Lol, what about cd+rw? Didn’t those have better compatibility?

Cort@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your favorite thing that anyone has done out of pure spite?5·4 days agoIf payment offered in legal tender is refused, the debt would be cancelled.
There’s no requirement to accept cash for pre payments, but for debts cash must be accepted.
Cort@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If I found voter irregularities in my home district do I have to hire a lawyer to prove it.? Or just let it go and the Florida Orange win?2·7 days agoSpousal abuse is only one concern, also parent/child coercion (you’re an adult now, you can’t live in my house unless you vote the way I want). Another would be buying votes, and using the “receipt” to collect payment.
Cort@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•"This Is The ONLY Home Server You Should Buy" Or, why older computers may be better for the environment | Hardware HavenEnglish11·8 days agoNo, the graphics from Intel back in 07-10 were crap. 2012-2013 would be my bare minimum, usb3 if only for loading a new OS.
Cort@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•"Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhostingEnglish1·12 days agoCouple years ago I wouldn’t have argued, but with graphics cards ballooning to 3+ slots, you have to be more careful about which slots on the motherboard have full enough lanes to support your cards. And you have to make sure your motherboard has the full x16 slot in the highest position which is less common on boards with m.2. otherwise there isn’t room for expansion cards
Cort@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•"Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhostingEnglish1·12 days agoJonsbo makes some decent compact nas cases with plenty of space for drives. Look at their N series N3/N4 etc.
matx would be more upgradable than itx, but nobody is making either of them with 10gb Ethernet. So I personally would be looking at full ATX boards so I could add in a nic.
Cort@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•"Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhostingEnglish1·12 days agoIt’s not impossible, but first Gen Ryzen was surprisingly good after AMD shit the bed for a few years. Most major manufacturers weren’t willing to take a chance, though you can find some 2nd Gen available on the used market.
If it were me, I’d look for a motherboard/CPU combo and assemble it into your case of choice. That way you aren’t stuck with the weird form-factors of pre-built office computers.
Cort@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•"Recommended System Requirements" for buying a used PC for selfhostingEnglish3·13 days agoIf you’re ok buying used, I’d go for a first Gen Ryzen 8 core. They’re cheap as chips since they don’t support Windows 11, but the cpu is upgradable so you can upgrade if you need more power or want to run Windows 11. Also it’s a ddr4 platform so the ram is under $100 for 64gb.
A GTX 1050 would be fine for Plex, and discrete graphics would be required if you go with the Ryzen recommendation. I think rtx 3060 is probably the sweet spot for a 12gb vram card, but you won’t need that much unless your streaming to 5+ Plex users simultaneously.
Cort@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user baseEnglish3·14 days agoWhat Linux infrastructure? The wikis and torrent links?
Fwiw, I’ve switched 2 computers in my house to Linux. Still researching to find out if I can switch my z13 tablet and keep all the functionality.
Cort@lemmy.worldto 3DPrinting@lemmy.world•BeyBlades Made Ever More Dangerous With 3D PrintingEnglish12·14 days agoIs it just me or has hackaday gone down hill for the last couple years?
They’re reporting on a bringus video from 4 months ago.
Cort@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•$440 Charge For A Wheel Scuff Raises Questions About Hertz's AI Rental Car Damage ScannerEnglish5·17 days agoI’m in the industry, and the only thing I’ve seen the scanners used for is cya. Make sure the dealer doesn’t get blamed for pre-existing damage
Cort@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Judge backs AI firm over use of copyrighted booksEnglish1·18 days agoOrcs and dwarves (with a v) are creations of Tolkien, if the fantasy stories include them, it’s a violation of copyright the same as including Mickey mouse.
My argument would have been to ask the ai for the bass line to Queen & David Bowie’s Under Pressure. Then refer to that as a reproduction of copyrighted material. But then again, AI companies probably have better lawyers than vanilla ice.
While the phone not turning on can indicate other issues, sometimes it’s just the battery.
Thought it was dankpods, but it was his mechanic James:
One thing to note is that Apple will only replace the battery if the phone turns on. If the battery stops taking a charge and won’t turn on, they’ll tell you to get a new phone.
Also YMCA has income based pricing. Iirc it was like $50/year when I was working for minimum wage.
Cort@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•In old movies, it's only creepy rich people who have cameras in their house watching everything. Now everybody's creepy.2·27 days agoOnly time my dad ever had to check them was when the cleaning service repeatedly ‘forgot’ to clean the 2 bedrooms at the end of the hall. Only weirdos constantly monitor them.

Cort@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Minnesota Shooting Suspect Allegedly Used Data Broker Sites to Find Targets’ AddressesEnglish1·27 days agoSeems like there was more reporting on their clothing choice than on the person themselves.
Iirc the top gear one was rolled on purpose, but they didn’t have to try very hard.
