I don’t get it

Edit: oh now I do, you can choose what evee evolved into and one is vaporeon!

A college buddy saw a newspaper ad (this was in the 80s) for a medical experiment project for $500. He went and it was for attempting to impregnate a chimpanzee. He thought about and said he’d be willing to do it only if: nobody ever finds out about his involvement, that the progeny (if any) be treated well, and he’d need a week to come up with the $500.

It’s nuts how companies get to pass on the disposal costs of a defective product to the consumer. “Contact your local municipal waste handler” as a million batteries get thrown in the landfill.

Torx ftw

Working with your hands is hard, but at the end of the day you can step back and see what you accomplished. Not sure excel ever gives that sensation.

Travel router. I can plug it in to a router (if available) and instantly have a network all my devices connect to automatically that can either connect to a commercial VPN or my home VPN. Works to rebroadcast a WiFi network as well. If you have to pay for WiFi, you can pay for one device and clone the MAC onto the router and rebroadcast a signal all your devices can use. Works on planes, hotels, you name it. I have a gl.inet but there are a few.

My proudest script kiddy achievement was at hotel that had paid WiFi and a free tier. I clicked the free tier but it wasn’t very good and there was no way to upgrade to paid, even after changing MAC and deleting cookies etc. I found a piece of gym equipment that used internet in the hotel gym, cloned its MAC address onto the device, unplugged the gym equipment and boom I had full speed internet as it was on the network’s whitelist with no throttle.

And the new hire made less than the person they fired. Efficiency is supposed to save us but if the benefits aren’t shared with the workers, we end up where we are headed today.

This sub is very anti paid-piracy. There’s a plexshares i believe but not very active. Lemmy is the perfect place to post these kinds of things.

This sub gets butthurt about paid services except for usenet.

Have you checked out stremio + real debrid? Have to have a computer connected but it works well and is dirt cheap.

I pay for IPTV and Emby services. This community will hate emby for not being FOSS but it has a better user experience than jellyfin IMO. There is not a great place to find them unfortunately.

10 years is a pretty good run for an SD card.. was it an endurance SD? That’s what I’m running. Fried a non-endurance one in under a year, replaced it with an endurance and reduced log writing frequency with some config change and have been cruising for 3-4 years so far.

Do you mean home ISP or mobile provider? What country? Who is the provider? In the US, some ISPs (especially those with monopoly) charge after ~1-1.5TB/month which is complete bullshit (fuck you comcast who was hated so much by consumers they rebranded to xfinity)
