To add to the situation, the age of the device alone led me to believe that it wasn’t new enough to support video on USB-C, and I told her as much from the start.

Oh no, anyway …

Similar thing with my sister recently … her work laptop can run a monitor off of the USBC port. She bought a second monitor, and cable for her home PC, and couldn’t understand why it wouldn’t work. I had to actually pull the specs on her laptop up on HP’s site and show her where it stated that the USBC didn’t support a monitor.

If you were lucky it was one of the newer handsets that only weighed a couple of pounds (still hurt like a bitch). Growing up in the '80s we had one that was probably from the early '70s that could be used to club baby seals.

Been writing the same software for 20+ years now, don’t even need git blame to figure out what asshole wrote this shit.

They opened one a few years ago here in SC. It was in a strip mall that was just 3 restaurants all owned by the same guy (the Donatos, his own private restaurant, and a Salsaritas).

After about a year he moved the Donatos menu to the restaurant, made it a drive through only for pickup, and expanded the restaurant bar into the old Donatos dining room.

5.68 minus gas and wear and tear on your vehicle.

I do some DD for extra cash sometimes, and see shit like this all the time. I don’t know who’s taking this shit, but it isn’t me.

Lots here still do too.

But I notice that both Pizza Hut and Papa Johns will send orders out to DoorDash when they don’t have enough drivers, or if the orders don’t have good tips / don’t line up with areas the drivers are going to.

I also know you can order Pizza Hut from DoorDash directly instead of via the Pizza Hut website.

I travel a lot for work, and use a cell modem as my primary internet source. Even when I’m at home, I get cloudflare captchas and sites requiring 2fa all the time, since my IP changes constantly.

I’m in SC, but constantly get geolocated in GA, AL, and NC.

I put up a VPS with WireGuard on it just to allow me to always be in Seattle for banking and business sites that constantly require 2fa due to location changes.

Same here. Running WireGuard on a VPS in Seattle.

Paying $10 a month, but that’s just because I also use that VPS for OwnCloud as well.

For a couple of years we directly loaded our app onto dedicated devices that we deployed to client locations. Adding an extra day to this process would require some extra work / planning.

This is for an app that isn’t on the Play Store, and many of these devices don’t have GMS, or a store or browser on them.

We’ve since moved entirely to an MDM, so this isn’t really an issue anymore, but we do occasionally run into a device that’s not yet been enrolled and still uses the manual installation

The Google page I read was the opposite of that. The first time you unlock sideloading, they’ll warn you and make you wait for a day. From then on it’s unlocked.

While I hate Google with a passion, and don’t trust them at all, this seems like a reasonable way to handle the issue of non tech people being coerced into sideloading unsavory apps by scammers.

Steam has Train Valley 2 as my most hours by far (3544). But a lot of those hours are from minimizing the game, and leaving it running overnight, so probably closer to 2000 hours.

This is mostly due to the Steam Workshop / community maps, as there are hundreds of them and new ones get added constantly, so it’s a great game that I can play quick sessions while watching something on TV at night, or eating lunch at my desk.

Red Dead 2 has 2400+, but 2200 of that is on Xbox, and it’s the main thing I play on Xbox, so I’m not sure if that’s actual gameplay time, or just “game running but just sitting at the main menu” time (which would be a lot of hours).

Oxygen Not Included is over 600 hours, and I haven’t even added any DLC, so I see that getting a bunch more hours when I have time.

It absolutely is something you can influence.

That’s the entire point. You can not use the slop machine.

Amen … they’re the fucking worst.

It’s been a month since I used UBlock to hide it completely, but the AI bot built into QuickBooks Online would give me cookie recipes and other random things, but bitch about being most useful for accounting specific things.

After flogging it for a week it told me I needed credits before I could use it again and tried to sell me some.

We’re in a kind of small city in SC, with a lot of rural areas around, so that’s probably why we get $2 per offer. We get offers for $2 or $3 dollars with 10+ miles all the time.

I generally average $20 an hour, but I do a lot of grocery shopping, and my wife often goes with me and drives (and helps shop on very large orders), so that speeds the process up. But I also don’t take anything under $5, and nothing less than $1 a mile ($1.50 with gas prices the way they are now).

I agree that tipping after would put pressure on DD to raise the base rate, but with almost 4000 orders over the last few years, I bet less than 5% of the no tip orders have ever added anything after the fact.

They won’t initially offer it for $10 without a tip ever.

I do DoorDash for extra money, and the initial offer in my area is always $2 if there’s no tip (for food delivery, shopping can be more), and since tips added after delivery are almost nonexistent, I never take these orders.

When I turn that down, they offer it to the next driver for $2.25, or $2.50, and keep going around until they find someone to take it. They’ll also try to bundle a couple of low paying offers together ,or find a higher paying offer to bundle it with.

But they don’t offer it for $10 unless they absolutely have to.

There’s no automated way to handle it, but you can probably speed it up a bit with a few tools.

Generally once you find the first episode of the disk, the rest will be named numerically after it, so maybe the special features or FBI warning or other misc things are the first track or two (starting at 0), or it could be the first episode, but once you find that one the rest will usually be named in order (t0_01, t0_02, etc).

In Windows, I used a tool called Bulk Rename Utility (https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/) when I did this in the past. Once you figure out how to use it, you can rename all the files at once in the folder in a format (show_s1_e1 or other supported format pretty quickly. It won’t be automatic, but will be way faster than renaming them by hand.

I usually use TheTVDb to do the naming, that way the shows can be found / indexed easily.

The only thing that you’ll have to keep in mind for show rips, is that many times the DVD order isn’t aired order, and they may not match the order on TheTVDb, or other source, so you may have to rename them in Aired order occasionally, or change the settings for Jellyfin: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-resolved-dvd-order-instead-of-aired-order

Does your motherboard have a boot menu option?

I haven’t done 2 Linux installs in this way, but for Linux / Windows I don’t really “dual boot”. I have two separate drives, with two separate installations. I can boot into either one, even if the other drive is missing.

I did each install with all of the the other drives removed from the machine to keep things clean. Then I can just select whichever drive I want to boot into from the motherboards / UEFI boot menu.

The only downside to this is that I do have to select a default boot drive, so if I’m not paying attention, Windows update will reboot into the Linux installation since it’s the default drive.
