Probably end up with people checking their monitors so often that head on collisions increase.

Movie review time!Strangeland (1998)Did you know that Dee Snider (singer for Twisted Sister, but you knew that) wrote and starred in a movie? Did you know that it is impressively awful? Like, jawdroppingly bad?Now you do. I watched it so you don’t have to, but if you like shitty movies, you really should see this one.5/5 stars for being 100% fucking terrible.

@coolboymew I'm in solidarity with that. I'm not putting on pants just because someone rings my doorbell.

My #TinkerBoard and USB #FloppyDrive might arrive today! My plan is to put #mpd (music player daemon) on the Tinker Board, and put playlist files on the floppy disks. When a disk is inserted, mpd will automatically play the songs on the playlist.Phase 2 of this will be mounting it in the dashboard of my car. :-D#NerdLife #DIY

I'll use this thread to keep track of the build progress of the floppy disk activated jukebox.I installed the latest Armbian onto an SDCard and hooked up a monitor and mouse and keyboard. I had some problems updating packages: I got an error saying that the release key wasn't valid yet. I fiddled around, eventually installed NTP to sync the time and then it worked.Updated the system. Installing MPD now.

@brandon @hejo In many places CBD is available mail order or over the counter, as it has no controlled substances in it. In the US, chain pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens carry it.

@xenophora Just FYI zennioptical.com has, as far as I can tell, the cheapest glasses available in US. I have like 10 pair from them and no complaints.

@BalooUriza "[Tesla] is detecting the rain through its Autopilot cameras and automatically adjusting the speed based on the strength of the rainfall. If the driver wants to adjust the speed, they need to do it through the center touchscreen."LOL. What a Rube Goldbergian piece of shit!

Hooptie AC rebuild update!Flushed the AC evaporator in my venerable hooptie. I'm switching from R12 to R134a and the oils are incompatible, plus there was probably some grime, rust and remnants of the innards of previously seized compressors in there. A fucking mess came out! Horrifying and satisfying at the same time.Note to anyone doing this: remove your expansion valve, drill out the diaphragm and reinstall it. Now you can flush the evaporator way better!#DIY #MyHooptie #W123 #Benz

@PINE64 RE: "In fact, we expect modem features which work on the PinePhone will function on the PineTab fitted with the LTE expansion board."Does this mean PineTab will support SMS and VoLTE and can generally be used as phone? That would be amazing!!

@banjofox Looking forward to an alternative myself. It definitely isn't IOS, and so far, it isn't Linux either. :-(

@banjofox Definitely hoping Linux becomes a viable phone/tablet OS. I'm so tired of Google's bullshit. I have a PInephone, and last I checked, calling any of the OSes half baked was being generous. But I'm patient and I know there is a lot of work being done on it. The Pinetab will supposedly also work as a phone/LTE device, so that would actually be my dream phone, once the OS comes out of the oven.

@banjofox @msh Mobian looked the best of all the OSes I tried. However, it was missing 100% of the telephony features, and those are something I look for in a phone. It's been a few weeks though, maybe that works now.

@okl They're a super practical shape and I love that. I wanted a diesel 700 until I found out they had a Volkswagen engine. Ran away screaming and never looked back.

@okl For me the obvious alternative was a 1980's Mercedes diesel. The Mercedes 617 engine is remarkably engineered and built astoundingly well. The Volkswagen diesel engine in that Volvo is a cheaply made, indifferently designed piece of shit.
