Thank you for saying it. Reddit still has a pocket in the public conciousness that its still the 1st place to go for answers. It isn't and it hasn't been for a loooooooooong time. Not just for the reasons you say, but severe tomfuckery with what they show to SE indexing bots. Most of the links that lead into Reddit are shady as fuck, rarely lead to any good information, and are clearly bubblesorted up in the search algos for mysterious reasons we can't know in specifics. I did hardcore SEO for 2 years so I have at least a spidey-sense that there's major shenanigans.

That can be done but the voltage that it receives is variable so that's causing damage. Which ripples down the chain, it's not avoidable no matter how much you put in capacitors and diodes

It's really just an unavoidable aspect of electricity, people think of it as magic fairies floating through wires but really it's like ropes pulling on things, and just like mechanical things, ripples and vibrations fk things up!

If you're really want to get down to it, electricity is destroying things by its very flow. But you want to reduce the unwanted harmonics as much as possible and wireless is not the way to go

That's not a counterpoint, you're just describing that you had a battery that was okay for 4 years

It doesn't say anything really I'm sorry friend

I know people love these and I'm not going to go and break anyone's balls but the reality is, because it is inductive charging you will never get clean voltage

Anything electronic, it really doesn't matter what it is, is going to suffer basically the equivalent of "mechanical damage" when powered/charged with unstable current

An inductive charging is always going to be highly unstable, there's no way around that

Anybody who tries to tell you different just doesn't understand that this is a real thing, and yeah, really nobody should ever use wireless charging unless they're willing to accept continual device (battery) damage

I had the exact same experience. I am a man that suffered tremendous amount of violence at the hands of my female caregivers and partners. I reported a similar hate-based comment against men and I got banned temporarily.

Yeah we have people that are fucking starving and borderline ready to riot in the streets like the depression in the twenties, child labor in the states is on the rise ... Fascism is on the rise... Basic human rights in the developed world are on the decline... Concentration of wealth is at an all-time high and the population which does all the work has the fewest resources in the history of the entire earth...

But "fuck Nestle" is the refrain

Put in a p in any URL to get a slideshow carousel. Great for self-flagellation. Redditp...

Please stop smoking the drapes. We are in the rise of massive fascism worldwide - I literally don't understand how you could make such a statement.

Not to be cynical, but the same human sludge on Reddit is now here. There's a major problem with the collective consciousness that a new platform won't solve.

If it makes you feel any better, Reddit is and always has been shit. From their "fake it till you make it" days to the "narwhals and bacon" and then the RealFeelz(TM) community make-believe. It's the people that made it what it was, the platform has always been a steaming loaf of shit.

edit: Oh wait, how could I forget the ViolentAcrez days. The LARPing mental case that had 300 accounts and VPNs before most knew what that was, and spent his entire LIFE trolling until he got found out by his employer who very publicly humiliated and fired his ass. The same fuckwit that Spez partnered with to run all kinds of scum subs like JailBait, etc. Reddit is shit, made by shit people. Good people accidentally found it now they're leaving.

Edit... Oh what else? I was literally there before commenting so let me just see if I can pull from the steaming shit pile of reddit experiences I've had over the decades...

Does anybody remember her name? I want to say ... S... Sahaya? Sahasha? I could be way off the beam so don't let those guesses mislead you. There was a female who represented herself as a massive pillar of the community and posted almost 50% of the content. I and a few other people meticulously tracked down the fact that she in fact was an online marketer acting in a stealth capacity. The more savvy and experienced users at that time, remember this was like 2002-4(?), we could see through the ruse based on the pattern of her posting. Literally within 10 minutes of revealing the truth about her, she vanished, never to be seen again. So yeah literally the entirety of Reddit was a giant advertisement at first.

What else now? Let me have a few more bowls and I'll see what else I can recall.

I was sign up number 3. I emailed Spez his own source code because he had the error reporting on his Web Server set to "VERBOSE".

I was permanently banned for an answer in an AskReddit thread that amounted to "what is true in your line of work that you can't say". My answer was that (edit: as I work in a highly female-dominated field of social work 30 women for every man).... non-males are insanely violent and one of the huge lies that is held in the public consciousness is that "men are the violent ones" when the reality is all people are violent, and there's a tremendous amount of IPV especially in same-sex partnerships. Banned for "advocating violence".

Edit oops I edited the wrong comment lol

People who use it are intuitively unaware that it is shit. You can't have a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of a picture of a picture of a copy of a hand-drawn-facsimile and expect anything but the lowest-resolution wet feces-word-salad.

