Anyone else hate the feeling of putting socks on when your feet are still drying from the shower? Like, they aren't wet, but they aren't exactly dry either?
@RickiTarr Guess I'd have to say for me it's unemployment, and apparently I cope by making charts of the fruitless job search, which is just about to hit its one-year anniversary. 😟
As part of their aggressive attempt to get people to replace their old headsets, Facebook's Quest 1 headsets, released in 2019, will be barred from purchasing any app on the Quest store released after April 30, even if that app would have supported the Quest 1 when sideloaded.
The aggressive deprecation schedule really makes me baffled why anyone would trust Facebook with their money here. This is a novelty/nice-to-have device, not something you upgrade every 2 years.
Personal update for those who are following my house saga:
Our twins and our agent saw the house. We FaceTimed from Oregon. 👎🏻 Big disappointment. We’ll explore more homes when we get to BC. Not expecting to buy anything this trip.
@GottaLaff It's the worst when the listing photos make a home look way better than it really is in person. Such a terrible sales strategy too, since you're guaranteeing that most people's reaction will be disappointment when they actually visit the house.
It's cool how you can't call your local post office on the phone when there's an obvious issue with a package to you that gets loaded in a truck in a slightly different (but wrong) zipcode every day for three days now and mysteriously fails to be delivered
@thomasfuchs Weird and frustrating. I've never had trouble talking to a real person at our post office via the direct local number when I have problems with delivery.
Just remembered another minor tech hype from a few years ago when Silicon Valley douchebros wanted to sell everyone on wireless charging at a distance (like plug something into outlet and it uses magical waves to beam power to your phone and laptop)
@notjustbikes I was inspired by the latest episode of The Urbanist Agenda to pull out my small collection of vintage Wired magazines from 1993/1994 and no joke, this comic was in the back of the very first issue. 🤦🏻
