I finally figured out what's wrong with my dryer!
There's no drum to put the clothes in. This is a rookie mistake, Samsung.

@foone a badly designed Samsung appliance? Checks out.

@foone Let's see, that's 87 years old in Samsung Appliance Age

tbh I know a lot of you aren’t ready for the end of Man because you aren’t even ready to revert to the quality of life in the 1980’s. We’re talking European QoL here. No A/C.

Imma b real I’m Alt-F4ing when that happens I’m not sticking around to live like that.

@SwiftOnSecurity Europe is like Seattle: grey, expensive, and slowly getting AC.

I'm gonna see if I can get my raspi to boot from a spinning rust drive. Why not?

@foone Should do. I've been running my 4, and later 5, off an SSD in a USB enclosure. Although the latter just graduated to NVMe.

Ought to be faster than an SD card? Although this is where you, specifically, bust out a Winchester drive or something bonkers!

I keep forgetting that I hate keyboards

this makes it a bit of a problem given that's like 1/3rd of everything I do

@foone I like that the calculator key is basically the NASA meatball.

Here's something cool I never realized existed:

PCBs distributed through magazines!

@foone I vaguely recall doing this in school in the early 90s. You create the circuit on a transparent sheet, building it out of little black lines, circles for pads etc. Maybe they were stickers? I dunno. Anyway, somehow you put it on the board and shine light through it, them put the board in a vat of corrosive stuff which etched away leaving the desired circuit.

Wowsers, I haven't thought of that in decades.
