Hard to say, but good curious question…

Yep, been there, tried that. I used to work as a mobile device hardware tech for over a decade, though I didn’t exactly get the opportunity to experiment with every device that came across my bench ya know…

Now that’s a legit idea!

I don’t exactly have spare devices to experiment with, but that’s an awesome idea 👍

My question/idea is to repurpose old devices for home use, even after the battery done went to shit…

Whatever devices that can function without a battery at all would be ideal. You know, something you can use at home to watch videos or whatever…

Nope, so far never seen one work that way, and both me and my roommate have phones with removable batteries, so of course I’ve tried, but no dice, they instantly shut off when power is plugged in but you remove the battery :(

Nah, more thinking towards repurposing old devices with bad batteries for around the house permanently plugged in, without any battery at all.

Not every device absolutely has to be portable, but sadly in all my years of tech, so far (to my knowledge), have I ever run across a mobile device that’ll function without a battery :(

This is unfortunate, but now I’m curious…

Does this raise or lower the price of The Holy Masonic Bible?

I have one (English, not French), I don’t need it though.

The three basic requirements to get a patent are…

• New
• Useful
• Not Obvious

Nintendo can go kindly fuckoff.

I would go back to 1955 (yes, kinda ironic to think of it), with more modern medical instruments, anesthesia, sterilization, etc, and try to save my Baby Blue uncle who I was named after. He was born with his intestines on the outside and only lived one day ☹️😭

Yeah I’m no medical expert nor surgeon, but holy shit he might have had a better chance with more modern medical equipment and knowledge, I would have surely tried to do my most cautious best…

Heads up OP, while your pet may be naturally prone to epilepsy, seizures or other neurological disorders, it could actually be something in their diet that you might not be aware isn’t safe for your pet.

I learned quite a bit about this after the one and only time our dog had a seizure and went doing some research. The day before, a friend of ours casually gave our dog some rather tasty pork, cooked along with onions, garlic and other mystery spices he refused to reveal.

Apparently that was a BIG mistake! Onions and garlic are on the list of dangerous foods for dogs, and around half the list of dangerous foods list side effects such as seizures…

After studying this list and being more careful what he is and isn’t allowed to eat, he hasn’t had any seizures since then.

Of course, if you’re asking about another sort of pet such as a cat or whatever, make sure to do similar research on what is and isn’t safe for your pet in particular to eat.

I think the context of ‘would say’ should be extrapolated as ‘would go on to say’ or ‘later said’.

Either something like that, or bullshit, but I think the former.

Oh shit, interesting. I’m in a different state, so she’s not much on my radar, but would you have a link?

Check the full article (linked within the posted shorter article) and you’ll find this…

"About an hour into the visit, a staff member approached someone on the security detail and “asked to encourage” the governor to leave, “as she had finished dining,” according to the statement.

Since the restaurant has a 90-minute table limit, the security detail was approached a second time and asked to leave roughly 10 minutes before that time limit.

As they were leaving, the governor’s staff said that a man allegedly yelled, “it’s time to go,” and then proceeded to make a crude hand gesture in the governor’s direction. The Croissanterie would say that man was a customer and not an employee."

Yeah, she just found out, that not only do people disagree with her views, she’s also not special and not above the rules. Get gone, bye Felicia…

When I’m almost certain it’s a scammer calling, I’ll answer as professionally as I can as if I’m running a business…

“Thank you for calling Ding Dong Double Dildos and Dirty Devices! How would you like to fuck yourself today?”

They usually just hang up and remove the number from the call list LMFAO! 😂🤣

I actually did this for my mom one day, scammers had been calling her left and right. She found it quite hilarious too, and by the next day, more than half the scammers quit calling 👍

Edit: Merry Christmas! This is how you fuck the scammers…

Companies that change their names usually do so to avoid class action lawsuits and/or to get out of obligations they previously made with their customers.

Edit: I probably should have posted that as a top level comment, but oh well, I’m leaving it here.

I dunno, exploding golf ball maybe?

Disclaimer: Nope, I’m not gonna do that, nor am I making any serious suggestions.

If the compressed files are of the same/similar format, more compression is possible as the algorithm can detect more related patterns to compress.

But if you toss in a variety of file formats, compression will tend to suffer more.

Sometimes, the easiest way is just to try and see, different formats lend themselves to better or worse compression.

The files that tend to be worst at compression are the ones that are already compressed themselves.

Works fine here. Have you tried Tor Browser and/or a VPN?

For reference, I’m now 43 years old.

Around 20 years ago, around age 23, I decided to keep my wallet in my right front pocket, 24/7, save for bathing and clothes changing. Yes I do sleep with my wallet in pocket, it never leaves my vicinity.

I keep my wallet where it can’t easily be stolen, right next to the family jewels ya know…
