I was in Georgia (the country) a few years back and visited a flea market, where, to my delight, several guys were selling a lot of Russian made tubes. I was inclined to buy a few, but didn’t have an opportunity to research the models on the spot, plus the hassle of taking back glass tubes in my luggage was eventually not worth it.
Still, it’s endearing to know that they’re still around, apart from maker projects and overpriced retro hardware.
I watched a few videos before I realized Bobby Fingers is Mr. Chrome, and it made me unreasonably happy.
I am on my 4th personal TUXEDO laptop, never had any issues. I actually started giving them to the devs at my company, no complaints so far.
They don’t offer my choice of OS, and I wouldn’t use a preinstalled OS anyway, so I can’t comment on that.
Technically, wouldn’t you need the guy 10 minutes in the direction of the rain cloud to have turned it on when you go on a hike? Makes the battery saving argument kinda moot I guess, you should get the notification anyway, if enough people in your area are providing sufficient data for the short term forecast.
Now in order to make that happen, people should participate if they’re using the feature, but that’s almost a moral argument I guess.
Anyway, would still be nice if iOS / Android had more fine grained permission controls.

I’d also decrease the damage a bit if actually used as a bludgeoning weapon.
Honestly, I often like a fadeout, e. g. keeping a slow bass beat around, fade everything else out slowly, sounds like a heart beating its last beats. Super cliché, but I like it.
The anime is Cyber City Odeo 808.
Herzog went to an airport, claimed he was a veterinarian and stole around 300 monkeys for the final scene that they later simply released into the jungle. I’m pretty sure I’m not okay with that, but then again, that was 50 years ago. I believe Herzog had also stolen the camera for that movie.
Couldn’t watch, so I got a summary. Maybe it’s helpful for someone else:
Bluefin is introducing a new “Stable” tag for their Fedora distribution, in addition to the existing “GTS” (Grand Touring Support) and “Latest” tags.
The Stable tag will provide a middle ground between the aggressively updated Latest Fedora and the more conservative GTS version.
Stable will use the latest Fedora release, but with a slightly older kernel that has been more thoroughly tested and vetted by the Bluefin team.
This is intended to cater to enthusiasts who want the latest Fedora features, but with a bit more stability and reliability.
Bluefin will be publishing weekly updates for the Stable images, rather than waiting 2 weeks between updates like the Fedora CoreOS team.
The Stable images will also use zstd chunked compression to reduce the amount of bandwidth needed for updates.
Bluefin is unsure whether the Stable configuration (latest Fedora, slightly older kernel) or the GTS configuration (older Fedora, latest kernel) will ultimately feel more stable in practice
The Stable tag is a response to user feedback requesting access to the latest Fedora releases, rather than having to wait for the GTS version.
Nvidia driver updates for the Stable images will also be provided on a regular basis.
Bluefin is interested in exploring this middle ground between aggressively updated and conservatively updated Fedora distributions.
I don’t care if they participated in a satanic ritual, Christian mass or if they summoned Yog-Sothoth, that has nothing to do with school, there should be no way for people to be expelled for something like that. And to top it off, it was a fucking dance ceremony.
At the time, her private school’s teachers were mostly white people who would often discuss the satanic nature of Apache traditions
Jesus fucking Christ…
Yes, that makes more sense. I can agree with that, thanks for clearing that up.
That’s not how it works in most places, working hours are fixed and breaks are typically mandated by law anyway, so you don’t get to go home early just because you skipped lunch.
Plus, a healthy and tasty meal, subsidized by the employer, certainly beats me shopping for the ingredients and cooking when it comes to price and time invested. An actual problem is rather having access to a place that provides food like that.
Given how political punk was right from the start, I wouldn’t call it “just a music movement”.
Yes, absolutely. Not all hinges are adjustable, unfortunately. In fact, I’d argue that most are not. Just have a look at the hinges at your place (doors, cabinets, toilet seat etc.), most will be very simple mechanisms with no inbuilt adjustment.
You can adjust the play mechanically, of course - that is, through application of a certain amount of force via deformation, which can be a destructive process if not done carefully.
There are hinges that expose an axial screw that allows for precise adjustment of hinge friction, but I have not seen those used for laptop display lids (nor did I personally encounter those in the small dimensions you would find on a laptop) . You’ll find examples of those at Misumi or McMaster - Carr.
If your goal is to increase the friction in your laptop’s display lid hinges, you might find that simply tightening all screws of and around the hinge often does the trick. Even though the main axial screw is not meant to be user accessible, it serves basically the same function and can tighten up the hinge. Tightening the screws used for mounting will ensure the lid doesn’t wobble. You will have to (partially) take your laptop apart for that, naturally.
If your hinge doesn’t have an axial screw at all and uses, let’s say a pin, you might have to employ another method, but that would really depend on the actual mechanism being used.
Absolutely, if there is enough plastic left, melting is one of the best options. That also enables mending plastic by melting in metal pins or strips via a cheap plastic welder for 10 bucks (success can be great, but it’s highly dependent on the geometry and how things broke).
Edit: no, as I said, that’s absolutely fine if there is a chunk of sturdy plastic to accept the insert. I just wanted to present another plastic repair technique for the sake of completeness, if somebody stumbles into this comment section.
This is correct and good advice. I’d like to add that it’s also an option to glue in a threaded metal insert in case a self - tapping plastic screw was used and the original thread is stripped.
by loosening the screws of the hinge.
