I’m waiting for the “not compatible with Windows 11” secondhand hardware dump myself.

Just defederated from usagi [dot] reisen just in case federation starts working on that end.

Is there a way to turn off the anime catgirl? Cause that’s not how I want to greet my visitors either.

Sadly, that’s an eBay photo I searched for the comment. I had that exact setup, but it got sold at a yard sale over 2 decades ago :(

Probably different batches. Recall info said it was due to an issue with a single supplier. Not even all of the listed models are affected, just certain serial numbers for each model.

I mean…I tend to take potential lithium fires seriously, especially when they’re in my everyday carry. Companies don’t issue recalls and mass-replace units on a whim.

HAHAHA. 🤦‍♂️ I’ve called them “Ankler” for freaking years and am just today learning it’s “Anker”.

It’s “Downtown Abbey” all over again lol.

No, they’re on the form. Was just providing experience of what the process is like in case people expect it to be super painful.

Yep. I’ll note that in the post. Thanks.

Process was pretty easy. Basically you have to:

1. Fill out the recall form (linked in post).
2. Provide info for the unit:
   • Model number
   • Serial number
3. It will check to see if that exact unit is part of the recall. If it is, you’ll also need to provide:
   • Where it was purchased
   • The order number associated with the purchase
4. Let them know if you want a replacement unit shipped to you or a non-expiring gift card for Anker.com
   • I selected “replacement unit” and had to provide my shipping address. Not sure if gift card needs that or not, but would assume so.
5. You have to submit two photos of the unit:
   • Write the current date and the word RECALL on a piece of paper.
   • Upload a photo of the back with the serial number visible with the paper in the shot
   • Upload another photo of the front with the paper in the shot. Also, you have to write RECALL on the device itself in Sharpie (not sure if they’ll be able to see it in mine since the case is black and you can’t see the marker at all)
6. It said the turnaround time is approx. 5 days.
7. It advises to send the unit for recycling after you submit the form, but I’m holding onto mine for now because I’m not sure if they’re gonna complain about the Sharpie not being visible in the second photo.

I had this one; felt like I was living in the future.

“…and the horse you rode in on.”

Web app, specifically, or any apps?

I’m also familiar with these three (web) apps:

• Alexandrite: https://alexandrite.app/
• Mlmym (Old Reddit Lookalike): Not sure if there’s an “open” instance of it, but several instances offer it. See https://old.lemmy.world/ for an example (not sure if SJW offers Mlmym or not).
• Voyager: https://vger.app/

Might also also check out https://lemmyapps.com/ which has a good list that you can filter by platform/feature.

Remember non vegans, your lust for meat and the resulting impact on the climate will eventually force you to stop eating meat. You played yourselves.

FYI: This ☝️. This is why people don’t like vegans. It has nothing to do with your dietary choices or choosing to not use or consume products derived from animals - seriously, no one gives a shit; you do you. It has everything to do with the militantly self-righteous, condescending, preachy, holier-than-thou attitude, the constant proselytizing, and the demonizing/name-calling/general shitty behavior that comes with the former.

Sincerely,

A vegetarian who doesn’t make it my whole personality

Edit: Every single direct reply to this has further illustrated the point I was making. Maybe instead of being preachy and condescending, you just lead by good example. If people see and want what you have they’ll follow. Otherwise, you’re just shooting your own cause in the foot with your abominable behavior.

Lol, wasn’t competing. Just my way of saying your UO checks out haha.

One of my favorite weird food combos is Doritos and chocolate milk. No idea why.

I dunno, and I’m not judging, but having had people close to me suffer from eating disorders, that arm upsets me lol.

Doesn’t matter what it is; it’s edible, and the owner of that arm desperately needs to eat it.

Pretty much same as you listed, actually, but with a few additions:

Upvote:

• Mark reply as read as long as it’s not something under the no-vote/downvote criteria
• Pity (i.e. if I don’t think a post/comment deserves the downvotes it’s getting)
• I’ll usually give posts to the communities I mod an upvote b/c I appreciate the contribution

No-Vote:

• Something I disagree with but doesn’t merit a downvote
• A post I don’t like that is in a community I’m not subscribed to (i.e. when browsing /all)

Downvote:

• Violates the community rule where it’s posted
• Is part of some bandwagon nonsense (e.g. the moths that have polluted the feed in the last several days, beans, etc)
• Absolutist statements/positions, especially ones that paint the world in overly broad strokes.
