@siguza ohh lol, it didn't even cross my mind to just kill -STOP/-CONT instead of lldb but ofc that would've worked!
noticed too late that the disk used by a very slow recursive wget was nearly full, quickly paused wget in lldb so i'd have time to make more space.. it resumed cleanly, saving me several days of re-downloading. super dumb, but a thrilling experience. lol
@siguza you either die while Tim Cooks, or live long enough to see Tim Cooked. or something
this no-name aliexpress keyboard cover was always a little yucky and has already disintegrated to the point of unusability after a year. replaced with a navy-blue one from "mosiso" which has good reviews and feels considerably nicer. fingers crossed 😅
dreamed i was romantically involved with a blonde, more feminine, slightly shorter version of myself. wtf was that about

@cursedbit fair lol, they were [whatever was the cheapest aliexpress option at the time] 😓 a little surprised it was the molex rather than sata side that was unreliable, though
..i am probably lucky there wasn't any fire
laptop screw fell out again and i still haven't bought glue so im back on the "using green nail polish as adhesive" grindset

Have *you* gone to buy a Pokémon game in the past 5 years and noticed that they cost hundreds of dollars?
There's two simple explanations for that. Unfortunately, they're "scams" and "fascism".

@lyresdictionary i love when this generates a real, common word
@macrumors expected but still disappointing, since most of the best intel macs (2015 mbp, 2015/17 mba) are all stuck on monterey. firefox still supports catalina and up though!
i have 10 sata hdds, and for years they would occasionally disconnect or get stuck repeatedly trying to spin up, often hanging or panicking my pc (thank you macos).
anyways, they were all powered on molex-to-3x-sata dongles, and in november on a whim i cut off the molex plugs and soldered the sata plugs directly to the psu cables.
it's been stable for a few months now, so im tentatively concluding those 4-pin connectors are not reliable..? is it just my cables or a known thing with molex?
unsolved secondary problem called "i have like 6 of these now and nobody wants to buy them For some reason"
bit confusing (for me), a trace for boot rom was broken resulting in no sign of life and cycling S4 - S0 lines. thankfully there were test points at both sides to solder to. it's the "rare" i7 config as well!
ordered it months ago but didn't try to fix it until today.. i've been feeling yucky and i'm happy to accomplish something minor 😋
@billgoats deeply unfair that we may chat with women about arbitrary subjects, but chats with men are limited in topic to football
@kqct i used to always do this with 13" laptop, was a bit dismayed to realize my new 11" macbook air is too small, shortly followed by the scrunching-up of a blood test form's edges in my bag 😓
