folks use that?

buy them from gas stations.

omfg if it does pass thru power i’ll lose my mind. my car has a “modern” cassette player with a hole in the door for one of those 3.5mm to cassette converters, i could make this WORK

so i do torrent stuff when i want to keep it, but the vast majoriy of my media i just stream from whatever shady site i happen to find it on first. it’s too quick and easy.

protip if you ever have trouble finding anything, just use yandex. russia doesn’t give a SHIT about copyright violations or DMCA complaints.

burn it all down

i’m a photoshop simp who straight up couldn’t use GIMP because of the clunky UI, but after switching to linux i’m an avid photogimp advocate.

yeah, reckon we’ve both been getting a bit semantic lol

i can’t speak for the original person, but my whole thing is regardless of consumer practices, manufacturerers are gonna keep making more and more phones every year, and they’re already making too many. those NIB phones on ebay were purchased, but not to be used. until they get sold, they’re just closer and closer to trash every day.

trade ins and buying/selling used DOES make a difference, it’s just hard not to think it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the massive amounts of electronics that end up getting discontinued, discounted, and sold to resellers hahaha

Yeah but new phones that go unpurchased don’t just magically get unmanufactured. I ONLY buy used phones, but that has literally no impact on the garbage production that comes from companies releasing a new model literally every year.

The sheer number of old phones that are still new-in-box on the secondhand market should be enough to exemplify that fact. We are WAY overproducing tech, and the “model a year” framework is throwing fuel on that particular fire.

It’s like people really think “reduce reuse recycle” is LITERALLY ALL IT’S GONNA TAKE. 1 year upgrade cycles are just as bad as fast fashion for how quickly they produce GARBAGE.

320gb hdd I had laying around that would otherwise just collect dust due to it’s miniscule size.

i put a 512gb drive in a thinkpad less than a decade ago and thought at the time “boy this might be overkill”

and now i can get 2tb on a fucking microsd for a cheaper data/cost ratio than i did back then, wild.

It’s as complicated as you make it to be, and that’s gonna vary WILDLY per person lmao

birdstrikes

scrubbing floors with an RC car still sounds pretty cool

It physically hurts me to see so many other people loved the PSP as much as me, and we’ll never get to go back.

Make sure you don’t skip any of the goof ass noir/comic book cutscenes. Some real fucken bangers in there.

I’ve got the legion y540 with an RTX 2060, apparently they made this same model number with a couple different gpu‘s.

I have no idea if it officially has linux support or not, I just got frustrated when it wouldn’t stop bluescreen’ing with windows 10. Ubuntu worked fine but was finnacky with peripherals, and I couldn’t change the brightness without fixes. Pop!OS has just worked perfectly across the board, straight out of the box.

What’s whacky is I could swear games run better on linux. Not even natively, like WINDOWS games run better through proton than they did when the same system ran windows. I’d bet a lot of it is just overhead from general bloat; windows is expensive to run these days.

If my experience is anything to go by, just start installing whatever OS strikes your fancy and hope for the best. Keep a windows usb handy just in case, but just start fucken around! You could spend a week reading documentation on ONE SINGLE OS, or you could spend just an afternoon trying probably every single OS you could find a modern ISO for. Just make sure you try the popular ones first hahaha

argh that’s literally the ONE that was tempting me, now I guess I GOTTA buy one! this sucks!

(thank you so much i’ve wanted to buy this since it came out)

Huge is just about 9 times the size of normal.

Goofy like silly, not like unacceptable. Reckon all three of us are happy it’s as high as it is!

I like it! Even if the majority of em completely abandon the accounts afterwards, it’ll increase the visibility of a fledgeling platform AND it’ll show a few folks that alternative social media platforms exist.

I mean, shit, if lemmy can suit my needs there’s no reason it shouldn’t work for at least some of em.
