I love to shit on companies for doing evil shit (like Apple removing Targeted Display Mode from their iMacs), but Apple did the right thing here, but communicated it in the worst way possible.

I had an old iPhone that would randomly shut down when it drew too much power for the old battery to provide. If they hadn’t done the fix, I would have had to get a new phone; it just wasn’t reliable anymore. With the fix, things were slow, but they worked. Honestly, this is the opposite of planned obsolescence.

Lower "L"s and upper "i"s are basically identical in Calibri. It’s a sans serif font that’s hard to read for everyone. Calibri is an shit font and never should have been used on any government documents.

Lol.

Their other food is more expensive but it’s still quite cheap.

If you want cheap food, Costco food court is where it’s at. 15 bucks (if that) for a large meal, a drink, and some kind of dessert.

“Give me your phone, give me your laptop” works pretty well.

My phone has a giant “setup parental controls” button. You can block specific websites using tools like PiHole that are easy to set up.

I think I had a stroke reading this.

One parent said their daughter was “completely addicted” to social media

Have you tried parenting her?

Good ol’ giraffe mode

Guess I’m out of a job.

When I was there 6 years ago, it was $10 or $12 for a gallon of Costco branded milk.

At the airport, I watched a family of four pickup their checked baggage: a package of Costco toilet paper, a package of Costco paper towels, and two black and yellow totes with other groceries in it.

The town was awesome, I’d love to go back.

I feel you. It’s super frustrating. Don’t give up looking though!

Ask some of your friends who have therapists for help. Therapists also seem to know each other, so a friend’s therapist could give a recommendation for someone who might be able to help.

I’ve got a bunch of notes in Trilium.

I have a note for each service with the docker compose file, notes on backups, any weirdness with the setup, and when I update each service. I use Trilium as a crappy version control for the compose file.

I also have a note for the initial setup of my server (mostly setting up docker, setting up mergerfs and snapraid).

Other than that, I have one note for each device for my setup. (Wifi AP, OPNsense router, switch, etc) That I populate with random crap I might need to know later.

I’ve never seen an ad on my car’s screen. My brother’s car from 2013 has a backup camera, and that car literally cannot communicate to any server that could serve ads.

If car companies wanted to put ads on screens, they wouldn’t need an excuse to put in a screen, they’d just do it. But they wouldn’t do that, because ads are a safety hazard and they’d have their pants sued off. I can’t even connect a new Bluetooth device to my car (pressing 1 button) unless the parking brake is applied. Stellantis is in hot water for their braindead attempt at “ads” in their cars, and that’s just a pop-up that shows up when the car is stopped.

Not even Google maps advertises to me when I use Android Auto, and ads are Google’s thing

“Think it’ll rain?”

Crap. Now I’m hungry

Damn that’s a sexy plane. Delta wing and canards? Hell yeah.

Yup, her eye is all good, thankfully.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen my mom cry, except for the one time she dropped a metal hanger in her eye, and at my grandpa’s funeral (though she claims she cries all the time). I’ve seen my dad cry a decent amount. My grandma bottles more than a winery. My grandpa cried on occasion. We’re backwards from the stereotype. It’s weird.

One shitty EV they co developed with Subaru.

I wish I could get symmetrical gigabit. I’m stuck with Comcrap: gigabit down, 40 MBPS up with a datacap. My apartment complex has a deal with Comcrap, even though they just installed fiber down the street from us.
