Also. That first wipe can be quite a thing. You can always start with the bulk wipe. But you’ve never been cleaner than with a bidet.

Asian people have culture shock, when they move to Australia, due to no bidet, and having to smudge poop with paper.

I want one that has the sort of vibration pulse wash. It cleans you. Very well

Yup. I’m going to get the full warm water, bells and whistles version.

This guy does the best videos. Really love his channel

Unreasonable is any rate of acceleration that other cars can’t safely navigate around and amongst.

I’d have taken it back, done and dusted. Make them feel the pain.

It should be, if not. Pedestrians need to cross roads. Other cars need to enter roads, change lanes, etc. Cars accelerating at unreasonable rates will cause an accident.

I use Autokey to automate many, many small things. I have abbreviations I type for words, and phrases and it replaces them for me.

Going further I use talon voice for voice control of the system.

I say things like “check work email” or “search duck” etc, and it does as it’s meant to. Took a while to get setup, and comfortable. But now done I am so much faster talking, rather than typing.

In one voice command for example, talon goes to my browser, selects the appropriate tab, finds the search input, enters a search phrase, including using clipboard contents, and then, selects the result, so it can load.

In terms of keys it’s maybe (rough count) 21 keystrokes. All one in one voice command. Game changer.

However, talon voice is NOT open source, and I don’t love that. As the community put in huge amounts of time and resources to extend it. Which is risky, as enshitification can come on projects like this. For now, things are good.

Play / Pause button is missing.

Sorry mate, the most I can give you is $20. Take it or leave it.

👍

I just typed “african mouse” into both bing, and ddg. I got EXACTLY the same results. Which I kind of expected . Same order, everything. However, my understanding is, that DDG obfuscates the user, and doesn’t track. This is my hope, and why I use it.

I kid you not.

J Borrows mechanical.

Brown switches. Backlit. With proper transparent keys. Soft grippy risers. Beautiful form factor. Feels amazing.

They killed it. I’m super impressed.

I have yes. And I’d forgotten. Thank you. Adds an extra layer.

That’ll do Donkey… That’ll do.

Edit. I mean it. That calming way shrek says it. The idea that enough has been done, and that everything is OK. That I’m ok. It’s a lovely, and powerful moment in the film that translates to so many day to day situations.

Don’t pay it. In Australia they’re trying, and I remind them they get paid well, get paid overtime, get paid a pension, and get paid more to take holidays. After being paid all that, why is the shitty machine prompting a tip?

Oh, hell no. We are absolutely tiny.

It’s very much a trust-based situation as we all work together and in a small team.

I would actually love to know how to handle remote shutdown of PCs and lock out and things like that, for as we do grow, we are getting busier, and starting to expand.

I have to say if I was one of the Pacific nations and I had to choose between China and Trump Gaza, I’d be looking quite seriously at China.

Our work is the opposite. As soon as a new machine arrives we go straight to BIOS at boot, switch the settings and install Linux immediately. Windows never sees the light of day. I do feel for you as we do do sales calls and in the middle of sales calls the people that we are calling have their computers reboot on them, do an update, or I’ve just got to restart and on restart it does an update and huge amounts of time are wasted on those people.

Windows probably costs the world millions a day in wasted, for time for shit like that.

Mystery solved. Thank you

TIL!
