Accommodation requests have to be reasonable. If the wheelchair won’t physically fit in the car then you can’t force the driver to drive an accessible vehicle at all times. That would be unreadonable. Though they can’t deny rides to people if the wheelchair could fit in the trunk or whatever.

My VPN doesn’t share my data with their 9000 advertising partners like my ISP does.

It could unite the north with the south again.

It’s a ryzen 3400g with 16gb ddr4 ram and a fairly new nvme ssd. Although I do have a really old 1.5tb drive acting as the backup drive. I’ve been looking at cloud backup solutions in case that dies.

It was stock Ubuntu. Everything was working fine for a long time. The only thing I can think of is that I was trying to get rdp going last week so I could access my main PC from a thin client in my garage. Maybe I got “hacked”? Otherwise it could be some issue with the PC, a used hp business pc, nothing special. When I first tried to load the fedora image it did the same thing, other recovery images from medicat worked. Then later trying the fedora image worked. I also reseated ram and ssd, unplugging everything and trying different monitors, etc. before trying anything else.

Everything seems fine now, I just need to install all of my applications again.

Back in the day you could book computer time at the local library in my town. I would walk to the library by myself so I could play Oregon trail on an apple iie. Honestly I’m glad that kids have access to the equivalent of the Library of Alexandria in their pocket, but I do miss the days of pre social media and the 24 hour news cycle.

I created. !flipping@lemmy.world to discuss selling on various platforms. I just flipped a PC I built yesterday for a $60 profit.

I’m talking about sales taxes on shipping charges.

Some States have exemptions on shipping charges. So you pay less sales tax if you pay $25/$5 over $30/free.

States and localities have different ways of handling sales taxes.

Some places don’t charge tax on the shipping so you’re paying less if you don’t choose free shipping.

The machine was in a bind and he was way behind, he was willing to make a McDeal.

We had a 4a (battery life) and 5a (sudden screen failure). Both failed just after warranty lapsed. The 5a made it just outside the extended screen warranty period. These are well documented issues and I’ve read about issues with newer gens as well. It just doesn’t make any sense not to support cheaper phones when it comes to custom roms because you’re voiding the warranty on it. With the pixels track record of poor quality I’d rather not risk $1k+ just to run custom firmware.

Pixels are inferior to even the cheapest android phones out there. I have a two year old Motorola stylus that cost $100 and battery life is still over two days and I’ve dropped it a million times. Evey pixel I’ve owned had major issues with screen or battery life not worth the price when google can’t handle making reliable hardware. Plus I have a headphone Jack.

The service is tftpd-hpa on Ubuntu. I did get 10.10.10.3 to work by putting :69 at the end 0.0.0.0 accepts all ip addresses attempting to connect to the server, not secure, but fine for a one off like this. I still can’t get the thing to connect to the server, but I did something at least.

I was correct that it is a networking error
cannot bind to local IPv4 socket: Cannot assign requested address

Ubuntu has built in hotkey functions that let you run terminal commands. You just write a bash script and run it with the hotkey.

Don’t let me catch you slippin’

When steam os finally drops for regular PCs I think that could become more mainstream. Most people are afraid of breaking their system by installing something else.

I decided to get crazy and use an ssd with USB adapter for Ventoy, I have a separate USB for medicat, I also have a “fake” USB stick that I tried to format to it’s actual size and now all it does is lock up the computer when you plug it in.
