  • Gotta watch out for your Brother's Canon.

    I'm not too sure about KyoSarah either.

    • How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality.

    Jump

  • Yes. We get hints of this now and then when digital TV breaks up and only the moving parts are updating until the next key frame arrives.

    • Anyone know a good sleep bluetooth audio sleeping wearable?

    Jump

  • I use Sennheiser HD450BT over the ear headphones. A little tricky but with a softer pillow side sleeping is fine. Can occasionally have issues with the ANC with some pillows.

    Using Brownian noise from my phone.

    • Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?

    Jump

  • A bit like Motorola phones killing messenger e even if you tell them not to, or losing photos if you press home too soon after a night shot.

    • A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose?

    Jump

  • Hey Jude.

    • When was the last time you changed your Google password?

    Jump

  • But I'm only seeing *******. I guess that's because it's your password not mine.

    Hehe, by the time it finished printing something that size, I might have expired of natural causes!

    • What is the feeling of having sudden pain in the head when woken by an alarm?

    Jump

  • There is a certain unpleasantness about being snapped out of a deep sleep by a sudden stimulus.

    It can be kind of mentally painful with a slight brief headache I guess, but probably more anger-inducing.

    • Cereal

    Jump

  • I remember the 80s ads where the right side of the letter K was imposed over a woman in profile's lips on a gaping mouth.

    Something along the lines of "Special K keeps you looking good."

    • Grid-scale batteries: They’re not just lithium

    Jump

  • Yes, but with a limited cycle life of typically 300 or so for AGM, significantly reduced if the battery is ever more than 50% discharged. Also high losses in charging, and needing an extended duration of high voltage low current charging to get to 100% from 80%

    • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious

    Jump

  • UraniumBlazer is using contractions such as u instead of you.

    Back in the early days of texting, this saved time, and potentially money as well since you paid for each 144 (or was it 160) characters.
