I just got the email about this today. My account had maybe 30k comment karma and 2k post karma. I deleted all of my stuff and haven't been back to Reddit since last summer's fiasco. Guess they're not getting the uptake they expected on this bullshit, heh.
I've been working from home about 90% of the time since the pandemic lockdown era. I had a cheap office chair and had noticed my back starting to hurt after a few hours in it per day. I eventually wound up getting a Humanscale Freedom headrest chair, which has been awesome. These chairs are stupid expensive, but I bought mine used, and reeking of the previous owner's perfume. It took months for the smell to completely go away, but I saved about $1,000 over buying one new, and it is otherwise in mint condition.

The fact that a PC can't make an HDMI-connected TV wake up and go to sleep out of the box is fucking maddening.
Bravia was Sony's TV line in recent years.
Popeye Doyle in The French Connection. Sure he's the protagonist, but he's also a huge piece of shit.
STOP USING TWITTER, DUMBASS.
I have real time pricing from my utility. It works out well because we charge 2 electric cars overnight for a fraction of what they would cost to charge at the standard fixed kilowatt-hour rate. My house is heated by natural gas; I don't think the savings would be there if I also was heating my house with electricity as I live in the midwest, where it gets cold as fuck for the winter.
RIP.
Boo fucking hoo, HP.
Doctorow's not wrong.
