Another reason why I wanna move to Australia; fewer people who bitch about the weather (and just fewer people overall)

I can understand pure noise being calming; noise music? eh

Logitech Z623 are great, I've had them for over a decade now and they're still pretty great

It's winter. so what is your favourite icecream / gelato / frozen yog flavour? in c/[email protected]
[–] FireWire400 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

They used to dye vanilla ice cream light blue and sell it as "delphino" around here. I don't know why but I loved that stuff; that was probably 20 years ago mind you.

Nowadays I'm more of a cassis guy.

Noise Music. How can anyone unironically listen to that stuff?

Happy birthday, person I see everywhere I go on Lemmy (not that it bothers me or anything, I just find it funny how often I come across your posts)

Definitely not a hoax. Trust us on that. in c/insanepeoplefacebook

After enjoying Nirvana's MTV Unplugged album so much I listened to Alice in Chains' (MTV) Unplugged album and while it's not as good as Nirvana's, it's still pretty great

'I signed up to be a b****, not a criminal': Australia's 'most-hated' TV villain speaks in c/[email protected]

This actually reminds me of a similar case that happened quite a few years ago here in Germany; the editors of "Heirat auf den ersten Blick" (literally the same concept as Married at first Sight) clearly made stuff up and edited the footage they had to frame a woman participating as an annoying c-word that's too lazy to do anything while portraying her "husband" as passionate and polite, which he wasn't (at least according to an interview one journalist did with her).

Stuff like that was VERY common in German reality television of the early 2000s-2010s.

Have you ever owned a rare or unusual car? in c/[email protected]
[–] FireWire400 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

My mum used to own an E30 320i convertible and it was just the coolest thing to me growing up. I dreamed of one day inheriting and restoring that car for years.

In the end, my father sold it to a friend of his (who probably bugged him for years about it)....

thanks, dad

Can someone ID this comic strip? (lemmy.world)

Some time ago, I pulled this sticker off our old fridge before we got rid of it and put it onto my PC's side panel (don't ask me why, I guess I thought it looked cool). I don't exactly know where it came from or who put it there, although I suspect it was put there by a Australian relative that was visiting us a long time ago (the Murrumbidgee is a river in NSW, Australia).

Does anyone know the artist or name of this if it even has one? There's no obvious signature that I can see.

Feel free to remove if this isn't allowed.

What are some good casual Discord servers for talking to people from all over the world? (self.casualconversation)
 

I just wanna get to know people and maybe make a few friends. I've tried a bunch of servers over the years, both general and specific ones but it never really worked out I guess? (I'm a pretty awkward person to talk to, maybe that's why^^)

Pixel 6 Pro main camera lens jolts around violently when going into video mode (self.googlepixel)

When switching into video mode from photo mode or vice versa the main lens' OIS kinda jolts it around which makes a rather loud click.

I'm on Android 14 and the latest Google Camera update.

Probably my favourite album cover, really sets the mood for the music as well

What do you like to collect? (self.casualconversation)
 

Saw a post like this on Reddit once and I thought some of the responses were quite interesting.

I collect all sorts of stuff from vinyl records and vintage game consoles to Harley-Davidson dealer t-shirts.

I'm curious about what some of you guys collect, the weirder the better :D

Blu-Ray Drive in a T540P? (self.thinkpad)

I know they never were an option since the T400/T500 days and I've seen people flat out say that even if they fit, they won't work with the T440P/T540P.

There are a bunch of different stores online selling the Hitachi LG BU20N as "for Lenovo T440P/T540P" and some also claim that the Matsushita UJ262 would work.

Has anyone got a Blu-ray drive in their T440P/T540P or knows if it would work?

Edit: Saw someone claim they got a Hitachi LG BU40N working in a T440P and since that's basically the same as the BU20N, with added UHD Blu-Ray support, that means the BU20N should work fine?

Next time I see them being sold at a reasonable price I'll grab one and just try it out for myself.

Edit 2: For anyone coming across this post in the future; I now have a HLDS BU20N (HP OEM) installed in my T540p and it plays back blu-ray discs without issue.

Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website (lemmy.world)

Edit: Looks like you can opt-out of that "new look and feel" pretty easily under the appearance settings but still, whats with putting rounded corners everywhere?

Edit 2: "Explore the web with a softer, more friendly aesthetic featuring rounded corners [..] Designed to complement your operating system, whether on Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux." The fuck does that mean? Windows 11 fair enough but most Linux distros don't look like that at all.
