Worth noting that the OLED and LCD charging cables are slightly different, and it’s just enough to throw off a lot of these. Most were made for the original LCD model, but the OLED ships with a slightly longer cord. So all of the inserts made for the LCD model will likely be too fat to actually fit into the back of the case after the cable is fully wrapped.
- Comment on Lending e-books in the EU just became a lot more complicated as libraries move to closed ecosystems 3 days ago:
From what I understood, it’s an unintended consequence of accessibility rules coming into place.
It’s a fully intended consequence of DRM refusing to adapt to accessibility rules. Closed ecosystems make DRM easier, which was always the goal for publishers.

If this is successful, it will open the door to a whole new level of patent trolling.
Hey buddy, remember back in 1982 when I came up with the idea for drawing triangles on the screen to make more complicated shapes? Remember when I came up with the idea for a meter that displays a virtual character’s current health level? Remember when I came up with the idea for using collectible coins as an in-game currency, and awarding extra in-game lives when the player collects enough?
- Comment on Games franchises that need metroidvania spinoffs? 6 days ago:
Yeah, a Sonic game with gameplay akin to Ori and the Blind Forest would be absolutely top-tier. Ori was largely focused on movement instead of combat, just like the side-scrolling Sonic games typically have been.

Yeah, Calibre is the way to go. KoReader is basically custom built for Calibre, and includes things (missing from the base kindle firmware) like native metadata retrieval.
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 6 days ago:
My library only offers ebooks via CloudLibrary, which doesn’t support e-readers. You have to read everything in their mobile app which scrolls instead of turning pages. It’s like someone custom built an app to be horrible for reading books in bed.

