  • People warn about culture shock, but nothing prepared ne for this solid toilet paper roll in Vietnam

    Jump

  • From what i saw they seemed to be pressure/heat tanks (they were mostly silver or dark and in full sun).

    Looked like most places had their own personal water tower.

  • I was in the southern parts, you were hot and it was already warm. The shower was basically a way to cool off. I would take a couple a day, but they were always quick. and again, water pressure was like 5-10 psi on a good day.

    We got an Airbnb in Hanoi at one point, and that had hot showers and good pressure and I took a very long one. Best I had felt in a while.

  • I dont think i saw any TP in VN. Everything was bidet and wash hands.

    wasnt terrible. Cold showers constantly and no water pressure were by far more of a culture shock to me. It was more similar to when I would go and hike for weeks on end in college.

    Logitech has ‘no plans’ for a subscription mouse

    Jump

  • Logitech has, in fact, EOLd parts of the video conferencing hardware. At best it may continue to work but no longer recieve updates. At worst teams and zoom deprecate APIs that are critical and force you to upgrade.

  • Are you proxying or using a VPN to access their site. I often see IP blocks, even if that proxy is a simple socks proxy to a VPS i own. Many VPS subnets are blocked/restricted wholesale, as are many of the big VPN endpoint ips.

    Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO - 9to5Mac

  • What is an event that altered you in some way?

    Jump

  • I learned this at a much younger age thanks to my step father and mother. Though it never really set in or was actioned on until much later in my 20s when I was out of their reach/strings.

  • A woman brought her own snacks to Despicable Me 4. Then the police arrived

    Jump

  • It is standard policy in New Zealand for cinemas to ban food brought in from outside and the Herald reported that Cinema 3 has five signs posted around the premises stating this.

    “The exact wording is: ‘No outside food or drinks allowed’,” the cinema’s operations manager, Robert Greig, said, the paper reported.

    Thus, once again, one of the oldest arguments in the world has been pushed back into the limelight: should you be allowed to take your own snacks into the cinema?

    private businesses can do what they want. But the prices they charge for food is outrageous. So i just dont go to those places. For the cost of a few movies and snacks now, you could buy your own large screen TV and surround system that will annoy your neighbors if thats what you need.

  • 6-month-old boy dies in hot car after parent forgot to drop him off at day care: Sheriff

    Jump

  • for me, i always put my work bag in the back seat for this reason. I would have to open the back door to get it out. Never happened but it was a concern and i completely have a tendancy to be on autopilot in the mornings.

  • From reddit selfhosted: What do you wish you knew from the start

    Jump
    1. Things like changes to TOS or services can be seriously mitigated by hosting it yourself. WHat happens if Spotify changes the music they host or inserts ads into everything. Well for me, nothing. On the flip side, if some of my stuff goes down, kids and wife will bark. But honestly its mostly set it and forget it.
    2. KISS is a thing that applies to many things in life. Anything "smart" in your home should ideally function without your "smart" features working. Ie: light switches should be dumb light switches if something breaks etc etc. Also dont get caught in using rack or enterprise gear. You can learn just as much using smaller, fatter desktops with bigger fans and air cooling over a power hungry rack servers with 80mm fans that blow your eardrums out. My entire lab runs on old dell workstations and raspberry pis'

  • Some of it to me, is just hardware selection. My laptop and egpu run windows fine. Linux gaming is rough as hell.

    That said, i bought a steam deck, and it will run the same games my laptop struggles with in linux, just fine.

    Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription

    Jump

  • logitech's software is trash across the board.

    Have their MX keyboard and their logi+ software regualrly craps out making the function/special keys unusable until i log off/back on. Sometimes WHILE im using the keyboard.

    And their gaming stuff is no better. Many times just having the logitech g suite software running means my mic will randomly stop working, if i remove the software the headset runs fine.

    Their hardware is solid, but there is a 0% chance i would pay for their software.

  • For one...thats a melt. And it doesnt look great. But I think there in lies the rub. even the best chefs get there by experimenting and trying new things and even then, when they get outside their wheelhouse, they arent any better than that dude at your local diner.

  • Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free

    Jump

  • Worse. It went off into other conspiracy subjects like 9/11 and all sorts of crap. Theres frankly a lot of weird stuff on amazon prime for free that i would have never seen had i not dozed off.

    Most of the other apps (netflix, plex, etc) and even the streaming platform (roku) have measures to combat falling asleep. Whether its disabling auto-play (which amazon didnt have) or bandwidth saver features that will periodically ask if you are still there (which amazon appears to somehow bypass or disable, or did).

    These days though i set a sleep timer to shut off the lights and TV at midnight.

  • I tried to use their UX. Its bad. And the worst is I fell asleep watching something like Project Bluebook once. And the Prime Reccomendations streamed a SHITLOAD of alien conspiracy content while i slept. It ruined the recs etc. And you cant delete the primary account profile....only the sub-profiles.

    Frankly i only go on it to see what I should maybe load into Sonarr/Radarr at this point. fuck em.
