If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I wanted to say allergies, but I am not sure you mean abnormal stuff too.

Breathing otherwise. Annoying + can't stay underwater for long enough.

Though if add, direct thought + feeling sharing. Current communication is way too inefficient.

Well, not for KDE it seems.

I was referring to the ?i=number part, just like google uses si for YouTube.

Isn't it called Meta?

Now I wonder if there are motherboards with easily re-flashable firmware (from a read-only device that couldn't be tampered with).

Probably just an identifier for tracking who ran it.

Possibly.
BTW, certain malware may be able to break out of a VM.
On the other, some malware may recognize that it is being run in a VM and do absolutely nothing to avoid analysis.

Oh boy, you haven't met some Dell Optiplexes.

That shit, for whatever reason, can't boot from internal DVD drive. I tried with 2 of them. Both had functional drives, I tried disabling secure boot, enabling legacy boot and some other settings which seemed related, but nothing worked. Then for shits and giggles I tried a USB DVD drive and that worked just fine.

I mean, they have a hole in the middle, so if I stack them they let stuff pass.

Chonky phone rule (not OC - image source in post (files.catbox.moe)

Just another ridiculous device from Ulefone.
Unfortunately, I can only find its dimensions, but not weight. The thickness is whopping 3.4 cm (1.34 inch).

Currently I own a smaller one, Armor 24, which is still 2.75 cm (1.08 inch), but even that weights 647g (1.43 lbs).

I wonder if these brands like Ulefone, Doogee, Unihertz will reach the 1kg mark at some point.

Be ready to dial 911 if it falls on your face.

My earphones' cable has grown a pimple. It popped today. (i.imgur.com)

Image on left is from 4 days ago, but the pimple was slowly forming over around 2 weeks.

The goop was sticky, not oily. Earphones are Panasonic RP-TCM130.

I was not able to find an explanation.
Something to increase cable lifespan, lubrication, rubber disintegrating, sweat and earwax that somehow got into the cable, dielectric grease, SCP-1407, no clear answer.

At first I thought the wires just somehow twisted. Nope.

Soldered-on RTC batteries (with type covered as a bonus) (i.imgur.com)
 

This battery lasts the life of the router under the operating environmental conditions specified for the router, and is not field-replaceable.

But who determines its lifespan?

Knowing there is a battery set to fail and I can't simply replace it makes me physically uncomfortable. Enough so that I'd rather it not have RTC.

Thanks Cisco.

What are some (realistic) things you wanted to get for a while, just for fun? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I've got 3 on my list.

  1. BT-PAN Access Point - Kinda ridiculous, but I'd like to have one. I've also found a few BT-PAN-enabled dial-up modems, but I'd have no way to connect those up. Some of those could even be connected to USB printers for wireless printing. Not particularly useful anymore, I just find those devices interesting.
  2. Dot matrix printer - This one isn't even as ridiculous. I really love that sound and how the text they print looks. Sadly, if I am looking for new ones, a basic 9-pin Epson dot matrix is around €200. But the ribbons are cheap as chips. In fact, often even cheaper. Just imagine casually handing out a document printed on dot matrix to someone nowdays.
  3. Nano pocket drone - Something like FQ777-124. Maybe a toy like that is a bit childish, but it still can be fun. In fact I already tried to order this one. From 4 different sellers, twice on AliExpress, twice on Amazon. I never got it :(
