When I was a child, I once tore apart my room looking for my game boy colour, which was in my hand the whole time.

Yeah, I had undiagnosed ADHD.

One of my favourite things about godot is that the godot editor is itself a godot project made with godot (using c++).

Absolutely nightmarish.

My mum's an academic so she's been using computers all her life, she's not exactly "techy" but I am eternally grateful I was able to get her set up with bitwarden as a password manager.

I know on my Samsung at the top of the apps list in settings there's a "choose default apps" option, but I'm unsure if that's one of their changes or not. I'm pretty sure the functionality is in base Android.

Though not every fail state is going to show up. If you start seeing weird intermittent behaviour from a drive, for goodness sake find a way to back it up immediately.

My mum's new nuc started having some issues, SMART showed perfect drive health. After trying a few things to diagnose, I rebooted to run memtest and check for bad ram, and that was the last time it ever booted into windows. Controller or something on the nvme ssd died. Far too expensive to try and repair for data recovery. Thankfully had a... Somewhat recent backup. Not as recent as we would have liked.

Swipe typing used to be so good for me, but now I have to correct every third word, it feels like. And it keeps correcting to just the most random ass words. Why the hell would it correct "probably" to "pusillanimous"? I've tried multiple modern keyboards and they're all like this, I should download an old apk...

Ever since I was a child, I've loved stale rice crackers. Specifically, the stage of staleness where they're no longer super crunchy and have started going slightly rubbery (if they go past that, it's no longer good). Something about the texture/mouthfeel is great to me. I used to leave my rice crackers to age before eating them. I don't do it as much anymore because I still like them well enough crunchy and I don't have the patience for it.

Other than that, I do enjoy putting a salted cracker in a sweet sandwich (jam, nutella, lemon curd, etc) to add some nice crunch. Works just as well with savoury sandwiches, but I think that's less weird.

Fucks up what I expect the arrow keys to do in Excel is what.

I got some nice keycaps when I was building my first mechanical keyboard. Aside from that... Soldering gear, 3D printer parts... Cat toys, preflashed smart bulbs (so I can use them completely locally with home assistant), magnets.. And generally any time I see something on Amazon that clearly is just rebranded Chinese stuff, and I don't need it quickly, I can find it on there for a fraction of the price.

Not a lie, have a good relationship with my mum. Still holds true when she had some in Amsterdam again recently. 😅

Was far more than just sleepy. She'd zonk out immediately.

Never used it myself, but my mother has told me when she was much younger she tried pot a few times and stopped because it just put her to sleep, and this was well before the strong strains we have today.
