There’s always Tasker.

It’s stupidly powerful once you get used to how it works, even without root, and it can definitely patch into the default “share” functionality.

Are you looking for something like Pocket?

There are self-hosted things a lot like it. Vivaldi and some other browsers have similar functionality. Not sure about downloading the videos, but there are other tools for that.

Cans are actually recyclable. That’s the benefit. The rest is marketing.

Red Bull doesn’t give you wings either.

The one about Peter Jackson making They Shall Not Grow Old is also neat.

Apparently he collects WWI artillery and they used his private collection for the sound recording.

This is the most “um acktually” of um actualities but…

For the Apollo 11 documentary that uses only 1969 audio/video they built a custom scanner to digitally scan the 70mm film with the intention that the originals will never need to be touched again at least in their lifetime and its ~16k resolution.

Granted I don’t think you can get that version anywhere? But it exists.

Super cool doc by the way. Really surreal seeing footage that old at modern film quality. The documentary about the documentary is also really interesting.

Something like this ?

If you’re wanting a mirrored classic numpad with the bigger enter/plus I am surprised it seems like an unexplored niche of custom keyboard stuff. Can’t find any atm.

Could probably grab a numpad kit like this and mount the everything on the bottom of the PCB, but you’d need to do some soldering. On the other hand, that kind of kit is generally recommended as a first soldering project.

I settled on a SPH-10BT a few years ago. It didn’t have backup camera support though IIRC there is a radar add-on, but don’t know how available it is anymore.

It seems insane to me, especially with the prevalence of Apple/Android Auto, that no car company is willing to have the phone be the supplemental screen in the car.

That there’s no built-in phone mounts in cars still bugs me. Put wireless charging on a spot on the dash, NFC/Bluetooth to get it to automatically snap into car mode. Don’t have to develop an in-house UI that everyone hates and can focus on making a car.

Fortunately, there is a Tom Scott video.

IIRC it’s not even the only sterilized insects US government air drops from planes. ( Fruit flies over LA? )

And a 4tb SSD is the same price as a 16tb HDD.

If that trend continues, when you get to a 100tb of SSD(s) the equivalently priced HDD(s) will have 100x the capacity.

Garmin Instinct ticks those boxes.

They’re what I switched to when my pebbles died. Backed everything but the Round. The fitness stuff is a bit overkill but can turn it all off. If you have one of the solar Instincts and don’t use GPS you’ll get significantly more than a week battery life.

They do, but I’ve also seen it the other way around, where the price on Amazon is the price on the manufacturers site plus shipping. Usually for more reputable/niche products. IFixit I would’ve thought would be big/popular enough to do that but I guess not.

IFixit is generally good quality/value in my experience if it’s actually them and not some knockoff/drop shipper. Granted haven’t had a need to buy anything of theirs for years because the one I have keeps being great.

That kit is $40 on their site. Weird that it’s cheaper on Amazon in the first place.

Neat!

One of my few remaining Google dependencies is maps and timeline. I just like having that data somewhere and most of the FOSS stuff I’ve seen previously is piecemeal at best. Will have to play with this.

You just described a water heater.

One that would potentially store heat at super dangerous pressures of steam granted.

Ja der Typ.

Will anyone be better than Tom?

Became everyone’s friend, became a millionaire, retired, (so far?) avoided falling off the right wing conspiracy cliff. Kind of just a quiet dude.

Yuppies are weird because it was originally just a way to keep them in the news (“new movement! new group! news at 11!”) and be ridiculous. They got the DoD to sign a contract about exactly how high they were permitted to levitate the Pentagon.

And then it had it’s own Eternal September moment. But everything seems to.

Disney hoped the clause would be enforceable. At least part of the reason Disney settled out of court was because they didn’t want to challenge that assumption.

You can put whatever clauses you want in a contract. The law still trumps those contracts if it ever comes to enforceability.

By that logic signing up for Selective Service in the US means the US doesn’t have a volunteer military.

Love the horribly confused operator trying to fix problems with her equipment before putting the call through to the president.
