  • They're very easy to install. It's almost as easy as installing a shower head.

    There are also compact battery powered portable handheld bidets that work about as well as the real thing. I have one I take with me on trips.

  • Not a protector per se, but I put this cover on my iPad that makes it feel like paper when you write on it. The cover magnetically attaches so I can put it on and take it off as needed.

  • I've had a mid-tier OLED tv the last few months. The colors and contrast look phenomenal to me. You get true black on OLED since each pixel is individually lit.

    I watch a lot of horror films which will have many dimly lit or night time scenes. OLED makes those scenes much easier to see because of increased contrast between dark and light.

  • So many people think Mac is an acronym for whatever reason, as in "Do you use MAC or PC?".

    I don't know why they think this. It was never formatted that way in any of Apple's marketing materials.

    It really annoys me. In my head when I read it I hear "MAC" pronounced in the voice of Gilbert Godfrey.

    I'm guessing they're confusing it with MAC addresses? They probably saw the term somewhere and wrongly assumed it had something to do with Apple Macs.

  • However, I'd expect businesses would also want to reduce cold and covid's impact on employee productivity? Wouldn't fewer employees needing to take sick time because of cold/covid increase their profits? Outside of businesses that profit from cold/covid, I don't see what the motivation for businesses would be against this vaccination.

  • Is this edition of Looney Tunes available on blu-ray? The Max version was a 4k restoration based off new scans of the film iirc.

  • I use office on macOS. Points 1 and 2 work for me only if the document is saved locally and not on OneDrive.

  • With Word, people using section breaks when most of the time they should have used the simpler page break.

    Section breaks are supposed to be used if you want to have a change in the document layout in the middle of the document. This change could be with the margins, the orientation, the contents of the header or footer, the numbering (eg switch from roman numerals to arabic numerals), etc.

    But if you just want the line to move to the next page, use a page break. Section breaks increase the chance of unintended layout and page numbering inconsistencies.

    Microsoft should rename section break to "layout break" maybe.

    Also, related topic, I really hate it when people just input a bunch of line breaks to get the cursor to the next page, instead of a page break.

    macOS + iOS browser recommendations?

    After the whole Firefox debacle I'm trying to find a new privacy oriented browser for my Mac and iOS devices with bookmark syncing. Ideally an open source browser but I don't think one exists right now that has both macOS and iOS versions. For example LibreWolf has a Mac app but no iOS app.

    It's not open source but Orion browser which exists on both Mac and iOS is the only browser I can find on Apple's App Store that has "Data Not Collected. The developer does not collect any data from this app." on its app store page.

    And it has some interesting features like being able to run Chrome/Firefox extensions on iOS (including uBlock).

    But I did some digging into Kagi, the makers of Orion and was turned off by them being an AI search company. Also, despite Kagi claiming Orion completely blocks fingerprinting I couldn't get Orion to pass EFF's fingerprinting benchmark tool; it always said I was unique no matter what settings I tried. And I've read some other questionable things abou

    Content warnings vs hashtag filter?

    I understand the need for content warnings on posts containing nsfw or nsfl materials, or anything that has a good chance of triggering a traumatic response, eg discussions related to self harm or abuse.

    But I've run across people who expect others to put content warnings on selfies (especially if they contain eye contact), pictures of food (often specifically food with meat), and anything to do with politics. I don't want to invalidate their needs or preferences and say they shouldn't wish to see those things on their timeline; I'm just not sure content warnings is the appropriate tool in the cases.

    Mastodon has very customizable controls for hashtag filtering now. You can set up filters to completely hide posts containing certain hashtags or you can have mastodon apply content warnings to them for you if you want to decide whether to see the affected posts case by case.

    I think the people in the latter group should instead apply hashtag filtering as needed. If they see a post t

  • I think this meme is referring to when Apple ripped out 32bit support in macOS a few years ago. I couldn't use Wine anymore to play old windows games on my Mac after that update for example.

  • It's really hard for me to name a single favorite Metroid; I love most of them. In terms of non-linear open exploration, Super Metroid is probably my favorite, followed by AM2R. But I also really enjoyed the boss fights in Metroid Dread; they were really challenging...for me at least.

    Control Stage Manager with Shortcuts?

    Is it possible to create a shortcut that could have 2 or more apps open side by side together in stage manager? E.g., have Ivory, Discord, and Messages open together and specify that Discord takes the right half of the screen and Ivory and Messages split the left half.
