Well, coincidentally, the very first Technology Connections video I watched was an hour-long one about dishwashers (yes, lol). And it was actually shared to me through Discord.

The dishwasher is actually better than what most people think, but a lot of them don’t know that they’re using it wrong.

Been to Louisiana. Can confirm.

I don’t think he wasn’t praising himself there. I interpreted it as calling himself foolish.

You can call that a majority, but it’s far from a vast majority. That’s just a little more than half, and about on par with the general population, actually.

I disagree. Apple might not be perfect, but it is better than Google when it comes to ads and tracking. I know my data is encrypted, both on the device and in my cloud. And in the App Store, it tells me exactly what data is being collected by the apps I choose to install.

That is unfortunate. I also installed Linux Mint last year, and although I’ve had weird little issues here and there, none of them were major, and overall I was able to use it exclusively for the last seven months. One issue I encountered when installing was actually because of Window’s fault (during the drive partitioning portion), since I do dual-booting.

I’ve heard stuff like that too. To be fair, if the United States were to resolutely defend Taiwan, China might not touch it, though there would still be a possibility, but at the least the US and Taiwan would likely win that war since they just need to keep Taiwan independent, not invade China.

How dare you use logic on my computer logic-related shower thought.

But yeah, I get what you mean. I had that thought at some point after posting. This is why I should probably just keep it in this silly thread and not write any philosophy essays soon.

You’re… you’re right.

It’s like, all part of some yin-yang thing.

I wasn’t expecting to see a reference to one of my favorite anime of all time. Thank you for reminding me why it’s peak.

Some years ago, I decided to play all the Half-Life games and expansions available at the time after watching a video game history series on YouTube. I enjoyed them all.

You guys are getting buttons?

My Japanese microwave only has an imprecise knob to turn. It came free with the apartment, so I can’t complain too much.

I suppose it prevents people from accidentally doing something like hitting 20:00 instead of 2:00 and starting a fire.

Out of curiosity, I looked for the Xbox in a big electronics store, and found it in a teeny, tiny, little corner. I don’t ever remember seeing any in the secondhand stores though.

It’s time to delete X? 🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀 Always has been.

I had traveled to Southeast Asia recently, and used Grab for the first time there to get a taxi. I was surprised by how precise it was. No wonder.
