Acer travelmate 4070. Used as a control unit for a cut and bend machine. (Don’t ask me why)… Holy shit that bastard has outlived around three of the machines that began work with it.
What I’m saying is. Acer was good. But like all things enshittification ruined it.
HP though… I don’t think I’ve ever seen a good hp. Even the ancient ones. I feel like the only HP stuff that saves itself are calculators and some of the old testing equipment
The last two books i’ve read are my Aerodynamics book for an exam. And Harry Potter and the philosopher stone to help my sibling make a review for English class.
Sooo… Potter will see how his magic fares against a rocket.
Well. It couldn’t be hornets. They’re already hellspawn in of themselves
Well. Sub-zero is a range. 0K, or absolute zero, is sub 0°C. So sub zero can be equal to absolute zero in one instance of the range.
I started a game review blog here on Lemmy, but I’m having trouble finding games I want to discuss lately
Ooh I remember you! It was fun seeing people having takes on some older games I had actually played while on the train. Mainly kona and Pacific drive.
My 2¢ when you also manage to get out of this purgatory is valley, parkour/puzzle based for the sake of exploring what happened to the place. Story driven and pretty good from what I remember. I played it back when it came out.
The other one is ultrakill. Frenetic as fuck boomer shooter. Most of the fun comes with learning tricks and acing levels and challenges. Not everyone’s cup of tea. Still. Hakita’s a musician and it shows a lot. The soundtrack is great. And the game was originally made to promote an album iirc. Played before the last round of exams sucked all will from me.
anything in particular that’s also stuck in your list?
TBF it’s not that bad of an idea… The first game I’ve ever finished was Wario ware after all.
I’ll look into this.
Meanwhile I picked up Cyberpunk the first time it went on sale and have played through the tutorial like 5 times.
This hits a little closer to home than I’m willing to admit.
I genuinely haven’t touched a game in three months due to exams. I’ve just now got more free time and managed to will myself to set it up one day. And then the will died again.
Could also be me going into standby in the evening from work/classes.
Remembering long passwords. We’re talking in the 30-40 character ballpark. And I still can’t remember people’s names.
Fuck drones and UAV. grandma’s slippers could snipe you like intercontinental missiles ffs.
And then. The immediate follow up message.
hey could you come pick me up I need to go to the hospital
Willingly is a strong word. More of a “this shitbox is the only thing I know how to use well”. It’s been my first window into programming. And at the time my uncle used it for work. So he taught me how to get around the mess.
Also I’m quite sure Eclipse played a big role in why I despise Java with every atom of my being.
I’ve tired switching to VSCode. But my peewee brain doesn’t process how to use it. It tries to default to the way I use Eclipse. I’ve started managing to rattle off some programs with micro+clang. That seems to be the easiest way out for me. Considering I don’t program for a living.
I feel like an accountant refusing to let go of it’s MS-DOS based software ffs.
The anxiety of not catching the train to university did it for me. Go to sleep at midnight. Wake up at 5:30 to get ready.I manage to hold up for the five days of courses.
Saturdays though? A nuke could go off and I wouldn’t wake up.
True. But there’s also the fact that eclipse is maintained by the eclipse foundation. a not for profit, I’m not sure how it works for jetbrains’ CE versions. But I assume they’re still handled by jetbrains itself.
shouldn’t matter too much for the open source versions. But there’s my 2¢
You can’t imagine how happy am I to have never jumped the wagon. To either VSCode or to anything from JetBrains. Began using eclipse on my uncle’s computer back in ~2010. And just never left.
It followed me through c++, java for uni classes and Python. It followed me when I switched to Linux. I’ll bring it to my grave if it keeps going.
Is it the best? Nope. But it’s fucked up consistently enough for me to get used to it well enough.
And if you lack the screwdriver. So long as the head is not the flat style and you have room. Angle grinder/dremel and everything turns into a slot head screw.
Those only open via vasistas, you can’t swing around a 4m window lol.
Yeah. Didn’t think too hard about it, the idea for that project was to segment it and use tilt and turn. But in the end it was kept a singular window And wasistas was used with the string mechanism for commodity’s sake. the change of plans we did made me brain fart… sorry It late over here 😅. still. I’ve made some doors that were too heavy For the tilt and turn hinges we normally use. Mostly due to weird glass pane requirements and sizes. The hinges could most likely handle it. But the specifications said otherwise.
Mine are aluminum frame, steel reinforcements, PVC is only the external layer:
That’s similar to what’s used over here. But iirc the aluminium is not in the ones I’ve seen only PVC and steel Reinforcements. Could be wrong though. I’m quite sure is the same company though. That profile looks very similar.
PVC tends to be lighter than the thermal isolated aluminum we usually use. At least the stuff we have over here. (I work with steel and aluminum though. Never dealt extensively with PVC since it requires specific equipment).
Usually the problematic ones are the long “strip windows” (80cmx3 to 4 m) that some places use especially with argon filled glass panes (thick, layered double panes. With argon filling for emissivity. It may be what you have as well). But for them the style in the picture is usually set aside for a vasistas style closure. Which has an extra support for the panel. Paired with a pull string opening mechanism. I don’t know what’s the generic name.
I’m not sure how windows are installed elsewhere. But here usually you have a good wall thickness. It’s not uncommon to have aluminum/ steel shutters that swing outwards. For privacy. some form of screen for bugs. And then on the inside casement windows that swing on the inside. Either the normal kind or the tilt and turn style shown in the post (I think that’s how it’s said in English).
In this case it’s shutters with adjustable slats to let more or less light in. A steel “grating” (not sure how it’s called in English) for safety and a twin casement window.
I still remember when my cousin’s cat chewed through the pellet stove’s power cord… I don’t think I’ve ever heard a sound that so perfectly matched the expression “screams from hell”. Luckily the RCD tripped so the poor bastard survived. But he sure as hell isn’t touching wires again.
