Man, I must be weirdly lucky or gentle with phones. Note 3, Note 9, and finally whatever the S25 Note equivalent is actually called, and the only reason I updated from the Note 9 is because it was outdated enough that apps started going “dude, you need something more modern.” Everything hardware wise still worked fine on it.

Either I’ve had weirdly good luck with Samsung, or I’m exceptionally gentle on phones. I expect 6 years minimum out of my Notes, and so far that’s held up.

Wait, you cant create macros in calc? I haven’t had a reason to try yet, but what?

Hell, Windows 11 is broken enough on my work laptop that it sometimes struggles with fucking explorer.exe, and this damn thing will run multithousand part CAD models without too much hassle while Windows isnt fucking up.

There’s a reason I’m not looking at Windows for anything other than my main desktop anymore. My family used to run 4 or 5 Windows computers. Will likely be two moving forward, and would be zero if my wife and I didnt have programs that just do not have a Linux equivalent.

Well, as much as I hate being on Windows 11, I’m glad I figured it out a couple days ago since I have a couple programs that just don’t have versions that will run on anything other than Windows.

My old-ass laptop will be getting Linux whenever I get around to actually digging it out of the pile of shit that was my CNC router.

At least the front didn’t fall off.

I believe my car hits somewhere around 0.95g under full emergency braking, so yeah, that’s kinda a lot for regen only.

Yeah, although in this case, I’m not really sure what Strava expects to have happen. Garmin is orders of magnitude larger than them and hasn’t lost a patent lawsuit in like 15 years. The most likely outcome I see of this is that Strava goes from 26 patents to 24 patents.

Heatmaps I have no clue, and hilariously enough, Garmin had heatmaps before Strava.

The segments one actually has some innovative ideas when I read the claims, but they filed for it multiple years after they offered it to the public so I have no clue how they got that patent either.

My favorite is the completely easy to remember and useful LShift + LCtrl + LAlt + LWin + Y combo.

The true hack to get noticed by recruiters is to just not update your profile for years at a time. Not sure why they keep contacting me, there hasn’t been anything new on my profile for years. Hell, Im not sure I’m old enough to drink in the profile picture.

I run front and rear lights on my bike, might be enough to get mistaken for a motorcycle.

I wonder if those LED’s work on Flock cameras? They are getting to be dense enough that I’ve been tempted to do something to make it harder to read my plate for cameras, but there’s also one camera that needs to be able to read my plate for me to get though a gate.

Also kinda tempted to throw an old license plate on my bicycle and take wacky ass routes around that cars can’t follow to put at least one bullshit data point in their data.

Like, at least 7GB bigger.

Stuff.

weird-looking Ps.

Yup, everything I see this in the wild it takes two reads to figure it out, especially since in my font the upper tail is barely there. I’m about ready to see if there’s an extension for Firefox thst will convert them back to th at this point.

In the cycling world it’s kinda funny how people try to make a low climbing century (100 mile route) as a first go, and where I am I have a glut of choices for centuries with well under 1,000 meters of climbing. I just cleared out a bunch of my routes, and still have two century routes with under 600m of climbing.
