9·1 year agoowned the brand for 40 years before selling it to a private equity firm in 2014.
Looks like a decade on the dot. Whatever loopholes these equity firms are using to strip these businesses of all value and saddle them with debt, while not being responsible for said debt needs to be closed. They’ll sell out your entire town to make a buck and not give a damn what it does to you.

Linux@lemmy.world•Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-SourceEnglish
231·1 year agoWith what we know, there nothing to be worried about. The issue lies with the Bitwarden SDK, and not the Bitwarden apps or authenticator. The language is not entirely clear, but my interpretation is that they want to prevent people from using the SDK to create a Bitwarden app competitor. It sounds like they do want businesses to create their own, internally used client, and worded the TOS in a confusing way.

They really need to allow us to vote both up and down simultaneously for this reason.

25·2 years agoThe frustrating thing is that when I do see ads, the ad itself plays in higher resolution, and plays more smoothly than the video I’m trying to watch.
Oh man, your comment made me remember my first game that was just like tank wars. I always called it banana wars because you were 2 apes that threw bananas at each other.
Just found it… “QBasic - gorrilas” https://www.retrogames.cz/play_654-DOS.php. So many memories playing this against my dad, punching a hole straight through some buildings at high velocity because he could never figure out how to do adjust his angle and velocity to account for the shifting wind speeds.

7·2 years agoForget a curb. A single pebble and you’ll faceplant.
I’m in the same boat as you. I really wanted to switch. I had Ubuntu 20.04 installed on a partition from a previous attempt to convert. Installed all the software I needed, mapped my NAS, and then hit a huge roadblock when trying to connect my laser cutter.
Found plenty of support pages that all agree on possible issues related to either drivers or dial out access, but nothing worked. I researched and tried everything I found. So many USB drivers, a few different driver and package utilities and even drivers from repositories I came across on some Chinese websites that I had to translate and appeared to be related.
I got to a point that I thought a clean install might help. Uninstalled Ubuntu 20.04, installed Mint, tried everything again, uninstalled Mint, and finally installed Ubuntu 22.04. I spent 3 full days pushing back projects trying to communicate with my laser, but finally got to the point that I was going to miss deadlines if I didn’t start running projects.
Booted up Windows and had no issues connecting and running. I was even able to drag in a second windows laptop that had never been used with the laser before, and it just worked immediately.
I wish I could make the jump from Windows.

6·2 years ago360lbs total weight. From the article:
According to the manufacturer, 350 lbs (159 kg) of payload capacity is possible on the Dolphin, 132 lbs (60 kg) of which can be loaded up on the passenger seat.>
Looks like a compromise between a standard bike and a cargo bike.
It’s a lie to just blanketly say “there is no longer any danger of accidentally leaving a gas range open with no flame.” Yes flame failure detectors exist, but (in the US anyway) there is no regulation requiring them, and is usually reserved for the higher end models of modern stoves. The vast majority of existing stoves have nothing more than a simple valve and nothing stopping it from being left open and unlit.
From propaneHQ.com. “It is important to note, however, that if you smell propane at any time in your house, you should take it seriously and take appropriate safety measures.”. Dude you should not just be getting used to the smell of propane. Ferrelgas, Amerigas, & Foster Fuels all say if you can smell it, it is either empty or leaking, but it needs to be shut off either way.

He also cheats on his wives, cheats on his taxes, cheats taxpayers out of their own money by funneling back into himself, cheats his contractors out of payments… It’s literally all he knows. Every accusation is a confession.
