The inverse of this is bad too. When they put tips and tricks or worse, critical information, in the loading screen and it just flickers by. I’ve had to google things more than once and people are like…didn’t you read it on the load screen? Well no, cause I can’t read 2-3 sentences in the 0.2 seconds it was on screen.

The nvme drives are plenty quick. Especially if all the games you play are 5-10 years old…

There was a point when everything I owned were manuals. Went to visit my parents and had to drive one of their cars. Got in and went to start it and thud! I instinctively went for the clutch and brake. Right foot found the brake and my left foot found the floor.

I’ve taught a half dozen or so people to drive manuals. Each one did something I’d not have expected. My favorite was the person who pushed the clutch down only as far as they pressed the brake when coming to a stop. Of course the car died. Once we could break that habit they did alright.

I pretty much just start with having them stall the car to prove the world doesn’t end…it’s fine. It’s gonna happen a dozen or so more times. Let’s move on.

That’s basically what they did for Legend of Zelda:Twilight princess. GameCube version Link was left handed, Wii version he was right handed. Looking at game guide sites was kind of comical. They basically said we’re not rewriting our guide for Wii…just flip the directions. If the guide says go left…go right for Wii.

I’m kind of surprised he made absolutely no mention of manual gearbox vehicles. Some of the problems he’s describing predate EVs and adaptive cruise. I have a manual car and motorcycle. I pretty regularly apply just enough to the brakes to turn the light on without engaging them during engine braking. Engine braking depending on gear choice can be pretty strong. Likely not as aggressive as a regenerative braking system but more than enough to cause issues. I’m certain I’d have been rear ended if I didn’t make the lights turn on while just slowing down, not coming to a full stop.

Watched a Tesla do weird things at this intersection because the lines are painted erroneously. It stopped way back from where a sane person would in the left turn lane. I can only presume it was because the car in the center had their tires ‘over the line’ even though it’s a messed up line. There is plenty of room but it got confused and just stopped like the full ~3 car lengths back from the light where the road is narrower because of the messed up line.

For anyone that wants to know why it smells like that upon first opening…it’s Modified Atmosphere Packaging. Depending on what’s being packed they push different gas mixtures into the package to make it last longer. Which is part of the reason the expiration dates are months out or 5 days after opening.

I don’t think there is a single fix for this. My diet is pretty carb heavy and I forget meals all the time. You just get focused on something and it’s…why am I lightheaded?…oh yeah. Food in the last 12 hours might have been nice.

Background…it’s not just me but our genetics are bonkers. There are four other people in my family 35-75 years old and 5.5-6ft tall. Not a single one of us is over 130 pounds. We all struggle to gain weight. Doesn’t matter what we eat…good food or absolute garbage. Absolute garbage has other consequences…like also feeling like garbage but weight gain isn’t one of them. Cravings for anything are rare…drove my college roommate nuts that I could have candy around for like 6+ months.

I’m not a fan but TSA just cut the locks off previously. Then you’re out the cost of a lock and your bag is open to anybody even without a key. I still use a TSA approved lock but it also has a little indicator on it that turns red if it’s been opened with the TSA key. So at least I know.

Most luggage isn’t even remotely secure anyway unless you travel with hard cases with latches. The zippers on most bags you can separate with a ball point pen in seconds. Then just grab the zipper and pull it to the other side and it’s sealed again.

With a fresh install of Plex you can still connect to it remotely…with no ports open. It will use Plex’s relay service to make the connection. That has limited bandwidth so it’s rarely anybody’s long term choice but it works right out of the box.

If you do choose to open a port then Plex partnered with Let’s Encrypt and Digicert to setup and maintain all the certs for you. So at least your connections are encrypted provided you use one of the many apps that support secure connections.

Is that the most secure way to run Plex? No. But it’s a couple steps in the right direction for basically zero effort on the server admin and users part.

You might not like the centralized auth of Plex but I don’t have to manage user accounts/passwords for people and deal with distributing them. Just send an invite to their email, they set it all up, and I never need to know about it. They forgot a password?…I never need to know about it.

Had to do this on a buddies Harley… Tried the ‘cut a slot’ method for a flathead too…broke the screw head in half trying to take it out. Drilled it out, head popped off, and was able to take the shaft out by hand. Those screws are made of play-doh…not metal.

First oil change on a new to him bike but some numbnuts but the crank case cover bolts in like a gorilla…torque spec is 7 ft-lbs(9.5 Nm). That’s like a quarter turn past finger tight. It just needs to compress the seal so oil doesn’t spill out.

Sharing it with people outside your house. Added hardships if behind CGNAT.

I’ll edit this…sharing it securely outside of your house. Just port forwarding to the box and saying have at it isn’t really a great idea.

I’d vote for Vegeta’s marriage and the treatment of his son on multiple occasions.

Every good thing MS has they suck at marketing. The Zune was a hardware mp3 player, a music app, and a music store/subscription. I don’t see why anybody couldn’t figure out what it was…

They’ll always wait for me to respond before telling me whatever issue they’re having….Just out with it in the first message.

I’m backing up my physical media so I pretty regularly move hundreds of GB around. That would take forever on a 1G network.

I also take a ton of GoPro video(skydiving/motorcycle). An hour of 360 footage is ~50GB. So just moving that around is cumbersome.

I have a 5G fiber connection and even my wireless access point(AP) is 10G. Sure, you can’t get that to a single device(WiFi) but my phone connects at 2.4G up/down. So ~3 modern phones downloading games or whatever has the possibility to saturate my internet connection. They could saturate the AP by downloading media from my backups for offline playback for a flight or whatever.

But if you stick all of your files into OneDrive and turn on version history you can keep trying… /s

Somebody gave me this clock…I just need the time.
