Same for bicycle helmets. Maybe you are not crashing because you feel like pro rider and you are just biking 500m today, but someone else might run into you by accident making you crash. Same for seatbelts in the parking lot.
- Comment on Microsoft will now urge you to ditch local accounts on Windows 10 3 weeks ago:
Don’t worry my dear widows over lords, I’ll do as you say and ditch my local widows account. Instead I have now chosen a local Debian account instead… That’s what you ment right?
- Comment on Would it be possible to run Pi-hole, Octoprint and Home Assistant on the same RPi 3 mod. B? 1 month ago:
Possible: yes
Recommend: absolutely not
- Comment on What's the deal with Docker? 2 months ago:
I can also add that if you want to run multiple programs that each have a web interface it’s easy to direct each interface to the port you want instead of having to go through various config files that are different for each program or worst case having to change a hardcoded port in some software. With docker you have the same easy config options for each service you want to run. Same with storage paths. Various software stores their files at seemingly random places. With docker you just map a folder and all you files are stored there without any further configs.

- Comment on Air Canada must honor refund policy invented by airline’s chatbot 2 months ago:
Thanks. I do know tho, but im slightly dyslexic and English is not my first language so it’s hard for me to catch my own mistakes, while I can easily see it when others are making it. Also autocorrect is a blessing and a curse for me sometimes.
- Comment on Air Canada must honor refund policy invented by airline’s chatbot 2 months ago:
What i find most stupid about all of this is that Air Canada could just have admitted a mistake, payed The refund of ~450 USD which is basically nothing to them. It would have waisted no one’s time and made good customer service and positive feedback. Then quietly fix the AI in the background and move on. Instead they now spend waaayy more money on legale fees, expensive lawyers, employees sallery, have a disabled AI, customer backlash and bad press all costing them many hundreds of thousands of dollars. So stupid.
- Comment on These just go out with the other recycling, right? 4 months ago:
The amounts is absolutely minimal and mostly “harmles” even if accidents were to happen. To my knowledge they don’t contain actual liquid mercury but only the vapours. Of you break them by accident just ventilate the room well and you’ll be fine. Not to say it’s healthy, mercury is a serious matter and should be disposed of correctly. But no reason to be overly concerned if you break one by accident.

Antennapod is what I use now. Works just as well as Google podcasts.

windows 11Linux - Comment on My charger wouldn't fit D-batteries, so I made an adapter. Printables link, with F3D file, inside 5 months ago:
If you have issues with longevity you should focus on getting a new charger. Many chargeres over charge the batteries and completely ruins them. Do it once and they are ruined forever and they wont hold charge anymore. Take a look at lygteinfo.dk (don’t worry the site is in English) where he reviews chargers. I can recommend many of the xtar chargeres.
- Comment on How to block posts about Elon Musk (or other custom string) on computer 5 months ago:
It’s sadly not perfect as @Mananasi@feddit.nl also states, and since I like maths related stuff too and science it’ll likely filter out too much stuff. But I appreciate your efforts. An ai algorithm or a community created blacklist is probably the only solution.
- Comment on How to block posts about Elon Musk (or other custom string) on computer 5 months ago:
I have been wondering how I could do the same for X (formerly known as twitter). I’m tired of reading about it every day. I don’t know how to filter it out since it’s just one letter and it’ll filter out everything just containing an X in a word
- Comment on What to use as offsite backup? 5 months ago:
I have a raspberry pi with a cheap 5TB usb drive at my parents house that boots up once a week and pulls a backup. I use rsnapshot to create incremental updates that takes up every little space and is easy to manage. I have the drive accessible with smb should I ever need to pull a copy from there. It’s super slow but that doesn’t matter for an off-site backup and it is super cheap

I guess it’s time to just move on with your life if it comes to this
- Comment on what budget 3d printer would you suggest for a beginner? 6 months ago:
People might not agree but a prusa mini is a great reliable beginner machine but sadly way over budget. If you can find a secondhand prusa mk3 or mini within your budget I’d recommend that. They are very repairable and reliable and god for high pression prints. The best thing about a prusa is the huge amount of guides and resources online where you can find help for absolutely everything should you have problems. There’s literally not a problem that has not already been described and solved on a prusa printer making it good for beginners. If you are going to make small high quality prints you should also buy a 0.25mm nozzle and you’d be amazed of how fine detail you can get (and long print time sadly, but no way around that)
- Comment on YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads. 6 months ago:
Most ads are for products in another country so even if I hypothetically wanted it I can’t get it so why waste my time on it. And if they are multinational companies I usually don’t want anything to do with it. I also just don’t want to be advertised to. It’s wasting my time because 99.99% of the time it’s irrelevant to me.

Also wanna add:
- Missing subtitles in the language you want (looking at you apple tv without English subtitles on local language movies.)
- Ads
- Only the 2 random seasons in the middle of a TV show are available. And new seasons not added.
- Ads
- Comment on What's the point of Octoprint as a Docker container? 8 months ago:
Besides what other people are mentioning it is also excellent to use docker if you want to run multiple instances for multiple printers. I currently run 3 printers on a single mini pc that is also running octofarm for having a single entry point for all my printers
- Comment on Statement from Linus Tech Tips about Madison's accusations 8 months ago:
That’s true. And I generally don’t agree with the practices that have happened. I just hope they’ll at least get their shit together and get better at treating their hard working employers. I’m not so much of a pitchfork and torch guy and generally hope for the good in people. LMG certainly got a slap in the face now and a wake-up call it must have been. I just hope it’s enough.
- Comment on Ex-Linus Tech Tips employee alleges mistreatment and poor conditions: “no one gets a break” - Dexerto 8 months ago:
This is not really constructive information. You are being childish here. If you have something meaningful to add to the conversation just say it instead of being mocking.
- Comment on Statement from Linus Tech Tips about Madison's accusations 8 months ago:
That I can agre to. The word sorry bares some weight and to me it shows that you care even more than just doing damage control.
- Comment on Statement from Linus Tech Tips about Madison's accusations 8 months ago:
I get that. It’s not cool. Very much not cool. But everyone makes mistakes or do some stupid shit like this at some point on their lives and should at least have a chance to make things right no?
- Comment on Statement from Linus Tech Tips about Madison's accusations 8 months ago:
But how to make it better? Do you just want LMG to disappear and leave 100 employers jobless, because that’s not nice either.
- Comment on Statement from Linus Tech Tips about Madison's accusations 8 months ago:
What kind of answer would you rather have. I’m seriously asking what should the comment have been in order for you to be happy?
- Comment on Statement from Linus Tech Tips about Madison's accusations 8 months ago:
I also don’t fully understand why people are so furious. Yes it’s some pretty serious alligations from Madison yes, and some dumb faults has happened from overworked stressed employees because of some bad company policies. Manny big companies have these issues at some point but you don’t hear about it because it’s handled internally or the company just slowly dissolves. LMG are at least open and a million times more transparent than I’ve seen many other companies be. Then own up to their mistakes now and are at least trying to fix things. Shutting down for a week is pretty drastic and for me it shows that they care.
- Comment on Tesla was so swamped with complaints about driving ranges that it created a secret team to cancel owners' service appointments, source says 9 months ago:
Counter counter point: if the Tesla is doing fraud with the range estimate there is no need to estimate anything that precisely. Just make the software show the same number as guessed when you arrive let’s say you end up with 86 km left as “estimated” at the end of the trip but in reality it’s more like 42 km and the Tesla just shows something else.
