I used to work retail and was helping a college aged guy pick out some new headphones. He was deciding between some Beats and some Bose headphones. I literally asked him "do you want something that sounds good or looks good" and was amazed he actually said "looks good". So I reluctantly sold him the Beats.

Peanut butter ones all the way.

The soundtrack is also amazing. Lifeformed did a great job with it, just as they did with Dustforce.

I had to scroll really far to find this, but my LG was so good I bought another when I moved. My wife thought all dishwashers just sucked until she saw how well the LGs can do.

I've got this little blue plastic cup I've had for almost 30 years. Use it for my toothbrush. Got it when I was a kid and it's the only toothbrush holder I've ever had since.

I just found two of these in my garage. They'd be cool if they weren't around every time I go to do laundry. They eat cockroaches though so I guess they're still cool.

LG? Mine does the same. Also my washing machine plays the same tune.

Missing the one that's 3% critic, 8% audience, with the caption "shit my parents like to watch"

This photo of my dog seems relevant

Open the Google Home app, go to " Automations", and make one for the household for when someone says "turn everything on" and any other variations you want, then just make it respond with something instead of actually doing the thing.

My wife refuses to let me pirate books for her. She wants to support the authors she reads, which is fair. But she decided she wanted to try the Harry Potter books, and asked me to pirate them for her to make sure JK Rowling didn't get a penny out of her.

Great! I'll use Button Mapper to remap that button to open Plex (or Jellyfin if I end up committing to switching to it).

Hue bulbs are just zigbee. You can get an offline zigbee hub, plug it into Home Assistant, and control it without needing the Hue hub anymore. Then just keep using your existing bulbs and buy generic zigbee ones as needed to replace when they fail.

Ctrl + Win + Alt + V works everywhere I've tried it.

"just don't use the internet" is not the hot take I was expecting

You're right. It's better to just not use a password manager and use the same password on every site you go to.

/s if that's not obvious

I'm in the exact same boat. I have a Jellyfin server configured and ready to go whenever something happens to really piss me off. This nearly was it until I saw that my lifetime Plex pass I bought 10 years ago will make it still be free for my family.

There are password managers you can self host. Bitwarden being one of them. Secure it as much as you want and keep off-site encrypted backups if you're worried about a single point of failure.

I just recently ditched Windows and installed Kubuntu. I like Ubuntu but wanted KDE Plasma, and that's exactly what this is! Works great for me, including proton gaming with Steam.

They'll take your fingerprints when they book you. They'll hold your hand down and force it onto the reader / ink pad if they have to.
