I’ve never heard “tinhorn” used to refer to an actual object - what an interesting twist language makes through different eras and groups.

The only definition I’ve known is the “inexperienced gambler”:

tinhorn gambler

A cheap, small-stakes gambler who boasts and dresses ostentatiously to seem more successful or skilled than they really are. An allusion to the dice game “chuck-a-luck,” which features a chute, called a “horn,” from which the dice are dispensed. More high-class leather horns were often substituted with makeshift tin ones, and thus cheaper, lower-stakes gamblers were known for their tin horns.He always wears the same three-piece suit and slicks his hair back like he’s the Great Gatsby when he comes in to play, but everyone knows he’s just a tinhorn gambler who taps out after losing a couple hundred bucks.

Not to say you’re using the term incorrectly, at all, just a neat observation about how language drifts.

That’s a week of continuous run time?

I’m as optimistic of experimentation as the next person, but 180 mile range isn’t much. By the time you get to the olane, load up, etc, etc, you could’ve driven.

Which romance languages, at that! They’re all different! Haha

Hahaha, that’s pretty good!

It had its own logic before the inanity of French came in during the Norman Invasion

Let’s clarify some things:

When you say “server running and connected to my TV”, do you mean the computer running jellyfin is physically connected to the TV by a video cable (HDMI, DIsplay Port, etc) or your server can see the TV on the network?

And I can’t make heads or tails of this:

The TV and the server recognize the file, but the library file is empty.

To clarify, Jellyfin is a media streaming server, which Jellyfin clients can connect to and stream from, over the network.

If you want an app on a computer to play media direct to a TV via a display cable, I’d use something like Kodi, which is designed for that use-case.

“Smart” tv’s are notoriously bad at being supported by things like Jellyfin clients - it’s not the devs fault, but because the TVs are so inconsistent with what works.

So if you’re trying to stream video from your Jellyfin server on your TV, you’ll need the appropriate Jellyfin client app on your TV. If your TV has an app store, look there first. If you’re on a Samsung there’s a version you can install manually to Tizen-based tv’s.

My experience with Ubuntu is it’s a serious performance dog, at least as bad as Windows, and the devs intentionally left out some components because their paradigm is… unique (eg left out all the remote access infrastructure because although it’s intended for mass deployment, no one will ever need remote access to support those systems).

After 3 months of fighting their bass-ackward thinking, I dumped it for all the far more sensible distributions.

Also, Jellyfin runs fine on Windows, though since it’s a server Linux is a better choice, especially virtualized or containerized.

You do know the exhaust pipe is to exhaust engine combustion, not the interior of the car, right? And that it’s continually pumping exhaust out as the enfine is running.

Along with that, dishwasher detergent is very concentrated, and useful for cleaning anything really greasy, or when you need it to not foam up (bottles/jars).

As someone who did auto detailing decades ago, razors are how you get everything off glass.

And then triple-Zero (000) steel wool. Don’t use anything other than actual 000.

And then there are plastic razor blades for getting stickers off paint.

And the description… Oh my

Mr. Wonka don’t know my family…

I remember joking about Chrysler commercials fir their minivans in the 80’s touting how many cup holders they had.

Seemed silly at the time… Still does today!

How do you know of you haven’t logged in yet?

Yea, us low data users are the exception, so they don’t market to us.

In the US, USMobile has about the best rates for low data plans. I think I’m paying $20/mo for 2 lines at 4GB (shared), and adding more data in a month is cheap. So cheap I’ve set it to automatically add more if I go over.

I want one.

This is the second phone with keyboard announced this year.

On screen keyboards with autoincorrect are fucking awful. I despise them.

Edit: On my Treo I could assign anything I wanted to key combos, like on a desktop. So the calendar button could launch 2 or 3 other things depending in the modifier I held (Ctrl/shift, etc). It had 4 dedicated buttons: Calendar, email, messaging and one other. You know, the things I switch through a million times a day. Way faster than “Go Home, find icon, etc” (which I don’t use anyway because it’s fucking awful design).

There are other phone companies.

Graphene is working with a manufacturer to build a device for them.

Also, Graphene isn’t the only game in town. Lineage is fine, yes, you can’t re-lock the bootloader on most devices, but frankly that risk is overstated for the average person. For the people who need that kind of security, if they’re that big of a target then the actors after them will have state-level capability. So it’s a deterrent for less-capable adversaries.

Pull all codes, (all of them), lookup EACH one.

One will be the root cause.

There’s a $5 code reader that works over Bluetooth with the free app Torque. I’ve used it for years. Do NOT leave it connected to the OBDII on a Toyota - it’ll cause spurious codes. Throw it in the glove box when not pulling codes.

Toyota’s are staggeringly reliable, especially a 2009 Corolla - it’s the same engine they’ve used forever, but updated with a modern ignition system. It probably didn’t need coils or plugs (plugs maybe). When a coil is bad you’ll get a code for that specific coil.

I’d be more inclined toward a vacuum leak in the intake downstream from the MAF sensor. Check the hose, see if there’s a crack. A simple trick is to start the engine and spray anything along the intake hose - WD40, carb cleaner, brake clean, etc. If it sucks it in the engine will stumble and you’ve found the vacuum leak.

These are very simple engine setups, little to go sideways. And codes are pretty accurate on these engines.

Hahahaha

Proper winter tires in the worst of conditions are 99% what you need.

Studs come in to play in rare situations.

Source: grew up driving on ice all winter. Not “snow”, just ice. Eventually found Nokian Haakapaliita tires (Finnish), even the worst over-powered, open-diff, FWD car suddenly goes (and turns, and stops) in the worst conditions.

I refuse to use any other tire for winter.
