People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set.
  • Well, not really. The cosmic microwave background radiation was a tiny fraction of that noise. What everyone saw was mostly thermal noise generated by the amplifier circuit inside the TV.

  • Elon Musk to lead new efficiency department named after his favourite cryptocurrency
  • We're in the one where Biff takes the Almanac back to the past.

  • Hyundai Is Bringing Back Buttons Because Touchscreens Are ‘Annoying’
  • I have a UFO Civic and, out of all the cars I've been in, it has hands down the best dashboard. Everything is tactile and arranged in a way that I don't have to look away from the road to adjust anything.

    Beyond tactile vs. touchscreen, I wish more manufacturers payed attention to ergonomics so I wouldn't have to reach into my ass to find the AC or the defogging button.

  • And guess what, that works.
  • No, most people just give up after seeing the price.

  • No ads here!
  • Fun little piece of trivia: Originally, nimrod used to mean "skillful hunter" (after Nimrod, the biblical figure) but then in 1940 Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer Fudd a “poor little nimrod", and kids of the time not knowing the reference, simply assumed it was an insult on Elmer's character.

    And that's how a cartoon rabbit single handedly changed the meaning of a word.

  • 3D printer maker Bambu Lab faces patent infringement lawsuits that could threaten hobbyist 3D printing in general
  • We have 3 Stratasys printers at work and yeah, you're absolutely correct.

    To add, their 'professional' slicer program "Insight" is the most user hostile piece of software I've ever laid my eyes on. Straight out of 1992 levels of awful. The workflow, the UI (if you can call it that), everything.

    The other 'user friendly' slicer is "GrabCAD Print", an Apple style piece of garbage. It lacks everything beyond basic functionality, yet lately they've been pumping it full of subscription locked features.

    Honestly, fuck this company.

  • What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.
  • Never had problem thawing store bought bread before.

    You have to put the bread in an airtight bag before freezing and let it completely thaw out in the bag before opening. This way the total moisture content within the bag will remain the same.

  • A cool guide about ADHD in the infographic
  • And let's see some statistics on those business owners.
    Are they actually successful, or just 3x more likely to start a business on impulse and then 5x more likely to go bankrupt because of ADHD?

  • A cool guide about ADHD in the infographic
  • It's also conveniently missing that adults affected by ADHD are up to 6x more likely to also have depression than adults without ADHD.
    Kind of an important point if you want your kid to actually live to adulthood.

  • Reddit CEO Defends His Absurdly High Pay While Not Paying Mods
  • I lived in both. Maybe I have more of an insight than you...

  • Reddit CEO Defends His Absurdly High Pay While Not Paying Mods
  • That's literally every system.
    Yes, communism too. Especially communism.

  • Dot matrix printer go EEEEEEEN-futfutfut-EEEEEEEEN-futfutfut...
  • It never went away.
    I can still hear incoming calls, texts, and tower pings with my headphones.

  • monster rule
  • Synthetic taurine is everywhere, just search Amazon. It's sold alongside vitamins.

  • People are noticing positive things about you
  • I was walking alone in an empty street during NYE when a random girl, who happened to come by, spread her arms and blocked my way in a playful manner.

    She only let me pass once I cracked a smile.
    It's been well over a decade, but I still remember her face.

    It was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.

  • I remember the most random things...
  • I’ve been eating the same exact thing for years now.

    Ok, is this also an adhd thing, because I've been doing the same and people around me keep commenting on it.

  • I thought I would buy a 3 kg spool because lazy, don't be me.
  • You'd probably have to keep tuning as the weight of the spool decreases.
    Its more practical to print a spool holder with bearings for it. Thingyverse has some good ones

  • ...
  • Yes, some of us got this email on Monday.
    Pretty sure most old and/or active accounts received this regardless of being mods, though.

  • PowerDeleteSuite still works for nuking your Reddit history
  • Cool, you managed to get it working after all. I never used Power Shell before this either.
    It's ridiculous the average user has to jump through all these hoops just to regain control of their own data.

  • PowerDeleteSuite still works for nuking your Reddit history
  • That's strange. It took me a while to figure out as well, but then worked non-stop for an entire day.

    This is what I ran:

    C:\Users\workPC\Documents\reddit-data\shreddit-windows.exe --username blah --password blah --client-id blah --client-secret blah --gdpr-export-dir C:\Users\workPC\Documents\reddit-data\export_blah_20240225

    It's possible reddit is rate limiting you, or the program loses access to the gdpr folder it's pulling the links from (antivirus?). You could try running it from a different path or on a different pc.
    I ran the .exe from the same "reddit-data" folder that contained the gdpr files just to be safe with folder permissions and stuff.
