What about pants?

I’ve been shopping for a dash cam. It seems like all the brands are Chinese companies except Garmin?

Mass migration like that occurs (from my memory at least) when the newer alternative has much better functionality, performance, and ease of use compared to the status quo service and has a low barrier to entry (sign up is quick and straightforward). Do any of the decentralized Discord alternatives fit these criteria (honest question, not rhetorical)?

It seems intuitive but also 2000 years ago people thought that for example the eye emitting some sort of substance that interacts with the surrounding environment to be an intuitive explanation for how vision works, so intuitions need to be tested.

I really hate the collection cases some of the Blu-ray releases come in. I recently got the complete Blu-ray collection of Star Trek: Enterprise. All the discs are crammed in really tight in one single large plastic case; it feels like you’re going to risk breaking them just trying to get any of them out. The table of contents is printed on the inside of the case behind several discs so you have to take those discs out just to see the list.

Probably a dumb question, but if the website servers aren’t physically located in Florida, why must the websites follow Florida law?

I feel like every year Anker is recalling one of their power banks. Couple of years ago I had to return one of mine, but I have two other Anker models. Does Anker do more recalls than other brands?

I keep tabs open for active projects. Once the project is over, I bookmark them for future reference.

Is this edition of Looney Tunes available on blu-ray? The Max version was a 4k restoration based off new scans of the film iirc.

The peak of AI for me was generating images Muppet versions of the Breaking Bad cast; it’s been downhill since.

My partner has an entire bookcase of them, all still in box.

For me, the switch to wireless earbuds has been mixed. Not having the cord get tangled and caught on things is nice, but I’ve come to dislike how precarious AirPods can feel (to me at least).

I’m always worried about them falling out of my ear and landing in a gutter or a toilet; I have to be careful pulling them out of their case and putting them back because they’re easy to slip out of my fingers; I always have to remember to keep the case charged; if I want to take them off temporarily, I can’t just drape them around my neck (at least not without 3rd party accessories but then you have to take those off to charge so more hassle). I feel like I just can’t be as spontaneous with them as with wired ear buds.

Maybe. I’ve only known Snapchat used for sending pictures of one’s privates, which is quite direct now that I think about it.

I think it’s still used a lot for private messaging?

I use it on a Homepod Mini to toggle different lights and a fan. In my previous apartment I used it to control a window AC. Sometimes I tell it to pause my AppleTV if I can’t find the remote quick enough. I use it with FindMy when I lose my keys or bag or whatever else (I have a lot of AirTags). Other than controlling devices I mostly use it for weather reports and timers.

My partner has been using a Samsung Fold for two years, the one that folds open into a small tablet. It looked nice at first but it hasn’t held up well. There’s this film on the screen that you’re not supposed to remove and it’s deteriorating fast. There are these little patches on the screen that look sort of like bubbles. Plus even from the start you could see the crease in the middle of the screen.

My mom was permabanned from Facebook in 2020 for constantly posting anti-vax nonsense so she just went to places like Gab and Parlor. 😑
