I found a laser pointer at PetCo this weekend that charges via USB. Just remove the cap on the end, and plug it in like a flash drive. No cable necessary. Never seen one that didn’t require the three little batteries, so I snatched it up so quickly.

The last time a kid tried that in a theater, the audience booed so hard that we didn’t see it for the rest of the film. We probably scared the shit out of him, haha.

Drone Zone is great for sleep.

I’m convinced that ~30-35% of all living beings are complete and utter psychopaths, who are incapable of caring about anything that doesn’t affect them on a personal basis. Literally a third of all people going about their lives with no empathy whatsoever. I wonder what the evolutionary purpose for this is…

I used to prefer CRTs too… And then I got an OLED. Nothing else comes close, not even the best CRTs. Especially if it’s got quantum dots in combination with OLED.

Given that input lag was already solved five years ago, really the only advantage CRTs still have left is their ability to look great at non-native resolutions. But upscaling filters like HQX/xBR for retro games, and DLSS/FSR for modern titles, have all but completely eliminated that last remaining advantage. These filters are really good at upscaling lower resolution content to fit your display’s pixels. Hell, DLSS is so good that it looks better than native 4K.

Seriously, how hard is it to write a blanket, “No spyware allowed in electronics whatsoever” law and call it a day?

Did they ever have flavor?
I remember being disappointed by them as far back as the mid 90s.

And this is why you don’t get invited to parties.

Yeah but it’s called Masking. You adapt to fit the situation. In this case, since we’re talking about a town in the US, it makes no sense to use celcius. When in Rome.

As someone with Autism, this is a skill you need to learn. Otherwise people just think you’re an asshole.

I didn’t even know it relaunched. They should have advertised it better. I would have checked it out had I known it was coming back.

I’ve had a couple of parent-sanctioned sips of beer once every few years as a teenager, but never got drunk nor smoked any weed for the first time until age 20.

Mullvad is the only VPN I trust. They proved themselves when they were raided and the feds got nothing.

Mullvad FTW. They’ve already proven themselves when they were raided and the feds got nothing.

Tankies, no niche subs; no gearheads here either.

Also you annoy the hell out of me with your constant anti-AI and pro-Linux bullshit.

Yes I use Linux. Yes I understand why you don’t like AI. I’m not the biggest fan myself. I just don’t make it my entire personality.

I would pay money to see the McDonald’s CEO eat an entire McDonald’s burger product in a single sitting with zero camera cuts.

Life’s a bitch and then you die, that’s why we get high.

My main issue is losing YouTube ReVanced. I refuse to pay for Premium! Especially to one of the wealthiest companies in the world!

It’s been over 3 years now and I haven’t had a single issue. I made sure to plug in the 12VHPR cable all the way and avoid bending it. I also made sure to buy a top tier PCIe 5 PSU.

The issue was vastly blown out of proportion. Don’t be an idiot and you have nothing to worry about.

My biggest regret is going with 32 of instead of 64GB of DDR5, when I built a new Ryzen 7000 PC in 2022 to replace my aging 4th gen i5.

But what I don’t regret is ignoring everyone telling me not to do all sorts of unspeakable things to snag a $1600 4090 at launch, especially given that it was never sold that cheaply ever again. It’s a beast of a card and I’ll easily get a decade of gaming out of it. Saw 4090s going for over $3K used on eBay lately, so yeah I’m happy with making what was a dumb decision at the time.
