13·6 days agoOnly good thing about Pixel 11:
It makes previous models cheaper to buy, root and reinstall with GrapheneOS or e/OS.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I didn't realize masala, was spicyEnglish
7·1 month agoAlso don’t assume that just because you are tolerant to one (Ex: Mexican, Thai, Korean, Indian, etc) means you are tolerant to the others. You most likely are not.
People think they can handle it, then cry like babies when they’re truly tested; myself included. I can nearly drink Tapatio and Sriracha Cock Sauce, but Indian Guntur curries for example send me crying.

I’m literally a subject matter expert (SME) on Enterprise Storage Arrays and can absolutely attest to ‘hitting it’ being an actual tier 3 support suggestion for spindle drives. It’s still a thing and will continue to be one so long as spindle drives continue to exist.
It was a method to unstick stuck drive platters, but hasn’t worked since HDD manufacturing processes changed a few years ago. May work for certain drives manufacted pre-Covid, but that’s it:
Been so long I had forgotten the freezer trick lol. Good memories haha.
Take it out of the Sabrent USB and directly connect it to the system, run lsblk to get the drive id and then check smartmontools using smartctl -H /dev/(whatever disk it is)
This will tell you if the drive is hosed or not.
If it is hosed, can always dead drop it from one banana worth of height on a table to see if the drive heads unlock, then try again.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Google Has Decided My U.S. Spectrum IP Address is in MexicoEnglish
1·3 months agoIt’s dependent on your IP Address. So, if you login to Netflix with a device that registers a public IP in the EEUU, you get US content until that login on that device times out and requires you to login again.
So, take your laptop to the states and logon to netflix, it’ll stay EEUU bound for as long as that session is allowed, regardless of whether you return to MX again.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Google Has Decided My U.S. Spectrum IP Address is in MexicoEnglish
3·3 months agoThis happened to me and it was insanely annoying because so much content is ‘blocked in your country’.
The fix is easy though, just logout of netflix from all devices and log back in.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Reddit is finally entirely dead to meEnglish
5·4 months agoWelcome to the dark side for good and yes, it is better… overall. I’ve been on Lemmy now since the first mass exodus when I deleted my reddit account of 15+ years.
While Lemmy is now my ‘home’, I do occasionally visit 3 reddit subs that have no equivalent elsewhere. It just happens and I see nothing wrong with the occasional view. It’s not like /u/Spez can monitize my VPN anonymous visit. So don’t feel bad if you end up doing the same, Lemmy just doesn’t have the same volume.

71·6 months agoI love my Lavazza coffee blend. I grind and brew it as often as I can. However, I have days where I hit the fuckit button at 5am and have to buy coffee somewhere.



The effective term, at least in Southern California for the low long ones are ‘humps’ as opposed to the short tall ‘speed bumps’.
