awk is pretty damn solid. When I was completely rewriting the gravity.sh script from Pi-hole about six years back, it was easily the fastest for parsing and uniquely sorting content from files with a couple million lines. It made things much more usable on Raspberry Pi Zero hardware, since changing to another language like Python was out of the question.

My only complaint about BCU is that its portable edition isn’t a single standalone EXE. Makes it a nuisance compared to HiBit Uninstaller.

Oh no, I’m talking outright wrecked — you can see damaged pins upon observation.

(To be clear to the downvoters, I see this in my job where I repair consumer tech. I’ve clarified in my original post since some people seem to think I’m arguing exclusively in favour of lightning, or maybe think I’ve seen this on my own devices?)

I clean out densely compacted pocket lint frequently out of customer devices. One needle nose tweezer end for extracting the bulk, then isopropyl on a thin lint free cloth pushed in with a small piece of plastic to determine what’s left inside that isn’t easily visible. Typically makes the port look as good as new.

The amount of USB type ports I’ve seen where the ‘tongue’ has been absolutely mangled is mind boggling — an issue that Lightning completely bypassed.

For example, I’m repairing some kids PS5 and both back USB ports have had their pins twisted and the plastic snapped off. The HDMI port pins are lifting from the mainboard and the front of the unit is scratched to high hell. I see some of the worst treated tech at my job, and those plastic bits get damaged a lot. While Apple needed to move to USB-C six years ago with the iPhone X, I will respect Lightning for this one thing.

Hilariously, I find the Pi-hole feature “disable for 5 seconds” often works because it’ll be down for long enough to load the page but not the ads.

Reseat graphics card in the PCI-E slot, then test with a replacement GPU or onboard graphics.

Anyone else getting Jonas Quinn vibes from Stargate?

Turns out the answer to 30 to 50 feral hogs was to make love, not war.

Looks like an A4H2O, which is basically the purrfect little hotbed.

Bruce Lee wanted his article to be Spruce-ee

100% Imagus, I can pick that spinning ball of doom from out of a lineup anytime.

ASUS still ironing out the wrinkles 20 years later…

Colonel, I’m dummy-thicc but the crack of my kneecaps keeps alerting the guards!

But does it ship with an NPC with a planet as a hat?
