If the president never orders them to do anything as policy then they can't really be held accountable can they?

Can't they just claim it's an "official act?"

Hp t620. Best price with a power supply right now is around $30, but recent solds are in the low $20. You can also get an hp g5 sff desktop with a ryzen cpu for around $65.

I have a few t620s, one with octoprint, and one in the garage for looking up whatever. I think I have lubuntu on it, but I can't remember. There's different variants, there's a dual core and a quad core and a bigger one with a pcie slot. They originally shipped with some lightweight version of win 10.

Old thin clients are good for this. Cost can be as low as $20. With a quad core processor. Maybe not the fastest thing, but can still run linux.

Harvard gets $2 billion dollars and there's still school lunch debt. Harvard got us into this mess in the first place.

The trick is that you're tangentially agreeing with conservatives now.

They had to invent inventing first.

Where to buy Canning Jars? in c/[email protected]
[–] GrumpyDuckling 7 points 2 days ago

Ah, sorry, I meant old canning jars. Usually you can find them at secondhand stores, flea markets, garage sales, and local online groups. Be careful with jars from things you buy at the store since the glass can be much thinner.

Preferably:

Available on Libby

Nonfiction

Not a biography/autobiography

Not a self help book or pop phychology

The narrator isn't annoying/breathy

How would you set up a loaner google tv box? (library as an example) (self.android)
 

I'm looking into setting up android tv boxes or sticks for a charitable organization to loan out to people or possibly for their locations.

I have an ONN box with f launcher, button remaper, smarttube, etc.

I'd like to set that up and then when it comes back the hardware reset button can just be held down and revert to what I set up without going back to the out of the box state.

I think I'm looking for custom recovery partition or something like that.

Which project would be best for a local community hub? (self.fediverse)
 

Mastadon? Lemmy? It would probably have to be standalone so people would't be turned off from the content from the rest of the fediverse unless there's a way to prevent federated content from showing on the instance. Just a place to post local news and discussions, maybe a place to sell secondhand. I live near a huge college with a major cs program, so I should be able to get users.

Installed Budgie DE in Ubuntu and now no output from gpu. (self.linux)

Only getting video output from the motherboard. It did this with Budgie on top of stock Ubuntu and with the Budgie "flavor" freshly installed.

I have an Intel A310 in an HP prebuilt, so that's probobly the issue.

If you think a game should be higher or lower in ranking, then upvote or downvote it. If you don't see a game on the list that you think should be on the list then create a top level reply with the name and system.

The inside of a snowman could be warmer than the outside. (self.showerthoughts)
 

If you built a snowman during the day the snow only needs to be below freezing. It can get colder that night or the next day by quite a bit. The exterior of the snowman would be colder than the inside even though they're both frozen.

I Replaced the headlight bulbs on the car today. (self.dull_mens_club)
 

We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I've been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.
