Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Just do what I do. DVI to HDMI to an HDMI audio extractor to DVI.

    All that for one of these guys, with the speaker bar (not pictured)

    Are your rechargeable batteries on a space heater?

    [–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

    Hah, no. Kinda looks like it, though. It's a lamp, made out of a big glass vase and some LEDs, and the inside is a burned out resistive load that helped dissipate the excess energy from an old automated welding station. Basically, a big heatsink with a bunch of huge resistors. Just meant to dump a ton of energy out as heat for a few seconds at a time. I don't have any better pics of it, I'm afraid.

    ... better pics of it or it didn't happen ... ?

    Sounds like it looks cool af.

    So... batteries on a radiator that dumps heat into a space.

    Totally different than a space heater.

    It's non-functioning industrial trash that was upcycled into a decorative lamp.

    Hey, relax man. We aren't all mechanical engineers here.

    [–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

    Oh snap, just giving out personal information over here. Ill have to edit that in a minute.

    Many monitors have an audio out port in the monitor itself now. Really useful if you have multiple inputs.

    [–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

    Yeah, that is super handy. I wish this one had that. That's what I was trying to emulate with the audio extractor.

    I miss my DVI to HDMI. Had to trade it off to a friend because his BenQ tinted everything lime green over HDMI. I gotta get another one to put in my big bag of cords I'll never use but really like to have around.
