We’re getting an Area 15 in Florida in the next few years. Sounds like it could be fun to explore the venue. 🙂

You mean no updates after the OneUI 6 update? None here either, no doubt there will be a few installed on the A8 after Android 14, might be even lucky enough to get Android 18 when it comes out.
Remember back in the early days of browsing you could hit Esc to stop images loading, there’s mention of Ublock Origin at the end of this thread – would…[Read more]

Nope, no update here! Works okay for the most part, just pretty slow on ad heavy sites and sites with a lot of images. Running everything in a private browsing session does tend to help somewhat, though. Battery life, needless to say, is garbage at this point 😛

Will check the settings menu!

I’ve got a pretty basic A7 Lite. It came without a lot…[Read more]

For the Oblivion system, have you tried replacing the coin cell battery? When they go belly up, the board can start doing some funky things.

Yeah, sounds like it’s time to replace the aging workhorses. Always sad when a piece of tech dies 🙁

Yeah, that’d work if you’re looking for pretty basic. You may want to upgrade the cooling a bit if you go with it, though. In my experience, the mass market brands often cut corners with the cooling so things can get a bit hot when you’re playing a game. Should also run No Man’s Sky, which I highly recommend you try at some point 🙂

Upgrading can…[Read more]

The sequel isn’t much better. It spends nearly two hours focusing on his sister’s PTSD. It does have a redeeming feature: Weird Al makes a brief appearance. Still have half an hour left. Ugh but I’ll finish it. Once I start one, I force it through. I got through Plan 9! 😛

I need a good creature feature. I haven’t had a good one since Humanoids…[Read more]

The Oblivion desktop is kaput after being powered on after some months in storage. The lights and fans turn on, the DVD door works if operated, no BIOS beep or light on keyboard, nothing on screen either.
The old Skyrim PC has turned out even worse, the last windows session on it gone into permanent frost. On reboot there was a service exception…[Read more]

After the above inclusion, this is a sure fire eyeroller. 😛
The purchase of an HP Elite SFF 600 G9 from here could be correctly construed as being diametrically opposed to any religion not espousing branded products.
The reasons for it go like:

• • Cheap, free delivery, and good support.
  • Low power consumption.
  • Quiet operation
  • On board…

Random memory: many moons ago when I was in the market for a Blu-ray player, the store told me to buy a PS3 instead. Needless to say, I went to a different shop to get one. 😛

😀

Saw the Halloween remake yesterday. Haven’t seen the first one so I don’t have much to compare it to but it came off as a rather run of the mill slasher. We had to sit through a good half hour or so of build-up before the story actually started, showing Michael in the asylum. While it was good to give them a backstory, I felt they overdid it…[Read more]

Is it possible to set it up as a tree-view using something like graphviz? Would be a fun way to browse through the history 🙂

Hopefully it goes relatively smoothly. What really irks me is when a library deprecates a function but doesn’t provide a similar function for the task, keeping from being able to upgrade. Gets pretty annoying sometimes 😛

Yuck! No options in the account settings to limit the emails? Never used Ali’s sites before

The search section is pretty…[Read more]

And from Alaska:

“Kangaroos are not allowed in barber shops at any time.”

Some of them really make you wonder 😛

Yuck. Asbestos can be messy. 🙁

Awesome! Doing an image search shows a lot of them on a banana but what about a bus being enclosed in a banana? That could be fun!

Grampsweb is the first port of call, possible on Synology, and possible in hosting, no plugin based WP integration as such. There does happen to be Tangled Web at Github from late ’21.
For now, trying out the Narrated Website, the first blue was selecting the tar.gz in the export options, the backslashes turned borko in the tarball,…[Read more]

Definitely checking out the next codpiece, and oh yeah, Roddy Piper was a true artist! 😛

A first glimpse of the lead in Taxi Driver and Robert De Niro may not come to mind, from what we know of his later work. Scorcese wrung all the changes well from the shock ending revelations of the film, which,…[Read more]

You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time

What if it’s just the wafer cone without the filling? Funny about Joe Biden’s ice cream Gaza ceasefire speech, if it was performed in Washington with a lollipop instead, illegal!

Had a recent scare involving asbestos in mulch in schools, much of it is bonded though. When…[Read more]
