This is c/DadJokes though…

I think the point of 11h is to achieve that kind of range without directional antennas. Basically as a higher-bandwidth version of LoRa.

Took me a second to get that. Gross. But also lol

Yeah, that one took me a minute. I think “drip” or “slow drip”? I know “drip” used to be a term but was never one I associated with “screwball” or “crackpot”. Usually I’d heard “drip” to mean something closer to “dull” or “boring”.

Karen!Data is basically this guy from “The Neutral Zone”:

In the 90s, before I learned Spanish, it was Macarena

…it’s a suppository.

Very nice. Could definitely use that. I’ve got the same Ender as pictured, so def seems worth $10 and would pay for itself using up the tiny leftover bits on various rolls i have.

What’s the benefit? Does it pause the print to let you swap filament? I’ve often wondered what to do with the last bit of filament on the roll that isn’t enough to do much of a print, and if so, that seems like it would help.

Talk to the hand! Cause the face ain’t listening.

They do, and I tried it, but it keeps crashing after completing a request (even a simple GET). Could just be that it doesn’t like the Orange Pi it’s running on, but other extensions work fine. I’ll try it in VSCodium later.

I want to include this in the “cybersecurity tips” email newsletter thing we have to send out every quarter. 😆

Veren zol fun dir a blintse

Pretty decent unless there’s a lot of animation / video in them. Calling, texting, looking up something on the internet, bank app, auth app, etc all work great. Some of the stock Android components don’t work super great with it, though, like the quick action buttons (though, arguably, they don’t work great on any Android phone either lol).

Feels sluggish at times but that’s just the e-ink being what it is. I mostly treat it like a dumb phone that’s also an e-reader.

If you need a good read, I highly recommend “Deep Space Nine: Millennium” trilogy. Weyoun is the big bad, naturally, and he’s got all the smarm we know and love with a heaping helping of religious zealotry on top (he’s literally Kai Weyoun in the book and is the combined worst parts of Kai Winn and Weyoun (except Weyoun 6).

I’ve always joked that coding as a hobby is just digital knitting lol.

Literally me for decades. My astigmatism wasn’t diagnosed until 2-3 years ago despite yearly (or semi-yearly) visits to the optometrist. Thought that was just how lights looked in the dark lol.

I’ve gradually weaned off of smartphones over the last 18 months. Currently daily-driving the Minimal Phone and loving its distraction-free (or at least distraction-lite) ways.

I may not be analog like the article is highlighting, but I have basically eliminated the doom scrolling and have reignited my passion for reading (the one “distraction” the Minimal Phone does well is being an e-reader since it’s got an e-ink screen).

Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025

I’m just going to ignore the irony of that and appreciate it at face value 😆
