- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 3 days ago:
As far as I’m aware, the rule is “if it can easily be pronounced, it should be pronounced. If it can’t, fall back to spelling it.” For example, if it was the Federal Investigation Bureau, we would probably call it the Fib, barring some major marketing campaign to prevent that.
- Comment on Real and True 6 days ago:
Working my way to 8, but I lack the monitor arms. So it’s three across and one-and-a-half above. In my defense, it’s three different computers.
- Comment on We have one at home 2 months ago:
I loved mine! Did exactly what I bought it for, emulation on my TV and playing media from my server. Replaced it with a Shield eventually, but don’t regret backing it on Kickstarter.
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 2 months ago:
I had the same assumption about myself before 2020. Turns out I’m way less distracted at home because I control the things that would distract me. So I’m much more productive. Was actually a huge surprise to me.

I would believe that it only currently works in English.

Yahoo did pull this shit. I had to dig through privacy settings in my account, not just the email setting, to turn it off.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 10 months ago:
The one I’ve used on my Samsung isn’t as fast as a wired power bank, but I don’t need to wrangle the cables like I do with the wired ones. I wouldn’t use a magsafe power bank to charge my phone from 0 (too slow). But leaving it attached gives me an extra couple of hours with just a little extra weight. Useful for things like conventions or travel.

I use one in my car - it’s more convienet for short trips or trips with multiple stops. I do keep a cable for longer trips though, especially if I need to keep the screen on for GPS - the wireless charger makes the phone warm enough to stop charging over the course of an hour or so.

- Comment on Any good games that break the mold 1 year ago:
Chants of Sennaar - adventure/puzzle game where you need to learn the languages of the world. It’s not super difficult, but finding all the secrets was challenging.
Manifold Garden - no real story here, but a trippy 3d spatial puzzle to navigate.
