• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Pebble Has Been Brought Back⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I pre ordered, and I’m usually annoyingly loud about not pre-ordering. That being said, i love my pebble time. I Kickstarted it back in the day, and it still works but the battery is weak. I could replace the battery, but i want more devices like this, so I’ll put some money in and eat Ramen for a few weeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What host names do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have pebble, pabble, pibble, rebble, rabble, ribble and nibble.

  Though the primary server is old enough that it was from a time when I named everything after Transformers, so it’s Shockwave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was your favorite shareware game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only problem I’m having with jellyfin is around subtitles, but it’s getting better all the time. I bought the plex lifetime license a few years ago, but we’ve moved our whole house to jellyfin now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s wild to me how hodgepodge the software was. It’s the software equivalent of the Ford pinto, great and then boom! But for a long time it’s all there was.

  There were competitors, but nothing offered everything like the blackberry platform in the early 2000s, the (user facing) software and keyboard combo were nuts, and when the trackball was released (Curve? Pearl? Idk) it was like having a little computer in your pocket.

  You need to be the right amount of high to properly understand fusion. Too far either way, and it doesn’t make sense.

  Well that’s just about the cutest darn ring I’ve ever seen.

  Disc rot is a serious problem for cds, is this just someone damaged the disc?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that Amazon has different prices for different people⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen any studies, I seem to remember there was some news reports many years ago.

  I do know that I’ve stood in my living room, on the same wifi, and looked art the same item from Amazon on my phone and my brother in laws phone and seen different prices. But that’s just another anecdote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What websites still feel like the old internet?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
