people always say this, but 95% of what i print is index and reference cards that need colour :( I would love to get a B&W printer, but i need the colours.

Yes. Co-worker got a super cheap printer, and then tried to cancel the ink subscription. turns out he couldn’t just buy ink from them, and his printer was useless.
Those things are not good. They are basically advanced fans. The entire “hot side” is still 8naode your house, and whole it has the hose to pump hot air out, essentially more air (normally from outside, which will be hot) has to come in to replace it. Ultimately thosw machines will make your house hotter, even if they are able to blow cold air on a specific area.
Strangely the old American style ones they hang out of a window are some.of the most effective, though we don’t really have any windows like that in Europe anymore to hang those AC units out.
Ah I see you work in my work places wage and bonus calculation department.
Utter shocked Pikachu face. its a concept that has been around for 100 years, and no-one did it before for a big reason.
“would you like to receive notifications in your browser from this site?”
No. No I would not.
Exclusive optimisation is amazing. Some of the games they squeezed out of some consoles is amazing. I can’t believe tears of the kingdom runs so well on the switch. There was also an amazing PS2 game called “black”.
I have never pre-ordered a game.
I have however pre-ordered collectables which “come with a game” (despite the collectables likely being more than the game) or the privilege of being able to hang out with my friends at midnight to collect a game on release. And of those games Halo 2, Halo 3, and Battlefield 3 were the only 3.
These days there is even less reason to pre-order, but where I lived and the local small game shop, sometimes the only way to get a game within the first MONTH of release was a pre-order, where the store would literally… Pre order. Its not a pre-order for you at the store, its the store ordering it from the distributor / publisher.
The very first game i ever purchased on Steam was a game where i went in for the 3rd week in a row and they said “sorry, still not had any come in for re-stock”.
And now even more than ever is a BETTER time to pre-order. “Back in my days” good fucking luck being able to return a game if the 7 seals of security purity were not damaged. now, almost universal refunds for digital goods from most of the major game platform hosts.
Sadly here a huge amount of government is entirely online. Even 4 years ago when I wanted to do my passsport, because of my age bracket, I was not allowed to use a paper or internet method. I HAD to use a web app, and then with the app someone had to take a photo of me for the picture. No “send a photo in” no email the photo.
It couldn’t be your normal passport photo eaither, full waist up photo, with full white background and neutral lighting… It was completely impossible.
It how swift it has been. Friend and I went to a “mall” we hadn’t been to since we were kids. He pointed out "holy crap, this is where it used to be rows and rows of payphones. Even in 2010 I didn’t have a mobile, and only got one as all the payphones vanished.
Now so many things require an app or online sign-up.
ET scared the crap out of me.
For me the “shoot her” scene at the start was the scariest. How quickly it flips from “hehe gotcha, you thought it was a dinosaur but it was just a crate” to utter human terror as they try to save someone from an unseen monster
When musk hired ex NASA or VW employees 👍
When other companies hire ex twitter / Tesla staff 😡😤😡
why are they blue!!!
Literally chose not to buy a powerbank because the power button flashed blue as bright as possible. my PC has blue LED’s on the front for status indicators, and i put some black nail polish over them to block out about 80% of the light.
Don’t feel too bad. Whatever the occasion it is acceptable to wear trousers. We can wear the same thing 50 times to 50 events and society won’t care
Proper fitting ones are also very comfortable. While the range of men’s clothing at supermarkets and bigger clothes stores is generally a lot less than women’s clothes, specialised men’s clothes shops and tailoring is much more common for men than women.
It just takes men a much longer time tomdoscover clothes that fit. Late 20’s when I discovered it, and early 30’s I have found what fits, and dye it to suit what colour I want!
Why is everyone celebrating that companies are starting to keep voice recordings and chat records of users? It is mad.
Fusion 360: we have unnecessarily decided to force you to use the cloud for this product
Also Fusion 360: *Noooo all you free users are using up too much of our server space, you will have to pay.
Here is an idea, let me run it on my PC and it won’t use any of your servers
Counter shower thought, I’m not even close to dating Lemmy. I spent 2 years getting to know Reddit, it will take me as long, if not longer due to Lemmy not being as mature as resdit was.
Right now, lemmy is the stranger at the train station asking why I am crying. It might turn into something, or I may just lean into Facebook / Instagram / YouTube / discord more.
He really cared. He was then transferred to another store (even further from home) to try and improve their performance, and I heard about half the staff quit when he went. There was another manager from another branch who would visit a lot to cover for him, and everyone expected she would be the replacement… and she wasn’t. She was also really good. An unexpectedly good management team that actually cared and helped. The real “its super busy, I will take my suit jacket off and join you on the shop floor” kinda team.
Maybe not the same, as its more of a service contract. At work, we have had a site which has been closed for 2 years. for 2 whole years, every week the vending machine company arrive, try to get in, can’t, ring us, and we say “that site is closed”.
Well we finally after 2 years got them to remove that site from their system?
Their response? to remove ALL food from ALL vending machines at all our sites, to remove the coffee machines, and to remove the water coolers. The water coolers are especially egregious, as they just sit there doing nothing. they are from tap water, so not even replacing bottles etc.
Sometimes subscriptions are useful. I wish the BBC TV licence in the UK was a subscription. I cannot justify spending £150 on a licence for an entire year, just to watch a month of shows. but other times it sucks. I just want Microsoft office. I don’t care if it will cost me £200. Right now my favourite game is subscription based, but i don’t think i can justify the £9.99 a month, or £50 for a whole year. £50 for lifetime access? maybe.
