They are external ports for water cooling. They allow you to run the pipes to an exterior location, and I have never seen anyone use them ever. I would leave the rubber grommet as it generally looks nicer than the hole.

• Convert it into 1,500 pennies
• Fashion a slingshot from a balloon, tube, and some tape.
• Have fun shooting cans, balloons, people, etc.

I’m not certain I want to know what this means. I kinda love the idea that this is just an idiom that is or was common. Is it modern? Ancient? Could be either, could be both!

Frustratingly, those are actually two separate plans.

Data is beautiful.

In much the way I am aware of the Windows store: I avoid it and work to get the software directly from the source. I regularly run into the issue of software not being there or being of unknown version.

Perhaps that is some bias from Windows following me over.

I’m literally trying to get into Linux and one of the first things was installing software, which involves copying and running random bits of code from whatever website has the highest search result. I would say a lot of software is running code you have no idea what it does.

Every station I have gone to with them has had the mute button labeled or at least functional. If they didn’t, I would never return.

The only time they are useful is when they offer a coupon for something I was already going to buy, but that happens so infrequently I’d rather have my attention back.

The idea of a standardized container that is so sexy. Bonus points if it comes in a variety of sizes that perfectly scale and tesselate together.

I tried out podman at first, but I found many docker instances simply provide a string of crap instead of explanations. It was easy to get a grasp of how docker worked, and now that I have an idea I feel like I could jump into podman better.

The moves only make sense if you know what game they’re playing. In this case, there aren’t any ads in the comments, so why would they want you to spend time there?

The return of the oral tradition to pass information down. Everything is volatile and contingent on there being a discord server with people who can tell you about it.

That feels like it should be illegal.

Fuck future tech news, accept current news, praise analytical news based on historic data.

Oh, absolutely, but it’s better to escalate. Sometimes you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Being polite costs you nothing but may buy you much.

The suffix “gaming” implies bright colors, low quality, and a higher price tag. It’s right next to “premium” for identifying garbage products.

Also, I’ve had so many cheap chairs in my life that just failed. The “leather” peels, the gas lift breaks, or the seat cushion wears out and causes pain and discomfort.

That said, you can buy new gas lifts to fix a sinking chair very cheap and buy additional cushions to reduce pressure. If you can’t afford a good chair, don’t keep buying new bad ones!

They likely had Spectrum as an Internet provider, but left them for a better one. Spectrum sends lots of spam in an attempt to bring them back like an ex-lover trying to win them back.

Because then words like “evidence” and “premeditated” get thrown around.

I’ve been using Shred to wipe things at work. I give it seven passes of random, then a pass of zeros. Probably overkill, but everything is going to surplus auctions and some of the data is sensitive.
