No, for the fourth time, it's not pop up ads.

Ugh. So that was frustrating.

The new laptop had this issue where, if you're on headphones and start some music, or there's a sound like a notification, you'd hear this loud POP from them (it's loud enough to hurt). So I asked the ever-wise internet what was happening here. Turns out that the laptop is trying to save battery by turning the sound card OFF when not actively in use. When there's a sound, or you start playing music, or anything like that, power suddenly returns to the sound card, and this causes a static POP sound over the headphones. Great.

The solution for this problem where I found the information is from 2015 and wasn't working for me. So…I combed through every setting I could think of to turn this feature off. Power options, audio options, device options. No go.

I contacted HP support and the person does not have English as their first language, so we had a barrier here. I described the audio pop and she kept trying to solve my issues with pop up ads instead. I kept trying to tell her it was an audio issue. She wanted me to download an app so she could take control of my computer and I told her no, I just needed her help locating a SETTING. I gave up on her after she asked if I'd tried the troubleshooting options installed on my computer.

Anyway I found the solution on my own. You have to turn off USB power saving. Which, you know, a sound card is not a USB device, so I would never have found this solution on my own if I were not trying FUCKING EVERYTHING.

Posting to save anyone having a similar issue with the POP.

The Rook x Observant Reader got even longer. I’m not even talking the current word count which is 39k. I’m talking I have more idea to fit in the end so the entire theme of the fanfic is more wholistic. Yes, there are core themes in this like real novels or short stories. There’s even foreshadowing. I intentionally use story structure to enhance the reader’s experience. I make sure that there’s no scenes that are not there for a reason. If I could take it out of the story and it would still make sense, I’ve banished it to the scrap pile.

I have no idea how this happened. I’m as surprised as everyone else. I’ve been in shock for the past 3 hrs.

Some of these things I didn’t even plan until I looked a little closer and analyzed it and went “oh my god! The parallels!” You’ll get it once you read it.

I’m still in shock but I have to share because wtf. I didn’t plan any of this. It just happened and it’s smart

I'm sick, so I'm comfort-watching Voyager. I GOT sick because I crammed myself on four different flying sausage tubes over a period of three days so I could go to my son's graduation. I spent my flying sausage tube time reading Murderbot.

Now that you have context, let me just say: watching Voyager through a Murderbot lense is... something.

Tuvok. Janeway. Look me in the eye.

When one of your crew... one of your engineers, ffs... defects to a hostile nation...

YOU ROLL OVER YOUR FUCKING SECURITY CODES.

The Kazon come in firing and they're on the bridge like, "Wow, their weapons are going right through our shields, it's like they have our codes" YOU HAD AN ENGINEER DEFECT TO THE KAZON LAST WEEK ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU DIDN'T DO A SECURITY REVIEW FOR SYSTEM VULNERABILITIES OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Vulcans aren't actually any better at doing their own security than humans. Tuvok, SecUnit would be so mad at you.

i'm sure i am not the only one who is very concerned about the ~4 hours between when the midjourney change was made, and I knew to go opt out of it, so; glaze does not need to be on all your works to be effective. in the same way that one artist glazing all their works will ruin a broad, multi-artist dataset, glazing your works moving forward will ruin any dataset trained on you. if out of 100 comics I've posted, 10 are glazed, a dataset trained on all of my comics will not be able to make anything similar to my style. anyways. go download glaze.

I think it's a mistake to assume that computer generation (so-called AI) is the only manifestation of the exploitation that workers (especially in artistic fields that are already considered lesser) experience. The problems that they experience are, I think, exasperated by computer generation, but it isn't like there were no problems with compensation, theft, or other forms of exploitation.

The problem is the exploitation, and I think sometimes, people lose sight of that in these conversations.

You can call me weak for this but my main issue with emulation is that my fav way to play a video game is laying on my couch looking at the TV with a controller in hand. So I understand the desire for ports. I do not want to experience the Radiant FE games on my phone you feel me. But it IS always an option and it’s a much MUCH cheaper one

Had to share this life hack my mom taught me.

When you're moving (or just wanting to move your furniture), measure your rooms and furniture. Then get yourself some grid paper, draw your rooms to scale, and then cut out pieces for your furniture. It's much easier to move around bits of paper over and over than full size couches and beds to figure out where they'll fit.

Once you're happy with the layout, tape down the pieces. On moving day, you'll know exactly where everything will go, and that it will fit the first time. It's low tech, but it works.

PS: We made little pop-up book foldables for the recliners, so we'd know how much room they'd need to recline, which made us feel pretty smart.

I COULD FIX HIM THO TRUST 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙏🙏

Hear me out though: why fix him when you could just happily live out your days in his dungeon?

You’d be his prisoner but he’d make you enjoy it — forget it, even 🫦

Usually my desk has my computer on it, and looks something like this

But after coming home from a minerals exhibit, and unpacking them all, it looks more like this

I need to use the computer, but don't want to end the rock show....

Gosh I love writing. I can solve a problem I invented, based on some completely made-up physics, in the span of a single sentence. Incredible stuff!
