Sometime I write lookups in excel and wonder why they aren't working for a bit, then eventually select the right columns. Today it didn't work because none of the data matched! Now I have find a way to ensure more phones report their data, and that is not a transparent process

By using parallel workers a python script which took 6m takes: 47s using 10 workers 10s using 50 workers Important to run python in a non-debug terminal, and do less print statements! When I have time I want to try an auto back-off, so it can try and find request limits quicker

Keycap profiles are going to drive me insane. There's at least 40 types out there, including a few of the common bespoke ones. Also XVX is simultaneously the name of a profile, and a keyboard manufacturer! And I have to watch out for keycaps that don't fit MX switches

"Retrobrighting bad. Here's some one off experiments" Not expecting highly rigorous science from a random youtuber, but at least get past n=1, and control more variables! Why didn't he balance the UV chamber? why is the inside of the dreamcast so white? youtube.com/watch?v=_n_Wpj…

Steam Inventory Helper just sold a foil card for the normal card price. It was also one I probably wanted to keep, guess I'll pay more attention next time I decide to try and auto-sell everything

I'm building endless lookup tables to interpret + convert terrible build IDs. Please use numbers somewhere to refer to either patch level or date. I shouldn't have to gather every build into a database and then convert letters to numbers. (What will Samsung do when we hit 2027?)

I'm confused, why is Fetch turning a paid product into paid product + subscription? Besides Movie Box, this is just Free To Air TV and the opportunity to pay more subscriptions. No one wants to play games with their remote, and the fetch app is a tunnel back into your network

Got 10.3k orbs from watching ads and running games in the background on Discord, almost enough for ~22 days of Nitro. Not bad for occasionally checking over the last 5 months. Don't use Discord enough to pay for Nitro, the gimmicks are just fun when the free trials roll around

Way too often I find myself thinking "is this engagement bait?" for posts these days. It's hard to gauge, as people can be ignorant/naive, but if you are chasing growth, social media drive you to post that way

I've found the sequel to the cursed Zillow Kentucky house with the baptismal shower and endless shelves of dvds. There's so many rooms, they have like every kitchen appliance and 4 washing machines! Warning for shaky cam youtube.com/watch?v=bfILW_… youtube.com/watch?v=P5Drgj…

Really wish laptop docks weren't so expensive. It doesn't feel like a bunch of ports should cost hundreds of dollars, especially when they are no longer in that docking station form factor
