This is a countertop ice maker so would likely be different if yours is in your fridge.

That’s a good looking cat. Here’s to many years to come with your new fren.

Was it the lid switch? On my GF’s parent washing machine, it was the lid switch that was the issue. I ended up just jumping the connection until they got another one but it worked fine until then.

I get what you mean, its so satisfying to fix your own stuff. And not as hard as one might think depending on the project.

Ikr? I think these machines just have been lucky to not get more complex than they need to be. All the tooling for manufacturing is done and sorted and likely won’t be touched cause its easier to keep selling these things with cheap parts so they break easy. As soon as the compressor dies though, I think I’ll be done with it.

That cook top sounds like my own personal hell lol. I’d probably spend a while trying to fix it and end up buying a whole new one anyways.

Right so in that way, its very reproducible. That was my understanding and I appreciate you for the more in depth explanation but is there advantage to that versus an immutable distro? Wouldn’t a immutable distro work in a similar way being reproducible among many machines?

Rollbacks can be done on immutable distros as well right? I’m just curious why Nix was the first choice and not something immutable.

From the article:

Its use of the Nix package manager means that each package is installed in its own directory with immutable and signed contents. That alone means that the setup is incredibly easy to reproduce across multiple machines, something that is an obvious benefit when dealing with different facets of a government.

Id argue an immutable distro would likely serve the same purpose but maybe its also because nixos isnt as “locked down” so itd be easier to configure for a specific purpose?

WHAT ARE THE CHARGES? ENJOYING A MEAL?

A SUCCULENT TUNAFISH MEAL?

I thought I heard they weren’t doing PC ports anymore and this article seems to confirm that unless something has changed since then:

https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/sony-reportedly-ends-playstation-pc-ports/

Unless they go back on that, doesnt seem they will release a PC port.

Could be that they aren’t big enough to sue them without getting buried in legal fees. Google and other big tech companies can drag this shit out if they need to.

Reading the article, seems that the AI guessed credentials and didnt do anything after gaining access so that might be hard to make a case for.

Still bad though, and these companies should be held responsible. AI isnt at the point where it is truely autonomous or has any real intelligence so to claim it “went rogue” is bullshit. It followed your shitty instructions and if those instructions caused it to do something unintentional, still your fault.

I’m 29, so not too much older than you so take all this with a grain of salt. Ive been very fortunate in my life to have good friends and family to support me and jobs up until now were not super hard to get. My life is likely very different from yours.

Enjoy the little things man. Find friends that can be family, don’t pay attention to the entire world all the time like on social media. Hell, I barely use Lemmy and completely got off other social media. Its been a good choice for me.

Find a decent job that pays the bills and figure out what you like. You dont have to figure everything out right away. Things change, you’ll change. Enjoy the ride. Thats what I’m trying to do.

Also dont quit a job before having another lined up. Its not worth it, it may feel like it is in the moment, but its not.

Now this is dull lol. This is def something I’d do too if it bothered me enough.

I hate it when stuff beeps super loud or makes noise without being able to turn it off. Its such a simple thing and it drives me nuts.

I went out of my way to find a microwave that I can turn off the beeps because it just doesnt need to beep.

I know I pressed the button. I can hear when the microwave is no longer running. Your beeps are worthless.

Haha yea me too man, this is exactly why i bought one. Being able to fairly easily replace broken or missing parts is such a joy. Getting digital calipers helped a ton with getting the dimensions right which made this go way smoother but ive printed other stuff like hexagon tiles for DND comabts, minis, a broom holder, just about anything you could want to print, someine else has made a model for.

Still a cool project though, ive never heard of it so thanks for sharing

Fair point, I guess I meant that account age is also a factor when determining whether to block someone or not or if they’re just joking or being a dick.

It factors in because if its a pattern, it makes more sense to block them. If not, maybe they had a bad day or the tone of what they meant was off.

Hell maybe I misunderstood what they meant.

Just wanted to chime in an say I appreciate your more balanced and or nuanced take on this topic.

I see a lot of hate for AI and for good reason, but it does have its use cases.

Unfortunately, like NFTs when they became popular for scams or whatever the fuck people started doing with them, it quickly became used for making garbage, scamming, and being shoved into everything companies thought it could be.

And the scale at which AI is harming our planet is too great a cost for what it does right now or even if it was amazing at what it did. Theres a lot of issues with it.

Personally, when I see someone post something that seems out of place or doesnt sound like a good faith argument, I’ll check their account to see how old the account is and what else they have posted.

To me, that does matter as it shows whether they contribute or how they contribute to Lemmy and for how long. If they make a new account and immediately start posting garbage or AI slop, I block them.

If they have opinions I disagree with but still try to make a sound argument, thats fine. I take issue with spam and people who just troll, not with people who post because they want to discuss things even if we differ in views or beliefs. I don’t want an echo chamber yknow?

Thats all just my opinion and what ive seen since joining Lemmy for the past 3 years.

There are air mice that you can buy with keyboards on it or a keyboard trackpad combo.

I use this one with my htpc: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XHF7DNQ

Hell even if you want some kind of cable service, IP TV exists.

IMO no real reason to use android TV or a smart TV right now.

Me personally, I just use a Linux distro (ive used Ubuntu and popos, both have been fine) and use whatever flavor of streaming service I can access. Sometimes you’re hit with lower resolution but I’d rather that than get spied on and be fed ads by my hardware.

Ive also gone back to physical media and use a DVD player. I’m just buying series I like one by one.

This video used a combination of physical media and streaming services. They relied on waydroid and with some workarounds, it worked well for them:
