  Every smart TV is a dumb TV too. Mine has some smart stuff, I think, but I have never used it, and it has never been online.

  Are cheap EVs close in price to cheap ICE in the UK? I have no idea, I’m just curious.

  In some games storyline matters, in others… not so much. Games with a storyline trend to be less replayable in my experience. One exception I can think of is This War of Mine, that game is really depressing.

  Also Terraria is a lot of fun and more replayable than most $70 games.

  A lot of those are condos where you get cable and Internet bundles together, and you don’t even have a choice. Others might be getting a bundle but only using the Internet side. I was sick with the first for years.

  Ooh, now I want to label SAE stuff as standard and metric as standarder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw storage for 3D prints. Still need to extend for more stuff.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I love that “standard” means non-standard. I only have metric nuts and bolts, I use them for 3D printed stuff, car and bikes, and I have imperial screws and wrenches for wood working and car. I think my car is all metric, but it just felt safe to get a dual kit.

  It’s kind of funny how you are wrong in every way.

  • Union workers earn 20% more.
  • You shouldn’t work while injured. Worker’s comp is a thing.
  • You pay a dime to get a dollar.
  • It’s not abuse to take sick time, but you already stated people should work injured.

  Thank unions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As others have mentioned, the Galaxy S5 was water resistant and had a replaceable battery. Phones are generally not water proof, so don’t go dunking them in water expecting them to work. Use a case for that, also if it floats all the better.

  Adding a sealant when you close it isn’t a huge chore, although it’s nice to be able to just replace the battery without any tools, it’s better than charging. Also it would still be water resistant until the first battery change.

  Watches have replaceable batteries while having replaceable batteries, too.

  As a side note, if you drop electronics in water, take the battery out before taking them out of the water, so that the short doesn’t destroy them. The battery will be toast, but that’s cheaper to replace.
