    If they did it before they'll do it again. I don't trust it.

    Apparently we're all terrorists now, too. So that's fun.

    Windows 11

    Making it visibly unchangable without location services to normal users has to be illegal in some jurisdiction, probably Europe where they actually kind of-sort of have to give a shit about privacy sometimes. But I bet being able to Powershell it probably would keep Microsoft from being fined...

    Remember when Trump supposedly didn't know anything about that... and then proceeded to put pretty much everyone involved with it into positions of power within his government?

    Empire in Decline

    Given the flurry of activity in the nearly three months since the last post... Holy shit. Just holy shit. I thought things would get bad. This is fucking insane.

    Yeah, I don't tend to use Jellyfin for library management per se, rather I use it for an easy playback interface that isn't just loading files into VLC or whatever through the network. I find I don't trust anything but myself to do the tagging/album art fetching.

    Oh yeah, absolutely.

    Something Random

    Unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion that neither can I afford a pet (food/litter is one thing, insurance/vet visits are another) nor can I justify having one around because I live alone and I'm simply not home enough. It wouldn't be fair to them.

    Turns out the LaserJet I have did some hours -- it's from a lawyer's home office, but really all it needs is a good can of air let out inside it and a fresh set of toner cartridges. Although it did seem to clear up the yellow dots in the printout after a few test pages printed. It's from 2016...

    I got my DCP-L2640DW on sale from OfficeDepot a year or so back for what I felt was a very decent deal, around $150. The MFP model was twice as much and all it has over the DCP is a faxmodem, something that's hardly relevant to my needs. I scan (especially with the feeder) far, FAR more than I...

    I've had the Outshine raspberry bars now and I have to say I'm disappointed. The flavor is top notch but the texture is much more akin to a normal popsicle, with very little in the way of fruit bits at all. The Great Value fruit bars are creamier and softer. If Great Value picked up a raspberry...

    Here is a thread to talk about gaming

    I'm already not a fan of every storefront needing a system service and Chrome container "app" as it is, I don't want yet another launcher robbing performance. I have a perfectly serviceable launcher and it's called the start menu. :p On my Retroid I use a combination of RetroArch and...

    Better off looking at Myrient these days. Vimm bent the knee to DMCA. Most Nintendo titles aren't downloadable there anymore, and a fair few PSP/PS2 games were unobtainium there as well last I tried. Gamecube, PS2 and Wii are well within the reach of most iGPs 11th gen and up, but PS3/360 are...

    UPS just found another package I'd considered permanently lost after it went radio silent for almost two weeks. If the tracking is right now, I should get it today.

    Laptop time?

    Perhaps that's the case, but we're a 365/Azure shop first and foremost and are a bit out of our element when we have to support someone who's in Google Workspace. I can and have gotten the job done, but even I'm personally not fond of the way Google tends to do things. At least I can kind-of...
