I feel personally attacked.

I’ve often referred to Trump as Stupid Caesar.

Like Caesar, Trump pushed up against established political norms and found very little pushback. As it turns out, having it be up for debate whether a leader is legally responsible for crimes committed is not a stable foundation for a nation.

The only difference is, Trump did not wait to build up his base not just in the electorate but also among other political figures before pushing as hard as he did. The whole drinking bleach and shining a light to cure Covid probably didn’t help.

Also I’m pretty certain Caesar wasn’t borderline illiterate. If we look up any of Caesar’s speeches recorded by even his most ardent opponents and compare them to Trump’s, there’s a bit of a difference there.

Anyway the point is, both of these men did nothing except expose the flaws in the system, and so long as we do nothing to fix said flaws, is there anything stopping a more competent modern-day Caesar from finishing what Trump started?

As someone who does not own a Tesla due to a crippling, chronic case of nomoneyitis, a Tesla has been my dream car for a while. That is to say, it was, because after watching more than a few Technology Connections videos @ YouTube, Hyundai’s EV has me looking like that distracted boyfriend meme.

It looks even cooler than a Tesla to me, and the features seem better too.

I have to be in a certain mood to watch their videos. When my brain is in that mode, everything about that channel is perfect from the slow pace, to the dry humour, to the excruciating detail.

And I think that’s okay :)

Aww, it’s Konsi! Do Razira next!

I would never trust a Razer product again, I’ve owned two of their Nagas and they both failed (double-clicking issue) within a year. Everyone in my WoW guild who have experience with MMO nice report the same problem with Razer mice.

I personally have the Scimitar, recently bought a new one as my old one from ~2019 (I think is when I bought it) had the inverse problem; holding right click to move camera would “drop” the hold randomly.

I own a lot of Corsair products and iCue is probably the least garbage peripheral software I’ve used over the years.

Squabblr’s Patreon has also imploded on itself. In June 2023, it was earning just over $1,000.

Now, according to Patreon it’s earning $334.80 per month.

As it turns out, changing a site that used to foster a friendly atmosphere of community into a “free speech platform” was not the greatest decision ever made.

Ya like dags‽

The only problem with their SSH agent is, if you store let’s say 6 keys and the server is set to accept a maximum of 5 keys before booting you, and the correct key happens to be key number 6, you can end up being IP banned.

This happened to me on my own server :P

That being said, my experience was using the very first GA release of their SSH Agent, so it’s possible the problem has been sorted by now.

I was really upset about the poor performance of .world and how Beehaw had good performance but defederated, but the devs have fixed .world performance overnight and I haven’t had any issues yet today.

Overall I’m happy with how it turned out for me joining .world :)

They removed that feature, at least for Finnish.

There’s just a teeny tiny problem with that; disabling web search renders Search unable to do maths.

It’s not an issue for me since I use PowerToys to get Spotlight-esque search in Windows, but it’s nevertheless hilarious.

macOS search is so much better than Windows search it’s not even remotely close.

My gf and I are going to be playing this on PS5, really looking forward to the console release :)

Which is a really good thing, IMO.

I’m upgrading from a 12 to a 15 because of USB-C and the other improvements that have accumulated, and after that I’m leaving it alone for a long time.

If USB-C wasn’t there, I wouldn’t even bother as my 12 works perfectly fine, Safari feels snappy and this phone could last a good long while still.

Why did you have to make me feel so old 😭 back in my day we respected our elders! 👴

Which personally I think does a disservice to their readers. If their article ends up high in search results for “best password manager 2023” for whatever reason, most people aren’t going to care if there’s a source available client or not.

Dash lane and 1Password might not have source available clients but they likely have better UI/UX than these more open source alternatives that are made for people with technical expertise.

There should always be an option to share the image itself, not a link.

Speaking as an Apple user - I am heavily invested in their ecosystem - I am extremely happy that Lightning is on death’s door. I fully agree with the EU and I am very grateful to them for forcing Apple’s hand.

That being said, your point about USB-A falls apart when you consider any situation where your vision is even partially obstructed. Such as; back of the computer, back of your monitors, a dock unless you’re holding it, etc etc.

What I’m hoping will happen:

1. Apple sells only USB-C to USB-C cables
2. Apple users start requesting more USB-C ports on motherboards / desktop computers
3. Mouse/Keyboard manufacturers produce USB-C alternatives of their products
4. Motherboards move even more to USB-C
5. GOTO 3 until USB-A becomes as legacy as VGA or PS/2
6. We hopefully never see another single orientation external cable ever again.

A lad can dream…

Octopus are now on week 13 out of an estimated 6 weeks to fix my IHD not being able to maintain a connection and constantly rebooting itself.

I keep getting updates every 2 weeks saying the engineers are still working remotely on my meter.

I know this is unrelated but I saw octopus and well I am somewhat annoyed at this point.

This is how I feel about LTT too. There should never be one single location you go to for all your review needs - even if it had every single product in existence in for review.

I’ll look at LTT videos to see people doing dumb shit with tens of thousands of Britannian Monies worth of tech, sometimes there’s some genuinely good “hey, this exists” (see: PowerToys which gave me Spotlight on Windows), and sometimes it triggers a “hey I could use X, I’ll do my own research and collation of reviews”.

If they can get their Labs up and running and their tests being transparent enough that they can be peer reviewed, then Labs will be a tool in the toolbox, not the toolbox itself.
