The Lian Li Hydroshift LCD 360S AIO Cooler Review: Sleek, Stylish, and Lively
  • I really don't understand why LCD's need to be on coolers. Does anyone enjoy them?

  • Kevin Bacon Dons Elaborate Disguise To Experience Life As Non-Famous Person, Concludes “This Sucks”
  • Per [Vanity Fair], he was outfitted with fake teeth, a slightly different nose and glasses. When he tested the look at outdoor Los Angeles shopping mall The Grove, “Nobody recognized me,” Bacon said. But the tide evidently soon turned. “People were kind of pushing past me, not being nice. Nobody said, ‘I love you.’ I had to wait in line to, I don’t know, buy a f***ing coffee or whatever. I was like, This sucks. I want to go back to being famous,” he told VF.

    The actor, who has been working steadily since the late 70s and became a megastar with 1984’s Footloose, also told VF, “I honestly feel very grateful for where I happen to be. That I can have two totally different movies coming out within a couple of days of each other, and completely different roles. The fact they would both come my way is the thing that I feel the most gratitude for. I’ve fought really long and hard for it.”

  • Series: Conservatives of Lemmy: What do you think has gone awry in modern society and how might it be constructively addressed?
  • I suppose I'm conservative according to lemmy, (I'm also not great at internet arguments, but do like conversation, so let's keep this nice.) Also, I'm not an expert, but I'd like to get the ball rolling here.

    In my opinion, I think modern society is just more disrespectful. Social media makes the "shock and awe" approach the way to go to get views and get heard. Everyone is just pursuing their own "mic drop" moment. There's just so much noise.

    So to get heard and stand out you have to get more extreme and entrench in your own views.

    So how do we fix it?

    In my mind, respect comes from better parenting. More time off from work for people does not necessarily mean more time with their own kids, but it certainly can't hurt. So maybe a reduction in the normal working week from 40 hours to maybe 35 would make a difference.

    I'm not sure how we could make incentives to have people be better parents.

  • These steps include:

    • Review the character
    • Create a strong start
    • Outline potential scenes
    • Define secrets and clues

    • Outline important NPCs
    • Choose relevant monsters

    An Apple TV app could finally be coming to Android smartphones
  • Apple, I never wanted to work with you back when you required a dumb, terrible iTunes program to sync my iPod back in 2009. It's now 2024, and you still require it because...

    The program runs like garbage and still looks like crap. No thank you, I don't need an Android app that you'll never update.

    Recommendations Wanted: Digital Whiteboard

    Hey All!

    I've been a longtime Doceri user and its lack of support (since January 2023) has finally bit me. It's time once again to find new software (and possibly hardware) to become a digital whiteboard.

    Here's my current setup:

    • Classroom Desktop Windows PC connected to a projector running Doceri and PowerPoint
    • Apple iPad running Doceri
    • Unused Apple TV connected to projector via another input

    Here's my preferred requirements:

    • Ability to annotate presentation docs / pdfs
    • One time cost (in the hundreds are fine) preferred, but a low yearly/monthly cost (in the $50 range or less) is also acceptable
    • The ability to walk around wirelessly
    • The ability to record 20 - 60 minute videos (preferrably able to upload to YouTube)
    • I would love to transition to an Android tablet with a stylus

    Anyone have any suggestions that they've tried? I understand that I could screen record / screen share for the iPad, but I'm also looking for a new whiteboard app.

    Looking for a Python Interpreter

    I'm looking for an Android python compiler interpreter that runs locally on my phone. Any suggestions are appreciated. FOSS apps preferred of course.

    Edit: changed compiler to interpreter

    Edit 2: I ended up going with Pydroid3. I wish there was a FOSS alternative.

    Anyone else not able to create Amazon Prime watch parties?

    Sorry, I don't know of a community to post this in. However, anyone else having trouble creating watch parties?

    I am no longer able to host watch parties on things that are free on prime. I can however, start a watch party for seasons/movies I "own" through amazon.

    Edit: Put own in quotes.

    Has anyone switched to make their own (Sodastream / Soda Maker)?

    I'm wondering about your experience with them:

    • Have they replaced your seltzer/soda buying?
    • How much do you use your equipment?
    • Where do you get your CO_2 refilled and how much does it cost?
    • What flavorings do you use and which are your favorite?
    • What equipment did you buy and do you recommend it?
