They stopped being good cars in 2004. Twenty years they’ve been shit, and people are still swallowing the gravy.

I used picknbuy24 to get a Nissan Tiida for $1200 USD with like 25k miles. Parts are normally the same as they are on already imported models.

Can you dig it out of the trash? If it’s wall-side it can normally be repaired.

Is it just the frayed wires that’s causing the issue? Did they short together to destroy the charger?

It really is. Guy had the opportunity to be great, but got sick. Like losing an aging parent to Fox.

That’s true, but they use nonstandard voltages on their chargers, and it can be tough to find an aftermarket that matches both the voltage and current of stock. Then you run into the “Dell has detected a non-Dell charger” scenario.

Are ya winning, son?

If they don’t match exactly, the laptop will lock you into power saving mode or battery operation only. Real John Deere vibes.

Dell is really crappy about third party chargers. When you get one of their laptops, you are stuck in their ecosystem. They used to do this with memory as well… then they didn’t… then they did again. Don’t know which phase they’re on right now, but I’d dig on eBay or Craigslist for an exact replacement.

I used to work next to small commercial bakery, and they would give us stuff from time to time if it was near the sell-by date and they hadn’t scheduled a shipment.

One day they gave us some of those tiny vending packs of muffins, the ones with two little colorful things in plastic. They were awful. So bad we bet that even the ants wouldn’t touch them if we left it out.

It’s been three years now and that muffin is still there, identical to the day we set it down (not counting the dust).

I’ve had a few Kinesis boards, and honestly the build quality wasn’t there for the price of competitors. I’m running a ZSA moonlander now and it is a significantly better experience than I had with the split boards from K.

You can get Sennheiser PXC 550 on the cheap nowadays. Great sound quality for the money, noise cancelling second only to bose, above average build quality and actually comfortable. I’ve taken mine all over the world and they still look new.

Moondrop KXXS at 189$ US, may be lower now that their new flagship is out.

Detachable cables, metal construction, great sound for the money.

I’ve had mine for years.

My panache

Can’t go back that far, but this reads like the first few responses from a question asked in #slackware on IRC.

VM Ware / Virtualbox ?

That vendor story was so greasy it reminded me to take a shower.

If you don’t rock and stone, you ain’t coming home.
