Its very fun getting a turtle notification too.

Every country has a different way of securing cards, and north america sucks at it.

Depending on the payment processor, here in Canada you need my card number, as well as one or two of the following: PIN, Postal Code, CVV/CVC, a voice changer and my mother’s maiden name, etc to do a transaction without my physical card.

With my physical card you don’t even need that for $2-300 purchases (depending on retailer), or more if the retailer hasn’t blocked swiping/the thief has access to a swiping card reader.

This looks like skyrim sneaky archer: the game.

Definitely gunna play this.

Probably, but I haven’t used nova launcher since it was purchased by an ad company.

Honestly, one of these look enticing enough to deal with the galaxy app store to me.

Especially since most of those features should just be part of the phone, and not walled behind a 3rd party app store.

Just a heads up for screenshotting webtoons; you can do it if you load it up in your browser instead.

That being said, for ongoing series, I use the Mihon/tachiyomi webtoons extension, and if I can’t read a series because its locked the mangasee extension rehosts everything the moment it is free (and usually the last few chapters are free for at least a little bit before their shit paywall goes up).

My biggest issue with webtoons is that basically no translation group will touch a series hosted there, and that webtoons doesn’t hire skilled translators/typesetters, so it always feels like I am reading a fan translation.

Console commands should not be a requirement to play a game that they claimed was in a releasable state. Also, some players are on a steam deck, where console commands are difficult to make use of on the go.

Boiling your toys is both good for sanitary reasons, and fun in its own right.

My car was too cheap to have an electric liftgate, though I don’t know if I can open it with a dead battery - never tried, and never had a battery so dead it needed replacing that urgently. Very possible it doesn’t open with a dead battery though, at least if the vehicle is locked when the battery dies.

An old escape maybe? Mine is a '21 and definitely not like that.

I wasn’t trying to disprove the point, I was just curious what ford vehicles the battery is up front and impossible to remove.

And honestly, for how often a battery needs to be removed, under the spare tire in the back is not bad at all, and there are still jump points under the hood and easily accessible. Clearly labeled too.

Really? My battery is under my spare in the trunk.

My lithium batteries on the other hand I think you have to remove the back seats to access, but I honestly hope I can afford to trade it in before I need it.

Ah, didn’t know it worked differently for spdif, never had anything nice enough to use it.

But there is a setting to disable that? I don’t remember where I found it because I don’t remember where to find any settings, but you can definitely disable automatic shut off of audio devices.

Shouldn’t even be allowed one property intended for rental honestly.

I am using it still, but honestly every update that I notice has made it more annoying to use - most recently adding extra confirmations to choose even a single image to send. It also hasn’t made proper support for message reactions yet, which is annoying since my contacts are increasingly using them in place of responses.

My spouse gave up on it when it stopped sending images consistently for her, and their response was to blame an app that she did not even have for the issue.

Unfortunately fossify messenger isn’t there yet for me either, and Google’s SMS feels horrible compared to textra now.

So life loses vibrancy, but my retinas stay in slightly better shape when I’m 80? Sounds like future me problem then, definitely have no interest in trying again with a different pair after my next eye exam.

Unfortunately every eye doctor in this province (or at least not a 13 hour drive away) is associated with a chain, with I think a single exception that is referral only. So the best I can do is get an eye exam, demand my detailed results, and do my best to order glasses that fit comfortably.

Man, I wish this was always true.

Here in BC/Canada, our healthcare doesn’t cover glasses, and our 3rd party providers only cover $2-300 every 2 years for glasses.

My last job had a $500 yearly flex-spend coverage, which I used to buy $600 glasses (mainly lenses cost-wise) with all the options/coatings/transitions/blue light filter/etc from the local eye clinic, and honestly the lenses are not great, and after less than 3 years the coating is bubbling in horizontal lines across the entire lens.

Honestly though, been regretting getting glasses with the blue light filter for the past 2 years anyways, nothing feels vibrant anymore and i swear it has been negatively affecting my mood, and i have noticed zero difference in eye strain levels.

Air cooling and closed loop coolers have gotten better, and honestly no one can afford to spend $3000 to get 3° lower temps any more.

A series of unfortunate events was pretty bad for me.

My grandpa kept buying them, and i read them because I didn’t know how to not reqd a book given to me, but they definitely taught me how to say no to a gift.
