Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour
  • I have a gigabit internet plan with Comcast , cost me $80 a month. And yes there is a 1.2tb data cap each month. Every 50gb that you go over, you are automatically charged an additional $10. Oh I'll just choose another ISP...nope Comcast is the only option in my town. Not unless I want 5G cell Internet or satellite which is not super reliable or fast.

  • I didn't know HOW bad Google search has gotten.
  • Yes SearXNG is awesome. You can even self host your own instance for added security/privacy. I have my own instance running on a free tier Oracle cloud 1core/1GB ram and it works great.

  • No One Is Buying AMD Zen 5 CPUs, So What's Going On?
  • I got an 5800x3d and 64gb of ddr4. I see no need to jump up to a new CPU and invest in ddr5 memory yet. The performance benefit is only a few percent just isn't worth the upgrade in my opinion

  • Why is there no Christmas version of Spirit Halloween?
  • Walk into any Goodwill. You will no doubt find their Christmas aisle fully stocked all year round.

    Spirit Halloween probably makes most of its money on the expensive Halloween costumes that parents buy for each kid every year. Christmas doesn't have any yearly cost item unless you get a real tree and those are already sold at temporary specialty shops

  • Which consumer grade printer should I buy?
  • I have a brother b&w laser printer with scanner (hl-l2390dw) that I got after years of grief from an awful canon inkjet that would clog after 2 weeks of no use. Went through so many ink cartridges on that thing.

    I love the brother now. It can sit around for weeks and when I do occasionally need to print something it comes out great. Sure I do miss printing color but I can always send a print job over to Walgreen or Staples and they'll have it printed out in an hour with better quality than a consumer inkjet printer can put out

    Mine works with Linux so no issues there

  • Anybody know the species of this fledgling?
  • Me too. Yea it looks like a European Starling. The juveniles are brown and adults are black with speckles. We get tons of them this time of year. They are very loud and bully the smaller birds. If he can't fly yet, you can try and put him back in his nest.

  • what's your current linux distro?
  • I've tried a couple different KDE distros and settled on Fedora 40 KDE spin. It seems to be the most complete KDE experience without all of the Canonical/snap bloat. It works great on my Thinkpad. Also runs decent on my gaming desktop using the latest Nvidia beta driver - I used to get stutters and artifacts in games/steam/plex and now with the beta driver those apps run fine

  • Update about lemm.ee infrastructure & upcoming cakeday
  • Thank you for everything you do. I appreciate the visibility into the technical aspects of the instance. That's what makes Lemmy unique. It's built for users by users. I'm glad I picked this instance back when this all started. Keep up the good work!

  • Router recommendations? (under 100CAD)
  • I have some tp link deco mesh units I got refurbished from the official tp link eBay store. They work great and have good coverage. But it's not open source and you need to use their phone app the manage them - but their app isn't too bad. It does everything I need it to do

  • Chromecast with Google TV is now serving full-screen, auto-playing Chicken Tender Wrap ads
  • Download another launcher, set it as default home, and forget about google's excessive ads. Depending on your model, you may need to run an ADB command. You may need to get a remote remapper app to remap the home button to open the launcher

    I am using this one for my android tv https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.projengmenu

    And flauncher for my chromecast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.efesser.flauncher

  • I'm not all to familiar with the iso layouts. Non of my model Ms have wire stabilizer for any key other than spacebar.

    Maybe your enter key is using a wire stabilizer and the wire is missing. Check the bottom of your enter key and see which type of stabilization it is using (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=55003.0;attach=56349;image). If it is using the wire and it's missing or damaged, you can probably take the wire from the plus key and use it for enter

  • Each keycap has one spring. The larger keys have a stabilizer (the blue insert). From your picture, it looks like you have all the springs. You'll just need a blue insert for enter key, + key, and numpad enter key.

    You may be able to find someone selling the stabilizer inserts on ebay for cheap. In the meantime, you can move the blue insert from numpad zero to the enter key if you use enter key more often.

  • What's the best piracy for music?
  • You have to keep on the computer that is running jellyfin/plex server. Then as long as the server is running and everything is set up, you can access all of your own songs and playlists from the android app.

    There are a ton of tutorials out there for setting up jellyfin or plex.

  • What's the best piracy for music?
  • Download mp3 or flac from artists you like. Install jellyfin or plex on an old PC, laptop, or raspberry pi and store the music there. Install finamp or plexamp on your phone. And you got your own personal spotify that you can access from anywhere
