While I understand that others have different priorities with phones, I’ve never quite understood why Lemmy is so enraged by the absence of a headphone jack…
I prefer wireless headphones. When I had wired headphones I used to regularly yank my phone off the counter when cooking, or try to walk away from my desk while tethered by a cord.
If I did ever need to use wired headphones, using an adapter isn’t that big a deal to me. Although I’d probably have to use a magnetic adaptor so that when I inevitably forget that I’m connected to it and walk away, my phone/entire desktop doesn’t come with me.
Particularly an issue when you’re googling an obscure software issue, you just get spammed with the same copy/paste “troubleshooting” steps. Which usually boil down to “reinstall this completely unrelated driver”.
Just reading this caused a small spike of ice cold fury within my soul
I remember on reddit once someone from the US complaining about people assuming their bar had EFTPOS machines/pay wave saying “You wouldn’t go to the grocery store without your wallet?!”
And me, in Australia just being like…but… I do? I almost never take my wallet with me to the grocery store…
(Although, because my student public transport card is the only thing I can’t put on my phone, going out for drinks is one of the few times I’m almost guaranteed to have my wallet) (also because I want to have backups if something goes wrong while I’m inebriated)
I emailed MSI support to get a new hinge for my F key. They repeatedly told me the entire keyboard needed to be replaced. After several days of back and forth, and me assuring the support person that, no I just need the key hinge, and that yes, they could just send me the hinge and I could fix it myself, they relented.
Took 30 seconds and didn’t mean that a perfectly good keyboard be trashed.
I’m watching both of these shows in their entirety and I don’t know why they’ve historically gotten so much backlash. One reviewer called TBL “a dumpster fire of a TV show” and others seem to think M6L is downright abusive. However, I can’t find anything particularly bad in either....
When I was more active in ED spaces, shows like these were really popular. I watched a lot of Supersize v Superskinny but didn’t really bother with the others.
Came from a starved mindset where I so obsessed with food and weight that I only wanted to watch stuff that related directly to food and weight.
There was also discussion in ED spaces I was in about how the stuff that these shows were doing was unhealthy and fucked up but had been deemed entertainment and therefore permissable. But us doing similar stuff was (rightfully) seen as fucked up.
I want to stress that no one in the communities I was in was ever judging the contestants. The only people we were viewing negatively were the producers who were putting people in danger and also like, ourselves.
I know it’s less scary than the others, but I also really fucking love Bly Manor.
Also, I recently rewatched Lake Mungo and saw a lot of similarities with Nell’s story from Hill House. Turns out Mike Flanagan has said that Lake Mungo was an inspiration!
Since I watched Series 4 in 2021, I don’t think a week has gone by that I haven’t watched an episode, or at least a clip, of some iteration of Taskmaster.
I’d also really recommend the New Zealand and Australian versions! (NZ Series 1 takes a bit to find it’s groove but Series 2 is probably my favourite series of any Taskmaster)
Sorry for the over enthusiastic reply, this morning my friend got us both tickets to the Australian Series 3 studio record and I’m very excited about it…
I have back issues that make sitting and standing still for any length of period very painful. If I had the money to get a Vision Pro, I would genuinely consider moving from Android to Apple.
Barely related; but I use a square of astroturf to stop my cat tracking which works really well! Unfortunately, because it made the place look so aggressively, manufactured suburban green, I was forced to create a whole white picket fence poop garden for him.
My cat rarely bothers us about food. But if we’ve not played with him, or toured the (exterior, communal building) hallway in the last few hours…he doth scream.
And I’m pretty sure he uses his abs when meowing because the boi can project!
