Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV....
This actually got a good laugh out of me. I have a toddler, and I can see what you did totally made sense in your mind, and that it was dad’s fault for not being specific enough with the instructions.
Hey all, I'm trying to be a little more economical and reduce the amount of food I waste, and was wondering if there were any open-source apps that can track the best-before dates of the foods I buy so I can improve my meal-planning....
Sigh. As a fan of Sanderson, Abercrombie, and Gibson, I am now compelled to check out your other recommendations. As if I haven’t already had an overly long queue of things to read…
Hahahah. I don’t know how my sleep-deprived brain got to “I am Bob”.
Yeah, audio isn’t my preferred medium, but since I now commute by car instead of public transport, it’s the only viable means of book consumption for me. It’s unfortunate because a bad narrator can turn me off of an otherwise good book.
Sanderson’s Skyward series have different narrators on Spotify and Audible. One of them I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. The other, Sophie Aldred, is a real pleasure to listen to.

I can’t stand Rossman’s videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.
While technically correct, with $700k, I would argue that, “almost a million dollar” would give me a better picture of the scale of the problem than just “thousands”.
Many games support both keyboard/mouse and controller input. Many users (myself included) may wish to switch their input method mid-game, but what is the best way of handling this?...
Ideal for me is auto-switching with a debounce time.
There’s been a few incidents where I’m using my gamepad and accidentally bumped my desk/mouse and completely lose my orientation in game. With a debounce, one form of input needs to have completely stopped for a certain period (say 500ms) before starting to register movements on the other input device.
