  • Thank you for posting this. These devices are getting out of control. They are marketed as a convenience to the driver, when in actuality they are capturing and selling your location and driving habit information to data brokers and insurance companies. Sometimes dealerships will even add an aftermarket tracking device to their vehicles without telling you. I removed one that I found in a Crosstrek I bought last year. The device I removed was made by iKON Technologies, and is 'intended' to be used for lot management at the dealership. The dealership tried to sell me an overpriced security plan associated with the GPS tracker. I declined. They left it on anyway. What they don't tell you is that iKON Technologies installs them at no cost to the dealership, and that the tracker is used for repossessions and capturing data to be used for targeted marketing or sell to data brokers. Some devices have the ability to inhibit your starter and ignition system like the one in this manual.

  • Are you drinking caffeine? Stimulant meds and caffeine aren't a great combo. Try switching to tea (mint or decaffeinated). It might take a while to form the new habit, but it is definitely a game changer.

    Are you eating a meal prior to taking your medication? Try eating something that takes a while to digest with your meds. Oatmeal is a fantastic option for breakfast. Veggies are good too. Avoid heavily processed and high sugar foods with your medication.

    Are you taking supplements or other OTC meds? Acid reflux medication changes the pH of your stomach and will decrease the effectiveness of lisodextramphetamine. I ended up finding this out the hard way. My provider upped my dosage of Vyvanse because I mentioned that it didn't seem to be working. This resulted in increased anxiety and a similar crash effect like what you are talking about. I had to find/fix what was causing the acid reflux and dial back the dosage of my meds before things got better.

    I would definitely talk to your provider about your fatigue. They should be able to better steer you in the right direction.

  • I'm a sucker for the Han-Tyumi And The Murder Of The Universe story. Love this album!

  • +1 for Pine Note!

  • What a clever idea! Is the dirty water drained from the bottom of the bowl or is it pumped out?

  • Logseq might be a good option for you. You create "graphs" for a topic. Markdown notes for that "graph" are separated into "pages" and "journals." For example, if you created a project called "cider_making", you could create the following Markdown page files and save them in the pages directory: "Fuji Apple.md", "cider press.md", and "pectic enzyme.md." If prefer to track notes in a journal format, your Markdown file would use the following format and be saved in the journal directory: "2026-02-19.md."

    Logseq is not cloud based. All files are stored locally to the machine you installed the software on. There are options to use a code repository to sync to other devices, but Syncthing can also be used to sync your notes. I'm using an rsync script to send notes I write on my laptop to my phone, living room computer, and file server. If I'm on a trusted computer on my network, I can use SSH X11forwarding to open the Logseq UI remotely to create new notes. Otherwise I can create a new page or journal Markdown file via SSH and vi. I'd just need to save the Markdown file in the appropriate journal or page directory to keep things organized. You can also host a webUI for your notes if you are so inclined.

    Best of luck!

  • Something like this might work better on an iPhone or non-Pixel Android device. I own a Pixel 6 Pro that supports the Qi2 charging protocol, but it didn't work properly from my personal experience. It would charge very slowly (well below the speed of other Qi2 capable phones). If I happened to be streaming audio or watching a video while charging, the battery would continue to drain even though it was receiving power, and it would eventually start heating up.

  • I'm into it. Would make a great work device. The power keyboard product also looks like an interesting product.

  • Soft Scrub with Bleach works well. Clean the sink with dish soap the best you can. Once it is clean, apply Soft Scrub with Bleach with a sponge and allow it to whiten for a couple of minutes before rinsing it off. I do this about once a month or whenever it starts to look scummy again.

  • If you have an REI near you it might be worth trying them on. Per their sizing chart page:

    Sizing

    We recommend ordering Altra running shoes ½ size larger than a dress shoe. We want you to have the best fit possible. That’s why we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. So if the fit isn’t just right, you can send it back for a different size. The Lone Peak, Torin, and Paradigm models are available in Wide, a 2E width (compared to our traditional D width).

  • Check out Altra. I have been buying them for about 5 years now. Very comfortable for wider feet and are built well. I own their running shoes, hiking boots, and trail running shoes. They are sold at REI, but you can also buy them online. Highly recommended!

  • I noticed the same bad search issue a few weeks ago. I tried several other instances from searx.space and they all gave bad results. I reverted to DDG. I'll have to give 4get a shot.

  • I was weirded out by the disappearing finger as well. There was a recent article in The Atlantic that mentioned Google had been testing AI to improve video clarity. It's possible we are seeing a combination of that and motion interpolation artifacts like what was mentioned here. I used yt-dlp commands to download both the CNN video and the video from the white house channel. They both look less weird on a larger screen. That process was called out here.

  • Here's a link to Darling Nikki's backwards masking message:

    TIL Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO inserted "We smell sausage" backwards into many of his projects

  • I really like my Framework 16 laptop. I've been using it for about a year now. The modular ports and easily upgradeable design were a major selling point for me. Video workflows work well via Kdenlive and ffmpeg, but you can also install Davinci Resolve with some additional configuration. I purchased the GPU upgrade (https://frame.work/products/16-graphics-module-amd-radeon-rx-7700s) and a handful of different port modules. My only dislikes are that it can get really hot from time to time and the GPU fans are pretty loud when they kick on. A coworker of mine has a Framework 13 laptop and seemed very satisfied with it. Best of luck in your search!
