Corner desks. They were just everywhere mostly, probably because monitors where so big and heavy
Not just big and heavy. Old monitors were deep. Corners were a great place to dump all that wasted depth.

They don't get it
When I was 15, my dad purchased me a plaster saw (still have it) and handed me his drill.
Then told me to make it look neat, but "don't fuck up because your mother will kill us both".
I ran about 4 network points through the house.
Nothing like fear to produce a 100% perfect finish 😉

Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community?
Satisfactory.
She's fearless
She conquers a planet
She's an engineer

Have one. My email address is [email protected]. I work in tech so it really seems to generate the right impression on my resume.

Framework Laptop 16 Deep Dive - Connectors
Loving the continuous transparency from Framework. Bought one for myself, when my father needed a new laptop got him onto the framework bandwagon. Now my wife has informed me to start budgeting - she wants one next year. Their behaviour to date is why I'm willing to get behind them & their products.

How to fix bad paint job? how can I remove the paint that has dripped on the tiles ?
If it's acrylic paint it'll typically scrape off tiles easily. Try using a spatula that's not likely to scratch the tile (I.e. a plastic one rather than a sharp metal one)

Problem trying to sign in to Memmy for Lemmy on iOS - Issue fixed
Try removing the @ at the start of the name. I'm using a few android apps and Memmy on an iPad, haven't used the @ on any of them.

Has anyone set up RAID 1 on a Framework laptop? (Might not be possible until Framework 16?)
How performant does it need to be? What's the nature of the read/write behaviour? If it fits the profile of "fast USB drive" then you could potentially get away with 2 of these (https://frame.work/au/en/products/storage-expansion-card?v=FRACCFBZ02) configured in software raid and boot your OS off the internal nvme. That said, I feel you'd get more mileage with a second hand (and cheap!) micro PC for your paperless instance and save the framework as a laptop

My look at the Framework 16
Reply in thread
I went way overboard speccing mine so thenAussie tax was a big hit. Including the RAM & SSDs I sourced separately, over $5K 😭 I find the FW13 is reasonable comparable to similar 13in laptops, but the FW16 is pricier than comparable 16in laptops. Windows ones that is. As I've specced it its a total bargain compared to a 16in Macbook. That said, I was willing to eat the price difference for the modularity, the potential for future upgrades & to back Framework's mission.
Also yes, I'm also desperately waiting for the release of an oculink module.

This was an older stumped house. The way I did it was to remove a power point, look in the wall cavity for where the cable came up out of the floor in the cavity space, and then assuming there was no obstruction, I then got under the floor and drilled up. In most cases I was able to stay a good 20cm or so away from the power cable. Worked a charm. I was paranoid if I got it wrong I'd be drilling right up through the actual floor.
Nowadays, doing the same at my own house.... Cut the plaster. Run cable. Patch plaster. No stuffing around with the slowly slowly approach 🤷♂️
