Oh god, me too. Fixing that and how having it connected to my TV disrupts every other device connected to it for some reason (HDMI-CEC problems maybe).

Thanks for this. The Silvertunes track is pretty great.

TIL about Big Youth and discovered where the Beastie Boys Ill Communication sample came from (Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing).

“Dudes and dudettes” seems more on the level.

Just the concept of a plan?

Deep thoughts from Teflon Don.

For a brief moment during Bush(Cheney) years, there was this screensaver with some of the more outlandish quotes from his press briefings.

He had a way with words, and that way was to go nowhere. It was an art form.

Reminds me of an oldie:

“Roses are red, Violets are blue. Some poems rhyme, This one don’t.”

Yes, you can wash sneakers in the washer. Delicate, cold, small amount of detergent, laces out (Dan!) and in a laundry bag or the pair entirely in a bag laundry bag.

You can wash with other sneakers but I wouldn’t wash with clothes.

Consider getting a boot/mitt/hat dryer (like the ones at Costco). Very handy for quick drying and no mold, bacteria, fungi stink. I use mine all year round for this and weather related needs.

Note that the fabric on the soles might let go over time. The glue isn’t so strong.

Yes, right beside the “Turbo” button that you’d never turn off (I mean, why would you).

Some of those were cylinder keyboard locks, like the old bike locks that were vulnerable to the Bic pen trick.

A colleague of mine just pointed this app out. I love that this exists.

But make sure to dig into the additional info and draw your own conclusions.

For instance, it ranked Pure Life water (a typical bottle of water) at 65/100 because it contained sodium bicarbonate. This is something in the category of emulsifiers, a category that one study related to breast cancer, a preliminary study noted to have discrepancies. That’s a few leaps of correlation via a single one-time study with documented issues.

Anyway, I’d say the app is still worthwhile then having no easy guidance on product health and safety.

Here’s the iOS link: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/yuka-food-cosmetic-scanner/id1092799236

Flipp allows for some of this desired capability now through digital flyer scraping and online feeds, APIs. Maybe things have gotten better on the API side over time.

Pretty sure it’s a Canadian app, coincidentally.

An AI-powered Clippy… have we learned nothing from Star Trek Lower Decks about what can go wrong with this??

This isn’t the first time he’s been attacked.

This is great! Thank you so much for giving me some direction here.

I’m going to give this a whirl on one of the units and see how it goes.

Thanks, that’s very kind of you to offer.

I’ve got quite a few older machines. I’m pretty keen to figure out the top four, at least.

Any advice on the following and/or on the method of identifying viable distros and versions in general is very appreciated.

• MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53 GHz, Mid 2009)
• iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
• Mac mini Server (Mid 2010)
• MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2013)
• MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)
• iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
• Mac mini 2018

Question for you guys.

How do you know which version to install relative to the hardware? Is it just trial and error?

I have some 13 year old Macs but I’m not sure which distro and version to go with and I’m not keen on spending days figuring it out.

I recall reading another post from some guy who went through like six installs with various problems. Didn’t seem encouraging.

Sounds like asthma or walking pneumonia even, but I’m no doctor. I recommend getting checked out.
