I got grandfathered in when they shutdown Google Play Music and it made Youtube so much more enjoyable of an experience. If I were to sign up today, I wouldn’t pay for Youtube Premium, but I’ve been spoiled and don’t want to go back to how shitty Youtube has become.

Don’t worry, they have DreamBerd

Booleans can be true, false or maybe. Technical info: Booleans are stored as one-and-a-half bits.

I’ve been using Philips Hue bulbs with Zigbee in Home Assistant for years without issue.

Something like BookWyrm feels like it’d be perfect to adapt to business reviews

Now that this project exists, I’m sure it’d be relatively trivial to implement in the app

Icky, Steve Mould, and Swell Entertainment? 10/10 Youtube feed

Isn’t that ideally what the government is supposed to be? We can’t all individually fight for ourselves, so we vote for people to represent us and work to protect our interests. That is, if politicians actual represented their constituents and not the highest bidder.

I used to find stuff like this fascinating. Like if collecting my data can help me, why not? But technology has gotten to a point that it’s just straight up creepy how our every single waking moment can be tracked and collected, even if it’s me collecting it. It’s like watching every dystopian sci-fi story come to life in real time.

Can we stop making everything digital? I can’t see a single benefit of turning my license plate into a screen

Tasker is the reason Android is so much better than iOS

This reminds me of Flexplay, which was a DVD that had a coating which made the disk unreadable after 48 hours. Technology Connections did a wonderful video about it.

I believe you can export as an STL from Orca Slicer, though I haven’t done it myself. You’d basically merge the STLs in Orca, export, and then open the exported STL in the slicer of your choice.

KOSA is the one thing that the “both sides bad” group have going for them. The Democrats true colors really shine with their support of it. I’m well and truly shocked it’s the Republicans who killed it, though I suspect that’s because it wasn’t “rules for thee, not for me” enough for them.

Using AI to detect AI is completely useless. It’s been a big issue in academics, where a professor will plug your essay into an AI detector and then you get dinged for plagiarism because your entirely handwritten essay gets marked as AI. It’s just glorified pattern matching, it has no concept of real or fake.

I have a family member who works for AT&T. Run far far away and consider yourself lucky you couldn’t get an interview.

Why do I want that as a tattoo?

Yeah, for sure. As frustrating as it may be, I’m always understanding with the support agent. They’re just doing their job, it’s not their fault there’s a procedure they need to follow.

Lol wait, I’ve had to do that too. I think it was for a dead pixel.

The worst for me was with the Nexus 6P, the last phone before they rebranded to Pixel. There was a known issue with the battery, where it would die when the phone said it was at like 50%. I jumped through all their troubleshooting hoops when it was obviously a hardware issue. They eventually agreed to send out a replacement and I was assured it wouldn’t have the issue. Lo and behold, it did the exact same thing as soon as I got it. I went through all the trouble shooting again and they sent ANOTHER replacement that still had the issue. I was so fed up and just kept requesting to talk to someone higher up and they eventually just sent me a Pixel 1 to shut me up.

Contacting IT is always my last line of defense and I get unreasonably frustrated when they refuse to help without walking me through basic troubleshooting. It’s like, I’ve already figured out the cause of the problem, just tell me where the button is to fix it. The worst was when I had to RMA my Pixel phone and they made me go through every step I’d already been through just to come to the same conclusion I initially came to them with.
