Sold. Just picked it up for €1.49. Thanks for the tip and the link.

You may bet your bollix on (“rest assured” in non-Dublin English) them having torrents blocked on their free WiFi.

If I download music in a Starbucks, can they fine the Starbucks CEO then?

This sounds like the kind of grassroots activity I might be interested in.

Fascinating read. Thanks for sharing.

Dearest American friends,

I’m happy for you. Given your tax system this seems like a really positive step forward.

I hope it makes your lives better.

Perfect. Thank you.

Can you tell me a little more about this please?

I haven’t come across a smart switch before as I generally try to minimise the number of smart devices in my home. I presume you have to pair your phone with something. It sounds quite intriguing.

I fully agree. Like even 90% would reduce the amount of waste significantly without really impacting usability.

I got a reasonably high end phone for my last one (about €500 at the time) and it survived so so well and I only learned about the 80% thing about 2 years into it and still was charging it to full occasionally.

This automatic 80% thing that just came in is great.

You’re welcome. :)

I had learned about the “only charging to 80% extending battery longevity significantly” thing a while back and got over 5 years out of my last phone because of it.

I did switch to lineage OS after OnePlus stopped doing updates. Still… Not having to try to time it myself is a really nice feature now.

Some newer phones allow you to stop charging at 80% which will essentially extend the life of your battery for as many years as you want it.

Settings->battery->stop charging at 80%

I get a full day out of 80% and I’m nearly always near a charging source so I use it and haven’t found any issues with it.

I am pretty sure this only showed up in Android 14 for me. OnePlus phone.

My understanding is that electrolytes are actually good for plants. Have you heard that?

Hahaha. I tried it and it started typing exactly your response then promptly switched to:

I’m just a language model, so I can’t help you with that.

Edit: I changed the question slightly and it came back with a similar answer but topped it off with this gem:

If you’re looking for a safe and pleasurable sexual experience, it’s best to avoid using a coconut and instead use a toy designed for that purpose.

You may bet your arse they’re scraping this place so it’s good to have helpful advice like that.

Time to start shitposting!

What the what? Who is paying $23 for that???

The reviews are quality.

Napster pay decent artist royalties and offer a Spotify migration service for your playlists etc. as well as lossless music.

(Note I’m not super familiar with Tidal)

I had a look earlier in the year and I believe Napster pay very decent artist royalties and offer a Spotify migration service. I will be moving to them after this.

Massive props to you for helping the guy out like that. Kindness like that can really turn around someone’s life.

The people closest to them shelter them and beat around the bush not to hurt their feelings

It’s a massive parenting failure to do this to your kids.

My kids have occasionally needed a shower and not been aware. That happens as they go through puberty and learn.

“You need a shower before you head out”. Done. No fuss. It’s not offensive if you don’t tiptoe around it. Mildly uncomfortable the first time but that’s it.

They then learn that it’s not socially acceptable to stink and that they need to pay attention to themselves.

China bans Facebook, Google, etc.

Millions of Americans walking around with spying devices for the Chinese government seems like something to be concerned about.
