And those have taken over all the damn tv remotes. I designed and 3D printed a replacement faceplate for my Samsung tv’s remote that hides them, out of retaliation (they were in a spot where I accidentally hit the netflix button when trying to pause what I was watching, which was annoying af).

Addicted to caffeine and sugar at the same time.

I have been screwed a time or two, but honestly, most of the time I’ve had a pretty good experience dealing with Chinese sellers. Of course that’s partly because I choose who I buy from carefully, as yeah there are a lot of scanners out there. I’ve also been scammed by local people and I think it’s important to not immediately judge people based on where they are from.

I’m pretty sure the reason there are so many scammers in china, is because of the amount of poor and desperate people there, and the fact that the situation has been like that for so long, is the reason it seems to have now been ingrained in their culture. There’s a huge amount of scammers in other poor countries like india as well.

Edit: typos

Not to speak of the battery life that hasn’t improved at all.

I started on home assistant with just a couple Smart bulbs and oh boy has it gotten out of hand since then lol. Home bridge sounds good if that’s all that’s needed though.

The US is also a third world country just like china.

Fair point. Honestly had no idea as I’ve never owned any apple devices myself, but yeah that sucks and I’d probably also reluctantly stick to Safari in that case.

The problem is that Firefox desperately needs more users and even those who use the WebKit version are better than nothing. The WebKit version at least gets the name of Firefox out there.

I kinda agree about the photos, but when printing documents, it’s almost always something I need immediately. Going to the library is quite inconvenient.

I bought a used brother laser printer for 15€ and got two 1000 page toner Cartridges for it for 20€. That’s quite a lot of printing for 35€ total and that will be enough for years with my needs. Definitely worth the convenience imo.

Well if you print lots of photos then maybe but that’s about it.

Inkjet printers as a whole are a bad investment.

If someone owns a house, they kinda have to own at the very least some land around it. I just don’t really see any other way for that to work. Would be interesting to hear how that could work otherwise.

I’m totally not interested in math stuff, like at all. If I need it for what I’m trying to do, or if it greatly helps me with it, I still end up learning it anyways though :) People often say that learning in practice is the best way and I feel like that is even much more true for me personally. I’m goal oriented af, and I make all those goals myself based on what I want to do. If I really really really want to do something, there’s nothing that will stand in my way, I’ll find a way. I’m the type of person to get frustrated and say “fuck this I give up”, only to be back at it after 30 mins because giving up isn’t actually something that exists in my head haha.

So no need to worry about me telling myself that. I guess I was thinking from the perspective of just studying it because of studying it, which yeah is basically impossible for me unless it’s just something I’m really interested in and I’m stuck browsing Wikipedia at 3AM. Thanks for the encouragement though, nice stranger! I really do appreciate it.

Do whatever is your favourite hobby but crack a few beers if you drink (or whatever else alcoholic or non alcoholic drink you enjoy) while eating some of your favourite snacks and just have some good alone time!

Gaming, knitting, scale models, whatever floats your boat.

I like doing stuff but my adhd literally won’t let me learn trig 🤣 my brain will just shut down and start daydreaming of literally anything else.

Not just one Bugatti. Probably at least 100 Bugattis.

I guess it makes sense that google lost here, but what doesn’t seem to make sense at all, at least for me, is how on earth apple won when on their platform you literally have no other option than to use apples stuff.

And placing the food at the edge of the plate instead of the center.

I’ll never understand why so many people seem to be afraid of change. To me change is exciting, something new to explore, a chance to learn something new.

I’ve been using the intermet since 2003
