Tempted to keep my phone screen monochrome all the time. It matches my outfits ok.

This only shows that over time the electronics has slowly creeped closer and close to the body. Ha ha. I guess with lower costs and miniaturization it makes sense.

While I don’t wear tubes, I wear wired earphones, instead of earpods. For some reason sticking a wireless electronic device into the ear cavity inside my skull, right next to the brain gives me the heebijeebs tbh. They seem to be quite popular tho!

Was watching die hard 2 w some friends the other day, and in the beginning of the film, the protagonist is on a plane wearing wierd cumbersome stethascope like earphones that are attached to the armrest. Totally forgotten there was a time when the transducer was not located in the ear part but was located in the armrest and there were just tubes that went to the ears to carry the sound. If you took off your stethoscope earphones and pressed your ear to the armrest, you could hear everything.

This podcast is really interesting - how teenage engineering makes cool stuff. I’ve only listened to half of it so far but great to learn about their process! https://podcastaddict.com/waveform-the-mkbhd-podcast/episode/170637297 there’s a YouTube video version of the interview too. https://youtu.be/NlHk4HQDgaM

So I heard on Japanese news that they named the surrounding rocks with dog breed names cause it would help imagine the size of the rocks by thinking if the size of the dog. That’s pretty genius if you ask me.

SLIM on the moon lol

@nasser yay! loved this game, think about it now still tbh.

@ivan did you try w shortcuts? I made some automated event that turns it on at sleepy time.

Picked up some bad habits during covid like doom scrolling. Never did that before - hated spending time on my phone. I’d always get the shittiest smallest refurbished phone, kept fixing it, replacing parts as it broke (so many cute tiny parts! 🥰) Now I have a mid level phone that’s only 3 yrs old. been using it to consume media and games - actually no longer games, just media. Recently made it so that it turns completely monochrome during the evening hours. Let’s see how effective that is.

Found my mom’s old English book that has a bunch of expressions referencing the literature it comes from. I guess she used it to study when she was young.

There’s an e-ink device called the Boox Palma that is only slightly wider than a mobile phone. It runs Android and takes photos w flash etc. if it were a phone I’d seriously consider it ok. I dunno.. it looks v cute and calm to me.

@n1ckfg that was my understanding but I wasn’t sure. Like I didn’t think it was just road runner cartoons. As a kid one time I looked it up in the phone book and there were so many acme businesses! I chuckled but was also confused.

@nasser right? I mean I thought rilakkuma season 2 was p close to being my biography but this one really hits close.

Are businesses named acme exclusively for old cartoons? I thought it was like a generic american business name. Like the foobar of American entrepreneurialship basically.

Too soon

@nasser hello me too, microchips tho. I’m on a diet ok.

guess what!! you can pre-purchase helldivers2 on steam. i love helldivers so much, i can't wait for the new version to drop. ✨
