Subscription for Internet access is the one that’s always baffled me. What a stupid business model. I guess devices not belonging to their buyers is not a new thing.

And that’s why I’ll never give up my domain. Those vultures will immediately snap it.

I don’t recommend hosting a Lemmy just for yourself. How federation currently works is it mirrors EVERYTHING. Your disk will be filled up with images you never even view and you put yourself at risk of having illegal imagery on your machine if you don’t actively keep up with which instances you must ban.

An ee-mail? Do I need to go to the post office for that?

One week later and I’ve since looked into, ordered, and received a few pebblebee trackers. I’m very pleased with them so far. I might check how they track by leaving one at my partner’s place and checking if I can find it on the map.

I work a lot with remote servers. I locked myself out in a similar way once or twice before. I felt like the dumbest person alive every time it happened.

I wouldn’t say horror, but it does have a sinister motif.

I’d recommend the we were here series. They’re two people puzzle games.

The reviews I had taken a look at as chipolo came out unfortunately made it clear that those trackers didn’t… Well, track very well. I haven’t researched pebblebees yet, thanks for the hint. One feature that I believe no Google find my device trackers have yet, though, is utilizing UWB for close-range tracking, like the Samsung ones do in their ecosystem. I’ll take a look at the trackers you mentioned, but I’d like to see some more development from other companies.

All the times I checked, there isn’t any hardware yet that would be worth it. Chipolo sounded promising, but the reviews really disagree. I wish Samsung adopted Google’s network. Their trackers are fantastic and offer features no other company does.

Only some of it. The ones at the bottom of the picture can be rubbed off with a wet finger.

Other than the things already mentioned, you can read analog clocks easily from great distances, as long as the handles and the face have appropriate contrast (e.g. black on white). Even with impaired vision and large distance, being able to discern the rough position of black smudges on white background is enough to tell the time. This is not possible with a digital clock, because you can’t distinguish between the digits as easily. Therefore, I’d certainly argue their much better for legibility in the back of a classroom or a lecture hall.

You ride into the mud. Not so much out of the mud.
