  • Hey, guys. Is it a good idea to dunk PC parts in isopropyl alcohol?

    Jump

  • IPA is either isopropyl alcohol or India pale ale. Best to be sure of which alcohol-relevant situation you are in before deciding which to apply.

  • When I used to do computer repair for work I had a hard limit against working on stuff from a smoker's household or office. Not only am I too asthmatic to enjoy spending time in such a place, but the thick sticky crud in every nook and cranny of the machine made any hardware job far more trouble than it was worth to me.

    I'm still willing to occasionally be the "computer guy" for certain friends and family, but smokers can figure something else out because I'm not touching it. (And yes, weed smoke counts.)

  • An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Or, they could have reached out to indie bands in their genre of choice. I've no doubt there are tons of small bands out there who would love having their work used in the Olympics, it'd be one of the rare "do it free/cheap for the exposure" deals that might be actually worth it.

    But that'd take a little bit more work than jerking off the theft slop machine, so fuck it, right? /s

  • This whistle fights fascists | How thousands of 3D-printed whistles are derailing ICE.

    Jump

  • Whatever people in power try to stir up about this, it's literally impossible to legislate and block shapes from being 3D-printed. Any attempts to do so are a fool's errand, and/or just being used to justify misguided (and doomed) attempts to lock down 3DP technology for other reasons (read DRM/copyright forces in big business.) Blocking parts that might be for a gun from being printed simply cannot be done.

  • The long-term effects of a pocket-sand attack have not been studied enough.

  • Unexpected dedication (and yes, it is filled with boobs)

    Jump

  • I think that means someone else has it borrowed, and you'll have to wait until they... finish.

  • Did you all know these things can be pickled???

    Jump

  • I don't like pickled wooden boards.

  • You can remap that key on a hardware level with a little flathead screwdriver. 🪛 🗑️

  • YSK that radishes are fucking amazing. They contain vitamin C, improve blood pressure, and are full of Sulforaphene, a powerful anti-cancer substance. Radishes contain almost no calories

  • Great they may be, but sneaking into the Gorgs' garden to retrieve them is such a hassle.

  • Are we done with business cards?

    Jump

  • What if there's a QR code on the card? Then it's basically the same amount of work as getting that NFC tap.

  • Are we done with business cards?

    Jump

  • I feel like a business card is something physical to hand people so they have it to look back at later. If you're just looking to NFC tap your contact info onto people's phones, why wouldn't you just use your own phone to do it?

    This reminds me of something tangentially related. Sometime around the turn of the century I worked at a small business where some vendor came in to solicit interest in his business' services, and left a working CD-ROM business card. That mildly impressed the manager because CD-ROMs were still pretty fancy and nobody there had seen a business card like that before, and when run the card had some simple Flash-like slideshow thing with a little video clip or two about their business (which was still impressive when you couldn't really have embedded video clips on your average dialup-friendly website.) Around a week later that same vendor returned asking for the card back because "they're pretty expensive to make and I want to give it to my next prospect," and the manager's impression of him went from mildly impressed to thinking this guy was too hilariously amateurish to bother engaging with.
