Yeah, tracking down manuals for older products can be hard! It’d be nice if the manufacturers kept an archive for them but not all of them do, sadly. For my turntable, I had to grab it from a third-party site even though Thorens is still going strong.

Looks pretty straightforward: just a matter of popping open the compartment and slotting it in.…[Read more]

Fortunately, we still have Ars Technica.

Been a while so I had to reacquaint myself with how Windows works…

Looks like that’s a limitation in Windows. The Windows tools only have the ability to create a 32 GB volume but the OS has no problem recognizing and working with it up to its maximum size of 16 TB. In order to go above 32 GB, you’ll need to use a different tool or file system.…[Read more]

Awesome! On farms, they’re using flying bots equipped with lasers to blast weeds. Or at least they’re in development.

Here are the old ones if you want to catch up! Lots of interesting stuff on Textfiles!

The Register is fun. They put a slightly humorous spin on their stories. It definitely keeps things interesting 😛

Did some poking around and…[Read more]

While Lorcana doesn’t have an official database, there’s a pretty good fan site that helps to fill in the blanks: https://dreamborn.ink/

Finally got around to watching the Lawnmower Man (director’s cut) yesterday. Highly recommended even if the reviews have it at 37%. 🙂

Saw this one yesterday. It was fun but the plot made zero sense. They kept forgetting various things that made it nonsensical, such as when the heroines top got cut by a scythe at a warehouse leaving her topless. They just left it at that without a change of clothes and a few dead bodies. We’re supposed to assume she made it back in that state…[Read more]

Tried out Lorcana yesterday and it’s pretty fun. The game is pretty chill and is pretty straightforward, unlike modern YGO. As far as gameplay goes, it’s similar to a boardgame but without the board aspect. I’ll probably try it for a bit and see how it goes 🙂

What filesystem did you format it as? It may have been a filesystem limitation.

Weird that original run didn’t properly set up the system files. Of course, I’ve never tried to set up a Windows recovery drive (I’ve always just used the installation media). Are things well on the way to recovery now, then?

Here’s an interesting blurb on wormholes: https://futurism.com/the-byte/small-wormholes-fabric-space-time

Got more articles buried in my list somewhere. Wormhole research has really been getting popular over the last several months!

Yay! New story! Always did love the series! 😀 Been reading it for twenty years:P

My base in NMS is coming along rather nicely. Got a roamer bay assembled so that will help with exploring the planet I’m on and I may toss a few more bases on it later. Not sure as it’s nothing special, just the first base the game had me make to get used to base building. 🙂

Still want to build a base on that desert planet but I’ll get there! I…[Read more]

Saw After Hours yesterday and it was a lot of fun. Not a whole lot of plot but that’s okay!

Thanks. Took a closer look at the reviews and they’re pretty consistent with regards to the upper lip area. Sounds like the spacing of the rotaries is too much to properly cover the area. Back to the drawing board!

Yeah, I’ve always had battery anxiety. Really wish we’d go back to batteries that were easily replaceable by the consumer. 🙁

Ugh.…[Read more]

Thanks! Taking a look at them now, this one looks like a good middle of the road option?

Great!

I really miss games hosting the leaderboards on an easily accessible site. 🙁 Granted, that hasn’t been much of a thing in a long time but I still miss it! It was fun to check in and see how you were doing compared to everyone else throughout the day.…[Read more]

Finally got around to seeing The Stepford Wives the other day. While it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. Found it a bit bland for some reason or other.

Yeah, not a fan of subtitles. Over here, it was dubbed but they hadn’t bothered to change any of the credits to english. 😛

Probably hasn’t aged well, either. Still on the list, though! Almost watched it a few weeks ago but watched something else. 😛

Do like Gibson’s writing. He even did an episode of the X-Files!

Saw this low profile sci-fi…[Read more]

Saw The Lift yesterday and that was pretty fun, if somewhat cheesy. In one scene, the elevators play hide and seek with a girl before eating her teddy bear. 😛

How do they handle the upper lip? They’re not too large, are they? My only experience is with foil razors 🙂

Looks like most electric razors these days are cordless. Not too worried about battery capacity as they’ll only be used for a brief time daily so it’ll be a long time before the batteries are no longer able to hold a charge. Sadly, it does…[Read more]

Huh, no device loading is pretty weird. Had that happen over here a couple of months ago but it cleared itself up after a few microcode and kernel updates (even weirder as that shouldn’t have affected the UEFI). Does everything still work in the OS itself?
