The amount of warranty claims I had to do this year feels high. But at least the response is overall good.

Anytime I see a smartwatch app that tries to do everything I wonder. Just because you can, should you. So this is my perfect Todoist app for Pebble, instant startup, just the next few tasks and add task. No lists, no features, no organizing, reschedule, etc […]

To the person who said, "I want ai to do the dishes". My AI is doing my Taxes and compared to that get me all the household chores. 😅 (Read, it's doing the fetching of all documents and preparing a folder to send to my accountant, but still, something I hate doing with a passion)

Just to note: When you take a self assessment for ADHD or Autism and it asks something like: "do you have difficulty with ABC?" And your response is "I don't have difficulty with ABC. I've developed a System that I use to deal with ABC, and when I follow the System, I can do ABC. So it's not […]

I could tell right away that we were in for some hurt, that first helicopter fight was rough, and forces you to engage with AC6 on its terms, or else you will have a bad time. What I did find really nice was that you were just allowed to sell back any and all parts you owned for full price, so […]

💯 So that's what my unpaid labour for #Reddit is for. Knew it'd be good for *something*
Do any of you cite your mod role on
your resume?

cnycompguy:
I'd include it only if I were submitting it to a
prison or mental hospital.
The skills would be directly transferrable.

Yes, the #EU has a lot of regulations. But remember that thanks to those regulations you can use a single USB-C cable that can charge anything, rather than 10 different connectors and adapters as it was common until 10-15 years ago. Remember that it’s thanks to those regulations if you no […]

My son bought a second-hand Windows 11 PC for games, and has been having BSOD issues with the graphics card since he got it. Out of desperation he tried installing Bazzite on it, which I encouraged, but was also trying not to get his hopes up, telling him that the some things might not work. But […]

@zef When I started on my NAS/Server journey this year I moved my old 2TB drives from my QNAP to Ugreen. That made the initial jump much more managable. 1TB SSD, so no raid? Just backups I assume then?
