My oldest never hit this, but the younger one who is currently 3 basically matches this comic exactly

Ah, I forgot Atomic (radio) clocks existed. My parents used to have one of those over a decade ago, but I always saw them as more of a novelty. Not saying they’re not valid, just uncommon IMO.

Every appliance in my house (with a clock anyway) and all of our clocks (2 analog, 2 digital) require manual changing. None of them are connected to the internet, which I would think is the only way they would be able to. Do they really make “smart” analog clocks now?

Edit: my car is somewhere in between. It’ll “automatically” change, but I have to turn it on/off. It’s basically just automated the action of moving the hour forward or back.

It wasn’t world, Lemmy.ml is his home instance which does the censoring

SteamOS is arch based and uses KDE Plasma as the default DE, so you could probably run Endeavour OS and be pretty darn close

My dad’s go to is “Joe’s Bar and Grill, this is Grill speaking”. Sometimes he’ll shake it up and answer as Bar instead

Discord is another, goes into effect on the 15th

YES that’s it! Honestly never thought I’d see it again, thank you for the links!

This vividly reminded me of the browser flash game for Bionicle that LEGO had on the Bionicle website when the original run was big. I logged so many hours in that game, I wish I could find an archived version to run through again.

I’ve heard my BIL pronounce it “chew-gee”

They often do articles for Destiny 2 as well, I’ve never understood it. They’re decent articles at least though.

Firefox makes it difficult for IT to manage it through Active Directory and Group rules. Where I work, if it weren’t for the fact that we produce a web app as our primary product, we’d be locked down to only Edge.

If this was a recent occurrence, it may have been from the 6.6.5 kernel. There was a WiFi regression in that version that did exactly that, slowed the system to an absolute crawl. I got hit by it on my PC and ended up hosing my whole install (because I panicked and botched things up), but my laptop was fine. I finally got things reinstalled a couple days later when 6.6.6 was released, which fixed the regression anyway.

Strong Bad was ahead of his time when he made the Ab-Abber 2000. Abs in minutes - nay, seconds!

Locally (Baltimore MD), in the city at least, there’s been a plague of car thefts for a while, specifically of Hyundai and Kia models. I forget the exact details, but there’s a software glitch that basically makes them child’s play to hotwire and roll off with.

I had this happen to me recently too, with an EndeavourOS live USB. In my case, it turned out to be due to a faulty flash, reflashing with Rufus fixed it.

I use proxy.griselbrand.com which works really well IMO

Agreed, but it was comparable (in sales) to the Xbox and not too far behind the N64. It certainly didn’t put Nintendo under, but of course you could say the same for the Wii-U. Financially you could argue it was a failure (and be largely correct), but IMO whether a console failed or not is more than just the raw units sold.

Also, I misspoke in my original comment - Galaxy was on the Wii, not the GC. Must have been thinking about Sunshine.

This may be rose colored glasses talking, but IMO the GameCube wasn’t a failure. It had quite a few iconic titles (SSBM, Animal Crossing, Mario Galaxy Sunshine) and to this day the GC controller is still considered one of, if not the best, way to play smash bros.
