  • Watching the pit incident with Verstappen and I'm wondering who tf wasn't looking for incoming cars or who made the decision to release when the car coming in was going to the pit in front of Max.

    Just sloppy.

  • The conclusion to the article really wraps it all up nicely:

    A quick lesson for anyone out there looking to bring their Cybertruck to do off-roading: start real slow, learn the truck, and maybe if you try hard and Elon believes in you, you’ll get out of the parking lot before rolling it.

    Rapid overheat/shutdown PS5

    My PS5 is a little over two years old and I've maintained it well but over the past couple of months it has started overheating.

    I've cleaned it out thoroughly and it's shutting off after less than 10 minutes of playing. I don't always get the error message either.

    When I start it up some time later (days later), I'll get a split screen that shows the right half of the screen twice. Once it repairs the console and USB external storage and reboots, the screen is fine.

    Nothing around the PS5 has changed. If anything, I've given it more space and airflow. The fan seems to be working fine as well.

    I messed up

    I renamed one of my partitions and now Mint won't boot up. I go into recovery mode, run a file check and get the following:

    Any help would be appreciated.

    TIA!

    Trustworthy burner/disposable email service?

    I need to send a sensitive email anonymously to a VP at work. I was given information I should not have but it's important to get it to this person. I don't have much trust in local management to address the situation. I also need to protect myself because I won't be ready to leave this job for a few more months.

    Any recommendations? It can be a simple one and done or one that's good for a limited time/number of emails.

    TIA!

    EDIT: I appreciate the recommendations! I will start checking them shortly. I'm hoping we can fix the situation locally but knowing that you recommended these helps me feel better about going this route if it becomes necessary.

    Hardware recs for newb? Please.

    EDIT: Thank you for all the comments and suggestions! I'm sorry I can't reply to everything but I have a list now of hardware to look at. I appreciate that everyone has been so helpful! I'll post an update once I buy one and get it going.

    I've been running a Plex server for music off my gaming laptop for a few months and (I think) I'm ready to take it further - that is, I'd like to have the server running on its own hardware.

    At this point, I'd just be running a music server, but I know I'll want to add more services.

    The first would be something like Google Drive - I'm working with a couple of other people on business plans and I'd love to self-host our files and the software (like LibreOffice) to edit them.

    I'm comfortable with the software side and I'm finding lots of options, especially in this community.

    The hardware side... I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all the options and I don't know enough to judge the search results.

    Any recommendations for hardware or links to g

    Brainscape hack or such

    Is there a way to download or otherwise use Brainscape flashcards without paying (imo) high subscription prices for their "brain science"?

    I'm going to see what I can do on my own but I'm low skill so any help would be appreciated.

    TIA!

    Mirror recommendations please

    I bought a Grom about 3 months ago - my first bike.

    I love it, except for the mirrors. I drive a lot on one lane roads and not being able to get a quick glance before turning my head is driving me nuts.

    I'm guessing bar end would be best but trying to find good reviews (that is, not LLM BS or not so subtle marketing disguised as blogs, etc) has been challenging.

    I would love to hear what y'all have to say.

    Allergy to hypoallergenic pillow?

    I bought a pair of hypoallergenic pillows a couple of weeks ago and immediately started having a reaction to them. I washed them and no change.

    I looked at what they're made from and I think it might be the Lyocell Tencel in the cover - made from eucalyptus trees.

    Everything else about them is the same - afaik - as my other pillows.

    Anyone else experience this or know anything about it?

    Kinda newbie in need of guidance

    I've been lurking here for a while, trying to learn and set up my own stuff. I'm starting off with music. I have a few thousand files in different formats and plenty of duplicates.

    I already have an Emby server set up and it works very well.

    However, is there a music manager that will help me find and eliminate duplicates?

    I'm using Linux Mint and I'm still figuring out how to set up the various users and groups so that the software can access where my music is stored.

    I'm thinking Lidarr but - as mentioned - something about setting up users and a media group and doing the permissions is not clicking.

    For Emby to work, I've made the music directory a shared location and opened guest access.

    Any pointers to step by step guides on any of this would be very helpful as well.