At least install KoReader before they find a way to firmware-lock the device.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 week ago:
Yup, Toyota has been solid for me. Though admittedly, they’re also one of the worst in regards to data privacy; You should assume that every single thing you do in a Toyota is being recorded and sent back to a Toyota server for ad/tracking purposes.
- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 2 weeks ago:
Yup, weight management is 95% diet and 5% exercise. A single snickers bar takes a 12 minute mile of jogging to burn off; Our bodies are incredibly energy efficient. So if you’re looking to lose weight, it’s better to just skip the snickers bar altogether.
Building muscle can raise your basal metabolic rate, (because you burn more calories to maintain that extra muscle) but even that is negligible when you consider how many calories you can consume without even realizing it.
- Comment on 'Meta Torrented over 81 TB of Data Through Anna's Archive, Despite Few Seeders' * TorrentFreak 2 weeks ago:
TPB and 1337x are torrents, whereas Anna’s Archive typically uses direct downloads. So it’s more akin to the old CoolROMs back before the massive takedown purges.
- Comment on Elon Musk LIVE | Americans Erupt Against DOGE, Protests Outside US Treasury Building Snowball 2 weeks ago:
Here’s a reminder that the Black Panthers got started because cops kept violently busting peaceful unarmed protests. People realized that the cops would send in the jackboots to bust unarmed protests… But they would politely watch heavily armed protests from across the street. So they began arming protestors.
Turns out, firing into an unarmed crowd is super easy, but it’s not so easy when the entire crowd also has weapons. Maybe you take out a few with your initial attack, but you definitely didn’t get all of them and now they can return fire.
It’s also why republicans started modern gun control with the Mulford Act. It was (at least at the time) the most restrictive gun control law the country had ever seen. When politicians saw armed protestors on their front porch, and saw cops entirely unwilling to stop it? They got really fucking sweaty really fucking fast. Ronald Reagan (yes, the same Reagan that conservatives love to put on a pedestal as the paragon of conservative policy) enacted the gun control law to disarm protestors and give cops justification to bust armed protests. Now, instead of busting the protest directly when it’s happening, cops could wait and quietly follow the protestors home, then kick in their front doors while they were eating dinner… Sound familiar?
This pushed the armed protestors underground, and formed the Black Panthers.
- Comment on What is the weirdest argument you’ve overheard? 2 weeks ago:
A hot dog is 100% a taco. The real debate is whether or not a hot dog/taco is a sandwich.
To answer this, you first need to solve two other questions: First, what would you consider to be bread? Second, whether a sandwich requires two separate pieces of bread. Is a wrap a sandwich? Most would consider a tortilla to at least be a form of bread, but it’s only one piece. A gyro, made with flatbread? What if it’s one solid piece of bread that is totally sealed, like a hot pocket, calzone, or Asian dumpling? Is dumpling considered “bready” enough to count? Or do we not count it because it’s not leavened?
And that brings us back to the taco argument. Do we consider a taco a sandwich? If we consider a wrap a sandwich, I would argue yes. Because the only functional difference between a taco and a wrap is how big the tortilla is. And if a taco is a sandwich, then a hot dog would also be considered a sandwich.
- Comment on is this something you can say to a potential new manager? about giving report in a hospital when your shift ends 2 weeks ago:
do you understand how tiring and ludicrous it is to pretend something you are not?
Yes, I do it every day. My masking is so solid that I even struggle to drop it when I’m alone.
Should we advice gays to pretend not being gay?
Only tangentially related, because of all of the hard (being murdered, being trafficked, being kicked out of home by their parents, etc) persecution that gays have historically faced. In comparison, autistic persecution has been more of the “soft” (not getting hired, not fitting in, being seen as weird, etc) variety. It’s not really a good faith comparison, because “autistic pride” isn’t really a thing.
It’s not my fault some of my coworkers stopped growing up immediately after leaving high school.
And yet it would still affect your chances of getting hired and/or fitting in with your coworkers. It’s not your fault, but it is your problem to deal with. And (aside from uprooting the entire system and only hiring coworkers who will tolerate unmasked autism) masking is the most straightforward way to deal with it.
I’m not saying it’s healthy in the long term. But that’s not what your post was about. Your post was about whether or not it would be a good idea to tell a potential employer that you hate listening to coworkers talk amongst themselves. If your goal is to get hired, then telling them that wouldn’t be a good idea. Because it would exclude you from being hired for “not being a good fit for the team.”
I just want to work and go home.
And finding a job like that is absolutely feasible… But expecting it out of every single coworker in a face-to-face job likely isn’t feasible. If that’s the vibe you’re going for, then maybe look into a work-from-home position, or something involving things instead of people. People like to prattle, especially about themselves.
- Comment on What do you use for notes? 2 weeks ago:
Yup. It’s a shame they don’t natively support cloud solutions like iCloud, which is what leads to workarounds like syncthing. It’s because they want to push their paid cloud option instead. But I also recognize that iCloud and their cloud hosting isn’t self-hosted, so it wouldn’t really fit here.
- Comment on is this something you can say to a potential new manager? about giving report in a hospital when your shift ends 2 weeks ago:
Yep, I was going to say something very similar. To be blunt, this post sounds autistic as hell. Nothing wrong with that, but (just from the way they described their interactions in the post) if OP isn’t masking then neurotypicals will likely see OP as rude, cold, or robotic.
It will likely make teamwork difficult, because many people will likely try to avoid working with OP as a result. And a manager will pick up on that during the interview process if OP says everything they did in the post. When a manager is hiring, they’re not just looking at skills or training; They’re also looking to see if you’ll be a good fit for the team.
Neurodivergent people tend to get weeded out during this process, because managers don’t want to deal with employees not wanting to work together. Is it petty? Yes. Is it blatant ableism? Yes. Is it illegal? Yes, but nothing will ever be done about it unless they’re dumb enough to say they’re refusing you specifically because you’re autistic.
- Comment on Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave. 1 month ago:
we don’t know if the worker is even eligible for leave under fmla or from amazon employee benefits
Should it matter? Amazon threatened to fire her because she was run over and shot. Her FMLA eligibility shouldn’t be a factor. Sure, Amazon may be legally allowed to fire her, but they’re still dirty cunts for doing it and deserve every ounce of scorn aimed their way.
Maybe instead of slobbing the boss’ knob because “they’re legally allowed to do this shitty thing”, consider demanding better worker protections.
- Comment on Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave. 1 month ago:
FMLA is a law that protects employees’ jobs while they’re on unpaid medical leave, but you need to be at the job for at least 12 months before it kicks in.
Basically, Amazon denied her medical leave because she hasn’t been there long enough to be covered by FMLA. So if she takes the leave anyways, she’ll be fired. Basically, they’re threatening to fire her for being a victim, because they’re not legally obligated to keep her job held while she recovers.
- Comment on Almost the entire US South is now being blocked by Pornhub 1 month ago:
That’s part of the issue; All of the “best” VPNs have stopped offering port forwarding. Mullvad and Proton are the gold standard for VPNs, but neither offer port forwarding. Private Internet Access still offers it, but they were bought out by a marketing company that was caught sneaking adware into their programs. PIA’s service is still good, but it relies on you trusting an ad company with your internet traffic. They claim to not save any logs or use your data, but they’ve also been found to be liars in the past with that adware scandal.
- Comment on FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court 1 month ago:
Sounds a lot like American sovereign citizens. SovCits believe America is a corporation that was set up on top of the Articles of Confederation, (which was the precursor to the American Constitution). They basically believe that they can refuse to do business with the “corporation” (government) and be able to break any laws they want. It’s where the “I’m not driving, I’m traveling” memes come from, because the articles of confederation mentioned a right to freely travel. So the SovCits think they can drive without a valid license or vehicle registration, which leads to lots of police dashcam footage of SovCits getting tased during traffic stops.
- Comment on Almost the entire US South is now being blocked by Pornhub 1 month ago:
Torrents only work if at least one side has port forwarding enabled. And you don’t want to rely on other people having their ports open. In order to ensure you can actually connect to a seeder/peer, it’s best practice to enable port forwarding on your end.
The issue with this is that many VPN providers have stopped offering port forwarding services, because kiddy diddlers figured out a way to use port forwarding to privately share CSAM. So it has become difficult to torrent with a VPN, because pedos somehow manage to ruin everything.
- Comment on Almost the entire US South is now being blocked by Pornhub 1 month ago:
Proton or Mullvad are the two go-tos.
Private Internet Access used to be trusted (and still has good service, fwiw) but they were bought out by a company that was caught stuffing adware into their programs… So people have been hesitant to actually recommend them in the wake of that.

