#Amazon One Palm authentication is being discontinued. They should have done face authentication. It’s working in China very well. 🥴

This has to be rage bait. Spending nearly $25k/year on Amazon and posting about it in r/Anticonsumption on #Reddit? 😂

Landlord is here at the apartment swapping out the ballast that burned out in my kitchen lights. They are going on 2 hours, and it looks like maybe another hour before completion. They paused so many times to rewatch the how-to videos on YouTube. 😂

🤦🏼‍♂️
It’s ok to read books people! You don’t need any of this!! 😵‍💫

Something maybe #Linux community can look into.

That is very expensive for email… $10/month/user?! I thought #fastmail prices for $5/month/user was pricey!

#selfhosting email needs to be a thing again.

Broker rejected some random PDF they want me to sign because I used an #Apple Pencil. I need to print, sign, take a pic, and send it. But they also said #Docusign is okay if I do it myself?

I'm so tired 🫩

I didn’t even know “glass cloth” was a thing inside of chips. #TIL. It’s the new “no more memory available” problem #Apple, #AMD, #Qualcomm, and #Nvidia are having problems sourcing. (Although I think Apple and Nvidia are secure in memory department).

Tried to add my driver’s license to my #iPhone & #AppleWatch wallet. After a 3-week wait, I get a message with a generic “can’t verify your identity - contact DMV”. 🫩

I guess next time #starbucks employees should draw a snowflake. ❄️ https://ktla.com/news/local-news/starbucks-barista-fired-for-pig-drawing-on-deputys-cup/

Not Sure, what’s going on with ad engines nowadays, but #Reddit thinks I’m in need of #Bollards? 🤨

Linus (creator of #linux and #git) writes about his #Vibecode project on GitHub. Even the master is a vibe-coder now!

According to my #AppleWatch, I had the best sleep of my life last night. It was a great sleep. 😊

Betterment sent email out from an unauthorized user promoting a #scam. I wonder if anyone fell for it. Seems like this is pretty bad unauthorized access and should be a bigger deal.

About once a month, we receive a false alarm for a fire in the 40-story apartment building where I live. We’ve grown accustomed to the alarms, and none of us react anymore. I can’t help but feel a sense of dread about this becoming a tragic event in the future. 😒

First week of 2026 done. Only 51 to go! 🫠

This #Lenovo laptop screen looks pretty cool. It rolls out to be a huge widescreen. Finally, a use for those bendable screens that doesn’t involve smartphones. But will it run #Linux? 🤔

Newly introduced #Samsung refrigerator seems like one of the most hellish nightmares to put in your kitchen. Voice-controlled door opening is the start of the features no one asked for but is the manufacturer’s highlight.

#Linux (ok technically #GNOME) wants to be more mainstream by removing good features. 😂

Bye-bye middle-click to paste! (maybe)

Shocking. Not one of these toasters at the top has an app, service, or internet connection to spy on me. Are you telling me people don’t want to download, register, and subscribe to a service to toast bread?! 🤯
