Another reason why I love open format earbuds.

Thought it was a tomagochi.
- Comment on Amazon will remove the option to download/transfer Kindle e-books via USB by February 2025 2 days ago:
For me a big hesitation for getting an e-reader was not feeling like I owned my own media. I love books and felt like this was a very of it ain’t broke, don’t fix it problem. After getting one as a gift, I’m a huge fan, I read more than ever and really prefer the e-reader format now. Unfortunately I think society at large is so used to not owning things anymore that there probably won’t be too many people turned off by this. Glad to hear it matters to you - would encourage you to give a different brand / platform a try.

Back when the internet was just cat videos it was all upvotes always.

Platter. Looks fancy but you know it’s just a gourmet version of cats and dogs.

Numchuck skills, bow-hunting skills, and computer hacking skills. Will those suffice?

Wow. Trellis is kind of neat! You can throw the glb into imagetostl.com and it will spit out a very usable stl quickly.

Meh, with a little bit of effort you could probably get a hand job for that.
- Comment on The Smartwatch That Was Too Good For This World 1 week ago:
I had a Garmin. Wasn’t crazy about how it did with messaging. Maybe better now though.
I like to have GPS and an RF payment option for running without a phone or wallet though.
- Comment on The Smartwatch That Was Too Good For This World 1 week ago:
I liked the idea and when I had the gen 1 pebble it felt pretty neat. It lacked refinement (in both appearance / build quality and functionality though). I think we are putting it on a bit of a pedestal here though. I’d love to see a pairing back of something like the galaxy watch to a simpler, cleaner version with better battery life. I think smart watches are trying too hard to do too much right now and that’s something pebble understood from day 1.
- Comment on Syria just hosted its first international tech conference in 50 years. 1 week ago:
That’s great. Should have these more frequently as 50 year intervals leaves a lot of ground to cover.
- Comment on Hate speech on X surged for at least 8 months after Elon Musk takeover – new research. 1 week ago:
Would have been ok if it was all hate directed at Elon but I don’t think that’s what this is about unfortunately.
- Comment on Jeep's annoying pop-up nags you to buy an extended warranty at every stop sign 1 week ago:
Assume these are at least super cheap and this is an alternative revenue model
- Comment on Elon Musk-led group makes $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI, CEO refuses and offers to "buy Twitter for $9.74 billion" 1 week ago:
They’re just playing. Fighting implies one of them could lose. These fucks can fool around at the expense and anxiety of their employees with no regard for any meaningful consequences of any of their actions.
- Comment on PayPal owns brands like Venmo, Honey and is heavily integrated into eBay - if you're looking to stop giving your money to bad companies, take a second to search their subsidiary brands as well. 1 week ago:
Yes. But was talking about PayPal brands specifically. Let’s not forget musk’s involvement with the early days of PayPal. That’s always been a turn off for me too.
- Comment on Eatin’ on the roof 1 week ago:
More likely sleep deprivation. This place pulls for that. Not sleeping is my regretful jam.
- Comment on Eatin’ on the roof 1 week ago:
I think I might not.
- Comment on Apple Maps now shows the Gulf of America 1 week ago:
Hot take, but I’d actually be fine with the US calling it the Gulf of the Americas since it is a shared gulf by north and south America. There are examples like the south China Sea and the Persian Gulf that have different names depending on what country you are in. But calling it the Gulf of America is just dumb.
- Comment on Apple Maps now shows the Gulf of America 1 week ago:
Tim Apple is literally a financial contributer to the Trump presidency. They are not being shy about their support. I’m Suprised it took them this long, but they’ve always been a bit behind with their maps project.
- Comment on PayPal owns brands like Venmo, Honey and is heavily integrated into eBay - if you're looking to stop giving your money to bad companies, take a second to search their subsidiary brands as well. 1 week ago:
Really? Maybe true for things like Nestlé but I don’t use any of these services directly and it hasn’t been difficult.
- Comment on AI chatbots unable to accurately summarise news, BBC finds 1 week ago:
Bing/chatgpt is just as bad. It loves to tell you it’s doing something and then just ignores you completely.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds AI Makes Human Cognition “Atrophied and Unprepared” 1 week ago:
It’s developed by the worst of us and taught by a bunch of shit it read on reddit. You’re thinking it might be benevolent?

Even birds are starting to seem acceptable
- Comment on If you're on the fence about building or buying a 3d printer enclosure, please let me give you a push. 1 week ago:
Pretty neat looking. Looks like something on display at a store.
I keep mine in my basement with a cam on it so I’m never really around it while printing. Although, I do love the smell of printing wood-fiber PLA.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 week ago:
I dunno man. Harrison Ford made it sound like it was more rewarding than raising children and more important than world peace. You gonna turn your back on what seems to be something more fulfilling to Harrison Ford than religion just because it’s an inferior product and it’s pushing ads in your face like a free playstore game?
- Comment on Google has dropped its promise not to use AI for weapons. It’s part of a troubling trend. 1 week ago:
If you believed any promises from Google in the past 15 years I have some insurance I would like to sell you.
A corporate promise is worth shit.
- Comment on Google Assistant car mics might be shutting down soon 1 week ago:
It’s literally pictured here right in the center of the console though.
- Comment on It’s Time To Rethink 6G. 1 week ago:
Yeah this whole article fell pretty flat with me and this analogy especially. I’d sure as hell like faster air travel and sure, I’m pretty sure I’ll find a use for faster mobile connections too. Agree I’d much rather see better coverage maps with 5G than a speed bump in the select areas where I do get a good 5G connection, but seems likely that eventually there will either be some demand for 6G speeds or it will at least become cheap enough to implement as a marketing tool by telecoms.
