Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the “4-Day Time Cube.” This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990’s. Alas, it ceased to be some...

I just discovered this and it works fantastically on any old / unused android device you might have lying around, I was shocked at how easy it was, all the instructions are there, once you have it running all you need to do is set your router DNS settings to your pihole IP address and presto! Ads and trackers are gone!...
I feel swipe to type should be an option on laptops. Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets. Remove the physical keyboard and put a 6" to 10" lcd with touch input on it.
Some of the skill might be transferrable. My sister has been on iPhone for years and gets 120 wpm on monkeytype with predictive text on. For comparison, she gets 110 on a normal chiclet keyboard.
Sorry for the short post, I’m not able to make it nice with full context at the moment, but I want to quickly get this announcement out to prevent confusion:...
I think I would want some really stupid real life thing/pun name, or maybe like a whole sentence even. Like for example, “The cardinal directions are north, south east, and west” or “Sorry” or “Maya Paula Jeese” or “Milk Toast”. Maybe even “Yorkshire Terrier” or “Jim(othy) Member”. Many options to...
Keep in mind thermostats are generally not tightly calibrated devices. I prefer 71°F at home, but recently visited relatives and thought their mini-split was FREEZING at 29°C (84 F)
Google’s excellent and neglected note-taking app is getting some much-needed formatting options and overall love. Here’s hoping it’s not the last time.
Loss of precision. Most digital thermostats only display two digits for cost savings. I’ve had experiences with mini-splits that are too cold at 27 and too hot at 28.
I am currently an IOS user, however, as the title suggests, I wish to switch to android. This is because I would prefer to use free software and not be locked into the apple ecosystem. That being said I am already locked into apple and would like to know how anyone else here has managed the switch....
it’s deliberate. Tim Cook and team have essentially said “yeah we know it sucks but we’re keeping it this way for business reasons”. Can’t find a quote but just look at how they treat literally anything non-Apple.

You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick?

Anyone feel typing on the keyboard is a chore compared to typing on the phone with swipe enabled?
I feel swipe to type should be an option on laptops. Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets. Remove the physical keyboard and put a 6" to 10" lcd with touch input on it.

What temperature do you keep your thermostat at?
Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?
