    Google Fi users on iPhone finally get RCS messaging

    Mint is finally ... kinda working. If I direct message with someone, RCS seems to work fine. If I'm on a group chat with mixed iOS/Android users... it fails out and gives me a "You've left the chat" message. Not sure what the heck is going on there, but it's pretty annoying (still). Hoping...

    High-severity vulnerabilities affect a wide range of Asus router models

    Are the ASUS routers the ones that will sometimes push 'critical' firmware updates regardless of this user setting? I feel like I saw that note somewhere on their UI...

    Agora Moderation - Time for new blood - Volunteers needed

    Thanks @SmackDaddy, the mods and support for traders in general has been what's kept the Agora a great [and relatively safe] place to trade.

    Judge sides with OpenAI, dismisses bulk of book authors’ copyright claims

    AI is not people. LLMs are especially not people, they are statistical models, in many cases, wholly owned by extremely large corporations. Generalized AI might eventually obtain rights similar to people, but we're nowhere near that point and I'm not sure we should be hurrying to get there...

    The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer first drive: GM’s EV platform goes mainstream

    I was happy to pick up one of the available Bolt EUVs vs. the Blazer, cheaper, still has CarPlay, and has similar range to the AWD variant, only tradeoff really is the fast charging speed, which is -slow as hell-, but we rarely need it, so (shrug?)... Still getting used to the buttons vs. the...

    [TBR] Viva La Roast! (Perpetual Thread V)

    This brings back some good memories! I literally just got the 'someone asked for your stats password' email in my inbox today and I had to wonder what in the world was going on :). I now see that our team page links to a site that's been down for > 5 years, oops :(. Hope everyone is going well...

    GM confirms it’s dropping Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from 2024 EVs

    w.t.f.... I love our Bolt, but will NOT buy a -new- car without CarPlay support again. This feels like a really, really stupid decision, but I wonder how much of it is due to using Android Auto as the baseline? My stupid Android TV based unit in the living room (and Android based units in our...

    Thank you for all you've done over the years mudboy, Beerology was hugely helpful in the days when I was trading more often!

    WTB: Guitar Hero guitars

    What I have is here: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmpZQQvNmuP4mcNdzChm9fca8m2eLA Will get pics of the games out there in a moment, but they should all have the manual/original packaging. Not sure what a fair price is [eBay pricing feels bonkers], but I'm guessing it'll be at least $20 in shipping for...

    WTB: Guitar Hero guitars

    I've got a couple up in the attic I think, along with Beatles Rock Band, Guitar Hero Aerosmith and World Tour if you're interested. Shipping might get pretty pricey, where are you located?

    WTB: Raspberry Pi Zero

    If ToolBoy can't find any, let me know. I've got a couple Pi Zero Ws (v1.1) hanging around which aren't exactly what you need.

    Wemo’s confused Smart Dimmer shows the standardized smart home is still far off

    The situation is just as bad in the BLE Mesh space, which would be my preferred approach for smart home stuff, since it removes the internet component entirely... Nearly impossible to find a functional app, and each bulb/device seems to have manufacturer specific 'tweaks' that break the...

    Feels like a great deal on that laptop, I'm just trying to figure out if I can justify it... :)

    NASA’s next astronaut transporter will be an electric Canoo van

    Probably the same reason I don't want to drive two vehicles around on trips with the family, don't want to cram into too small a space, and have to duplicate drivers/support staff for no good reason.

    Don’t Look Up is fiction. Here’s the real science of that doomsday scenario

    Lucifer's Hammer was a good listen on Audible and covers a similar scenario with a comet hitting earth.

    WTB AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

    PM sent - just as verification (not sure why I didn't think of this before), CPU-Z is here... and now that I look at that screenshot... looks like it's an AM3 board :), so I don't think the AM2 processor would work. EDIT (2): Oi, it's been a long time since I built this thing, forgot how these...

    WTB AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

    Sure, if you wouldn't mind shipping it my way so I can verify it works, I'd be happy to send the 965 back your way, should only need a couple days to swap them out.

    WTB AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

    Sounds good, I believe it will be within the next month, I'll post back out here to see if you're still interested when I get to that point. EDIT: As far as parts, it'd just be a compatible CPU and if you're not in a hurry probably more trouble than it's worth :)
