If you go to a store, and they force you to provide free labor before you can leave with the stuff you wanna buy, that’s what I would classify as “fucking over the customer”

But maybe you enjoy providing free labor?

When it comes to self checkout, I avoid it at every opportunity. In times when I cannot avoid it, I only scan maybe one or two things of my entire grocery cart and then leave with 50 to 60 bucks worth of free groceries.

If some store wants to try to screw me by forcing me to provide free labor, I’m gonna screw them right back.

And I always win. Fuck Self check out.

And it works. The three stores I most frequently shop at have all dropped self check out. I guess they got the message that fucking over their customers isn’t profitable. I wish more would get that message.

Why does that Apple II have a Xerox computer inside it?

A lot of options are disabled for “privacy reasons”. There is no halfway approach. It’s all or nothing with their strict privacy settings.

For some, that’s perfect. For others, who want a more tailored privacy experience, it’s not a really great option.

lol

I honestly don’t know of any “bad” thermal paste, and one gram will be much much more than enough. Keep in mind that the layer of thermal paste between the chip and the heat sink will be less than paper thin, so when you apply it to the new chip, only use a drop. It will spread out to fill the space. The instructions that come with the thermal paste should explain the procedure. I suggest that you take a look at some YouTube videos regarding the procedure before you do it yourself, just so you got good idea of how much to use.

Edit: just as a sidenote, I have never, in all of the years eBay has existed, I felt comfortable buying anything from there. But that’s just me, personally. You can get thermal paste on a lot of places (it’s cheap), and I would recommend buying it direct from a quality retailer.

Thermal paste is always a good thing. If you are affixing a heat sink to a new chip, you’re definitely gonna need some.

They’re very very close. I assure you, it could be far worse.

Also, that doesn’t seem like something that a person would casually notice unless they stared at it for a long time.

Just be glad all of the intersections meet at the same point. If it were all off, especially by irregular amounts, this would be far worse. And I’ve seen that. A lot

Whoever installed this at least did a good job and tried to do the best they could.

I’ve been noticing these around. Sonar catches them and I just delete them and research. I found that it’s often for the next weeks episode of a show. Only days after the previous episode came out. So it’s easy to see something that looks suspect anyway.

Keep in mind that cosmic is still in an alpha build. It’s missing a lot of features and his buggy here are there. I’m sure it will be pretty awesome and once it releases it 1.0 version.

Is this one of those things where people try to install Linux on something simply to see if it can be done, or is there a practical upshot to this?

The turd doesn’t fall far from the asshole

Nope, not without a YouTube login to verify age. I just ran into this the other day.

Lmao

Soon, we’re gonna see CatGPT and DeepDog, with their own subscription plans.

What a stupid piece of shit

Sounds like an intriguing gay porn plot…
