Repeating sounds with the wrong periodicity. Some songs I cannot stand because the beat is a fraction too slow, making my brain go into “GET OVER WITH IT ALREADY” mode. It’s particularly grating with songs that have a “wwwWUB wwwWUB” thing that sounds like someone is turning the volume knob up and down.

“It is [verb]ing” (as in “it is raining”) can be reinterpreted as “[noun] is happening” (“rain is happening”).

Six String Samurai. It’s not good. But it’s soooo quotable!

Nice shoes. Nice shoes to DIE in!

Russian guards, watching a shed drive down the road: “Must have been the wind.”

So I just eat black coffee and move on.

Great, now I have this mental image of you waking up late, going “NO TIME TO WAIT FOR THE KETTLE!” and just eating spoonfuls of instant coffee straight from the jar before running out of the house.

Knocking is usually reads (from the header seeking), brrr is heavy writes.

I hope you’re planning to delegate the verification to a KYC service…

Open a picture on your cell phone. Any portrait picture. Now look at it. Do your eyes focus on the whole picture? No, you focus on a portion of it at a time. It doesn’t matter that the orientation is vertical, the frame of your focus is the same no matter what you look at.

They’re a forum where members participate in group trolling, stalking, doxxing, and harassment of their targets.

Are you on a convertible laptop? Is Fedora perhaps thinking you’re on keyboard-less mode? Is there an OSD keyboard enabled that may be overriding your input?

“We are afraid”, they say while wiping their tears away with $100 bills.

Unless the bad guys got to time travel first… then every timeline becomes the bad timeline.

I’ve always experienced the opposite - native English speakers are horrible at spelling because they don’t have to put any effort into comprehending the language, vs non-native speakers who frequently have to take ESL tests for either academia, work, or immigration, and therefore had more exposure to spelling practice.

Most scroll wheels use an optical sensor inside the housing to monitor the motion of the wheel. If you got paint inside the housing then it can confuse the sensor.

Question: did you take off the top of the mouse to paint it, or at least tape off any areas that needed to be protected like the scroll wheel and the bottom sensor?

I remember that post from slazer2au… https://lemmy.world/post/19338754

When we talk about 2.4, 5, or 6 GHz the devices don’t operate at exactly that frequency, but within a band more or less on that number. For example 5 GHz is actually a set of channels between 5150 and 5895 MHz.

Why isn’t there a 3Ghz, 3.5Ghz, 4Ghz, etc?

Technically there’s 802.11y (3.65 GHz), 802.11j (4.9-5.0 GHz), etc. It’s just that several of these bands cannot be used universally across the globe, because they may be reserved for other purposes. By and the bands that end up being used are ones that don’t require licensing to operate.

It’s not even his inventions. Like a modern day Edison, he just takes credit for other people’s work.

The prompt says “can boot”, not “is usable with”. If it gets to the kernel and then hangs that still counts.

They’re basically modern privateers - acting on behest of their leader nations, but with public deniability. Every once in a while I wonder what it would take for a Nemo-type character to show up, commandeer a submarine, and start stalking/hunting them.
