Oh look, another product of his I won't use...

Yes "click me click me" title for sure. Looks like those that can plug Into a PC can do a special boot to get write access to the GPE.bin file and remove it. (Fenix 8 for example)

Then keep BT off until Garmin fixes their side.

I'll attempt this in a bit since today is a run day!

I have talked to a real person at google a number of times in the past related to pixel support, as well as a few other topics. But it was YEARS ago. Just like every other company, it has gotten harder and harder to speak to a real person.

I tried this yesterday and just couldn't deal with that ui. I did run across a post about using uBlock Origin to block posts and it seems to work quite well!

Ya, I get it for sure... I just do not want it consuming me which is is currently doing.

boost app for Lemmy has a nice word filter and trump has been added. I'm already exhausted. I wish there was an easy way to word block on the web, since I use that more than my phone. Clearly evident, I'm on 'web' now

It would be a shameful act by the US government.

So, for sure happening

I'm sure a lot of people's self hosting journey started on junk hardware... "try it out", followed by "oh this is cool" followed by "omg I could do this, that and that" followed by dumping that hand-me-down garbage hardware you were using for something new and shiny specifically for the server.

My unRAID journey was this exactly. I now have a 12 hot/swap bay rack mounted case, with a Ryzan 9 multi core, ECC ram, but it started out with my 'old' PC with a few old/small HDDs

That might be it, but would an optical drive run off that? Guess it's all the same power wires.

I've asked my dad to snap a picture if he doesn't mind :) but it's a bit of a pain to get to

I didn't have anything at the house to split off the sata power and I was ok getting rid of my spare stuff so it worked out better anyway

[–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 5 points 8 months ago

no, this thing had a separate power/data. It was a normal sized optical drive (old thick size). I'm going to see if I can get my dad to snap a picture. They're 600 miles away so I can't just do it real quick.

Like a tiny proprietary connector, not Molex, not SATA. So the power supply had a single line running to the spinner HDD (standard SATA), and then piggy backed off that to the optical drive was this little connector. Kind of looked like a 4pin fan connector size. I didn't bother investigating after my plan to just disconnect the optical drive was thwarted