As an electronics hobbyist and frugal person ... you can just literally add CA to any model number and you'll get the Canadian version. That's just one thing I'm aware of but I'm sure there's other ways and I'd love to know

I had to laugh at this. I do a lot of hobby electronics repair and yeah, these pieces of dog shit are all over our local "collector" "vintage" and "retro" boards. Yeah imma give you $80 for your Sears cardboard box that's also water stained, and even when it was new had incorrect and also non-adjustable platter speed /s

Not a lot of meat on this article, but yeah, I think it's pretty obvious that those who seek automated tools to define their own thoughts and feelings become dependent. If one is so incapable of mapping out ones thoughts and putting them to written word, its natural they'd seek ease and comfort with the "good enough" (fucking shitty as hell) output of a bot.

Oh damn I remember those keyboards, I remember my friend absolutely pounding on one like Chick Corea on a meth rage... Didn't even affect it

Truly It's not my line of work so I'm not going to start randomly recommending products, I don't think it's fair to talk out my ass hahaha

What I can say however, is the reason I was so bold in my assertion previously, was that I personally do a lot of hobbyist electronics, and wiring up temperature sensors is very simple. It's very much a trivial aspect to basic circuitry, because heat is such an aspect. It's in your most basic things from coffee pots to hair dryers but even down to smaller electronics, bulbs and projectors, everything really in its own way.

And then my father was a highly trained meteorologist with the government of Canada for 43 years and then another 10 of consultancy, they scouted him because he was the 100% in all courses math superstar at his university for his year.

My father taught me a lot about how heat is measured and it's a huge concern in a way that the average weather watcher doesn't understand. It's talked about in Watts per Square Meter. So that could be how much heat a structure may absorb per square meter, or perhaps how much heat is dissipated per second in a certain wind.

That's a major and primary concern of anyone in the agriculture industry, think for example a farmer that holds a barn full of cattle, he absolutely needs to know how much heat that building's going to dissipate so he can plan for heating.

But it doesn't end there, it goes into so many different areas where heat is an issue, and weather is the primary driver of heat transfer.

So I guess in summary, a solution is trivial, I'm not sure if there's an official product, but we're not talking rocket science! Edit: I guess in a way it's pretty cool and it's pretty complicated, but the thinkings has all been done by people smarter than me I'm just saying it can be put together and lots of people probably do this every day.

Edit2: I guess also my brother-in-law was a graduate of 4-year electronics program and he ended up working at our local eh price where he designed some forms of heating control systems but to what degree I know not. We talked a bit about some of the egghead stuff so I think in summary it's doable.

You don't need to go to that level of complication.

Two sensors in combination, one that detects current heat input one that detects absorbed heat. These modules would be placed about the outer walls.

Then calculate how much heat is going to radiate into the building the rest of the day.

And it can compensate.

We don't need to be more than a fraction of a degree off and a system like that would be amply accurate.

I have to say for me, I know this won't be everybody, my favorites are going to be the ones that change the way I felt about gaming, not necessarily ones that I would want to play again.

In fact, I have found that going back to some of the seminal games, or the ones that were most impactful to me, hurt my feelings because they were from a time... Where let's be real, technical limitations made a lot of very basic quality of life things nearly unavailable.

I think the 1st that changed the way I felt about gaming was Ultima 4 - they had flushed out the systems of the earlier three, which were pretty primitive, and made morality, all kinds of wonderful internal game systems, relationships, secrets, optional paths, total exploration. 5 and 6 were games that I explored and played molecularly because they were just a joy for me as well.

Another one I talk about a lot is a game called Squares Deluxe which the developer thankfully changed as freeware a few years ago. So anybody with DOSBox can download it and play it legally, and in my view, it's the best shape packing game ever made - there are so many amazing mechanics, and if you play Extreme mode and get a great run going, it can be the most thrilling experience!

How can I forget the very first game I played in arcades which was Atari Warlords at Fiesta Foods! I was bedazzled by the cabinet and I had to have a teenager explain to me what it was! I went flying home and explained what I saw to my mother and she was incredulous, and she took me back to play!

Runestone Keeper. I know that really if you distill it down, you're kind of playing a probability-based card / slot machine game. But play your choice is broad, and I love the fact that the entire playfield changes with every move potentially. Yes you can get screwed over, yes you can have amazing runs, but it's that unpredictability that keeps me salivating. I can't actually recommend anybody play this outside of steam version because the app one keeps changing - I've bought it a few times and I keep losing my license/progress when they change publisher agreements, to hell with that noise!
