I built a 3D printed ereader stand that has a RAM mount ball on the other side.

Right now it’s sitting atop a manfrotto monopod between my bed and side table. Eventually want to mount it on the wall, but the monopod has worked well enough I don’t see too much need to change things up.

With a cheap Bluetooth tiktok ring remote bought online, I’ve had a very enjoyable reading experience in bed, and if I drift off there’s no worry about the device

Check out standard ebooks. They take public domain books and “clean” them up with really good typesetting, spelling fixes, and other things. All free too

Bullshit

Funko pops. Lego. Star wars. Marvel

I only recently found out that FSD treats you like a poorly behaved toddler, with its stupid strike system. For those who are unaware, if the car doesn’t think you’re holding on to the steering wheel and paying attention to the road, it gives you a strike. Once you have one strike, you can’t use FSD for the duration of that drive. Once you get three strikes, it’s disabled for an indeterminate time period, typically a week, but you can find reports of drivers being locked out for a year or longer. Keep in mind, this is a feature you have to pay extra money for, on a subscription basis

My Subaru doesn’t give a shit if I accidentally let go of the steering wheel on a drive with its its lane keep assist system enabled, it just beeps at me with increasing urgency, while still doing its job

Ghost, tumblr, WordPress, any of the self hosted SSGs out there.

Substack just annoying as can be anyway, with the constant spammy pop-ups about subscribed to my newsletter and whatever the hell else. Absolutely atrocious blogging platform

First term Trump divested of most of his businesses, so this is even a departure for him

What the hell are they thinking

The sad thing is, we had federated auth before social sign on. OpenID was a thing before oauth

I once used one to look up my friend from summer camp. He lived in New York City and I didn’t live anywhere close

Library had a bunch of NYC phonebooks

Our machines have the ability to turn the buzzer on after each cycle, but it’s not sticky. Given how far away from everything else the laundry room is, even with the chime you can’t really hear it. So I have it set to just ping our phones when a load is done

Used screen savers to bootstrap digg by free advertising

BART wrote a PDP8 cross assembler in the late 90s, that they still use today.

These don’t really feel like a garden hose, best comparable thing is the spray from a good impact or rotor sprinkler.

I didn’t get the long nut because it wasn’t an option when I bought them a few years ago haha

I liked em so much I wrote a blog post about it

I used to feel the same way, going as far as to drill out the flow restriction devices, but I found a shower head I actually like a few years back, a high Sierra brand one, and even it’s lowest flow model feels powerful

Shame, because I used to actually admire how he handled layoffs. Was a far sight better (from outside looking in) than the “thanks, here’s one extra paycheck, send your laptop back at your expense please” I’d experienced

I’ve heard the song and dance from all the tech companies at this point. Google and Microsoft both offered a package that promised things like chart portability and whatnot. Each was shut down a couple years later, and charts and records remain as locked down as ever
