bsagdiyev··on A mysterious kidney disease has arrived in Texas
Please do not refer to us as "latinx". That's disgusting.
bsagdiyev··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
Seconded. I just got a Strix Halo box a few months back and it is great. Does everything I need it to.
bsagdiyev··on Nanobrew: The fastest macOS package manager compatible with brew
> power user tool like homebrew.

That makes no sense then. A power user may still want to run older OS versions for a reason. Take the training wheels off it and then it'll be a power user tool.

bsagdiyev··on Growing up in “404 Not Found”: China's nuclear city in the Gobi Desert
There's also Truth or Consequences, NM named after a game show (I believe?)
bsagdiyev··on CachyOS: Fast and Customizable Linux Distribution
Yep that's it! I ended up just buying a headset for gaming, since I use the other one for mostly music anyways. Solved the issue there. There were some workarounds I could try but I needed a new gaming headset anyways, the padding on my old one basically just fell apart after almost 7 years.
bsagdiyev··on CachyOS: Fast and Customizable Linux Distribution
Just an anecdote but I've been running it for a few months now and at least for gaming it works well. Arc Raiders plays fantastically. There is an issue with one of my headsets that when you get in game the audio quality drops to dogshit but I think that's a bigger issue with the headset on Linux and not particular to Cachy.

bsagdiyev··on Anthropic sent takedown notice to dev trying to reverse-engineer its coding tool
Archive.org copy of the repo's main branch: https://web.archive.org/web/20250227111657/https://codeload....
bsagdiyev··on T-Mobile Opens Cellular Starlink Beta to AT&T and Verizon Users, Reveals Pricing
Yep, I lived in an apartment off Poway Rd (Sabre Springs) and we were perfectly placed in a valley where cell had "signal" but didn't work very well if at all.
bsagdiyev··on VW Group Collects Vehicle Movement Data
That's a very CA viewpoint. I moved from CA to NC and as long as the onboard computer isn't throwing a code and your emissions stuff (appears to be) in place they don't care. I have two vehicles that are tuned and they pass emissions no problem. They can see this (different means per manufacturer, I think BMW throws an invalid checksum and Ford does it by key trigger count or something) but since the vehicles are still blowing clean it's fine.

We just had a few counties discontinue emissions checks and now only do safety checks up to 30 years past which they don't inspect at all.

bsagdiyev··on Breaking the 4Chan CAPTCHA
Is the anontalk guy still up to his shenanigans? It's admittedly been a very long time since I've used 4chan.
bsagdiyev··on Halide rejected from App Store because it doesn't explain why it takes photos
If the reviewer simply looked at the app description or opened the app they would have that context. Not hard. Just laziness.
bsagdiyev··on Google Pixel 9 Pro
I'm in Android 15 beta with my P8P. Zero issues. So where are the problems I'm supposed to have?
bsagdiyev··on Tesla Settles Fatal Crash Suit Ahead of California Trial
You couldn't pay me to buy that shit. There are other electric options that make more sense.
bsagdiyev··on Tom Waits vs. Frito-Lay, Inc (2003)
Huh TIL, I like the song in question interestingly enough (Yung Gravy - Betty) but didn't know that the Rick Astley bit wasn't actually his voice.
bsagdiyev··on Designed to Crash: the story of Antonov An-28 HA-LAJ and its demise
Agreed, the first (and only!) time I went skydiving we jumped from 12k feet and can't recall feeling any difference in my conscious state.
bsagdiyev··on Apple apologizes for iPad 'Crush' ad that 'missed the mark'
From upset to upset I suppose. Being perpetually upset has to be tiring.
bsagdiyev··on Who Wants to Be a Thousandaire? (2011)
I got one of those bills as change on NAVSTA Rota back in the early 2000s, it was neat to see the path it took.
bsagdiyev··on Helldivers 2 Removed from Purchase on Steam in over 150 Countries
When I worked at SIE in San Diego the culture was still there, and very much so. Location does not matter.
bsagdiyev··on The IMEI Code: Your phone’s other number
800-444-4444 still works. Even starts with "thank you for calling MCI"
bsagdiyev··on Tesla recalls all cybertrucks for faulty accelerator pedals
"Damage caused by car washes is not covered by the warranty." in the owners manual seems to contradict that statement.
bsagdiyev··on Mirantis K8s Lens closed its source
Also interested in other tools. I don't mind working on the command line but Lens (and OpenLens later on) has been my tool of choice for keeping an eye and managing on our K8s stuff.
bsagdiyev··on Limited Run gives digital games a physical legacy
Their physical store is pretty awesome, ended up buying a boxed copy of Toejam and Earl for PC there.
bsagdiyev··on Comcast reluctantly agrees to stop its misleading "10G Network" claims
To Spectrum's credit they seem to be doing a lot of fiber for new builds. Our 1gbit plan is symmetric and pulls those speeds consistently, but yeah their coax footprint is stuck with lower upload, high/low split coax areas should see 500mbit upload at some point but who knows. The state of internet in the US is awful in most places.
bsagdiyev··on Microsoft Edge ignores user wishes, slurps tabs from Chrome without permission
If you want avoid using activation scripts, build an enterprise ISO with UUPDump and then use vlmcsd to activate it. All I can say is that way has worked for about 5 years so far with no issues...
bsagdiyev··on My 30-Year Quitting Addiction
And dreams even years later about having a cigarette and then waking up and wanting a cigarette... I started smoking around 13 or 14 and quit at 27. Still have those dreams once in a while seven years later.
bsagdiyev··on How Australia’s ‘Bluey’ conquered children’s entertainment
Yep, our son has learned he can "throw" his farts toward our noses with his hands and does it every. damn. time. It is hilarious but man that kid is stinky.
bsagdiyev··on Archive of 240 quake 1 bots
There's alot of neat Quake stuff on Github. Another repo of interest may be this one: https://github.com/SpiritQuaddicted/quake-code-archives -- I have a local copy of tons of RuneScape code: server implementations, clients, bots, etc. May need to get it presentable and posted up sometime.
bsagdiyev··on Fewer people are buying electric cars in the US
Yeah that drive already sucks, stopping more than necessary would make it worse. We drive from Raleigh to around State College a few times a year and usually make one stop to eat and stretch our legs. A four year old and a dog sitting around waiting for a charge would add on to that stress.
