I used to like the a400, had a few of them in service, but a few years ago I tried another one and it was terrible. Just… Slow… like an HDD. I did some research and apparently they changed something with the nand somewhere along the line. Did a bait and switch. I don’t remember the details but it annoyed me.
I actually needed to buy a budget SSD just today, and I got a BX500. We’ll see how it goes. I know not to expect much from a drive without DRAM, but at least I know that going in.
This happened for me with the scene in one of the new star trek movies where they play beastie boys while busting out of a cloud or something. Idk, it was a really cool scene, but I was mad that I’d already seen it in the trailer. It’s ludicrous. I still complain about it to my wife to this day.
Thanks, I thought of something even better. Slap Linux on that thing! Wipe the whole drive on “accident”. Linux is way more innocuous than pirate Windows 🤷♂️
Go with humility first, you screwed up. Follow it up with a joke about how you discovered a flaw in the configuration of work laptops, and now they can fix it to prevent someone else from being able to do that 🤷♂️ I think you’ll be ok
I would also like to know the answer to this
Thank you. My favorite thing, can never not think of it
Hey thanks man I really appreciate all your detailed help, and offer to buy those phones.
I contacted one of those resellers, and they unsurprisingly weren’t interested in anything. I probably won’t try to put aftermarket firmware on them, I looked into it a bit and it seems it never really took off. Plus I live in an apartment. I’ll try to offload them on eBay or something.
I’m certainly interested in getting you these phones, I have no use for them, and it seems like you do haha. Whatever is a fair price for you is fine by me, I’m not looking to get rich. I’ll try to send you a PM, I don’t even know if Lemmy supports that.
Hey thanks for the big writeup! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.
It’s a bummer that Meraki stuff is less desirable, I just pulled it all out of the closet and it looks like that’s most of what I’ve got.
I’ve got two of the MR84, three of the MR36, a MS225-24P, some antennas for them, and three of some kind of IP phone CP-8841.
Is the Meraki stuff contract only? My buddies boss gave him this stuff from the closet at work. Says he didn’t want or need it. Then he gave it to me 🤷♂️ I know my buddy didn’t steal it, but I’m hoping it’s not considered stolen or something? Because you have to have a contract? Idk maybe I’m overthinking it.
That’s fair
Same here, I was in on the preorder, and I’ve been burned too many times to want to do that normally
I have a bunch of networking gear to sell, it’s semi recent stuff, all Cisco. How would I go about selling it? Are those websites that buy old network gear in bulk any good? I really don’t want to sell them individually on eBay
Cool. I got licensed just before the pandemic, I’ve played with APRS a bit but never LoRa
You a ham? Or is this LoRa? APRS?
Nice! Did that for a long time, got pretty deep into it. Over a dozen DE razors, some straights, I had brushes and soaps and all that.
Eventually I settled into a routine with a feather asd2, Astra blades, and clubman’s shaving cream in a tub.
I have super coarse whiskers, they mostly grow straight down but I get some swirling, especially on one side of my neck.
I was able to do my whole shave in one pass, mixing WTG, XTG, and AGT depending on where I was on my face.
So I started wetshaving for the nice experience, but ended up with fast efficient shaves. Still though, I’d occasionally not have enough time, and I’d use the electric. Even though it was nowhere near as close, it was even faster.
Recently I’ve started to grow a beard, so I haven’t shaved in a couple months. This is the first time in my life I’ve tried growing a beard, so we’ll see.
I’m sure my wetshaving skills will come in handy for trimming and cutting a line on my beard.
That’s fair I guess lol.
Still though, kind of neat 😁
Why not? I forgot how much I loved compiz
My octagon from 2008, I had forgot all about this!
Edit: sorry for the potato quality, these are screen caps from a video I uploaded to YouTube, which is only available at 360p.
I didn’t link the video because it shows my web browser open with plenty of doxxing information, I wasn’t very bright back then.
Hmmm that sounds like it might have been deoxit. It’s worth trying again, but it can only do so much, eventually the resistive track just wears away.
If you need to solder in replacements, I wrote up a short starter suggestion comment elsewhere in this thread.
As I understand it, there’s a range of sizes that are problematic, from small to micro to nano and beyond.
The problem is the more plastic we make, and the smaller it starts, the easier it is for it to get worn down into smaller and smaller bits that become more problematic for us.
One of the problems with all the macro plastics in the ocean is that that as they get churned up and baked in the UV from the sun, smaller and smaller bits break off and become part of the… Everything.
Micro plastics are so prevalent that they can’t even do proper studies on how harmful it might be to us, because there are no control groups that have no plastics inside their bodies to compare against. Even babies in the womb have plastic in them. You have plastic in you right now, almost a 100% guarantee.
There’s probably more to it than that even, but that’s my understanding of it.
