Great, you stole my domain. Now I have to come up with a whole new brand for my new line of travel sized fleshlights.
- Comment on A couple of Switch 2 owners are already reporting expanded back panels, Nintendo investigates possible causes 13 hours ago:
Hmm cause… It could be the battery. Or maybe the battery is fucked. If that’s not the case they could probably have a look at the battery and see if it failed.
- Comment on Your household smart products must respect your privacy – including your air fryer 1 day ago:
Certainly sounds familiar, my tip to him is to try and write recipes down and get in the habit of mise en place-ing (prep chopping / pre-measuring) when you know what you’re gonna cook. Once the food hits the hot pan, any semblance of a plan goes out the window
(but also know “sticking to habits” is hard for us with ADHD, as it frequently goes against our nature, so don’t be shocked if he struggles there)
I tend to be the one to cook the “whatever’s leftover in the fridge” dish, which is a guaranteed source of a little chaos. In those instances it’s always helpful to have my wife around to pass ingredients or do some prep tasks on the side so I don’t lose focus and burn the onions.
Also, if you don’t already have recipes written down, having someone help build out a recipe book as you go can help smooth out future cooks.
Shout out to Recipe Keeper - after a first cook, usually from a website or book, we put everything we like in there for future reference.
- Comment on Your household smart products must respect your privacy – including your air fryer 1 day ago:
As someone with ADHD, the implemented order of operations is never logically optimal.
The more steps I have to do to course correct the more likely I fuck up the next thing.
Home automation is a godsend for me.
I don’t have an air fryer but if I did, the biggest help for me would be some sort of obnoxiously obvious reminder the nuggs are done so I don’t A) burn the house down, or B) have cold nuggs when I wake up from my hyperfocus an hour later.
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 1 day ago:
All about acid and volume. Too much of anything and there’s no where else to go.
Spicy is just for the taste buds, and reallllllly spicy comes with a bonus reminder the next day.
- Comment on Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phone 1 day ago:
Idk the exact number but the camera in my phone probably weighs like a gram or so, so Einstein tells me I’m carrying about 25,000,000 kWh in the camera alone, which if served at 5V would be ~5,000,000,000 may.
Guess I’m winning.

A hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl!
- Comment on Is it weird I sleep with an old blanket I've had since I was a young girl? 2 days ago:
Nah, totally normal, my dog came with one too when he was a puppy. Was supposed to smell like his Mom to help him settle in a new home.
If it helps you not pee in your crate I say you keep it.
- Comment on ProtoPwn - All PS2s Console's now hackable via MemoryCard 2 days ago:
Ahh good 'ol iOS. Firefox on Android allows you to install uBlock, but I think FF iOS doesn’t. I’d recommend maybe giving Orion browser a try, it looks like it has support for FF extensions (including uBO).
I unfortunately don’t have a ton of experience with iOS options.

Seriously. What ads?
Y’all know you don’t have to live in ad hell if you don’t want to, right?

I support the RTS nominations - few genre are so thoroughly and exclusively linked to PC gaming quite like RTS.

- Comment on Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor Backlash 6 days ago:
You can click on the terms you don’t know to learn about them.
This is what makes Wikipedia special. Not the fact that it is a giant encyclopedia, but that you can quickly and logically work your way through a complex subject at your pace and level of understanding. Reading about elements but don’t know what a proton is? Guess what, there’s a link right fucking there!

Also probably gonna turn out it dissolves into jsmaller plastics, perfectly sized for penetrating the blood-brain-barrier.

All counties should have policies like this - if a company gets caught committing crimes, executives immediately forfeit their bonuses (in addition to potential criminal prosecution if they were directly involved)

- Comment on I'm making a guide to Pocket alternatives: getoffpocket.com 1 week ago:
Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.
If you’re already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you’re not bookmarking constantly.
If you’re doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).
I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced
- Comment on True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup) 1 week ago:
Math remembers to carry the units for kilowatt hours.
That said, I’d pay $1.11/mo just to never have to deal with a cable on my desk again.

- Comment on Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
Yes and no, I’ve treated the symptoms, but not the problem. All it takes is a trillion dollar company buying a new domain every once in a while to foil uBlock, and now that it’s more known, anyone can create an an app that opens ports and listens for trackers.
Would love it if Firefox would let me block all requests to localhost.
- Comment on Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
We found that browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Edge are susceptible to this form of browsing history leakage in both default and private browsing modes. Brave browser was unaffected by this issue due to their blocklist and the blocking of requests to the localhost; and DuckDuckGo was only minimally affected due to missing domains in their blocklist.
Aside from having uBlock Origin and not having any Meta/Yandex apps installed, anyone aware of additional Firefox settings that could help shut this nonsense down?
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 2 weeks ago:
But I thought Edge was so crucial for the system to function it can’t be removed? That’s what MS told me at least, and I definitely trust them

- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 3 weeks ago:
Because I’m buying the $8 option from a company called “XYBENOZ”. Without reading the reviews I already know there’s a 56% chance of failure, but I’m willing to take that risk because then it’s Amazon’s problem.
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 3 weeks ago:
the fact that it suggests (pushes) the idea each time I use the website is just maddening
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this suggestion. IDK where I clicked “STFU” but I only ever remember seeing something about it once.

Never used pocket, how does this differ from just having a bookmarks folder called “stuff to read while you’re taking a shit”?
