For me it’s been worthwhile just for the cheap hearing aids and free service on them. If something breaks, they will fix it no cost so long as parts are still available. Had my last pair 6 years and they would service them even past the 2 year warranty.

News@lemmy.world•Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admiralsEnglish
13·3 months agoThey need to christen their newly renamed Department of War with a war of some sort. Otherwise why go through all that trouble of renaming it. That would just look stupid.

Global News@lemmy.zip•Sniper attacks Texas ICE facility amid soaring tensions over US immigrationEnglish
9·3 months agoThis is just confusing. If the guy was anti-ICE, why was he trying to shoot the detainees? It can’t be that hard to tell the guys wearing military gear from the ones in prison garb. Maybe he was half blind using iron sites on an old M1 carbine, and shooting at anything that looked like a person? Does not make sense.

Technology@lemmy.world•Anker recalls over a million power banks due to fire and burn hazardsEnglish
1·6 months agoPut in for a replacement power pack on Friday. Just had to enter the order number from Amazon, and upload two pictures of the power pack including the model and serial number. Bought the recalled one in 2018, and it was still working fine when I charged and used it last month. Oh well, I’ll drop it off for recycle next trip to the county waste facility.

8·8 months agoDefinitely stressful, my dad had been a controller in the USAF. It’s where he learned to drink heavily when off duty. Of course, they were stationed in Greenland, so there wasn’t anything else to do.

Technology@lemmy.world•Has HP printers always been this bad?English
15·2 years agoIn the 80s and 90s HP printers were great. They just worked, even in rough dirty manufacturing environments. You could just about drop kick one, and it would still print out a page for you. Now they’re crap. The investment firm that owns the brand is past beating the dead horse, now trying to squeeze every last dollar out of the carcas.

Programming@programming.dev•What is your favorite programming language?English
41·2 years agoLogo. 🐢
Yeah, not really a programmer. Logo and Basic were pretty much the extent of my learning as a kid back in the early 80’s. Wouldn’t mind getting into python if I had some spare time. Keep coming across stuff where being able to do python scripting would be useful.
EchoCranium@lemmy.ziptoReddit@lemmy.ml•How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?English
4·2 years agoI set on Lemmy.zip during the blackout protest on Reddit, and haven’t gone back to it. Don’t miss it. Lemmy has grown a lot in the past few months. It’s only a fraction of the Reddit userbase size, but steadily filling out and getting better.


With most of the cards missing.
