I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

    VPN. I bought it during the pandemic not for privacy or government spy conspiracy shit, but because it was on “sale” (something like $40 for 38 months or something) and I wanted to try out if skirting geoblock was worth it. It’s now probably one of the most-used tech we have in the house. Great for running Max obviously but also for work.

      I got a VPN and I find every app I try to use it with doesn’t recognize the alternate country I set it to, or detects I’m using one. I thought I’d get a lot more use out of it than I do.

      Am I VPN-ing wrong?

        Depending on what you want to use it for, you may be able to set it to another location in your country. I’m in the UK, and setting mine to London or Edinburgh gets around a lot of location blocks for some reason.
