I would rather a toggle that permanently disables the button on the bottom so it’s never ever possible to click ever again.
- Comment on The Internet's Biggest Annoyance:Why Cookie Laws Should Target Browsers, Not Websites 7 hours ago:
Most people do the same thing: they sigh, their eyes glaze over, and they click “Accept All” with the muscle memory of a weary soldier.
Who the fuck would do this when there’s a “Reject All” button right there. Like, if a contract allows you to opt out of something you should pretty much always do it.
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 9 hours ago:
I don’t do the first two, and I wash them weekly. My home assistant stuff never needs maintenance, so no I’d wager that if I set it up locally it would work fine if the software was stable. But you said that’s when you’d do maintenance, at bedtime, which is also not when you’d be making the bed or fluffing the pillows or washing the sheets.
- Comment on ISP tricked customers about fiber optics being used in their internet service, German court rules — 'full fiber' customers found to have 'last mile' copper connections 22 hours ago:
It’s not technically fiber at all. Your connection is copper, it doesn’t matter how fast the internet downstream is, you will always be limited by the copper.
For those that aren’t sure if you have fiber, the fiber will literally run into your “modem” (your Optical Network Terminal or ONT) and it will be incredibly clear that you have fiber. The wire is incredibly thin and they will warn you about bending it too much. If you don’t have that then you don’t have fiber.

Ah dang. I though the nine sleep repo listed the parts but it doesn’t.
Don’t know what version you have but found these photos! imgur.com/a/eight-sleep-pod-2-teardown-hky0334

You should definitely be able to fix the main unit. It’s just a heat pump. The value is the tech in the mattress cover.
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 1 day ago:
Expensive but super worth it. Honestly best improvement to my sleep ever. More so than any new mattress or pillow or sheets or anything else has ever done.
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 1 day ago:
Why would you need to do maintenance at all?
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 1 day ago:
Huh? It’s the exact same thing as any other electronic in any home assistant smart house. Put firmware on it that you control. Why would you need to do anything about it at night.
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 1 day ago:
You can flash your own firmware if you want.
- Comment on A robot walks on water thanks to evolution’s solution 1 month ago:
Sorry, I should be more clear. I’ve seen water striders before, but this article is about a specific kind of water strider that’s faster than others due to its fan propulsion. I wanted to see that type of water strider because I want to compare with the robot they created.
Cool video though. I didn’t know that’s how they eat.
- Comment on A robot walks on water thanks to evolution’s solution 1 month ago:
That’s of the robot. I want one of the bugs. It’s hard to understand what they’re replicating.
- Comment on A robot walks on water thanks to evolution’s solution 1 month ago:
Videos of the bugs in question would have been a good addition to the article…

No that was Uber.
- Comment on Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line 1 year ago:
Oh sorry, yeah. No clue about the app but Roku is in the shitter as far as I’m concerned.
- Comment on Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line 1 year ago:
Roku is fucking terrible now. I’m not who you asked but I switched off of Roku to an Apple TV and it’s by far the best device you can use unless you’re building something completely custom.
- Comment on Apple might partner with Meta on AI 1 year ago:
I agree, but this is literally what the DMA does. Make it so that Apple has to allow integration for any provider. This is the exact kind of shit I don’t want in my phone though (concerning Facebook). I’m fine with opening up the API, but it sounds like apple is trying to add deeper OS level integration which most likely won’t be necessarily possible with API changes.
- Comment on Spotify is going to break every Car Thing gadget it ever sold 1 year ago:
That’s how most podcasts work. Doesn’t matter what app you’re using.
- Comment on The highest observatory in the world just opened in Chile 1 year ago:
Wooo! I remember this being talked about when I was a kid!
- Comment on Valve fixes Remote Play on Steam Deck 1 year ago:
The embody is much better in my opinion. I’ve had mine for several years now and it is the best thing I’ve done for my back
- Comment on Valve fixes Remote Play on Steam Deck 1 year ago:
A better office chair really helps with that.
