Funny thing. So I bought 2x 16" IKEA BILLY and finally got around to setting them up.

IKEA said in the showroom I could connect them together (not as an angled corner) if I wanted, but their site doesn't have an entry for the hardware.

There are parts, but they've gained mythical status, requiring finding the only official mention (on the NL site), a Reddit post reply, or a blog post! (linked in reply)

After getting them via the small spare parts form, you must drill a new hole to install.

Kinda odd that Noctua doesn't have a "versus" page against the coolers included with some CPUs.

Like, I already know Noctua's products are great, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't help them to tell other people just how much better it is than the included Wraith Stealth cooler.

What is the point of an "in store" filter on a website if none of the results are actually available today if I drove over there and shopped in person?

๐Ÿงต Looked around a bit at NAS solutions.

What I "need" right now is just a disk on my LAN I can access from within my laser cutting shed (workspace) so I don't have to haul out my USB drive every time.

What people seem to recommend is DIY (Unraid, TrueNAS) which seems to be something I'm alright with but the options explode from there because I gotta price and build the damn thing.

The rest recommend QNAP and Synology, which appear to be fine-ish.

Those might technically work fine...

Many platforms get mod features wrong and learn the hard way.

Twitter did, but Musk knows and doesn't care. He just wants his unfettered fiefdom.

Discord got it wrong too. AFAIK blocking "shades" messages from the blocked people, but you can still ask to see it.

It's frog comic with the box of cookies. "But we can open the box again."

Every time I've seen someone announce they blocked another, they inevitably reveal that other person's reply(ies) and continue responding. ๐Ÿ˜•

I think people going "Well it's not like they couldn't create an alt or just log out to see your tweets again if you blocked them" don't really understand the point and function of block features.

It's to raise the barrier just enough the other person just gives up and moves on, since continuing to be able to interact now requires work (creating a new account, etc.).

If a platform is doing its job (Twitter is not), creating new accounts to continue should net them a ban.

Reddit seems to be forcing their app more heavily.

I looked up something for RailGrade and the popup said the sub contained "Unreviewed content" so I should use their app or go to the homepage.

Telling the browser to load it like a desktop site got rid of the impassable popup.

Has anyone created a mini MS Copilot sticker you can just add to stuff that doesn't even have it?

"Salary: $160,000+ post-funding* (Salary kicks in after funding/revenue target)"

3D printing

Pros:

Get to make cool stuff at home that companies wouldn't bother making a mold for, particularly your own stuff; fix really old stuff that doesn't even have available parts anymore

Cons:

You'll never consistently know if that table at a makerfaire, convention, or faire is actually selling stuff the actually modeled themselves or just grabbed off of Thingiverse/Printables/Thangs/etc., possibly in contravention of the license.

I've seen a few job postings call PostgreSQL a NoSQL DB...

Seems weird to me. Does it actually support NoSQL stuff or is it just people pretending a it is by (ab)using existing relational capabilities in PostgreSQL?

I think the latest version of Notepad++ changed how backspace works and I don't like it.

Holding down backspace no longer deletes characters one at a time really fast.

It just hangs in place until I release it then deletes some number of characters that possibly would've been erased in that time had it done it the old way.

๐Ÿ˜•

Same thing happens with backspace. They broke both. ๐Ÿ™
