Windows won't even let you format them in fat32 anymore! Which sucks when the device you plan to use it for TECHNICALLY supports exfat, but there's lots of community posts about how the drivers for exfat regularly corrupt the drive if it tries to read/write too much...

I saw one like this where a guy hired a hacker to get into his encrypted wallet device because he was sure it had like $100k in it. Guy broke in, pulled up the Bitcoin wallet and... It was empty. Dude had forgotten that he sold all his Bitcoin YEARS ago.

Oh I'm glad this tech went somewhere useful! I remember reading the paper and toying with the models they released as a proof of concept like... 8 years ago? It was really powerful back then. The ability to do TTS of someone's voice given literally 3 seconds of training data?! (In fact I found that it worked best with short, nonsense audio clips than actually saying anything. Saying "test test test" worked way better than reading an actual sentence.) But now it looks like it can actually handle tone well. It's also probably way better now, and less... Asthmatic sounding.

Listen, I'm totally down for bioplastic straws. They've got a different texture and are far more brittle, but still compostable and lasts more than long enough for me to enjoy my drink.

I don't get why customers at my work hate them so much. To the point some will bring their own straws if we don't have the regular plastic milkshake straws. It's weird...

And here I am glad that my savings account interest pays for my phone bill+90% of my car bill. Meanwhile I could just be buying a new car every month, instead, with a small loan of $6M

I found out my automatic feeder is just ignoring daylight savings time. I'm getting the notifications "an hour early", and the app acknowledges them as being an hour early, but it still checks off the correct feeding time in the app, so I guess it all works out?

Honestly, my right hand looks BETTER than my left hand. Only explanation that makes sense to me that I've heard is that since I know I suck with my left hand, I take it much slower and pay more attention.

I mean... We basically knew that this was going to happen when they suddenly cared about API usage and staff were reverting people's comments/posts when they tried to mass-delete/poison them.

I found this out when an old phone stopped getting updates, so I was gonna push a third-party OS, but no, even though it was a carrier unlocked MODEL, Verizon locked it and refuses to unlock it. So the phone is just gonna be out of date forever, I guess!

That's what I was thinking! Mine is over half a TB at this point!

Honestly I constantly get home and go to take out my keys and remember like 3 pieces of trash in there...

I find the opposite funny, too. Tripping on a chicken and suddenly gelling like 5 "quest failed" notifications for quests I didn't even have before then.
