You can’t fool me… that’s clearly not a 16th century CE cat.

What are we doing for TVs these days software wise? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You can debloat an NVIDIA shield android tv box, replace the default launcher, then install whatever else you want. It’s probably not perfect but it’s pretty darn good. That’s what I use and it can be updated without losing any of my customization.

I must admit I’m a little sad that you forgot to label the mysterious human figure. Who could it be? We’ll never know.

I asked people to take handover for a full month before I left and nobody cared. On my last day they kept asking if they could call me with questions. I said only if they had their credit cards ready because I wasn’t going to work for free.

I watched the first moon landing on a black & white TV while wearing footie pajamas.

He’ll have financial control but not operational. It looks like his son will be ceo and president, so I guess maybe it’s a nepobaby purchase?

I’m enjoying it a lot so far. I haven’t missed working at all.

I retired about a year ago, so the left-most book on the middle row is about me.

What's a good option for a secobdary phone number with suffixes? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It depends a LOT on where you are. In the USA, Canada, and (I think) Mexico, such a thing is not possible, at least in any way that the services you mentioned will care.

It might be possible in places where phone numbers don't have a fixed length, like (again, I think) Germany.

Lemmyns of Lemmy who have received CPR, what was experience like for you? What do you remember? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] robolemmy@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I haven’t had it but my mom did. She experienced or remembered none of the actual cpr but the recovery from bruising and broken ribs was so painful that she signed a do not resuscitate order saying she would rather die than have cpr again.

Is there any reason to upgrade my AMD Ryzen 9 5950x to a 7900x3d or 7950x3d? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm currently using an AMD 5950x and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 LHR, pushing video to a Dell U4021QW, which is a 40" monitor running 5120x2160@60hz. A few of the games I play are pretty challenged at that resolution, so I'm thinking of upgrading at least the video card. Is there any reason to build a new system with a newer CPU as well?

Noah Webster: "The freest government, if it could exist, would not be long acceptable, if the tendency of the laws were to create a rapid accumulation of property in few hands, ..." (www.americanrhetoric.com)
 

Way back in 1820, Noah Webster penned a rather prescient speech that talked about the problem of inequality. Some of what he said would be considered problematic today, but IMO the core of his speech rings very true.

The freest government, if it could exist, would not be long acceptable, if the tendency of the laws were to create a rapid accumulation of property in few hands, and to render the great mass of the population dependent and penniless.

In such a case, the popular power would be likely to break limit and control the exercise of popular power. Universal suffrage, for example, could not long exist in a community where there was great inequality of property. The holders of estates would be obliged, in such case, in some way to restrain the right of suffrage, or else such right of suffrage would, before long, divide the property. In the nature of things, those who have not property, and see their neighbors possess much more than they think them need, cannot be favorable to laws made for the protection of property. When this class becomes numerous, it glows clamorous. It looks on property as its prey and plunder, and is naturally ready, at all times, for violence and revolution.

Best 100% dedicated plex player (client) for 4k TV (lemmy.world)
 

I have a lovely plex server set up and working very well, with tons of content ready to play. Now I just need a client for my TV that doesn't piss me off. I absolutely detest Google/Android TV, and my Apple TV periodically wipes out my Plex preferences, which is a known issue.

I'd like to have a 100% dedicated plex client for my TV. I don't want or need it to do anything else at all, and it has to be totally remote friendly and capable of playing 4k/60 UHD content.

Any suggestions?
