And those have taken over all the damn tv remotes. I designed and 3D printed a replacement faceplate for my Samsung tv's remote that hides them, out of retaliation (they were in a spot where I accidentally hit the netflix button when trying to pause what I was watching, which was annoying af).

Addicted to caffeine and sugar at the same time.

I have been screwed a time or two, but honestly, most of the time I've had a pretty good experience dealing with Chinese sellers. Of course that's partly because I choose who I buy from carefully, as yeah there are a lot of scanners out there. I've also been scammed by local people and I think it's important to not immediately judge people based on where they are from.

I'm pretty sure the reason there are so many scammers in china, is because of the amount of poor and desperate people there, and the fact that the situation has been like that for so long, is the reason it seems to have now been ingrained in their culture. There's a huge amount of scammers in other poor countries like india as well.

Edit: typos

Not to speak of the battery life that hasn't improved at all.

I started on home assistant with just a couple Smart bulbs and oh boy has it gotten out of hand since then lol. Home bridge sounds good if that's all that's needed though.

The US is also a third world country just like china.

Fair point. Honestly had no idea as I've never owned any apple devices myself, but yeah that sucks and I'd probably also reluctantly stick to Safari in that case.

The problem is that Firefox desperately needs more users and even those who use the WebKit version are better than nothing. The WebKit version at least gets the name of Firefox out there.

I kinda agree about the photos, but when printing documents, it's almost always something I need immediately. Going to the library is quite inconvenient.

I bought a used brother laser printer for 15€ and got two 1000 page toner Cartridges for it for 20€. That's quite a lot of printing for 35€ total and that will be enough for years with my needs. Definitely worth the convenience imo.

Well if you print lots of photos then maybe but that's about it.

Inkjet printers as a whole are a bad investment.

If someone owns a house, they kinda have to own at the very least some land around it. I just don't really see any other way for that to work. Would be interesting to hear how that could work otherwise.
