I really enjoyed When Moon Hits the Eye! Very silly and entertaining overall

Getting splashed in a moving vehicle by the wide mouth ones is so fucking annoying and almost guaranteed.

Are y'all excited about the upcoming Pixel releases or bored with the line? in c/googlepixel@lemmy.world

I have the 8 Pro, it just got the issue I've read about lately - no wifi, no Bluetooth, no mobile hotspot. All these functions fail to start up, and it's not under warranty or being addressed. I like pixels best but plan to replace this broken one with a Samsung probably. I used to use Samsung, maybe an S9+, I didn't love it but I don't trust Google for another phone until the above is sorted out.

For more info, the Raven 28 liter is not great. My partners backpack is falling apart at the base - mine is the same product and hasn't but I baby it more. Under four years of use. The stitching has come apart and you can see the interior structure, like of the laptop sleeve

I've wondered about the names for years, never enough to search it. They really did a godawful job. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 works as does adding Super or whatever. Thanks for listing them out

Pretty fascinating, especially the 1% of tallest trees holding more than half of above ground carbon

A car I want and could afford is up for sale near me. Torn between saving money or picking it up (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

These 20+ year old cars just call out to me...

Would you interview somewhere that you expect would not hire you because of recreational drug use? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

As in, if you were applying to delivery positions but you know they'll test for cannabis, would you even apply / interview? What about in a jurisdiction where the drug is recreationally legal?

I changed my shift knob to an aftermarket one with little issue (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

However, I also ordered a new head unit and learned I'll have to take the knob off in order to get the new radio in, so I did some redundant work. Mildly frustrating to have to repeat the steps. The car front seats are also not comfortable while working on the center of the cabin. I've never been in another car with such rigid left and right sides of the seat parallel to my legs.

Looking for tips on seeding more, what kind of hardware to use. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I've been struggling to get ratios over even 1.0, most are stuck in the low 0.10 - 0.20 range. I don't seed off my gaming PC 24/7 because I don't want a VPN on all the time, plus I turn it off at night.

So mainly wondering if anyone has tips on a good setup to keep the PC seeding overnight, I'm running linux mint currently. I also have a RaspPi but I understand they are not great for torrents?

Is there any good way to compartmentalize a VPN? I.e., use the VPN for qBitTorrent only, and use my regular network adapter for other stuff (games, browsers, whatever).

I've tried a seedbox in the past and they're neat, but I'd rather avoid a subscription and just use my hardware. I'm using Private Internet Access VPN until my already paid for time is up in case that's significant.

I play a lot of windowed games on my PC as I watch less engaging content like TV I've seen, Youtube. Lately Balatro, Peglin, a racing game called art of rally, Mini Motorways. Interested to hear other people's preferences.

I generally want something that runs well windowed because I use a third of my ultrawide to run the video, so no shooters or "big" games usually.

I wanted a simple way to make a fun background for my desktop, and I found it! I used the pattern generator and highly recommend messing with it and the gradient maker. Please check it out just for the UI, it's awesome. I attached the hexagon background I made.
