It’s for the “AI” no one was asking for in the first place

I feel like I saw one once that was playing “The Elephant Never Forgets”, used as the theme song on the Mexican TV comedy El Chavo del Ocho

They discontinued the Choco Taco?! Those were great! I knew I’d had a hard time finding it lately but that was my go-to from an ice cream truck!

Put a fat like mayonnaise or butter on the bottom bun to protect it from moisture. Lettuce doesn’t belong on burgers; it will either wilt from the heat or cool the burger.

I think there’s a second patty under the cheese

Like back when they sold Time Capsules as a home backup solution? I could sort of see that happening. You can already backup the phones to a Macintosh. I don’t think that would stop the UK government demanding a backdoor to the product, though.

I think I’m starting to recognize that link

To me a physical keyboard feels much better than tapping away on a glass screen. Swiping keyboards are better than tapping, but I still preferred the tactile feel of physical. I’m probably faster with a swipe keyboard, but I could go much more by feel, not having to look at a physical keyboard.

I hate tapping away on the glass but swiping works okay, until the phone decides a word couldn’t possibly be what you’re trying for. My most recent frustration was New Zealand, which of course worked fine this time.

Generally mounting it behind the mirror or as close to that as possible is ideal so it’s not really in your field of vision, but you can still look at it without too much effort when parked. Be sure that wherever you mount it has the lens looking out through an area the windshield wipers will clear, otherwise the camera will be useless in the rain.

The ideal solution with the power cable is to hardwire it to the fuse box and tuck the cable behind your trim, but that takes effort and being confident that you can do that without damaging your trim (tools to make that easier can be purchased pretty cheap online or someplace like Harbor Freight). Sometimes cars have electricity running to the mirror for functions like auto-dimming or built-in garage door openers, and some cameras are designed to tap into that. That can be really easy and clean looking, almost stealthy. Try searching online for your car model and dashcam if you think that might be an option.

Barring that an easier, if uglier, solution is to get a bunch of adhesive cable clips and route the cable from your 12 volt outlet up your dash and around the edge of your windshield. Be sure to tuck the cable as close as possible when in the footwell so feet or bags don’t dislodge it. Sometimes the adhesive on the clips will fail and the cable will fall, though. Or if you’re really lazy like me you can swap out a shorter cable and let it dangle down vertically from the camera to the outlet. The cable is really pretty thin and I’ve never found it distracting, but it’s not for everyone.

I’ve put a couple Viofo dash cameras in family cars and overall been happy with them. Just about every camera I’ve seen records audio, but the quality can vary. The first camera I had years ago, a Z-Edge Z3, really needed to have a low cut filter on it; I think engine and road noise were reflected and amplified by the windshield so the bass frequencies kind of drowned out everything else. Probably still good enough to record an angry neighbor if they’re shouting but you might not get everything. A camera with an interior view like a taxi or ride share driver might use may have better audio, but I’ve never tried one of those.

• I’d like something I could mount to my dash

You want something that can mount on top of your dashboard, not to your windshield? Despite the name, most dashcams are designed to mount to the windshield, but in some states/jurisdictions attaching anything to the windshield is illegal (I think Virginia is like this). Looking for something designed to mount to the dash might narrow your options but also make picking one easier. I suspect the audio might also be clearer if you’re not mounting the camera directly to the windshield.

A guy I worked with went to high school with Randy Jones (the cowboy). He became the most popular person at all their class reunions.

IIRC PieFed’s method is to send the upvote using a second random username not connected to your username.

Yes, but then last year he started saying it had known vulnerabilities that weren’t being fixed, around the same time Telegram was attacking Signal’s credibility. I seem to remember him outright endorsing Telegram but have only done a quick search and that hasn’t popped up.

This is the second reference I’ve seen to this today, so I had to look it up and see that it is (was) in fact real.

I’m annoyed at the top line of the terminal showing the bottom line of the video

They say they’re going to propose some activity pub extensions to handle this. It seems to me like they should try to make this function in a way that works with how Lemmy handles cross-posts.

How could BuzzFeed be ruined when it was always bad?

He has a junk shelf instead of a junk drawer
