I’d argue that this still tracks in Dutch or German.

For fuck’s sake, stop making company/product names that are homophones of normal English words with “creative” spelling.
“I bought a mikroPhone the other day”.
“Oh, I didn’t know you sang?”
“…what?”
If your wallet or keys are in your pants, how would you forget your pants???
I was also going to recommend Soundgarden’s Superunknown.
I’m also stoked to see Blue Eyes by Springbok Nude Girls in your list. Their albums Neanderthal 1, After Life Satisfaction and Surpass The Power are both fantastic and weird.
Three that I recall. First pair was in my early twenties, some weird blue bug eye mirror things that I thought made me look cool (they didn’t). Second was a pair of Fossil sunglasses in this cool gunmetal color/material with prescription lenses, acquired shortly after the bug sunglasses. Those lasted me for years. Current pair are Raybans with prescription lenses. They’ve lasted quite a few years as well.
I wear normal glasses as well and keep my sunglasses in a case. I’ve never sat on them.
TI isn’t in the business of marketing and selling these types of devices to hobbyists etc.
Yeah I’d love to but I already have too many kitchen gadgets and not enough storage space 😂
The Instant Pot is actually great at cooking rice using the pot-in-pot method: put a plain metal bowl with your rice and water (usually 1:1 ratio) in the Instant Pot on a wire rack and add about 1 1/2 cups of water to the Instant Pot. Steam for 10 minutes for white rice. Perfect every time.
I think that site is being slashdotted.
Ah yeah, rubber gaskets! I totally forgot about those. With today’s manufacturing capabilities it should be possible to create super-thin gaskets without affecting product design too much.
Something I don’t understand about the anti-glue sentiment: how do you make a device waterproof without glue or sealant?
This likely originates from the Before Times when universities would have a full time sysadmin who would often write some of the software for the computer system/network at the university. See Bastard Operator From Hell for an example.
I have an Aeron that I bought over 10? years ago and it’s still in great condition with daily usage. The only issue with it is that the fake leather type material on the arm rests has scrunched up and the texture is not so nice anymore. I could replace those if I wanted to though.
TIL. I thought they had their own crawler. I’m a little disappointed.
Kagi.com has its own I believe. But you have to pay a subscription to use it.
I’m a professional software dev and I use GitHub Copilot.
It’s most useful for repetitive or boilerplate code where it has an existing pattern it can copy. It basically saves me some typing and little typo errors that can creep in when writing that type of code by hand.
It’s less useful for generating novel code. Occasionally it can help with known algorithms or obvious code constructs that can be inferred from the context. Prompting it with code comments can help although it still has a tendency to hallucinate about APIs that don’t exist.
I think it will improve with time. Both the models themselves and the tools integrating the models with IDEs etc.
Also there is an alphabetic sorting in the App Library when you tap on the sort field:
The App Library grouping of apps is automatic but when you add apps to the Home Screen, you can drag one onto another to group them in a folder and then name that folder whatever you like.
You can turn off automatic offloading. I agree through that it’s bullshit that it can offload an app that is no longer available on the store.
Updoot for Slackware in the 90s!
