I second the desk chair as a fat crippled IT worker that spends 10+ hours a day in a desk chair. I used to get a new $500ish chair every 3 or so years when it fell apart. This last time I saved up and dropped about 2.5k on a really nice chair rated for 24/7 use by someone much heavier than I am and it’s a life changer for my back, and this thing should last a lot longer
I ran an Apple TV in the living room for a long time to access my Plex server and whatever subscription my wife has this month. As time went on it got more and more glitchy until it came to the point where I had to power cycle the thing every few days. Replaced it with a cheap fire stick, annoyed the crap out of me. Replaced that with a cheap Roku, it was only slightly better than the shitty firestick.
My wife got me the NVIDIA shield pro for Christmas this year, and I picked up the p2920 controller for it. My god this thing is awesome - not only is it the best tv box I’ve ever used, I can use moonlight to play games on my rig or GeForce now to stream games. I highly recommend this thing
Not paying them means you are not supporting them
In our society piracy is always justified
Fuck every last one of these corporations
Nowhere, not rich enough to be able to donate when we can barely cover our own expenses
Yeah you can have YouTube premium and also use an ad blocker…. Being mad at YouTube is just the hot thing right now
It’s backwards lol. We want windows stuff to work in Linux so we have a stable system that can do everything we need, instead they gave us Linux on top the unstable pile of shit we all hate
I use old iPhones as video baby monitors in much the same way with an app called AlfredCamera, works pretty good for a free app on scrap hardware
But then TikTok would be on my vlan….no….
I have a pihole, I love it. My wife hates it so much I made her her own Wi-Fi network on her own vlan that’s isolated from the rest of the network and uses Google dns. My wife likes to click ads and watch TikTok and all that shit is blocked on my network
A little late guys…… already bought the game on the blizzard launcher and installed it on the deck that way. Then I played through the campaign, that was fun. Then I got to the seasonal content (that I was looking forward to as someone with hundreds of hours in Diablo 3) and I uninstalled it
If I get the itch again I’ll fire up 3.
lol just buy a house and stop complaining it’s so easy, said the completely out of touch boomer
Personally I think we should just put all the boomers in a fucking concentration camp for what they’ve done to our society. That will solve this issue as well
You can install Cygwin in windows and do everything you list but if you don’t NEED windows for something why use it?
I mean then go ahead waste your resources lol
Meanwhile on earth we are slowly but surely making a livable planet a barren wasteland
For money
For like 400 massive douchebags
Yeah, the brand I went with was concept seating. I’m about 6’7” around 400 pounds - fat gut, big bones, decent amount of muscle - was a lineman before I got crippled. I am 100% a fatass, no excuse, but also big in other dimensions as well. Most chairs, even the big and tall ones from staples and the like, will get a bit of a gangster lean after a year or so of use as the chairs base plate slowly warps and tack welds come loose. You can grind it down and patch up the welds, but not much to be done about the plate warp. The concept seating chair I got has a massively thick base plate that seems like it will hold up to a lot more. One other thing I really like about the one I got is that it doesn’t have the most common failure point, the piston. Instead it has a fuck off huge solid threaded shaft that you use to screw the chair to the right height then lock it with a massive lock washer. Additionally it doesn’t recline or move in any other way other than to spin and roll. You can loosen bolts to adjust the fit then tighten them back up, but nothing is easily adjustable with levers and stuff which I love because those are just failure points and I’d much rather spend the time to set it up once Ave never worry about it again
