To-go is a hand-made wireless Sofle Choc with Kailh Choc Browns (internal stabilizers removed). It uses my own custom modeled case, and a 2000 mAh battery on each half.

I hate these filthy neutrals. With enemies you know where they stand, but with neutrals, who knows? It sickens me.

I look forward to 5-10 years from now when the people who were kids now start pointing to this acquisition as the negative “turning point” for Blizzard because they liked Overwatch 2.

Color me surprised to hear that then. The few times I had used them, I couldn’t get over how uncomfortable they were for my ear (which is why I never used then much)

That totally depends on what headphones though. Apple’s maybe, I wasn’t really too discerning last time I had some of those, but on Android it was a mess. Samsung had decent ones some years, Google’s were generally okay at best, and LOADS were just actual trash.

I’m in the minority on this myself, but I fully agree. Honestly, I don’t even need the discount, tell me I can make a fraction less plastic waste and I’m pretty much there. When I got a new phone a couple years ago, I just put the cable at my desk so I had a spot to plug in misc stuff, but I definitely didn’t need it.

Let’s be honest though, included earbuds were pretty universally garbage and the world is probably better off without the ewaste.

That said, please bring back the headphone jack.

I tried to get it to tell me how long it would take to eat a helicopter, as it’s one of the model’s pre-built prompts and thought it would be funny. Went through every AI coercive tactic that’s been thrown around and it just repeatedly said no and that I should be respectful and responsible about the thing. It was quite aggressive and annoying about it.

I’ve questioned it before when I just didn’t watch where it went, but it usually takes just a few seconds to figure it out most of the time.

Now Android on the other hand…

The friggin “definition of insanity” quote that is usually misattributed to Einstein. From some cursory research, a lot of first appearances of the quote come from the 80s, though I saw a few different sources from Narcotics Anonymous pamphlets to mystery novels.

I just wish it tacked my heart rate a little better while I’m working out. Mine loses track what seems like immediately once I start sweating a little. It can recover with a little jostle or sometimes moving the band up a notch if possible, but man it’s annoying.

My cynical take - it’s what MacOS looks like and they’ve been throwing away their own identity to copy Apple for years now.

Woah, neat! Thanks!

We don’t see many induction stoves here, though they do exist they’re really expensive compared to a glass top. The few houses in wealthy areas that I’ve been in have pretty much all had an induction top and two stacked ovens.

Wait are these microwaves one unit, or a separate oven and microwave? Here in the states they’re always separate, though sometimes a microwave might be above the stove and function as a smoke hood.

Something like this render from Best Buy is common enough. That’s what I’d call a normal size microwave in either case though, just different mounting options.

I could certainly fit a microwave inside my oven, so they’re not really a similar size here. In fact, that render only has a kind of weird scale, the gas range and oven seem about right.

As an occasional sys admin, they’ve had stuff like this for enterprise forever, it’s just self hosted. This is about as surprising as the sun coming up, they’ve been moving lots of their enterprise tech to consumer subscriptions.

Every day I think about that toaster. I’d absolutely love if one of these companies would make another, but I think they’re probably expensive to build.

I did. He also says at one point that he understands the construction is more typical of split-compartment mini-fridges, but acknowledged he hadn’t much checked.

But, your interpretation is certainly fair, I don’t really want to argue. Instead, I don’t know how much you know about our fridges, but if that’s a standard size over on that side of the pond, they’re absolutely bonkers big by comparison here. That absolutely qualifies as “mini” here in the US, which stores seem to think is anything under about 7 cubic feet, or about 198 Liters.

A quick Google shows that by volume, there’s not a single entry level full-size fridge with that small of a volume in the category. The cheapest fridge from a brand I personally recognize (in this case, a Whirlpool) has more than double the volume of the fridge in the video, 11.3 cu. ft. (320 L) compared to 4.6 (130 L) of the Galanz. Looking at the marketing images, that’s still quite small here. It’s not uncommon at all for a fridge to be more than 4 times as large as the Galanz.

No, this is an absolutely bog standard low-end fridge here. He’s just interested in clever engineering, no matter how mundane it is. His toaster videos are an excellent example of this.

I’m certain he could make me watch an hour long video on almost anything, he’s such a talented writer.
