  • Though not every fail state is going to show up. If you start seeing weird intermittent behaviour from a drive, for goodness sake find a way to back it up immediately.

    My mum’s new nuc started having some issues, SMART showed perfect drive health. After trying a few things to diagnose, I rebooted to run memtest and check for bad ram, and that was the last time it ever booted into windows. Controller or something on the nvme ssd died. Far too expensive to try and repair for data recovery. Thankfully had a… Somewhat recent backup. Not as recent as we would have liked.






  • Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved stale rice crackers. Specifically, the stage of staleness where they’re no longer super crunchy and have started going slightly rubbery (if they go past that, it’s no longer good). Something about the texture/mouthfeel is great to me. I used to leave my rice crackers to age before eating them. I don’t do it as much anymore because I still like them well enough crunchy and I don’t have the patience for it.

    Other than that, I do enjoy putting a salted cracker in a sweet sandwich (jam, nutella, lemon curd, etc) to add some nice crunch. Works just as well with savoury sandwiches, but I think that’s less weird.



  • The redesign was garbage ux from the start and they ignored absolutely all feedback for years. It was fundamentally flawed from the very beginning and they buried their heads in the sand because they knew most people would still use it.

    Most people seemed to use the official app anyway, which is even worse, so I don’t see many people changing over this. I was one of the people who said when old Reddit was gone so was I, I just didn’t expect them to do something worse before that time came.

    I’ve said it for years on Reddit and I will continue saying it here on lemmy. I miss Pebble.

    I use a galaxy watch 4 now but while it can do some more thing it still doesn’t fully match the functionality of my pebble time. So many stupid software limitations that shouldn’t exist.

    If the battery hadn’t degraded I’d still be using it.

    I’ve looked at fossil multiple times and they’ve never matched the functionality I need. No current watches really do.


  • I’ve warned basically everyone to temper their expectations with palword cause I played their previous game which absolutely is just a janky ass asset flip, but palworld is actually slightly more competent and has been a bit enjoyable. Despite the crap with the differences between steam and game pass versions, I mean.

    The discourse around the game has been baffling. First of all, anyone bringing up AI… Like… What? I’m not sure what they think current AI models do. And even the criticisms I agree with - some of the designs are straight up just the bottom half of one pokemon with the top half of another - are absolutely demented. I saw a long thread talking about certain pals and what pokemon they were ripping off and a good portion of them were wrong (it was ripping off a totally different pokemon) or not knowing about the base (usually Japanese) thing that both designs were based off of. Some people have just gone absolutely fucking rabid. I don’t understand how they live like this.





  • I started a new playthrough when phantom liberty released and I feel like I’ve had more game-breaking bugs than I did at launch. The ones I had at launch were mostly cosmetic, animation bugs, t-posing, Jackie eating his noodles with chopsticks that left a clone of themselves in the box, etc. This time I had to reload saves because, for example, Jackie just didn’t get in my car at the start and so it never unlocked the controls so I was just stuck in a car forever.

    That being said, the gameplay systems are massively improved, even if it still can be a bit buggy, and it’s well worth a play. I just need to wait for mods to update for 2.1.
