  Speaking of BTTF trilogy, I bought that (used) on DVDs for £2.48. £4.98 with shipping to Slovakia. 3 discs + 1 bonus. Unfortunately, I don’t know what else to use to import DVDs from UK other than Amazon.

  And without Discogs I am screwed. They’re PayPal only now, and PayPal shadow-banned me. I used to be able to pay on like 10th attempt with a different virtual debit card tried each time over 2 days, but now it doesn’t even decline me. It just straight sends me to “We’re sorry…” page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: Netflix has made another minor change for their subscribers.⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? I usually see them priced around similar to DVDs, that is like €3 - 15. Though I don’t recall if new. Certainly so for the upper part, I only want to spend like €5 for used ones.
  I like Momox for used and Rarewaves for new discs.

  Well, unless… the price you mentioned seems right for UHD BluRay.

  Also had a similar experience. 2 of us in class knew negative numbers, teacher told us our answers are wrong and that the answer is “impossible”, plus “you’re not supposed to know that yet”.

  So it can only be used for one thing at a time? (support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/…/ios)

  Even my cheap Android phone does this better, although I wish there were more modes like triple, short then long, 2 short then long, or changing action for when screen is locked vs unlocked (e.g. flashlight when locked, toggle VPN when unlocked).
  But it’s at least something.

  I think civilization is probably just ending after these last few generations, frankly

  Someone’s probably trying to stop that already, in a way. Low(er) sentences for rape and abortion bans. Maybe will be followed by something else, like decreasing age of consent. Or banning things like hysterectomy, salpingectomy, vasectomy.
  All the good solutions /s

  By the way, Markdown also takes escape \, which is why sometimes the shrugging emoticon is missing left arm.

  So you don’t even necessarily have to leave out the space.

  I prefer this way personally. I’ve always asked if I could write things with a pen rather than type them on a computer. Unless they want me to use a ballpoint and press harder because CC paper.

  Maybe the heat could temporarily do something, but other than that this just sounds stupid. Especially with strong heat source like a flame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helpful guide⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It does. I’ve been using it, I tested it, it works. They just get the info that I am “currently unavailable” and I get SMS with info on who tried to call me when I was “unavailable”. Just like airplane mode, but I get to keep data and SMS.

  2G will be used only for emergency calls.

  4G/5G doesn’t support traditional voice calls like 2G/3G did. Only VoLTE, VoWiFi and VoNR which are a total mess with lack of one universal standard.

  But they can try, if that’s what you meant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helpful guide⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Problem solved.

  You can’t call me.

  (If you can’t disable 2G and 3G and they are still used by your carrier, you can switch to LTE only or NR/LTE or NR only in *#*#4636#*#* menu. This menu may be disabled on some devices.)

  This also helps with reconnecting faster when travelling as it won’t have to unnecessarily search for 2G/3G towers.

  Alternatively, you could forward all calls somewhere else, so you can still make calls yourself right away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire and burn risks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Point is, this could probably be buried in the many other blowing up power banks. Years old power bank caught on fire doesn’t make much news. Yet Anker went with a recall (though unfortunately it’s US only). Makes Anker look even better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire and burn risks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was searching for something like that ereyesterday. Couldn’t find anything aside from maybe Xtar BC4 which is a battery charger with power bank function, but even if that works properly, it’s going to be not very useful capacity-wise.

  I have one of those 4xAA power banks from AliExpress, but it quickly drops voltage way too far. It’s fine for USB LED lights and running my USB fan for 5 hours (with some old NI-MH batteries I have), but it won’t charge most things due to the voltage drop. One more problem is the series connection. Weaker cells can get reverse-charged and damaged during discharge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anker is recalling over 1.1 million power banks due to fire and burn risks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The company has received 19 reports of fires and explosions

  The recall covers about 1,158,000 units that were sold online through Amazon, Newegg, and eBay between June 2016 and December 2022.

  That still sounds more trustworthy than random power bank from Wish.

  I’ve had a power bank with earbuds (yes) from AliExpress that just randomly started to feel quite warm. Not the battery being a problem, some chip (SY7656) on the board was cooking.
  I tried to replace it, but I couldn’t do a good job without a heat gun. It broke again after a few weeks. Probably overheated as I couldn’t do anything about solder that was supposed to be below it. But anyway…

  Also had a cheap power bank from Tesco that would self-discharge in 3 days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So is ADB, and Bluetooth tethering, and wired Ethernet, and OTG,…

  This can be solved with a warning like “You are not connected to the internet, hotspot will only allow access within local network.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely yes. So many phones have USB 2.0, so the Wi-Fi speed is often going to be faster than cable.
