Welp, guess I’m stealing that for my new avatar image on every website.

Needs more Hannah Montana.

Ok, I fixed it.

Any detector, even another particle: observes

Quantum particle: Quit pointing that things at me!!

That’s not the best argument, since historically some popes took many years to select. Like, so long it was a major problem and they had to make reforms that included locking the cardinals in a room and taking away everything but bread and water at times.

Good details about the insanity in this Tasting History episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZCs9aMkzBQ

Some fiction exists to inspire.

Like, we’re on a direct path to the Star Trek: TNG post-scarcity civilization, right? With food replicators and transporters and holodecks and so forth.

The language thing sounds like real BS, but otherwise I haven’t had any of those issues in Firefox on Linux.

I’m still rocking an old 1080p plasma TV, but I probably would have noticed if good-looking shows like Severance, Silo, and Foundation were only rendering at 480p.

It does do this stupid thing where if I hit spacebar to pause, it will resume on its own about 4 seconds later. So I have to actually click on the video with the cursor to actually pause. So that’s annoying but nothing like a crash.

Yep, I’ve read a few of the others too. Excellent stuff!

You’re amazing. Format is great. I just scroll past the stuff that doesn’t interest me, but more often than not something catches my eye and I end up reading stuff I wouldn’t have clicked on (let alone waded through ads for) on a regular gaming site. That’s such a good feeling, and yeah, reminds me of the old days of flipping through gaming mags.

This was definitely more effort than the meme.

Also you forgot salad dressing. Most people save the extra packets right?

English dudes, dressed as American cowboys, hanging out in an English quarry, making music that helped define American biker culture.

Yep it’s weird! That’s why I’m asking haha

My phone is definitely at the top of the list (paired first too of course). I don’t recall any way to change the order ('19 Corolla) but I I can’t move it any higher regardless.

I have no personal reservations about dev options. I ran Cyanogen/Lineage rooted for years and now Graphene, so yeah I’m familiar with things like disabling bootlock. I’ve just never had much reason to mess with Bluetooth before this.

I just prefer to avoid having my partner go into her dev options each time. That’s probably just as inconvenient as re-pairing.

I like that idea.

Nope, I used the speaker 2 days in a row. Both times I enabled BT on my phone before powering on the speaker. Partner was upstairs, maybe 25 ft away if there was line of sight. I was standing right in front of the darn thing. It still connected to her phone first each time.

But… Museums do serve a purpose for the living population. If they didn’t invite visitors, then it would be a storehouse.

We both run Linux :p

That’s not a normal Android setting, but after a little research it looks like it’s buried in the developer options. I don’t really want to ask her to mess with those, but if it’s just a one-time toggle it should be fine. We’ll try it out, thanks.

I didn’t even consider checking for a firmware. That’s a good suggestion, thanks. I don’t have high hopes though, as I’ve seen this issue with a variety of output devices (her car too, and other BT speakers).
