Brushless motors should be able to work even when under water. These must be some seriously shitty motors.
My wife asked me to help her with her Windows laptop one day. She was stuck at the bitlocker prompt and of course didn't remember enabling it or being given a password. I was like, WTF, they're just randomly turning this on by surprise now? LOL
Luckily she was able to eventually get it unlocked by calling MS support.
Remember how it took several years for EA to figure out how to let you put more than one item in your shopping cart? LOL
Huh. I didn't think to check this cause it's never worked for me... D=
The problem is they're already talking about needing trillions of dollars worth of hardware to make it happen. It's absurd.
All data centers use lots of water for cooling.
Things like this always make me think, ok, there are some hoodlums disturbing the peace and they are trying to crack down. But wait, isn't whatever crime they are committing already illegal? We already have laws in place so why bring e-bikes into this?

Do a search for bash-it if you haven't found that already. It has a lot of built in easily modifiable themes as well as a bunch of other optional extensions.
Post-Helldivers, every Sony game will now explicitly announce the Playstation account requirement.
Bash prompt next
I'm running an AMD 7800 XT on Bazzite right now and it's been my best Linux experience so far. I play stuff like Cyberpunk, Helldivers, Chivalry 2, etc all the time.
That little up arrow in the sys tray might as well be a gun to my head
A script that takes the game you're playing on steam and displays it on discord - JustTemmie/steam-presence
I just found this cool utility a couple days ago and have found that it's a great solution to sandboxed versions of Discord being unable to provide rich presence. It's a Python script that queries the Steam web API to get info to forward to Discord's API. The "installer" sets up a systemd service that will auto-run the script for you.
It requires you to get your own Steam API key which was a trivial, though slightly buggy, process for me. You can optionally use your own Discord app ID, or just use the one owned by the guy that created this script.
RIP James Randi who died before anyone could claim the his prize for playing RB1 over the board against Levy.
Sorry for the messy work bench but that's how it is with my DIY projects. 🙂 This is the Build Kit Boards Duo kit with a custom battery setup.
The battery enclosure is one from their site that is on fire sale due to being left over from their previous kit version. It doesn't exactly fit so I did a little work on it with a hacksaw. It is bound to the board via 8 thumb screws that attach to steel threaded inserts that I installed on the deck. I do have to remove all the screws to take the batteries out and charge them... I'd like to come up with a better solution but no good ideas so far.
For batteries I'm running three 5000mAh 4S LiPo batteries in series, so effectively a 12 cell. There is room in the enclosure for three more of these so I can have two 12 cell packs in parallel. I'm hoping for a 25 mile range from that setup.
I commuted to work on this this morning and had a blast! Electric skateboards kick ass.
This song popped up on Sirius XM this past weekend and I loved it. It's like a blend of Dimmu and Wilderun.
I've been gaming on Kubuntu for over 2 years now but recently have been getting interested in Garuda. I've booted into the live Dragonized Gaming iso and was really impressed with the out of the box gaming-centric setup.
I've also been looking for more reasons to switch away from Ubuntu, and have been hit with the EOL countdown for plasma in 23.04, so the time is right for a distro hop. With the latest Garuda release they added an official Hyprland variant which looks really cool too.
Does anyone use Garuda? What are your impressions/thoughts/experiences? What should I expect from switching to an Arch base? Same questions for Hyprland too.
I have 16 gigs of ram, an Intel i7 something and an nVidia 2080.
Edit: I booted into the Hyprland live iso last night and I must say, Hyprland is cool af. Really a breath of fresh air and very intuitive. I'm going to run with the install this weekend.
Anyone have any tips on good places to view this outside of the metro area? I live in Olathe and have tried the area around Hillsdale Lake before which was alright, but still had quite a bit of glow in the horizon.
Don't forget to vote in these elections today! Local elections are where your votes carry the most power!
Inherited from my Opa whose memorial service I'm attending today. Has kind of an old man vibe to it, but I think it looks really sharp.
It was absolutely filthy when I got it. I spent about two hours de-gunking it, and what I assume is gold plating on the bracelet has almost entirely worn off. But I've enjoyed wearing it the last couple days. 🙂
I nominate I-80 in Illinois or I-70 in eastern Colorado. Crossing the border from Kansas to Colorado is like "holy f- OW I BIT MY TONGUE"
Installed this valve the very first time I changed my oil. It makes it so easy. And when I buy new oil filters the guys at the auto shop give me wild looks when I tell them I don't need the crush washer. :D
Went on a bike ride around the city with some folks yesterday. This is one of a few pics I took along the way. It was a great day to ride, if a little hot.
2nd time visiting the new terminal today and we parked in short term parking. The garage has indicators in every row that show you where there are available parking spots. Pretty cool!
Serious question. I had a friend born and raised near Seattle who I invited to come on a float trip in southeast Missouri. Her mind was blown that this is a thing people do - drinking and making a ruckus while floating down a river.
In MO, this is just a thing that people do. At least in rural areas. I had no idea it was regional. So, how far across this region does the concept of float trips go?
