Las Vegas Police Touted New “Bulletproof” Cybertrucks. The Only Problem? They Aren’t Bulletproof. in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

They are just about as bullet proof as the cars are self driving. Dunno why anyone might think that they would actually be bullet proof, given Musk's track record...

A question for those who have a partner, how did you manage to do it and how long did it take? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

My wife is an introvert. It took 7 years of very innocent twice a year meeting at camp and someone else shoving us together for us to think about becoming an item. Been married for 8 years now (together for 13). Sometimes these things just happen. Top tip is not to try too hard.

How did the authors write Asterix Puns? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

The translators did a heroic job. They even changed the names to make them funnier (Getafix is Panoramix in French). I do wonder what the Corsican's name is in French given that boneywasawarroirwayayix is very English (language and culture) specific.

As a humble brag my Pa knew Anthea Bell's brother - she was doing the English translations.

Yeh I have noticed something similar.

I have to refresh home/local/all when I visit them to get all new posts. Default sort is new for all of them (iirc)

Occasionally there is 1 new one at the top of the feed.

I thought I was dreaming.

Yup. Exactly that. Us poors can work harder to earn enough so that we also can live in nirvana.

I could use some troubleshooting help for a Linux laptop in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] BenM2023@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Just thinking aloud here...

Can you boot the install media when the laptop storage is installed?

If so, you can use gparted from the install media to clean the storage device and start from scratch. That might help.

You should be able to tell what mode to install the os in from the boot mode of the install media.

That is odd. However iirc it is an option in the bios.

Fwiw telling grub to uefi boot will not work if the boot device doesn't have uefi support (and trying to boot in bios mode from a uefi disk fails as well... Been there got the T-shirt)

To get the install media to boot you could try removing the laptop storage...

Scrolling bug (lemmy.world)
 

Guys

Voyager native app on Android.

Anyone else got an issue when scrolling through a thread the rendering flicks all over the place?

It's random and I can't think of a way to screenshot it. It's like the replies get drawn in one position then jump to where they should be. Sometimes, if I catch it right, sliding up and down with my finger flashes the post/comment on and off...

Like I say, hard to describe properly.

Feature request? (lemmy.world)
 

Guys

Dunno if I am missing something, but I notice that many times a post is cross posted to many communities, resulting in the All feed being full (well not really full but you know what I mean) of what are, effectively, reposts...

Does voyager have a "hide posts with the same title in different communities" setting somewhere or is that a feature request?

Printer Offline (not really offline) issue (lemmy.world)
 

Guys

We have an XYZ DaVinci 1.0 Pro, connected by USB to a Windows 10 PC (latest updates etc.)

The drivers are all correctly installed (both cameras show up in device manager, the printer shows up in device manager as both a printer and a USB-COM3 device).

The printer has Firmware 1.2.3 installed (as recommended by XYZ.... not sure if that's a good thing)

  • XYZ Printing does not detect the printer as online;
  • Cura does not detect the printer as online;
  • Pronterface does not detect the printer as online;
  • In a massive turn-up for the books.... Microsoft 3d Builder does see the printer on line and will start a print.

In device manager the com port seems to be set at 9600,8,n,1. Changing this to (say) 115200 breaks printing in 3d Builder. Changing Pronterface to use 9600 baud makes no difference to connecting to the printer.

I have changed the USB lead, tried different ports on the PC yadda yadda yadda but no change at all - only Microsoft 3d Builder will see the printer online and print.

Anyone got any idea at all why everything except Microsoft 3d Builder can't see the printer?
