Stop reading beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

And this is why i stick with Z-Wave/Insteon/etc. I have a local hardware controller that doesn’t have to be connected to the internet to work. It can be cloud controlled remotely, but if their service shut down tomorrow, it’d still be fully functional locally or if I exposed the server endpoint myself.

- Comment on Best Synology Replacement? 5 days ago:
I literally saw that today after I posted this a couple days ago!
However the price of their 6-8 bay systems are insane and still may push me to something like UGREEN

Which case did you get?

That looks amazing, but damn that’s expensive.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 1 week ago:
Honestly I’m using Windows Enterprise. Local accounts, GPOs to get rid of all the telemetry and other bullshit. Never seen an ad in the start menu or any other place. Just nice clean windows. Basically it’s what companies use so that Microsoft doesn’t piss them off.

He puts it in her socket to check if it’s active or not, wiggles it around a bit to make sure it’s not loose….

Human speech is between about 130-300Hz, so even with a lower poling rate it can pick it up. And assuming she sound like a mosquito, it’ll pick things up.

The only acceptable form of vibe coding
- Comment on Best Synology Replacement? 1 week ago:
So I’m seeing people mention TrueNAS and Unraid. Both look like they could meet my needs (Unraid a bit better) but the issue I run into there is hardware. Finding something in a small form factor that can hold hot swappable drives is few and far between, but UGREEN actually looks promising.
- Comment on Best Synology Replacement? 1 week ago:
One of the key things I’m looking for is size. I don’t want a server or pc because they’re too bulky. The advantage of the synology is it’s only marginally larger than the two drive bays for the drives. It’s small and quiet.

- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 1 week ago:
Yup! That’s the setting I’m referring to. The global one resets every time on me. I have to go into the show and turn it off at the start of every episode. It’s a pain in the ass.
- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 1 week ago:
Yeah I turn the setting off and next time I launch the app, it’s tuned right back on. Works fine on my PC, just not my XB1.
And the CCs don’t even get the dub dialog right. Names are beyond mangled it looks like they’re trying to run it through a realtime recognition system to do auto captions. It’d be worlds better if they just uploaded the ADR script at that point.
- Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time? 1 week ago:
So then I’m curious what happens with liposuction as the fat cells are literally removed. Does your body create more, or no longer store fat, or does it get stored somewhere else?
- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 1 week ago:
Have this odd bug where CC is enabled at first on every episode and man, it’s bad. Luckily subs for JP dubs are somewhat decent but I feel bad for anyone who needs closed captioning.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 1 week ago:
And it gets even better. Instead of up to 33% leaving, say 50% of that group convert to Premium instead of Ultimate. That isn’t any lost revenue since the price is going up to what Ultimate used to be. So that cushions their numbers even more.
- Comment on Fans Left Speechless as Capcom Locks Street Fighter 6 Finals Behind Paywall 1 week ago:
One of my biggest disappointments was when MvC:3 came out. I was hoping for something to top 2 and then they dumbed it down so monumentally.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.
- Comment on whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders? 2 weeks ago:
Dispensers were damaged, so if you tried to dispense it, it’d end up all over the floor.
(Nah, really they just exceed the daily allowed amount of caffeine and require a prescription to dispense)

H-E-B Central Market. It’s a Texas chain.
- Comment on whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders? 2 weeks ago:
The grocery store I go to has a massive wall of whole beans and the grinders are right next to them. Always like trying different flavors out.

And once you’re done telling everyone a tomato is a fruit, the rest of us still aren’t going to put it in a fruit salad.
Don’t be pedantic, you know what they meant.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 2 weeks ago:
Kindle Unlimited is the big thing that keeps my wife on her Kindle. She goes through books like candy and it’s made it seriously economical without the trouble of loading it via her computer.
