If you don’t like videos, don’t watch videos.

How about letting those of us who enjoy video content, to continue to enjoy video content.

This shouldn’t be a “I don’t like it, so no one else should get it” situation. That’s some selfish bullshit.

If they don’t included tracking, recording, spying, and advertising, they’re premium at this point.

Here’s a comprehensive and up to date list of failed deliveries, so far.

It was active for about 3 months, until she broke the screen. I replaced her device and put the phone on the shelf. I replaced the screen and digitizer a year later when I needed a spare handset and they told me “it had never been on network” and was ineligible for being unlocked. Which is bullshit because the phone was bought and paid for at the time I purchased it in a box at the store with a prepaid card. As far as I’m concerned, straight talk still owes me 200$. Even if the phone was NEVER activated, I still own it outright, making it mine to do with what I please.

Not always true, I bought a smart talk phone for my kid and the phone was paid in full at the time of purchase. It’s still carrier locked 5 years later because they say “it wasn’t in service for x amount of time and therefore isn’t eligible”. I even reported this to the FCC, opened a case, and they did fuckall and closed the report.

Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It’s fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL VODKA STILLS

This brings them to about mid 90’s tech… They’ll be able to make microwave ovens, tamagotchis, and a counterfeit N64 that runs a game called “Mushroom Plumber 3D”

This was when BTC was like 5 cents and no one had learned this lesson yet.

Still looking for that backup of that disk with my bitcoin wallet from the early days… sadly probably gone forever.

Oh, things are way better now than they were back then. I’d still confirm via documentation that the interfaces are compatible :)

I was a poor college student and had access to engineering samples from a local manufacturer. Discarded parts gave me twin 15" LCDs for free in the mid 00’s. Also, to see if I could. It was a fun challenge. These are different revs of a controller that were outfitted in several slot machine prototypes. They gave me many years of service. I probably still have inkjet prints of the pinout and signal diagrams, somewhere.

I have rematched controllers to displays in the past. It’s neither simple nor easy. You’ll need to dig through spec sheets to ensure you’re sending the correct signals over the correct pinouts, at the correct frequencies and voltages. Be prepared to read some IO documentation for the sending and receiving chipsts, then verify pinouts with certainty. They are not always standard.

Here are 2 identical LCDs, with 2 very similar, nearly identical looking controllers. Note that one needed to be re-wired. It is not fun butt-connecting 2 dozen 28ga wires.

You think they’re going to send notices to ex-customers? I was an ATT customer for 2 decades and switched a few years ago. I’m wondering if I’m compromised, but won’t get notice because I’m not technically an active customer.

Put a dot of hot glue through it, then carefull trim the top with a small exacto knife.

My understanding is that Google “rates” its leaders by the number and types of projects they develop. Ergo there are a lot of people working on disparate items that often overlap, because it’s “their” project. Once the project completes, they get their credit, stop caring, and move on to the next. It is said this is why google creates then kills so much. It’s by design, essentially. The products they keep are the ones that make the most ad revenue.

Yeah. Even legacy stuff. Want to fire up that old server? Need new firmware for it? Guess what. Now it needs to be on contract or HP won’t lift a finger to give you old software they already have.

The day HP locked all firmware and driver downloads behind active contracts was the day I stopped buying it.

I can go on Dell’s website and download drivers for a server I bought in 2004. For free. By just putting the service tag in.

Don’t even get me started on HP’s partsurfer or warranty websites. It’s a mire of hundreds of subdomains, none of which are actually managed properly.

It’s no wonder they’re swirling the drain. They are blatantly anti-consumer and anti-corporation.

Yes. That would be in the past, making it foreshadowing.
