eh, I'm hiring for my team right now and I have zero problem with these questions.

I tend to bring similar things up myself at the end of the interview if the candidate doesn't ask just because I don't like wasting time down the line.

we shouldn't make people jump through a bunch of hoops to see if they fit the job itself without being willing to consider that they might not want to waste time on a work environment that won't fit for them even if they could do the job.

I find it varies a bit to bit based on the microwave, but on average I get the most success by putting the plate in the middle of the microwave and arranging the food in a "donut" on the plate, it seems like the outsides of the plate if it's in the middle do the best, probably because they get more rotation than the center.

I just packed up an 8pro for 400 on Amazon refurbished and it's been great

yeah, it's decent with the right modes, though I tend to use megaraid / arcconf / etc for things behind a card

I've done server manufacturing in my career and generally I use only two tools to check disk health if it's not behind another card:

smartctl - this will give you a readout of disk information, and depending on which options you use it will give you attributes that can indicate pre-failure modes and current health as well as link health in case you have a bad cable or port on your motherboard.

if you want all the information generally I would do this: smartctl -x /dev/sda (or whatever drive designation it is)

look at the attribute section and the phy health section at the bottom.

warning this can be a little complicated to interpret if you don't already know what to look for so read the manual on Smart CTL to see the values mean.

I think zorinos is Ubuntu based, so I nabbed you a guide, I've never used this one but looked okay when I skimmed it: https://thelinuxcode.com/install-and-configure-smartctl-on-ubuntu/

fio - this is a multi-purpose stress utility. it's not too complicated to set up but you do want a configuration file and you might need a little help with that or to use a copy from online.

this will run some operations on your drive and provide you a report about how well it performed.

warning, do not run long read write operations on SSD, it will eventually wear out the drive.

I would probably do a longer sequence of sequential and random reads with a couple of short runs of random read write

love the mostly unchanged count dooku

[–] OmnislashIsACloudApp 2 points 1 month ago

ah that's too bad, I'll have to keep an eye on the thread then

you version has no ads, not sure about tracking. does have decent devotionals and no account required

 

hey All,

I love organizers and have been delaying for too long on some of my games.

what are some of your favorite organizers and accessories?

in addition finally got one for Spirit Island recently but the two I really would like and haven't done yet are dead of winter and mansions of madness. would love some advice

I've got every expansion for mansions and so right now they are in a crazy setup with a knitting crate that holds everything pretty well given all the minis, but if there is anything out there that you guys have found for quick setup I will be all over it.

graphene os advice (self.android)
 

so I've got a pixel 6A and I really like the device itself, but the last several months of updates have just screwed it up over and over again.

first I lost my fingerprint sensor and it still hasn't been fixed with any of the updates. now with one of the more recent beta updates I have seen intermittent cell service issues in areas where I never used to have service issues.

I've been considering switching over to graphene for a while now but wanted some feedback on how that works when I'm not really trying to disconnect from the rest of Google services.

I use family link for my kids tablets, I use Google pay I use Gmail etc.

Will I have any issues if I switch using the same Google services?

also I use Nova launcher, and it would be convenient if I could save that profile and import it, assuming Nova works just fine on graphene as well?

 

Had to share with somebody lol.

Mostly just doing old ps1 games for now. Gotta say i'm incredibly impressed with how out of the box things just work. I had to do a couple extra driver installs (steam controller) but it even had those right in the advanced menu.

I will say something i've noticed is that every now and then emulationstation just hangs and i can't get anything to respond in any way on controller or keyboard. have to yank power when it happens. Looks like last entry in messages pre-reboot is about the steam controller though so i may just blame that and switch it out.

Hilariously figuring out conversion of gameshark cheats to retroarchs PCSX-ReARMed was harder than everything else combined.

Finally had to just manually find one of the values i cared about to see what was missing (apparently all the xenogears cheats use 'cheat##_address_bit_position = "255"' instead of 0, who knew...)

not sure if @eadmaster is on lemmy too but i nabbed their script from an older reddit post that pointed at https://github.com/eadmaster/dotfiles/blob/main/bin/chtnative2retroarch.py and added a couple line change for bit position which got it all sorted.

 

Been enjoying playing Spirit Island lately and was thinking about picking up a couple of the expansions.

I've only got the base game so far and was wondering which expansions to go for.

One thing I'm noticing is that they all seem to be extremely well reviewed which is not making the decision any easier lol.

what do you all think? anything essential?

 

seems like it works as a shit post

 

I'm on Android 13 not 14 and I've seen reports a few months ago about this happening for 14.

I've got no option to update or roll back and all fingerprint related settings and the fingerprint functionality have just vanished as if it's not being detected at all.

very frustrating trying to remember passwords for all sorts of apps that expect biometric login.

anyone else see this or have a fix for it?

 

especially with all of the connectivity errors as things ramp up, it is very frustrating to write out a long post and then lose it when you submit it because you get some random error and have to try and remember everything you just said.

when posting or commenting you should stay and edit mode after hitting, submit until you get the confirmation of a successful post.

popping up which specific error you're getting is already happening and will be very helpful if things need to be edited as well.
