- Comment on ‘Pokémon Go’ players have been unknowingly training delivery robots 1 week ago:
When I played I just spoiled the data. I found out that you can just hold a white piece of paper in front of the camera and bounce your phone lightly up and down to simulate movement (since they want you to walk around the real world location you’re photographing). Other persons played with just photographed their shoes, so Niantic only had useless photos.
I’d guess the majority of players properly adhered to guidelines when doing AR field research. A small minority probably uploaded useless data.

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 2 weeks 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.

- Comment on GrapheneOS - break free from Google and Apple 5 weeks ago:
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.

You can fix this by tying an onion to your belt, which is a style.

- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 2 months ago:
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.
