That’s in the Canary Islands, for those of you like me who don’t know where Fuerteventura is.

TIL the Canary Islands have a population of 2.2 million (!)

They have deployed an AI reply system into the comments, probably to make up for the decrease in traffic that could hurt their IPO.

I don’t think it even needs to be them for it to be a huge problem. People have been automating the process of gaining karma to sell accounts for years and years, I would imagine this process is accelerating with the rise of LLMs and the bottom falling out from under all the mod tools.

In Lebanon, “Handy” means a cordless landline.

Lord forgive me for what I’m about to do

I actually found this because I was following a guide that needed Process Explorer to find out which damn program was catching my controller before DS4Windows was.

It was Firefox, specifically the Stable Diffusion WebUI for some reason.

You’re telling me you don’t like putting on on your most ridiculously offensive Yeehaw Hollywood American accent when asking your phone to set a timer?

I remember installing this or a similar one on a friend's laptop, just setting it as the screen saver for later chaos. Must have been around Vista era.

Something incredibly funny to me about the fake Microsoft error being a Microsoft product.


More weirdness from the Sysinternals resources: one of the resources that MS actually recommends in the year of our lord 2023 is to actually go out and buy a physical book for their software:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/resources/troubleshooting-book

I'm leaving that link as a URL on purpose. Just look at that. /troubleshooting-book. Amazing. The errata are updated online though. Very weird. Maybe leftover contractual obligation after acquiring SI in 2006? So weird.

They even suggest you go buy it from an independent bookstore if you're not feeling like the Microsoft Press Store does it for you.

I've always been fascinated by these third-party-but-now-first-party-after-acquisition situations everything doesn't quite line up neatly.

My only gripe with using FMHY as my main.

Basically keyboards are built of different parts. There are many articles, and I’m sure the old site has good resources.

Typically you choose the case (which is the physical keyboard exterior except for the buttons), which typically comes with the brains (PCB) of the keyboard. Things like layout and size are chosen by choosing the right case.

You choose your switches, which are the actual buttons that get pushed when you press keys. Each key is an individual switch, there are many types.

The plastic thing you touch when you press a key is a keycap, keycaps can get super expensive super quick for the nice designer stuff, but that does apply to everything else to be fair. There are different colors and materials of keycaps, different shapes (you know how old computers have very 3D keycaps while MacBooks have super super flat keycaps?), and even different manufacturing processes that affect how long the design will last etc (if you’ve seen a cheap RGB keyboard at a modern net cafe if those exist where you are, you’ll notice some keys peeling and stuff, that won’t happen with the keyboard in OP’s photo).

Some keys are big (like the spacebar or shift keys) and they need a small mechanism to keep them easy to press, those are called stabilizers. They sometimes come included with cases, but people like choosing nice ones and lubricating them.

There are more secondary parts available, such as novelty keycaps, or sound deadening foam, or brass weights, batteries for Bluetooth boards, etc.

One word of warning is that this hobby gets very expensive very fast. So you’re free to go with a standard decent keyboard if it satisfies you. Unlike other hobbies, building your own keyboard is much more expensive than just buying a prebuilt thing. But building your own feels nice, and being able to program it to do exactly what you need your keyboard to do is really easy.

The only gesture it still needs is swiping a comment right to left to collapse the entire comment thread

That said, isn’t that how leagues work in the US for most sports? The bottom teams are constantly given legs up to keep the winners cycling. That’s what the whole draft system is about, right? Full disclosure: I know close to nothing about US sports.

No disrespect to US sports fans or athletes but over there it seems more like the brand they care about is the league itself, as an entertainment product, compared to football teams in most of the world which are much more independent. Even just the name “franchise” says something.

God I really need to get back into tinkering. This video (and the Posy VFD video, which is probably the reason YouTube recommended this to me) makes me long for the days when electronics were more unique. Everything had its own look, every display had to be intentionally designed around the hardware limitations of the time. Nowadays everything is a black slab. I do like my black slabs - but this stuff is so much cooler aesthetically.

If you found this video interesting, there’s also Fran Blanche who posts about obscure displays, as well as Posy, who is probably one of my favorite internet creators.

“Guys I know the instructions say I can use any odorless cooking oil, but is there anything wrong with just buying the $89 Apple oil? I want to have a matching set”

Between Postecoglou, Maddison, and Vicario, it looks like Spurs are actually cooking for a change. They also just properly signed Kulusevski.

During the managerial mess, I was super on board the Nagelsmann train, and when that fell through, I really got on board the Slot train the more I read about him. I never took the Big Ange possibility seriously.

Over the few weeks since Postecoglou’s announcement, I’m actually optimistic about this cursed club again. All the players and coaching staff gushing over him, all the trophy photos. The man’s mentality and passion are incredible, especially when contrasted with the negative associations that come with the club. I’m also excited to see what that means for Ryan Mason. I want to see fun football, and I want to see it done by teams that aren’t a feel-good propaganda arm of an oil kingdom.

I’d usually turn to /r/coys to have (or rather, to skim) this discussion, but I don’t plan on visiting any /r/ for a while

Due to how haphazard it’s been with community growth, there’s always the possibility that another one will take off if spam or other issues start piling up here.

For now there’s a tiny amount of content at all, let alone spam.

Although I must admit, having the proper “Football” community instead of “Soccer” is nice.
