I've had cocaine a few times now and while everyone is saying it's euphoric, I keep saying it's the most normal I've ever felt. Not "euphoric", I've done other stuff that felt suuuuper good (in an actual

Mask wear becoming a normal thing is one of the few good things to come out of the response to Covid. I like them, they provide privacy from people and cameras, while also increasing protection from many viruses and bacteria (provided you d

Under $500, you can update your current bike to an e-bike. In fact, that's the best way to do it. Get a good bike and modify it into an electric. You get much better customization and quality for the price. But that's not for ev

Yeah, you could also work somewhere not as developed. It's dysfunctional alright, and the pay can be shit. But if the company seriously considers your ideas, you'll be seen as some sort of prophet. Many ideas and systems that you

If these people don't apply for these jobs, they might as well not exist. Amazon warehouses are staffed with immigrants in Europe. And they would simply not be able to do anything IT related. It might seem easy for us, but it's no

When you're at zero, anything happening is a "boom". I should know, I'm from a country where IT is "booming"... Most of it is tedious boring work that was outsourced by western companies because no one there wa

I've got a PIXMA 925 SOHO MFP. It literally eats ink just cleaning printheads on power up, power down and just regularly if left on. I printed about 50 graphs+text pages on new cartridges, now one's low the rest are about half. WT

Yeah, they're way too expensive. So is honey, by the way. I get great fresh honey from local beekeepers for like 5 times less than local store price.

I've got around 10kg of them from a couple of trees in my garden. I've done zero maintenance, they're just there to keep other shit from growing (walnut trees poison the soil, most weeds stop growing, also because of the shad

They're really good at ripening on the go? I have no idea, they cost about the same in Europe from Ireland to Romania, which is rather insane. On that note, walnuts are so expensive, meanwhile they grow literally everywhere around here

Only because governments don't give a flying fuck about it... Yet. They'll catch up eventually. See how some politicians are already starting to call on mining bans. They can easily fully ban it and enforce it. Let's say, put

I have not been able to get ketamine, however I did find my cure for anxiety and depression (mostly). No SSRIs worked, I'm simply immune to that shit. It makes me feel worse, even more suicidal than usual, even if taken long term. And

Christ, I still have a welder that I made myself. It uses a round ferromagnetic core I found in a scrapyard. I forgot how many windings it has, I think around 300 on the input side and 40 on the output. Wiring it was a major pain in the ass

Magic Lantern is a firmware mod for Canon cameras and it gives you more features and control over your hardware. I love this kind of low level mods. https://magiclantern.fm/features.html

Where are these high resolution displays from? I'd imagine Facebook or any other big company would've been able to get their hands on them. Or are they waiting for the next generation of headsets to use them? By specs, those seem

Yeah, seeing how the poorest fare is the best way to judge the development level of a country. Indeed, if you're wealthy, you're gonna be living great anywhere. But look at the poorest people, are they homeless? Do they struggle t

The 5Ghz is actually handled by a daughterboard using a mini PCIe slot (not sure about what the actual interface is tbh). And yes, it overheats, especially in sustained transfer. Slap a heatsink on all the chips and call it a day :D

Ironically, TP-Link is often the best choice for OpenWRT. Cheap, good hardware and most importantly, a supported chipset.

I still remember a GeForce MX440 I bought once. It was stuttering as hell in games. Overclocked it for better performance. Still stuttering. Looked at it and two of the plastic clips (yeap, no screws back then lol) holding the heatsink+fan

It has become an extension of my memory. Their quality going down the drain is often quite literally painful. Gonna need to adapt. Well, already did with my own notes and garbage dumps like Reddit, but it's not enough.

Google's OCR (as found in Lens, Docs and whatever) is insanely good. At least that was my impression based on my own notes (my writing is horrible and I often add very small side notes). Oh yeah, camera quality makes a big difference.
