A longer term fix is to soak the whole key pad sheet in Fuelite (Petroleum Spirit)

Dummy here. Reads to me as a regional brand name and an ambiguous generic term. Would soaking in naphtha work?

Remember seeing the original title, unable to make sense of it after multiple re-reads. Your edit is clear and succinct.

Right you are; this one's a PVM-8043MD. Looks like it lacks the 16:9 mode, manual degauss and tally light. I believe MD signifies "medical"; removed the cover and there is some shielding around the deflection yoke.

Thank you for mentioning that model number. That page has some good troubleshooting info relevant to the white balance problem I'm seeing with this one. Will post something nice if I can fix it!

Was looking at some larger ones but couldn't pass on this!

I'm as old as my tongue, and a little older than my teeth.

For ZSH and SSH I just speak the letters: Z-S-H, S-S-H. Sudo as ~~"SUE-do"~~ "SUE-doo".

One I wonder about is xrandr. I say "EKS-rand-ur", have heard others say "eks-R-and-R".

edit: for sudo long vowel. Also I tend to stress the H in ZSH and SSH.

First time a political ad got me to laugh (in a good way):

Harris (...) got [transnational gang members] sentenced to prison.

Trump is trying to avoid being sentenced to prison.

Will probably check it out as I count myself among the Black Isle/Obsidian aficionados. Didn't see a link to the mod in the article. Bit of a let-down that Yesterday does not seem to implement the 3D Jefferson Engine as was seen in the Van Buren tech demo, but props to these modders all the same!

The article's a good read. It's not about the first game from 1987.

Call me old-fashioned, but I think 86MB is an obscenely large size for an image thumbnail. Would rather not have these automatically download as I'm on a limited data plan. Wish I had the option to substitute a static image for the thumbnail.

I realize that post may be entirely appropriate for the community to which it was submitted, but have seen plenty of animated avatar icons, etc. and just find that sort of thing distracting and would like to disable or block them if possible. Using Firefox and already running a script blocker with allowances for Lemmy server instances.

I wish to solve CAPTCHA with bicycles, motorcycles etc. in a manner consistent with chaotic good alignment, benevolence, humanitarianism, etc. Shall I select squares that include riders/passengers but not also their conveyance? Was reminded of my uncertainty about this when reading this recent post by @Wilshire to the Technology community.
