@buzzyrobin @jacqueline regarding used small(er) iphones the "se 3" should also be a decent option, same internals as the 13 series but outwardly identical to the 8

i thought it died years ago, but apparently the battery was just so low that it wouldn't even try to charge. briefly injected 5 v to the battery terminals and now it's working and charging off usb!!

sadly the pokemon save is long gone since they need power to keep data..

omg? the palm tablet i played pokemon blue on in high school is working again??

only just learned that Maxwell (low-poly spinning cat) and Uni ("big boobs") are two distinct individuals. embarrassing

is this good

so is a "hot minute" another "biweekly" situation or is one usage objectively wrong?

can't believe that magic plant hormones ("keiki paste") are really converting a flower bud into baby leaves 🥹 im so excited to (hopefully) duplicate my phalaenopsis orchids finally!!

i've ordered jeans which fit me. then ordered a size smaller to check if it's too small. it is too small. why did i do that

@ireneista fixed for you now too?

@ireneista same (i think?) here, the "condition" and "item location" dropdowns are broken for me. was also wondering if it's somehow my fault, but sounds unlikely then

@samhenrigold doesn't "plateau" imply flat? i mean, unfortunately accurate in my case, but seems risky for general use

i believe in a "misery business" x "better than revenge" cinematic universe i.e. they're about each other/the same guy

becoming the mythical "10x engineer" by simply spending 10 minutes on the computer for every minute in the day

(for some reason, my pc just Does This every week. i don't know why)

@nina_kali_nina (11" gang 😮) played with it some more with my sibling, and it seems to vary by viewing angle; they see red on "red" from the side but green head-on. i'm still not sure i ever see red, but it's definitely not always green. sometimes yellow? lol. really interesting effect!

@nina_kali_nina fascinating. i see green, purple, and black respectively. no idea if my laptop (11" macbook air) or brain is at fault here 😅

ofc, i'll be keeping the 11" macbook air as my main laptop since the 12" is very slow and a notoriously unreliable model, but it _is_ very light and very cute..

bought as non-working on ebay for ~100 cad. turned out all internal flex cables were torn (???), the keyboard had several bad keys, plus an unrelated short in the touchpad caused it to intermittently think the power button was held down 😅

...at least the main board and screen were alright, and i stole cables and a keyboard (~90 screws, yay) from a second machine. the touchpad issue confused me for a while but resolved in the end just by cleaning corrosion!