The true ‘90s experience: Watching your .jpg porn load one row of pixels at a time, only to find out it’s censored right as it gets to the good part.
- Comment on Almost the entire US South is now being blocked by Pornhub 1 month ago:
Yeah, all the people will flock to free VPNs. They’ll google “how to get around blocked porn” and the free VPNs will be at the top of the list. And the issue with free VPNs is that if you’re not the customer, you’re the product being sold.
Though it would be a great way to catch a bunch of conservative politicians cranking it to gay porn. Because if they’re using those free VPNs, (because they’re all +70 years old and have no idea how to actually stay safe online,) then their data can be bought.
- Comment on This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store 1 month ago:
And that’s why I mentioned random drug tests. You don’t always get the luxury of knowing you’ll be tested days in advance. And yes, it’s easy to say “just don’t do drugs while on probation” but the sad reality is that drugs are surprisingly easy to get in prison. It’s common for many people to become addicted while incarcerated, (because it’s one of the few respites they get while incarcerated prison) and then they piss hot after being let out on probation, and get thrown right back in again. It’s a cycle that the system has intentionally set up, to ensure prisons are perpetually full.
- Comment on This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store 1 month ago:
You’d think so, wouldn’t you? It should be common sense that if you’re interviewing for a job, you should probably not be doing drugs in case they test.
But also, random drug tests are a thing.
- Comment on This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store 1 month ago:
I can almost guarantee someone was trying to pass a drug test. Fake piss became easy to buy, and even include things like under-belt harnesses and fake penises. So even if someone is in the room watching you take the test, it still looks legit. So modern drug tests will also check to see if the urine is at (or at least very near) body temperature.
And this presents a problem with fake piss kits, because the surface of your skin doesn’t typically stay at body temperature; It’s usually anywhere from 90-95° instead of 98. Which means that even if you wear the belt pack all day, your body heat won’t be enough to warm the fake piss up enough.
So some people will resort to microwaving it just before they walk in. Get it to like 103° at the gas station across the street, (warm, but not enough to burn you when you wear it) so that by the time you walk across the street to take your drug test, it has cooled down to body temperature.

I’d argue that having them be 30 or 40 years would even be fine. An author who starts in their 20’s should reasonably expect to keep profiting off of their early work until they retire in their 50’s or 60’s. But the current state of copyright is just asinine, because it is basically written by and for corporations.
- Comment on Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash 3 months ago:
And what about the passengers? Is the owner going to be required to give an airline attendant “emergency exits are located here” safety speech every time someone hops in the car with them? Can we actually trust them to do so?
Also, not all models have mechanical release mechanisms in the rear doors. There are models where it is 100% possible to just be locked in the back seat. And when you only have ~15 seconds to escape before the lithium flames+smoke cook you, you’re not going to be able to crawl to the front.
- Comment on Fritz Haber moment 3 months ago:
Similarly, the process for purifying aluminum is still the same as it was when it was first invented. Prior to the discovery of the Hall-Héroult processes in the mid 1800’s, (two men discovered the same process at the same time in different parts of the world,) pure aluminum was extremely rare. It used to be considered a fine metal, more expensive than silver or gold; Napoleon famously had aluminum silverware that he would use (instead of real silver) when he wanted to impress guests.
