Well, there’s your problem
- Comment on Twitch is getting vertical livestreams 4 days ago:
Looks like this is an opt-in, supplemental crop mode, for streamers who have stuff that would work well for vertical orientations. Talking head stuff, live solo-artist music, etc.
The existing content experience is still there, but if you’re standing on the subway, and you’re watching a streamer react to a press release about a game, you can turn your phone and watch them babble in landscape while you hold the poll.

- Comment on Developer Builds Tool That Scrapes YouTube Comments, Uses AI to Predict Where Users Live 1 week ago:
This is something an LLM can do really well, really easily, with little engineering effort.
The cat is out of the bag. Most of us have a bunch of unstructured comment data that is peppered with references to local weather, policies, sports, etc. Determining what city or what district you live in is, sadly, not hard in this day and age.
This only requires a quick integration and some promo engineering. Assume people are already doing it.
- Comment on Toilet Time 1 week ago:
I have that exact same Toto toilet tank in the states.
Buttons are more common on dual flush toilets. One button is for a small flush, the other button (or both pressed at once) is a larger flush. These toilets are pretty common in parts of the world where water is in short supply and or expensive.
Lever based dual flush systems also exist, but they’re usually less common. You push for one type of flush and pull for the other.
That said, my folks have old push button toilets from the late 70’s. They’re single flush, and the button is side mounted. The buttons were just cool for the sake of cool, and lots of American plumping supply places still sell new parts for these toilets.
TL;DR: they exist in the US, but you’ll see a lot more out in the dry ass west.

Re that sagging flush button.
It’s a 2 second fix. Under the lid there is a little white plastic bar with threaded nut. Turn the nut to raise the bar and raise that button.

- Comment on VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI 1 week ago:
There is another major reason to do it. Businesses are often in multi year contracts with call center solutions, and a lot of call center solutions have technical integrations with a business’ internal tooling.
Swapping out a solution requires time and effort for a lot of businesses. If you’re selling a business on an entirely new vendor, you have to have a sales team hunting for businesses that are at a contract renewal period, you have to lure them with professional services to help with implementation, etc.

Or just use it like OG ITunes and don’t pay for cloud hosting.

You can still use the music app just like iTunes. You don’t need a subscription.

- Comment on In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app 1 week ago:
Apple technically lets you play music directly from iCloud via the Files app, but its functionality is not designed for music listening. It lacks essential features such as playlist management, metadata sorting, or playback queues. While it supports music playback, it’s very limited and overall not a good user experience.
I’m confused. Shouldn’t you be using the music app for all this stuff? That’s what I do.

Fucking lol. 6 weeks ago the brand team just changed all the brand colors again. They went from purple back to black.
Somewhere in NY there is a sign company making a shitload of money swapping signs off the HBO building every few weeks.

- Comment on Inflation markers 3 weeks ago:
I mean, you can do it, but if you have steak that feels like jerky after 30 min in the over, you just likely just created overcooked steak.
Oven jerky takes many hours and you should occasionally open and remove the escaping moisture.
- Comment on Inflation markers 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, most of the oven recipes I’m familiar with are several hours at fairly low heat. You’re trying to dehydrate the meat, not bake it.
- Comment on Inflation markers 3 weeks ago:
Only 30min?
You sure you’re not just eating poorly cooked steak?

Looking at the downvotes, remember upvoting an article ≠ an endorsement of the shitty technology being discussed in the article.
We shit on the technology in the comment, and upvote it so more of us can read about it and shit on it.
