the duct/vent in my wife's study suddenly decided to blow weak (but still hot) air out of it, but the one further down in my study is strong as it always has been - wtf

@decryption Did you manage to keep an eye on what they did so that when it inevitably happens again when its out of warranty you can DIY?

got a pixel 8a - too cheap not to!

  • RRP is $849

  • JB is running a promo where you get $300 off the 8a if you trade in any smartphone, so I gave them a Samsung Note 10 with a cracked screen for $1, bringing the price down to $548

  • if you make a new JB Hi-Fi perks account you get a $10 off coupon, $538

  • I paid the $538 with a gift card I got at 5% off making my out of pocket cost $511.55

  • plus JB give you a $200 gift card if you buy an 8A during its first 2 weeks of sale, which I'll happily use on more ink for my Epson ET-8550, or a new lens for my camera, making the effective price $311.55 for a brand new phone that has support for 7 years ($45/yr if the battery makes it that long!)

I love bargains 💸

I found all the people who made the unhinged ultradense unusably elaborate winamp skins back in the day! They're now making watch faces in the Garmin app store.

@danderson Yeah. As a former Pebble user (RIP), the Garmin watch face selection is horrendous. Everything gets crammed in, there are very few simple or fun watchfaces. There are a good few from the Pebble i’d take over any of the Garmin ones

@danderson Good tip. I might try out the DIY option

i wonder if the image quality on mastodon is good enough so that people could determine which image came out of my iphone 13 pro vs my sony a6000

made a blog post about giving my dad a smartphone flashed with lineageOS and everything removed and how it's the perfect "dumb" phone

New car wash place opened 800m away so took my car there to get cleaned because I hate washing the car. It's now the cleanest its been since I bought it! Downside - many of the spots I thought were dead bugs are stone chips and the car is covered in them.

Anyone know what this connector is called?

From a Kia luggage lamp assembly. Bought it thinking it was compatible with our car but it's not. I want to just buy the mating connector so I can splice it on

Sigh. Kiddos grandparent bought a dodgy bike helmet for him off Amazon and now i’m banging my head against a brick wall with customer service to get them to admit that it doesnt meet Australian standards

You’re allowed to put more than one breakfast cereal in your bowl, it’s not illegal or anything.

Go on, you’ve always wanted to make salt & pepper bubblepops by mixing rice bubbles and coco pops

@jpm Weetbix + rice bubbles + oats + Carmans muesli has been a staple of my youngest for years. Its a bit silly but the kid bloody loves it

    @decryption Nice, I have the same one. It’s been rock solid in my use with a dozen odd Zigbee devices. Dunno if it’s needed but I found using a USB cable to move it out of my rack works well.
