The breakages happen a year apart when the summer heat gets bad, if we were going to replace a lot of components at once, at that point we could have just got a new system entirely as this one is really old

We don’t replace the whole thing, only the part that broke, and again, this system is 20+ years old

My 20 year old AC breaks once a year, at this point it’s the ship of theseus. One year it’s the capacitor on condensor, then condensor fan motor, then fan motor that circulates air instead, then circuit board that controls all HVAC functions, then capacitor for circulation fan. Every year, when the heat hits strong, something breaks, I have become proficient in diagnosting HVAC system at this point.

Yeah pacman is a fun game and the wiki for it is great /s

I believe all messaging apps need a note to self option, make it be possible to enable from settings. I keep wanting to tell people to use note to self instead of randomly sending me stuff, but then I remember it’s a signal only thing.

I can only read it from a distance, but being bilingual doesn’t help either

Not sure why I laughed so hard when I read “kith”, I get it but don’t see why it’s so funny to me, yet my body felt like it was what it had to do

I’m not really a designer, and even if you don’t care about icon, I think it still needs to be good, here is a website someone can use to make a pretty good and simple app icon and export it to all the platforms they need as it automatically makes it the correct size and file name that you extract and add to project: https://icon.kitchen/

2, mostly because I got poison ivy all over my body and I want to itch so bad, everything is only temporary relief.

I heard they are adding a desktop mode to android 16, curious if it would be possible to use phone and have a similar experience to an actual PC by connecting monitor and mouse/keyboard, well just using a browser, at the very least.

EDIT: found it

Future updates will also bring even more productivity enhancements to Android, allowing you to connect tablets and phones to an external display for an expanded desktop experience

Gotta account for timezones as well /s

Those windows ram requirements are only to boot into the system, no way 2gb or 4gb enough for normal use

I’m more of a Real Engineering and Mustard kinda guy

Those are some weird bananas

You learn to use the same operating system in school/work and never want to try anything different.

Change scares many older folk, young kids don’t like linux cuz they can’t play roblox

Depends if you want the things you learn to help you in future career paths, I chose to learn flutter because I wanted an app cross platform on all devices and not just ios, android and web which is what react native offered (plus no good full storage access of device, cuz damit I had visions), but it’s difficult to find a position as Flutter Dev without at least 5 years of experience.

MicroG?

I still need it for 2 games I like to play on my phone, maybe other things too, it was only recently that I started slowly moving away from being dependent on google

Honestly, even if you need some Google services, just get things like gapp (or whatever its called, forgot) and you are good to go.

I want to try GrapheneOS, but no one I know owns any old (or new) pixel device and compiling and running as emulator (like for developing purposes) requires like 500gb of storage on PC for it.

PostMarketOS sounded fun but I couldn’t get waydroid to start without crashing
