My Gmail account has the Inactive Account Manager thing turned on so if I don’t use my account for 6 months it’ll email my wife my Bitwarden master password and instructions to get my self-host nerd into it where he can then do whatever he wants with it.

I set that as my status in Teams along with a little message “Please don’t just say hi. I might not see your follow up” and checked the box to make it show on chats. It’s definitely helped. Also got someone to complain that I was ignoring them, but they just said “hi” and nothing else so my boss sided with me that they were wasting my time without actually asking a question.

Why do you say that? Valve’s last two VR headsets had full color cameras.

If you do want to still use your personal phone and are on Android, use Shelter to make a Work profile and install Teams into that. Then it will install the Intune app just on your Work profile. You can turn work apps off with one button, and it gives your work zero access to your personal side of the phone.

Yeah I would, but this song literally never plays anywhere so I’ve been safe so far.

I’ve been using this song as my phone alarm for the past 20 years because of its stepped increase in intensity at the beginning. Usually I wake up before the shakers come on. I know I was in a deep sleep if the first “Baba Yetu” hits.

This illustration looks a lot like my dog.

Dog tax:

Get UFO 50 and get 50 games in one.

You try the freezer trick? If not, put it in a plastic bag in the freezer for a few hours. The cold can make some things work a bit better and maybe for long enough to recover what you need. Doesn’t always work but it’s cheaper than professional data recovery.

New guy at work’s legal name is Emilejustin, and goes by Justin. Effectively the Emile is silent.

2006, the year the PS3 came out. I asked for one and they were sold out everywhere. We were out shopping and I finally got my hands on a 20GB one, and my mom refused to buy it. She said she knew I had asked for the 60GB model and thought we’d find one eventually. I was devastated because I knew there was no way we’d find one anywhere before Christmas.

I woke up Christmas morning at like 2AM and opened the box over the tree, and it was a 60GB model. My parents had a friend the next state over who was able to find one, and they had already hidden it in the attic by the time I had found that 20GB one, so my mom had to make up excuses not to buy another one.

I plugged it in so it could start updating, then put it back in the box so I could “open” it in front of the family once everyone else was awake.

Ditto Boost. I have accounts on Lemmy and PieFed both on the same app.

Echoing what others have said, a “gaming distro” really isn’t necessary. I have used Ubuntu for years on and off. When I switched my gaming PC to Linux earlier this year I went with Kubuntu, because it’s just Ubuntu and I like KDE Plasma better than Gnome. I do feel like Ubuntu is one of the easiest to find support for when you’re looking online.

I’ve been doing this with Flashlight Tiramisu for years. Even replaced the quick settings button with one that opens that app instead of I long press it. Good that it’s baking into the OS though. Mostly mentioning for anyone who doesn’t want to wait.

I use Abraham Linksys, even now that I’ve moved on from Linksys routers (mostly too lazy to update all my IoT devices).
