Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Time has not been kind to VHS: As tech turns 50, preservationists race to save material stored on vanishing format. Methods include … baking?English
15·2 days agoHuh. I have some VHS tapes I wouldn’t mind ripping. I have a vcr but I don’t think I have a way to capture the output. I’d better look into it sooner rather than later…

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Thirst Traps Over Think Tanks: Dems Want Hotter Candidates on the BallotEnglish
3·3 days agoHalf these “trends” that get articles are really just two people doing something stupid.
How many people were actually eating Tide pods? I seriously doubt more than a handful.
I can’t help but read these as though the characters are always yelling at each other. Bold, all caps text, that’s just how it comes across in my head. LIKE THIS.
One is my bank, so, kinda, yeah. That one just has the “active” triggers, so it’s easy enough to click-click and then login.
I forget what the other one I hit occasionally is, I just did it the other day, too. That one I actually have to type a character then delete it after the password manager fills in so I can log in.
I can’t figure out why they are doing this…I guess it’s so that you don’t accidentally try to log in before typing username and password, but…

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•FEMA Official Says He Teleported to Waffle House. Experts Are Dubious.English
5·4 days agoI thought the use of “dubious” was hilarious. It’s quite an understatement, like, “Yeah, that may not have happened,” avoiding calling him a liar directly, but conveying that it’s extremely unlikely.
The time and attendance software at my old job would do that. It took me a while to figure out that it wasn’t me forgetting the password, the password had just expired. Extremely frustrating.
I do, but more and more sites are unintentionally (or intentionally?) making them hard to use, by relying on Javascript triggers, like requiring typing in each field or at least putting each field into focus, before the “log in” button becomes active.
Damn, that’s unhinged. Thanks for the info.
Then what is helpful? Not this fucking comic.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•'StravaLeaks': France's aircraft carrier located in real time by Le Monde through fitness appEnglish
2·17 days agoThis sounds more like a run. I haven’t seen Strava record or report GPS data for just steps taken throughout the day. But runs, walks, bike rides, and other sports will often record GPS.
But the op is right - if the ship is moving, the athlete will get “credit” for additional distance traveled, or they’ll lose distance, depending on which way they are running compared to the ship’s direction of travel, possibly balancing out if one of the other reverses direction at the appropriate time.
This is an interesting spelling of “burger”.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Deaf woman removed from Frontier flight for "not listening"English
5·19 days agoI use Arch, by the way.
(I don’t, I used Debian. It just fit.)
Damn, aps support?! I assume you have to take the negatives out of the cartridge.
There’s a seller on ebay that 3D prints negative holders for the scanner I have, so for example I could scan the 110 cartridge (not the really old roll film) negatives I have. I wonder if he makes one to do APS.
But on the other hand, the APS camera I had was cheap, point and shoot, and the prints came back with a note that they were severely overexposed, so it probably wasn’t even working correctly. Not much point in spending money to save some forgettable shots of a local river.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump tells South Korea he is only leader who can break North Korean deadlockEnglish
4·24 days agoOh he can break the deadlock all right, no question there. The question is what happens after it’s broken. It’s probably not going to be good for South Korea. Remember how much he likes Kim Jong Un.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Hegseth Goes to War Against Photographers Taking Bad Pictures of HimEnglish
3·26 days agoGuarantee an hour or more of his day is spent in front of a mirror, every day.
Not surprising, considering his previous job was a talking head on Fox or something like that. Which, in what’s left of Trump’s mind, makes him totally qualified to be the Secretary of Defense.
Yeah. I don’t remember how many of the pictures I scanned were prints, but it was quite a few, maybe close to 1,000. As I said, just watched TV and did it. It’s pretty mindless once you get into the groove doing it.
Like I said before, I did try to find the negatives and scan those instead when possible. Better quality and more efficient. But for quite a few, no negatives. I also had to take pictures out of frames and stuff like that. My parents wedding picture was in a cardboard frame I had to disassemble carefully…

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Cybertruck Self-Destructs in Shallow Water… Leaving Questions About the Promised “Boat Mode”English
1·29 days agoThey’re aware, I’m sure, but there isn’t much they can do about it if they need to park there. Even Home Depot and Lowe’s have this issue.

I had no idea people hated Jazz music. I’m not a fan of it, and I don’t listen to it, but I don’t hate it.
Why would someone hate it? Unless you hang out on Bourbon Street, it seems easy enough to avoid…
