I have a knack for breaking computers in fun and unexpected ways.

This is still to date one of the coolest things I’ve ever found while thrifting

Kobo acquired The fact that it supports “sideloaded mode” with a single line added to the conf file to essentially remove all integrations with their store and work as a standalone device is pretty neat. Would be better if it was just a toggle though, but I’ll […] [Original post on forgi.social]

Forg can haz a little organization, as a treat.

There’s a battery organizer for AA and AAA batteries, along with an organizer for CR2032 batteries and SD/Micro SD cards on the left, and an Ifixit toolkit in a tray on the right.

Oh Apparently "Balanced" means 200-300mhz for the CPU... Yeah, that would do it. Set it to performance and it immediately turbo'd up to 3.5Ghz and CPU utilization fell to 5%

A screenshot of /proc/cpuinfo
"cpu MHz: 205.555"

Lol I put Fedora on my old XPS 13 to poke around with it, and the poor bastard has aged so terribly. It legit ran out of resources trying to open krunner and just... died. Only had a few apps open. It was also playing music (locally) and kept getting really choppy... Until that got killed too.

Launching KRunner (Failed)
Could not activate remote peer 'org.kde.krunner': startup job failed

Y’all remember Ubuntu Touch? Alternate timeline where we had true Linux phones. Le sigh :neofox_melt_2:

The same OnePlus One at the lock screen. It has the (incorrect) time and date at the top with a circle that says no photos taken today.

@greenmanx.bsky.social Installed from the Fedora repos - Flatpak was way too broken last I tried.

@greenmanx.bsky.social I appreciate ya trying to help, but they were already installed - it just glitched out since encoding was working literally minutes before, and immediately after once I restarted OBS.

Apparently Visual Studio Code has "YOLO mode" :neofox_blank:

A screenshot from Visual Studio Code that reads:

Chat › Tools › Global: Auto Approve Experimental (Applies to all profiles)

Global auto approve also known as "YOLO mode" disables manual approval completely for all tools in all workspaces, allowing the agent to act fully autonomously. This is extremely dangerous and is never recommended, even containerized environments like Codespaces and Dev Containers have user keys forwarded into the container that could be compromised.

This feature disables critical security protections and makes it much easier for an attacker to compromise the machine.
