5 months agoYeah, that’s about the right time period for my old ASUS LOL. Does that advice still hold up nowadays or is it outdated? Does it apply only to older machines maybe?

Would pulling out the battery (if possible) and running the laptop only via AC be a viable way to prevent unnecessary battery wear?
I remember back when I didn’t have a desktop PC yet I had a crusty old ASUS laptop that was basically at death’s door and I specifically remember just running it on AC alone because the battery was… uh… gone
8·5 months agofor anyone interested:
the scroll not working is most likely due to the main container in the page (usually the <body> tag but it can be some other element) having the
overflow: hiddenCSS property assigned to it.overflowdictates the behavior of an element that has its content overflow past the parent element’s boundaries.the property can have four values:
visible, where the overflow is fully visible and allowed to extend past the parent element,scroll, which clips the overflowing content and allows the user to scroll the parent element,hidden, which clips the overflowing content and prevents scrolling, andauto, which works almost identically toscroll
most sites run a script that assigns this property with the value of
hiddento the <body> tag, making the user unable to scroll the page.ive seen this behavior the most with sites that blast you with an unavoidable cookie banner which you have to click through to access the page. usually removing the cookie banner element is not enough to freely access the page, and so you have to additionally find which element has its overflow set to
hiddenand disable that property.i reckon youtube’s adblocker popup is doing the same thing, and coincidentally turning off fullscreen also runs a script that makes sure the overflow is set to either
scrollorauto
3·6 months agobut I do like being able to fully collapse the stock
My stock is also foldable, actually! Emphasis on foldable, as yours looks to be actually collapsible.
If I can be a spoilsport, please, please don’t use lasers
Very, VERY valid point, and yeah, I don’t use my laser at all, really - it functions as tacticool decor more than anything else. I forgot to mention it’s a laser+flashlight module, with a function to switch on either or both, and so I always basically use the flashlight and nothing else.
I really like it, and yeah, you were close! It’s a 32mm non-illuminated scope with a 3x-9x variable zoom. And it is in fact meant for .22LR - I picked it up brand new for a measly 250 PLN (~$60)
Granted, I rarely, if ever, use the higher zooms, because neither my MP5 or my cheap sniper rifle are accurate enough to make use of that kind of magnification.
And that prism sight looks real nice! I don’t mind having a basic scope, since I’ve gotten quite decent at hip firing at close range, so I’d rather have the added power a scope like that provides.
And since you’ve shared your build, I’ll share mine, in my dingy old garage back when I was cleaning it.
That one’s without the foregrip and the laser module attached. It’s quite literally a poor man’s G3, but hey, as long as it works.
EDIT: By the way, judging by the positions and looks of all the pins and screws and some other parts, I assume that’s also a CYMA?
Kinda ashamed that I never thought about just getting scope rings! I’ll definitely look into those. Thanks for the Locktite tip!
That actually looks really close! I’ll take a better look at it when I get back home next weekend. Thanks!
While we’re talking about tower defence, I really recommend the Gemcraft series! IMO probably the best tower defence games out there. Chasing Shadows and Frostborn Wrath are both on Steam, and I highly recommend them.
can confirm that it’s a constant sine wave, at least for me.
i blew myself up by accident a month ago, and while my left ear has fully recovered my right one wasn’t so lucky. lost all hearing above like 10kHz (which isnt really noticeable, especially with my left ear still being good on frequencies), and i also now have some very minor tinnitus there. ironically if i had to guesstimate the frequency of my tinnitus it would be around 12 kHz, which is past my hearing range, though it can change briefly because of external stimuli.
1·8 months agoIf it doesn’t bother you, could you say what happened? This sounds really interesting!
1·8 months agoI think these are usually contained within most adlists for the pihole. The biggest one is incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org
8·9 months agoHey, just so you know, Mull development alongside DivestOS development has been halted indefinitely like a month or two ago.
I switched from Mull to Ironfox not too long ago. You can add their repository to your F-Droid client and get the fork and its updates from there.
god-tier post, this goes hard
1·9 months agoholy shit! how many terabytes is that?
it really does seem like it, though at least it doesn’t get worse on multi-language setups, which i thought would happen but thankfully didn’t (at least for me)
it looks really similar to that scene in the amazing world of gumball but i doubt that that’s it
Direct quote from the article:
Looks like it’s not just cooling that they’re doing there. The link in the quote leads to an article describing the data centre’s new turbines, specifically referring to them as methane gas turbines.
I skimmed that article briefly and I don’t think it points out the mechanism by which these turbines work - if it does, I must’ve missed it. I did however see a line that said the turbines also release formaldehyde during operation.
Methane in this case seems to me to either be a byproduct of power generation or unused fuel somehow leaking from the system. I have no clue how gas turbines work, so I’m talking out of my ass here. In any case this seems to be the source of the methane emissions.
