Who cares? If your upvote or downvote or any other activity you deliberately perform on a public platform is something you’re embarrassed about and wouldn’t be willing to do in a face to face engagement you probably shouldn’t be doing it.

I’m here too - better make it a bakers dozen 😎

Dunno man, but if you find out let me know cause every time I see this bad boy I’m giggling like a schoolgirl no matter the situation

Many years ago I did post mix installs. Because we were subcontract, it was not unusual to install a system for one company, then replace it under the banner of another company, and then rip that out and install another system on behalf of the first company again.

I can think of at least 3 different venues in our CBD that I swapped like that.

What it did was make me real good at ensuring anything I installed was easy to follow and work with afterwards… Cause it was probably going to be me again lol

1Password is the only one I found that I can share with the family, syncs changes practically instantly, and actually detects login fields on every platform I use it on (Android, Windows, Linux).

No wonder they don’t sell it anywhere else - wouldn’t meet local safety requirements.

I liked a recent BYD Shark teardown video by some American mob… Their biggest complaint was that it was “overbuilt” lol

Fire up them tariffs lads, protectionism is the only thing ensuring sales.

I mean it’s not really… Once bitten, twice shy. After 20 years of being bitten I’m pretty much amaxophobic towards the brand.

They’ve sucked for the last 20 years, why would the next 20 be any different?

American cars are so bad. We did ~3000k of driving last year in the US and noticed that most of the cars on the road were new. Didn’t take long to realise why - between terrible driving standards causing them to crash regularly, terrible build quality causing the interior to fall apart, and needing to drive EVERYWHERE so you flog the thing out in about 12 months vehicles are practically disposable.

There were late model cars still rocking the flashing brake light as an indicator wtf lol

That’s some vintage memeing

Here’s what my feed currently looks like:

I don’t know about propoganda from a political point of view, but the amount of casual animal cruelty on the platform is enough for me to leave it with a worse opinion of the country than I originally had.

Do you know how to tell if someone isn’t on Facebook?

I’m so glad I work in an industry where I can get away with using Libre Office.

Totally agree.

I don’t even bother clicking on video links on random instances. Most are broken, and the rest are incredibly slow.

Why do Shorts even exist? They’re just videos that are worse (no time bar, cropped to portrait, description and comments etc are even harder to read)

If she only uses the browser and texting, whats to learn that’s different?

I actually push my family members to buy Apple products because then I dont have to provide tech support but tbh if their usage is just tapping on like 3 different icons, there’s really no difference between the two from a UI point of view. And a mid-range Android phone that allows you to tape those 3 icons is probably 1/5th the cost of an iPhone.

99/2000ish i suspect? It was an Optus@Home cable connection when “netstats” was still used. It was sold as an “unlimited” plan, but really it was 10x the average download of your node.

For us, it really was unlimited because we were the only people on our node for ages. As more people connected, we started hitting the limit pretty regular.

You could also spy on your net neighbours usage because the cable modem logging (available via telnet and a default username and password) showed every connection on your node. Not sure of the technical side of this - I think because cable was in a daisy chain from node to properties and back?

Because we were early adopters, sending +++ATH0 in ping packets was super effective too heh.

… to Android

God I loved that book series.

God I hated that TV series.
