- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 10 hours ago:
Left of the US Senate center, or maybe the Senate Democrat center. Not the whole US. And I mean in the 1980s, not now.

Absolutely not. Type “Lamont Lieberman” (without the quotes) into a search engine for more info. Also “Clinton puma”.

It’s ok if you call then medicines instead of drugs. Otherwise maybe ok anyway.
- Comment on Special Report: Inside Intel, CEO Pat Gelsinger fumbled the revival of an American icon [Reuters] 2 weeks ago:
I’m too tired to read that carefully right now, but it looks interesting, and calls Gelsinger out on some dumb stuff. I had thought that he had simply taken on a messed up company and done the best he could, spouting some BS here and there as required. Oh well.

- Comment on Healthiest way to charge Lithium Ion 3 weeks ago:
I think everyone likes to glue down batteries now because that helps the phone’s drop protection. The adhesive strips aren’t so bad since you can heat them a little / use a spudger to get the battery out. It’s worse when they make it very hard to get to the battery, or make you unglue delicate parts like the screen. You are probably right to be pessimistic though.
- Comment on Healthiest way to charge Lithium Ion 3 weeks ago:
Check ifixit before you buy a phone, to make sure diy battery replacement is not too difficult. Then you don’t have to worry as much. Just figure on a swap or two during the phone’s lifetime.
Other than that, keep charge level between 20% and 80% as someone said. But I think in that range, it’s ok to fast charge within reason.
Supposedly starting in 2027, all phones sold in EU will have user replaceable batteries.
- Comment on “I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I kept a tmo plan for a stupid amount of time. Eventually MVNO plans were just cheaper, so i switched. Why does anyone want to stay on some legacy plan anyway? Were any of them any good? This is what I would get for very low usage on tmobile now:
- Comment on Can Bash aliases be nested? 3 weeks ago:
I think it might not work with the spaces. But if it does, then you are fine.
- Comment on Can Bash aliases be nested? 3 weeks ago:
I think you don’t want the spaces around the= sign. Preferred over alias is function llaa { … }. Alias is for backwards compatibility.

People I know who have used this drug love it. As long as it’s not mandatory, making it available to everyone sounds great.
- Comment on Is it realistic to set up a HTPC that doesn't need a keyboard or mouse? 1 month ago:
No I was thinking more like a web front end for command line media player programs, mplayer or whatever. There must be such scripts available.
- Comment on Is it realistic to set up a HTPC that doesn't need a keyboard or mouse? 1 month ago:
I’d just run a web server on it and operate it from a phone.
- Comment on Please Don’t Make Me Download Another App | Our phones are being overrun 1 month ago:
Around here, Target (department store chain) will let you order stuff through their app and pick it up in the store parking lot. If you order through the web you have to wait around inside the store to get it. I still won’t install the app but this issue annoys me.
- Comment on At what point when learning a new language do someone become bilingual? 1 month ago:
When you can speak and think in the new language without translating to your native language in your head, maybe? That can actually happen pretty fast. You don’t have to become anywhere near fluent.
- Comment on How do decide what language you speak living on a countries border. 1 month ago:
Such people are sometimes called Grenzemensch (border person). They grow up speaking multiple languages and don’t even realize til they’re older that the languages are different. They just think you have to talk to Uncle Fritz one way and Grandma Mireille a different way.

- Comment on Huawei tr-fold review 1 month ago:
This was some years back but I think the multiple files were primarily because we took breaks in the interview and stopped the camera. I don’t remember if any parts hit the file size limits. I still have the files on a server someplace, so might check.
- Comment on Huawei tr-fold review 1 month ago:
I did the audio-only part with a separate audio recorder because the phone was full. The video is in a bunch of parts but I don’t remember if any are larger than 2GB. It is FAT32 so maybe they must be smaller. I remember the phone ran out of battery power after maybe an hour, and I plugged in a power bank (10000 mah) and that was enough for the rest of the session.
- Comment on Huawei tr-fold review 1 month ago:
$3000, yowch, but I like the idea of a small-laptop sized screen that is pocket sized. It means being able to read or edit a reasonable amount of text. I don’t need the phone or camera in it for that matter. Actually how about just a foldable HDMI monitor that size, and I can run it from another phone or computer.
- Comment on Huawei tr-fold review 1 month ago:
I shot a 4 hour interview on my 2016 Moto G4. The last hour or so was audio only because the phone ran out of internal storage (32GB) and I didn’t have an SD card in it. It has a slot though.

- Comment on Would you trust AI to scan your genitals for STIs? 1 month ago:
I dunno, maybe the diagnosis is fine but the companies that run it are sure to save copies. I can just see databreaches now, “5 million stolen dick picks uploaded to dark web”. Complete with labelling of which ones are diseased though, so that’s a help.
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 1 month ago:
Maybe Trump could escape the US by hiding in a box disguised as “music equipment” (www.bbc.com/news/business-57760993). Then the USSS wouldn’t have to accompany him.
