  I agree with the meme because damn I can’t wait to leave wherever I’m at and go home

  But on a more serious level, why should you be leaving so quickly? It’s bad for the car to start it and then immediately take off.

  If your gas engine car has been parked for a long time and has cooled from operating temps, you need to give it time to warm up first. Start the car and let it run for a minute. This allows time for fluids to cycle through your engine and radiator. Then you can drive, but don’t drive hard until your oil temp and coolant temp gauges rise to normal operating levels. Treat it like a workout for your body; you don’t go outside and then immediately begin sprinting. You want to start slow to warm up your muscles first.

  Note: some modern cars indicate in the owner’s manual you can drive after 10 seconds from starting your car. You can listen to the manual since the engineers built your car and know it best. However, giving it sufficient time for fluids to flow through is always best. I always wait about a minute to play it safest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I picked up a 2025 P14s Gen 6. Wanted Ethernet and the ability to easily swap both RAM sticks in the future. Apart from the soldered WiFi chip, this computer is by far one of the most modern and repairable ones I’ve seen. Perfectly runs Fedora KDE, too.

  T series are also fantastic, but at the time it wasn’t as repairable given one RAM stick was soldered and the other was replaceable. Also because of the form factor it didn’t have Ethernet.

  Can’t go wrong with a P series if your needs are similar to mine in a computer for long-term use.

  For now. GrapheneOS is partnering with an OEM that will offer smartphones that meet their hardware security standard. They announced this a while back and are expecting to be able to reveal the new OEM either this year or 2027. The exciting thing is it will be running on modern Snapdragon processors rather than Google Tensor.

  Hopefully all the hardware component shortages due to AI won’t have an impact to this OEM’s plans.

  Fucking buy the game already. It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.

  It’s worth full price. Very, very few games are worth the full price.

  I’d buy this game again on Steam if I could.

  Debating finally picking up Hellblade II since it’s 75% off. This holiday I’m planning on playing Hi-Fi RUSH so I might hold off since I’ll be busy with that game. The spouse and I are also considering playing Jedi Survivor (if it’s cheap enough and we’re happy picking up two copies) or Clair Obscur. With these games lined up, I’m on the fence for Hellblade and probably will wait.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had the same problem too. Many years ago in December the final weeks when businesses are slow, I painstakingly went through and edited every single one of my accounts one at a time and changed emails. If there was a legacy thing I couldn’t access or a system that wouldn’t let you change your email, then I discarded it. How do you eat a dinosaur? One bite at a time.

  Through my investment in time, all my accounts are managed via the method I commented above. I own my email, and I control how I get contacted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been off Gmail for years and deleted all my Google accounts. Here’s how you can do it, too.

  Step 1: Export your emails from Gmail into an EML file.

  Step 2: Sign up for a new paid email provider: Tuta, Mailbox.org, Proton to name a few.

  Step 3: Import your emails.

  Done.

  Optional Steps (that I recommend):

  1. Buy your own domain name (e.g., YourSurnameEmail.com)
  2. Set up your email provider to use your Custom Domain name. Or alternatively, sign up for a service like Addy.io and use your domain name there to create alias emails.
  3. Go to your domain name manager and add the settings your email provider tells you to use. This will enable your domain name to serve emails.
  4. Start sending and receiving emails using your own custom email address that belongs to you.
  5. Don’t like your email provider after a few years? Simply find a new one. Change your domain name settings to point your domain name to your new email provider. All your email addresses stay with you and you NEVER have to change email addresses again.
  6. Swap every email login you have to use a new alias email. For example, facebook123@yoursurname.com for Facebook, random.word123@yoursurname.com for some web site login, Steam123@yoursurname.com for Steam gaming, etc. Save all credentials to your password manager.

  With this, you now have a unique email address for every single service, and all those alias email addresses forward your email to your actual email address. The benefit is that no one knows your real email address except you. Bye bye SPAM. When an alias email gets leaked or sold, you’ll know which company failed you. Simply swap to a different alias email, and disable the compromised alias - all SPAM stops.
