I did literally that.

The real solution is regulatory, though, because obviously my boycott has done absolutely fuck-all to change manufacturer behavior.

There’s a better way that doesn’t even require a wizard.

You say that as if saving $10 on a bulb once every few years is worth the risk of spending $100s or apparently even $1000s if they get damaged.

There are reasons cars have been getting ever more unaffordable (above and beyond inflation), and stuff like bespoke model-specific headlights requiring complicated tooling to manufacture is one of them.

My Miata with pop-up sealed beams gets ~30 MPG. Any aerodynamic problems it has are due to being a convertible, not the headlights.

Meanwhile, only 30 years ago when we had sealed-beams in standardized shapes, you could replace a headlight for like $10. And the lens was actually glass instead of plastic prone to yellowing and abrasion.

Between coal and kleptocrats, only one of those things is actually possible.

Only probably a decade or so later than it would’ve happened if Jimmy Carter’s panels hadn’t been removed from the White House.

No, it’s time for people to finally get their asses in gear and fucking ditch Chromium-based browsers for Firefox-based ones.

One More Time - Daft Punk

If you’re gonna say that, you might as well just count the entirety of Interstella 5555.

Anyway, along similar themes:

• Starlight Brigade - TWRP ft. Dan Avidan

• Transcendental Cha Cha Cha - Tom Cardy

• Transcendental Cha Cha Cha again, but this time set to footage from the anime “Space Dandy”

If you want to stay with the blink engine, Vivaldi or Brave. you’re part of the problem, so don’t.

FTFY.

Every Blink-based browser contributes to Google’s harmful hegemony over web standards.

Just use any GUI text editor!

When you figure it out, send me a copy so I can use it as a copypasta too.

I also have one like that somewhere.

I found my pair* of Brother color laser MFPs on Craigslist, being listed by a small business that was getting rid of them. I think you’ll have a lot better luck finding them via some method like that than by checking thrift shops.

That said, they are pretty giant, being designed for small/medium office use. However, I’m not sure there even is such a thing as a “small” color laser, since they inherently have to contain four sets of rollers instead of just one.

(* if you find somebody selling more than one of the same model, definitely get two so you have one for spare parts.)

the larger gauge wires were to carry more current required by the old halogen bulb and are unnecessarily large for an LED light

To be fair, just because the controlling factor is mechanical strength rather than current capacity doesn’t mean the need for heavier gauge wire isn’t legitimate.

We can (and should) just stop buying Sony items however as they are not doing so great on that front already.

Waaay ahead of ya there, buddy. I’ve been deliberately boycotting Sony since at least the rootkit in 2005, and I think the newest Sony product I actually bought was a Walkman cassette player.

Trouble is, Sony somehow still went right on existing as a huge multinational corporation for the last 20 years anyway. It’s almost as if boycotts aren’t enough and we actually need consumer protection law. 🤔

Revoke Sony’s corporate charter? Ban Sony products from being imported? Criminally charge the CEO and board?

• It’s a full controller, no “only one joystick” like the 2015 model.

This is 16-bit controller slander.
