I worry this may be some form of confirmation bias or something. Because at that I was like “huh, I hadn’t thought of that, but now that I do, I think you’re right! It HAS been slightly more lately!”
Then I realized that I’ve been purposely holding off updates since August, so it can’t be true haha.
I’m not saying the same happened to you, I’m just saying it happened to me, so it’s possible it’s happening to others 🤷♂️😂
I think high end smasnugs do that. But yeah same, I have a Chromecast and I just sling stuff to the TV. Its tuner hasn’t been used in a decade.
Speaking of decade… I should probably upgrade that thing. But it’s big enough, dark enough (LDC, but at least not a crappy LCD), and high enough resolution for it’s size and distance from my couch (1080, 50 inches, 10 or 15 feet) that I just can’t justify replacing it. I wish it would die already lol.
Maybe if I move and get a big enough bedroom, I’ll put it in there, and upgrade to something with HDR. I really wanna get in on some good HDR. Seems like it’s getting really good and really affordable if you buy the right thing.
It was about that time…

Thanks!
Dell was my first thought as well
Have you tried it? Have you felt Poseidon’s kiss? Magical.
Soap is a bonus, an extra tool that we haven’t what’s had. But water, by itself, gets you a significant fraction of the way towards being “completely” clean.
Water is a polar molecule, it naturally separates dirt and grime, and dissolves things like salt and sugar.
It’s considered a universal solvent, not because it can dissolve anything, but because it’s so dang good at cleaning so much stuff.
If I’m away from soap, all I have is water, and my hands are dirty, I feel pretty good about using just water. With just water, and some mechanical action, you can get pretty far. Soap would be better, but that’s not always an option every moment of every day.
Nobody is saying that if you use a bidet you no longer have to wash your butt in the shower. But if you use a bidet, the time in between showers will be cleaner than had you just used paper. It’s literally science.
Soap would be better, sure. But if I was somewhere far away from soap, and I got poop on any part of my body, I would be much happier using a garden hose to spray myself off, rather than just some paper towels.
Likewise, when I’m out and about, with no bidet, sure, yeah, give me the TP. It’s fine, I guess.
But at home? With access to a bidet? Why wouldn’t I use it over the TP?
Bidets are cheap, easy to use, and effective. Everyone should get over themselves and get one.
Or don’t, you do you, but you’re missing out 🤷♂️
I’m not personally saying that everyone else has poor hygiene. But many people have poor hygiene, more than you can imagine. And a bidet helps have better hygiene.
Honestly it’s probably a good litmus test. Not everyone without bidets have bad hygiene. But statistically, I bet most people with bidets have good hygiene.
I think the point you might be missing from the OP, is that the person in question doesn’t actually possess this knowledge or skill, but instead of being humble and admitting the gaps in their knowledge, perhaps asking a question or two when they don’t understand, they just plow ahead.
I know people like this. It’s not malicious I don’t think, maybe it’s more of a defense mechanism? They don’t want to look uninformed, so they try to fill the gaps in their knowledge with assumptions. Maybe they’re right a decent amount of the time, or close enough to fool people who aren’t knowledgeable on the subject. But people who are knowledgeable, will recognize what they’re doing, and the lack of humility comes across as arrogance, even though that may not strictly be the case.
It’s normal to know a lot of stuff and like a wide variety of things. But you need to be humble when you don’t know something.
When I don’t know something for sure, I like to say “I think it’s this way, but I could be wrong.” Or something like that. Or heck, if someone else has the knowledge and skills I don’t, I’m right up there asking questions, I want to learn. Maybe I’ll try to impress them with what little I do know on the subject by commenting or asking questions in a way that shows I understand what they’re talking about, because we all want to have self worth. But faking it isn’t cool, and can be harmful, or just annoying.
Super awesome! I was looking at this, but don’t want a new phone right now
Dude that’s awesome, this thing is more versatile than I ever imagined! Thanks!
I guess I didn’t realize these could gravity feed, is that normal?
Glad to hear they are so resilient though
Nice! How long between trips? I only really go a few times a year
That’s good to know that drying it out works. Same filter? 7 years? Awesome! Maybe I just need to do that. I’m surprised it can dry at all, honestly.
I wonder how the filter material differs to that of the life straw. The life straw has instructions that if you let it dry out and it stops working, you can fix it by soaking it in coconut milk. Something about the milk helps reduce surface tension or something, it’s crazy.
Thanks for the write-up! Specifically I’m running a framework 13 7840U, so it’s ddr5, and that iGPU has no dedicated vram, it shares the main system ram.
I’m not looking for ridiculous performance, right now for small models I’m seeing probably 3 ish words per second. But when I put bigger models in, it starts to get ridiculously slow. I’m fine waiting around, really I’m just playing with it because I can. But that’s entering no fun territory haha
Never thought of that haha, sounds rough, but I like it
I just came from a flip5, it broke after 2 years, 6 months, and 21 days. Longer than I expected actually.
I left my pixel 6 pro to get the flip 5 on sale. Now I’ve gone back to my pixel 6 pro, and honestly? It almost feels like an upgrade. I forgot how much I missed my pixel features. And the phone is still plenty fast.
I liked the flip, I enjoyed many features, but turns out I hate Samsung for several reasons.
