For the topic of the thread I’ll throw in “toilets that are so bad at flushing that you need to keep a plunger next to them”

The only time I’ve owned a plunger was in a house with a broken clay sewer pipe that was about to kick the bucket.

+1. BinaryEye is far more reliable than the QR code reader in my camera.

It also has support for a large number of QRlike and barcode formats, and generation as mentioned.

I put a 3060Ti in my latest build. The NVidia drivers would consistently hard lock my PC after about a day of uptime no matter what I did. I spent ages trying to hunt down the issue, and waited through several kernel and driver versions in vain hope, fuelled by people insisting that the NVidia drivers were “good now”. I switched to nvidia-open once that released (or once I realised it existed) to no avail. Nouveau was not available at all for those cards when I started and was still missing critical features at the end.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever encountered a kernel crash in nearly two decades of Linux computing. And second, and third and…

I switched to an AMD card, a 7600 (a generation newer! In case anyone thought this was a “new hardware” issue) and the problem was immediately gone, and my PC has returned to being my sanctuary.

My problem is exceptionally rare - I think i found one other person experiencing it over the course of 1-2 years. But the concept that NVidia had redeemed themselves continues to ring hollow for me.

I guess “oyul”? I can’t really describe that first sound, maybe a shortened “or” as in “horse” (non-rhotic). The second vowel I’ve represented with a “u” is a schwa.

I would love to tell you, but I have no idea how to convey that in text

The sound is longer in “air” than “egg” and “leg”. Egg and leg are perfect rhymes for me

Secret out-of-court settlement is an option.

Thanks, you just made me realise I used the same vowel in “air” and “egg” and it makes me uncomfortable.

We do the same re: fridge in Australia, although stores are increasingly moving them to fridges recently.

My speculation is supermarkets maximise for cost, homes maximise for longevity.

Alternatively, homes tend to get hotter than supermarkets.
