“Does it piss you off when Google/whatever does [blank]? Yeah, me too. So I run my own versions to not have to deal with that crap. Would you like me to set you up an account on my stuff?”

Because the law is optional in Texas.

I’m guessing the entire point is to goad someone into suing so it makes its way to SCOTUS and becomes optional or worse nationwide.

It was, yeah. But they somehow got her to come back for a cameo in Season 8 where she played Constance again.

I legit enjoyed the first two seasons of AHS and then whatever season “Cult” was, but otherwise it’s become something of a guilty pleasure.

Genuinely cannot believe Lange is coming back. From what I remember reading, she was done with it and it took a lot of cajoling to get her to even cameo in season 8.

The baguette cushioned his fall and the striped shirt scared away any predators. The beret was just a beret, though. Even if you’ve fallen down a 130ft ravine that’s no excuse to look dowdy.

(None of this is true…probably)

My X1 Carbon does now. But it used to drain to empty after a day or two even if it was turned all the way off. Drove me crazy.

The problem ended up being the always-on USB setting in the BIOS. For some reason, even with nothing connected, that would drain the battery until it was completely flat. Once I turned that off, it’ll sleep for weeks like you said.

OP, maybe check the BIOS settings for “Always on USB” or similar and disable that?

Not that I’d own a smart fridge, but if I did and they started shoving ads on it, it’d look like this later that day:

That was my nickname in college.

I think the point of 11h is to achieve that kind of range without directional antennas. Basically as a higher-bandwidth version of LoRa.

Yeah, that one took me a minute. I think “drip” or “slow drip”? I know “drip” used to be a term but was never one I associated with “screwball” or “crackpot”. Usually I’d heard “drip” to mean something closer to “dull” or “boring”.

They do, and I tried it, but it keeps crashing after completing a request (even a simple GET). Could just be that it doesn’t like the Orange Pi it’s running on, but other extensions work fine. I’ll try it in VSCodium later.

Pretty decent unless there’s a lot of animation / video in them. Calling, texting, looking up something on the internet, bank app, auth app, etc all work great. Some of the stock Android components don’t work super great with it, though, like the quick action buttons (though, arguably, they don’t work great on any Android phone either lol).

Feels sluggish at times but that’s just the e-ink being what it is. I mostly treat it like a dumb phone that’s also an e-reader.

I’ve always joked that coding as a hobby is just digital knitting lol.

I’ve gradually weaned off of smartphones over the last 18 months. Currently daily-driving the Minimal Phone and loving its distraction-free (or at least distraction-lite) ways.

I may not be analog like the article is highlighting, but I have basically eliminated the doom scrolling and have reignited my passion for reading (the one “distraction” the Minimal Phone does well is being an e-reader since it’s got an e-ink screen).

Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025

I’m just going to ignore the irony of that 😆

I’m sure we’re past that now and firmly in the “you’re just gonna have to deal with it” phase.

Thanks. Now I’m gonna start calling AI news summaries “tAIbloids” and make fun of the people who use them. 😆

Literally that.

I loved AoS even when it started to get weird after season 5 or so. Should re-watch that soon-ish.
