e-waste go brrrrrrr
  • Depends - average would probably be about 2-3 hours? Not great but not awful for my use.

    I could replace the battery and improve this - ifixit sell the kits - but currently I have no need.

  • My mid 2013 MacBook air sees more use than any of my other devices.

    I bought it for £100 a few years back and haven't looked back.

    What am I supposed to do with all this blood now?
  • Ore forebears' masters were money-grubbing cunts, this is true. Let's not pretend old matey in the pits was actively participating in the enactment of policies which caused death and emigration on scales unbeknownst before.

    Our masters are now too, but at least they pretend not to be. Although they still don't teach kids about the empire properly.

    Favorite ways to light up your bike in the winter?
  • I'll never understand people who run white lights on the rear of their bikes.

    Your reply is, from the perspective of a driver and a cyclist, the best advice.

    I'd add that if you can afford it a jacket from proviz is an absolute life saver - as soon as any light hits then in the dark you become a beacon.

    I do not feel serenity.
  • Well put.

    Sometimes we need to abandon our principles to care for others. My goodness is less important than the wellbeing of those who are oppressed.

    He was an interesting chap.

    Where does everyone watch cycling races?
  • This might just be it 🙃

    It's a shame that competition for this stuff is piracy or get shafted because I'm absolutely fine spending a reasonable sum on watching it but I can't justify paying for Discovery+ - I just want to watch cycling not more reality TV!

    Where does everyone watch cycling races?
  • Yeah this might be the way - it's such a shame because on its own GCN+ was great (their awful attempt at a social media platform notwithstanding). Even if Discovery had a cycling only tier I wouldn't mind as much - but I don't give a toss about any of their other sport or content other than the cycling. My winters are much worse now I can't watch the CX!

    What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • XFCE. Because I'm an idiot, and all my computers are old.

  • I had a GCN subscription until they were bought up by discovery, and now I've found out that the TdF won't be on free-to-watch tv in my home country any more I'm running out of places to view it; where you lot get your professional cycling fix from?

    It’s too late to save Britain from overheating, says UN climate chief
  • It's hard not to be a doomer with news like this - I'm glad I'm not having kids is all I can think about when I read this; I don't want to think about what the world is going to look like when I'm (not much) older.

    Two UK water companies lack complete maps of sewage networks
  • That's sort of besides the point really, though, no?

    If you're tasked with maintaining a structure (lol) you can be expected to perhaps attempt to know where all the bits you're responsible for are aren't you?

    But then again, Severn-Trent uses dousing rods to find water mains so who knows what they he'll they're actually doing.

  • I've found that breaking cables is a personal issue. I still have an old usb Xbox 360 controller for pc gaming from when I owned an xbox. My partner has destroyed cables for laptops, hairdryers, headphones in less than 12 months.

    Some cables are objectively worse than others (macbook chargers I'm looking at you) but a modicum of care generally is enough to make sure they last without too much hassle.

  • I'm tired of being tied to specific calendars and to-do apps because of difficulties in sharing and syncing my data, so I'd like to be able to manage it myself, either self hosting or using someone else's servers.

    I already pay for web-hosting for a personal website (wordpress) but beyond this I'm totally at a loss.

    My main goal is incredibly simple - I just want to host some notes and calendars for my family (tomavoid headaches when phones invariably break and so on), which I feel can't be too hard but I'm also incredibly stupid.

    Please help?!

    I have a Lenovo Tab P11 (Gen 2), which while not being that old seems to have been entirely superceded, to the point that I can't seem to find stock of the only compatible stylus listed on their website (well, that isn't approaching £90 or shipping from China in Ebay- the RRP being something like £40)

    Are there any decent universal styluses that can be bought for a decent price that will write well enough to be worth the cost? To my knowledge the Tab P11 isn't USI compatible, unfortunately so I understand that my options may be limited here!
