being lazy and don’t be such a pansy”

I fight really fucking hard to try to keep my shit together and be ‘normal’ and I’m tired.

At this point I’ll take any help I can get.

Cheap shitty knockoff reboots of a product are not newsworthy or even post worthy.

Is my opinion unpopular?

This YouTube short I stumbled upon a while ago pretty much covers it… https://youtube.com/shorts/haOm9TY90uY?si=rOnOKRMHPQslVn5e

Shit yeah. Big boobs are ok to look at but those small super subtle precision curves… I just want to explore them, see where they lead on all sides. Kinda hard to explain but small is soooo much better.

I’m with the others recommending Brother. They aren’t perfect, but they’re the least bad.

Running about a 10 year old MFC 9349 CDW here, only changed the black toner so far. Used a cartridge reset truck I found on YouTube to get more life out of the original black before that.

Scans to network nicely, does 2 sided prints etc.

Go for a Brother.

Great… And and will this abundance be shared or hoarded for profit like everything else that is abundant already is?

I don’t think planned obsolescence has a time line.

It’s more to do with the manufacturer making a decision to pull support.

Windows 11 is pulling the same stunt.

Linux distros however have no such problem.

Apple should have more than just an arbitrary reason to drop support.

All of this skills the point. This is a second drive that failed, it was the replacement for an earlier drive that failed.

That’s what the article is all about.

A high, unexpected and unreasonable failure rate.

My pending or existing projects.

A software defined radio server. Lives up top of an antenna mast running off PoE with an RTL tuner connected.

ADSB receiver, similar to above, but on a fixed frequency.

The above 2 could be virtualised in theory, but there is an advantage in having the cable to the antenna short and thus the sbcs live up antenna masts in an enclosure.

MMDVM hotspot for ham radio (this might not count as it HAS TO use the gpio pins on the pi, this can’t be visualised even with a USB port passed through.

As an audio server that would bitstream 24bit/96kHz to an amp.

This I’m totaly fine with. I hate being advertised to… really really hate it… … but if i see something i like and there is a subtle link in the message or a comment by OP that is totally fine.

Back when amateur content was popular on reddit it actually went well… I actually think the prominence of OF posters has put off the original amateurs.

I think if it’s done well both can co-exist with care and attention to rules. A pro OF community can permit OF advertisers if they want. But while having overt OF spam might add content, it will at the same time drive viewers away.

Also suggesting people that don’t want to be advertised to are anti sex work is stupid, and the few fools who have said as much are really just stupid.

I don’t like ads, any ads, and yet i still support businesses that advertise.

I have no issue with OF, but i don’t want to be overtly advertised to.

If i find myself in a /c where OF spam is out of control and the mods don’t wish to do anything about it then I’ll just move on.

Many NSFW Reddit subs turned to rubbish when OF users spammed the hell out of hundreds of subs, when where there content was not a match for the sub. If this happens here then it will suck as well.

I’m happy for OF users to post content appropriate to the /c they post in and include a link to their OF in the body or in a following message. But having a pair of tits posted in an anal /c along with 50 other /c’s with “My only fans 50% off right now” as the title… thats spam, clear as day, and it has no place.

And for those saying its content, there is no need to grow for the sake of growth, let’s rather grow naturally and at a steady pace and maintain some quality.

Yeah… Noticed that. I don’t like it, but that said won’t it be up to the users to see what survives and takes root?

I’d rather they didn’t exist, but at the same time the freedom of this kind of platform might be compromised if mods just start shutting down communities as they see fit.

I’m split 50/50 on this.
