The WiFi still works on EndeavourOS on my 2012 MBP but even then I couldn’t use WPA 3 on my router. I could tell the writing’s on the wall for that chip so I got a tp-link USB WiFi adapter that’s recognised straight away without any tinkering.

I get to use modern secure protocols and feel confident nothing will mess up because I haven’t had to tinker or try anything to have it working.

Also sometimes with a wireless issue there’s an easy workaround.

The ancient Broadcom WiFi module is the most problematic aspect of my 2012 MacBook Pro, but I got a fully Linux compatible tp-link USB wifi adapter for about £10.

I wrote that it was people who sneeze “super loudly” that seem to be doing it for attention, not just anyone who makes any vocalisation at all.

Some people feel the need to turn every sneeze up to 11. Saying like a cartoon character is a good way of putting it.

You’re totally normal and in fact it’s the people who are, consciously or unconsciously, choosing to vocalise the “ah-choo!” that are the weird ones, at least in my book.

It actually really bugs me when people sneeze super loudly, I swear some people just do it for attention.

Oh wow, that must have been amazing. I only saw it when the BBC broadcast it. But I don’t think I’ve ever been so moved by a science documentary.

• The Farthest (about NASA’s Voyager missions)
• Hurt Locker Hero / The Deminer (about Fakhir Berwari, a bomb disposal expert who disarmed thousands of landmines in Iraq with just a pocket knife and a pair of wire clippers)
• The Devil We Know (tells the story of DuPont’s decades-long cover-up of the harm caused by chemicals used to make its popular non-stick Teflon products)

All three are very good, very moving documentaries.

I’ve never been banned from Reddit even temporarily, I just like Lemmy more

If there’s a steady paycheck in it, I’ll believe anything you say

Janine, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.

Ghostbusters:

• Back off man - I’m a scientist

• Listen! You smell something?

• What about the Twinkie?

• Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!

• Yes it’s true, this man has no dick

• Ok, so… she’s a dog

• When someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes!

• Aim for the flat top!

• Cross the streams

…and much much more

I wanted to give OpenSuse Tumbleweed a go yesterday, but the live USB got stuck at “Loading basic drivers” so I couldn’t even get to being able to install it.

I guess nothing’s changed then haha. I have a 2015 LCD Bravia. No longer my main TV, but it’s been awesome.

But the delay between turning it on and being able to switch inputs… Jesus.

My 2012 MacBook Pro has exactly the opposite behaviour on a clean install across multiple distros. The brightness keys do nothing until after a suspend, then work fine until the next reboot. Never found a fix.

Yeah, I was a huge fan of that person going to that length, and saying they’d argued with their girlfriend about it, haha

Confusingly both. The name is from the red panda, but the icon is absolutely a fox!

This article immediately had me searching in confusion over whether the logo is a fox or meant to be a panda! What is your logo? Fox or red panda?

Occasionally you’ll click on an article or photo and there’s a really important explanation or disclaimer as the most-upvoted comment, but you’ll only see that first if you sort by top.

No, I was still being cheaper with phones at that stage.

I remember my friend getting an N95 and how that was a big deal back then haha.

After looking through an extremely long list of Nokia phones on Wikipedia, it might have been a 6120 classic.
