I hate this timeline. We are forced to drive next to these death machines and the corporations that own them take zero accountability and just bribe the president for more welfare and to not ever investigate them.

Our whole country is bought and paid for by evil billionaires who dont care if we live or die.

My crown Victoria. I’ve had it for 15 years and do all the repairs on it myself. Sometimes it’s difficult to get to a part cause of a stupid design, but I usually win in the end.

If jellyfin was easier to use and had the same options as Plex, id switch over. But I’ll keep my Plex lifetime pass as long as I can until they make all lifetime passes null in the next 2 years and make us all pay monthly.

Everytime my windows work computer updates, something breaks. Now my mouse doesn’t work well and I’m so tired of dealing with it. IT has had enough of these stupid tickets for why something doesn’t work and why we need admin permissions to fix it.

Crucial is the only good brand I can afford. This sucks ass and I HATE AI. I hope AI companies lose all their money and go bankrupt.

AI is destroying so many awesome things, all for profit.

She is a nobody now and wants to be in the headlines somehow.

Just ignore her.

It’s really easy. I had no microsoldering skills before, but Ive soldered many other parts so I have experience. I’ve modded 6 Xboxes for friends and family and now I can do one in about 30 minutes including flashing the NAND.

Many people are going the bad update route where you must softmod the Xbox Everytime you turn it on. Sometimes it takes 20 seconds, sometimes you have to try 10 or 15 times to get the mod to work. The people behind bad update are working on it constantly, so who knows, they may find a way to make it boot instantly 100% of the time.

But for now hard modding and soldering are the best permanent ways to mod the Phat and Slim models of the Xbox 360.

I just modded mine after not playing it for years. I forgot just how insane the library is for it and how great the graphics hold up in 2025.

Its also so nice to actually own games and not have them taken away from some license BS.

It’s not true if you live in a deep red state. They treat politics like football teams and REFUSE to ever change parties because their whole family tree has voted red, so they won’t change it.

Also most pastors here are hard MAGA and think gay people are going to murder them at every chance, so they spread constant propaganda to the members, so they all vote red as well.

It’s a well thought out propaganda train to take advantage of the fact 90% of these people have a 5th grade education and at least 3-4 children.

Been on a bike boycott since their last racist stunt over a decade ago.

Shit, I figured this out 20 years ago. Where has everyone else been?

Lucky for them, I won’t buy any new games. Too many fantastic older games to play that they didn’t cheat and cut corners to produce.

They keep updating my windows 10 computers at work and the one I have at home. None of my Microsoft apps work, I can’t install paint, or photos or the Microsoft store. My personal computer freezes as soon as I open windows explorer. This just started after the last update.

I already have a Linux server downstairs and this week converted me windows 10 pc to endeavor OS. It’s lightning fast and easy to use if you already know the problems with Linux.

Can’t wait for the AI bubble to burst and we can all buy RAM at auction for $2 plus a 28% buyers premium.

I was just thinking about this yesterday. AI has not helped me in any way shape or form. I don’t need it, i don’t want it, and it should NOT be forced onto people.

I grew up teaching myself how to research and use Ask Jeeves, Yahoo!, AOL, and now Google, Duck Duck Go. I don’t need a dumb AI to tell me what i can find myself.

The mounting point changes. So it may be sd1, then disconnect and show up as sb1 and then i tried to permanently mount through fstab, but still didn’t work. Connection setup? Not sure what you mean by that, but computer is hardwired to the network, external drive was connected via USB 3.0 in several different ports to see if it was a motherboard issue. I am on Cinnamon Mint 22 and i believe kernel 6.14.

I’ think this will be my best bet going forward. I still need to have my windows computer setup for modding, but i’d rather use linux for daily use and torrents.

Read/Write and linux will disconnect them randomly and they show up as a completely different drive. So i tried to permanently mount the UID in fstab, but still didn’t work. Most of the fixes i’ve found online don’t work for my drives.

The only thing that sucks about switching to linux is moving my external NTFS USB drives to my new linux server.

Linux HATES NTFS, hates usb drivers, and hates external drives that aren’t formatted to ext4. fstab doesn’t work for my WD Elements, so i just gave up and shucked the drive and put it inside.

I can’t fit 5 3.5" hard drives in my SFF dell 3070, so i’m stuck on windows right now, but they keep doing random updates the last few weeks and my windows explorer freezes constantly and my computer barely works. So i’m going to have to switch to linux and possibly reformat all 36TB’s to ext4. Not excited about that at all.

So either reformat all my external drives, buy a very expensive NAS with an external SATA port and hope my motherboard recognizes them.

Leaving reddit has helped me substantially. That website is full of bots and trolls. The admins are power hungry and really angry for some reason.

I started reading again, doing more art and not doomscrolling as much. I could waste 3 or 4 hours easily scrolling through the reddit shithole and learn nothing.

I do miss the modding subreddits and the mechanics subreddits cause i like working on stuff and most of the post here are program/linux based. But as time goes on, this site will get better with more people and posts.
