What's your useless skill?
-
Pretty much, closed forums, removed or paywalled features. Right now, they are on yet another iteration of dumbing down the UI to the point of being nearly useless.
It’s sad that all I needed to do was know that Amazon bought them and put the rest together based on a long list of shit they just ruined.

Oh man so much love went into crafting code for low end MP3 players in the Rockbox project, then everyone ended up carrying around smartphones with tons of compute and memory resource to waste
Man I still use my iPod with rockbox. A terabyte of storage and a massive battery and I never have to worry about giving streaming revenue to pedo rapists like red hot chili peppers, or worry about rumors being true about pedo rapists like panic at the disco

Honestly, I think this skill could easily translate to one of those "lore keeper" or "continuity expert" jobs people have on TV shows.

Polysulfones. Tough bastards and spendy.
PSU is definitely not the top of the list but still in the wheel house. Takes a lot of force before it snaps off with the snips. Send it over.

Rockbox was so cool. I had it on my SanDisk Sansa e250. It was so awesome. Better video format support, better interface. And it ran fucking DOOM.

I have this same skill, but with voice actors.
Me with anime
Granted I watch mostly >decade old stuff dubs, so it's mostly the same 30 VAs in every show

They must have been one of the main markets for Polaroid. They must have been dejected when production stopped.

I can build majority of flat pack furniture without the instructions, first time, every time.
Do you have any leftover screws?

My S-tier abitity to hyperfocus on learning useless things to the detriment of everything else.
Well, if there's a choice between learning something relatively tedious and completely useless, and something relatively tedious that's urgently needed... I know what I'm going to pick!
Oooh, an installation manual for a 1935 refrigerator!

My SO can identify all actors by voice (she follows all films by ear because she's playing some kind of Candy Crush game — several of them, because she runs out of levels). And as a lot of them are foreign, and dubbed, she'll tell me that this was the guy that was doing the voice in (litany of roles).
Of course I have to pick films accordingly. She's never seen Tenet.

writing code that doesn't need a browser to run on
Preposterous! What can code run on if not a browser!

Does it fly tho?

Do you have any leftover screws?
Never! Unless they gave me too many...
But seriously I don't use the self tappers or nails they give you as they awful, made of soft cheese.

Its a good hobby. I have a 14 year old Iomega network drive that I loaded Debian onto. It will serve audio or samba shares without overloading the 256MB of memory

Ah shit. I do this and I just assumed my kids were cool with it. Thank you for being the mirror I didn't know I needed.
Your kids might appreciate it. Just ask.
