No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come Dish Network or other satelite services. Do not allow you to create a playlist? Like if I record 5 different episodes of Sunday Morning why cant I just put it on play and it goes thru each?
1·16 hours agoOh I wasn’t suggesting it as a fix. Just saying what you’re describing was kinda possible in the 90s. Like others mentioned your provider may have a DVR solution capable of it, but I’ve never seen one. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

1·2 days agoIt was possible to setup your VCR to record at specific times. The fancy ones could even change the channel for it.

well, everclear is a reasonable antiseptic. So maybe they cancel each other out?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What to do with a 10-year-old Macbook Air?
9·11 days agoCould put the latest available OSX on it and sell it for $300. People buy old apple stuff like vintage clothes.
I was one of those gold & white people.
We have a real winner here 🫡
Looks like you’re referring to the laptop version of these parts.
The 1650 was a weird chip for an gone era. But I’d expect it to work, marginally less performance to the 1060.
If you have a thunderbolt port you could look into using an Intel b580 in an egpu case if shopping for another system is out of the question. (Bad market currently)
I understand that. It’s just that this entire argument doesn’t qualify. The OS has no out of spec influence over the modem due to its design. Its entirely self-contained component with its own firmware and driver stack. The OS is at the mercy of the modem’s firmware and that firmware prevents this exact scenario described.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•W10 EoL and possibly switching to Linux (various tech questions)
2·1 month agoSteam makes OS unique modifications to the game, trying to share the same game drive between them causes an update war and corruption.
I’ve tried it a few times, never goes well long term. Generally, I partition the drive and only use windows for problematic games like pubg.
Also, if you enjoy workshop features in games with a native Linux version like Left4Dead 2 or Garry’s mod. I would recommend you force the windows version by selecting proton in the compatibility section under properties for that game. Some workshop mods don’t play nice on Linux and its like playing whack-a-mole solving it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it reasonable to be concerned about security issues when switching to Linux?
14·1 month agoMost Linux malware comes from community repos and fake GitHub style projects.
The default package repositories in all the major distributions are safe. Some examples to be worried about are pip packages and the AUR if you’re using Arch.
My first programming language was qbasic as well. Fond memories of that.
Vet third party sources, just like you would have on windows.

3·1 month agoSomething I want to tag on for anyone pondering this.
Steam on Linux will be unstable if you try to use your NTFS drive for games. As the support of the filesystem isn’t consistent.
That’s a bit of a huge stretch.
People can load custom operating systems on their computer all they want without turning their wifi and Bluetooth adapter into a two way software defined radio.
You got me curious, looks like it became a standard in 2021. Pretty old for a performance laptop but I’d imagine that it took awhile for the manufacturers to catch up. Thanks
For anyone curious https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/usb/the-usb-power-delivery-pd-specification-everything-you-need-to-know-about-usb-pd
That’s a goofy design choice.
The standard is capable of 240w
One cigarette a month is probably a reasonable limit.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a font/typeface designing program that is available for Windows or Linux that supports creation of variable fonts and OpenType features?
0·9 months agoSo, this is out of my element. But does Inkscape work for you?
I found this page where some people are talking about it.



I wish this was true lol
