That’s so punkmanteau

I had a laptop a while back with a fingerprint scanner that would work for one day, then stop working completely. I reinstalled the drivers, and it would work for a day and then stop again. I eventually gave up using the fingerprint scanner until I “upgraded” the laptop to Windows 11, and it worked again. No idea if it still works, since I rarely use that laptop now

You could either have the world’s worst luck, or you are genuinely cursed

Alternatively, you keep spilling coffee on your devices and going into a blind fit of cleaning rage that blocks out the memory of the original coffee spill

Unfortunately such is the ways of YouTube. The actual video is pretty interesting and the channel itself goes into a lot of math explaining why and how regarding the topics.

Also, as thumbnails go, this one isn’t really that bad

Maybe garage is just a class styling for a generic “room” After all, it’s got 4 walls and a few doors

I have them paired to a few things, but only ever use them on my phone and laptop. That’s why I was so confused when it connected to my desktop, since it was last paired and actually used a long time ago.

I guess it’s a complicated issue for me, since they’re paired with more than 2 things but only ever connected to 2 things

I guess I might be evil but when I made APIs for my projects I do this, since I blindly accept the response then look at the JSON to see if it was accepted or not

Something like

if (body_has(JSON)) do_stuff_with(JSON) // including error handling if the response has an error else error_no_json()

I do this since I feel like JSON errors should be separate from HTTP errors

I have the Pixel Buds Pro and they kinda do that, but yeah not very well. I have them paired to my phone and my laptop, and sometimes randomly they’ll silently disconnect from my laptop and permanently pause whatever I was watching if my phone plays a notification. I can’t fix it until I disconnect from and reconnect to my laptop multiple times.

One time I was watching a video on my laptop and they randomly connected to my desktop! I hadn’t used them on my desktop in at least a year, until then!

All in all, they can flow seamlessly, but it’s 60/40 on if it works properly

At least the noise cancelling and passthrough are fun to mess with

I mix ammonia with my raw bleach-milk to really make sure all the nasties are dead! And the plus side is that nobody else wants to drink it so there’s more for me

“see and hear the farting” Classic, page 872 of the Mechanic’s Handbook!

if (request.ip != myip) return ErrorCodes.NotFound

And an ipv6 version for all you up 6 fans

if (request.ipv6 != myipv6) return ErrorCodes.NotFound

My sister would come into my room, and regardless of if I had the light on or off, would flip it to be the opposite. All the while staring and plotting destruction. Day, night, didn’t matter, it would be flipped.

I learned how to flintknap a little, and it was super fun. I heard buying rocks can be expensive if you don’t live near where they’re plentiful, but what hobby doesn’t get expensive? I went to the class with my brother in law and he got absolutely lost in the sauce working on his flint, and didn’t talk to anyone else there

It can be tiring but it’s definitely fun seeing what you’ve made (even if you’re not very good at it like me) and besides, you get to say you’re hitting rock/buying rock so there’s even more fun to be had!

That’s actually pretty cool, I haven’t felt that in a pretty long time so I’m pretty jealous of you there

I used to able to touch my fingers to the back of my hand in middle school, but 10 years later I can only bend them back a little less than 3/4

It was a neat party trick while it lasted, because everyone thought it hurt me to do it lol

I’m looking forward to hopefully being able to change the device I’m playing audio out of without having to start Spotify, that way I can change it before I blare fart sounds out of my car speakers or something

I Bing’d it and it told me to download Microsoft Edge

I had this happen all the time, although I’m using a beta version of Android (pixel 7 pro)

Seeing this post made me realize that I haven’t seen this happen in a while, even though I’m still using the beta, maybe they fixed it? Good luck trying to report it as a bug by the way, I reported a notification shade rendering bug and they labeled it as a duplicate of a completely unrelated lock screen bug!

He’s calling me “dude”!

Yeah right, I know exactly what you’re trying to do Paperclip boy! I’m NEVER telling you where I hid my Paperclip! Just give it up already!

Steps to building a cool program (the really cool way)

1. Clone the GitHub repository
2. Open command prompt
3. Run the build command
4. It fails because the repository owner uses a different c++ compiler and it only works with that one
5. It fails again, realize you installed visual studio wrong somehow so spend an hour trying to get the visual studio installer to find and uninstall it before deleting the installation directory entirely and installing the required version again
6. It still fails, the project looks for version “” of protobuf but you have “3.1.10.1” so you reconfigure it to look for a real version of protobuf
7. It fails again, some tool that isn’t in the readme is required to build it
8. It fails again, it’s not actually compatible with windows yet
9. Give up and wait for pre built binaries

Edit: did the other guy that responded block me? I got a notification about it but can’t load the comment
