My favourite one so far is “Hoement”

“CTIRCHIU” sounds like an eldritch god

“Hoement” immediately stuck out to me and sounds like a portmanteau of “hoe” and “moment”

Sounds cool enough to be used as slang

Becase some devices require a signal on their comm pins to negotiate the correct voltage to charge the device.

Whats weird is that my usb c wall powered hub will charge devices on its own if I plug it into a computer (or sometimes an android phone) first and then unplug it and plug it into the device I want to charge

I hate Consoles because of multiplayer paywalls and lack of crossplay on other platforms as well as locked down software

I hate mobile games because most are but t extort the user of their money with pay to win and gambling and there is generally the hardware limitations of phones and sometimes software limitations or locked down software

PC Gaming is better because you can build a system that meets your needs, upgrade it and swap out hardware along with being able to install ant operating system you want or even dual boot more than one operating system

I do kind of also dislike gaming laptops because you can only upgrade the ram in them, if you want a gaming laptop go with a framework ganing laptop as they have swappable parts excluding the cpu because the cpu is still soldered on because of cpu manufacturers though you can swap the main board

Huh, I’ve never seen it

If you take data backup seriously you need an offsite backup

For people who rent and don’t have a space for a dishwasher or you don’t have one included

Desktop versions do exist but they are obviously smaller

Gaming PC’S are better than laptops in the long run if you don’t need constant portability since they are entirely upgradeable

Though if you need a laptop I’d recomend the framework laptop

How many times are you pressing the button

I press 3 times, holding each time until the water rises near the top then I stop and press again until it’s 3 times

Gets very bubbly without that unpleasant sharp taste you get from supermarket drinks

Though I’ve heard the drinkmate softdrink machines are better but they’re only avalible online and I’m not completely sure if the sodastream c02 cans are compatible or not

Get one of those rentable food safe C02 gas cans that you keep and you just pay for C02 refills and just mod your sodastream to accept it or get an adapter

When you no longer need the tank you just return it

Not sure if you can buy the tank instead of renting it

Way more economical than the sodastream two you buy at the shop

Though YMMV depending on your location

Though if your feeling fancy get one of the more expensive ones that you can install in your countertop

I wouldn’t trust a eufy product in my home after their security camera vulnerability controversy that they initially refused to fix

Desktop DAC & Bookshelf Speakers - Always find changing volume on OS itself to not be perfect as it too low or high for my liking. I can simply tweak the volume knob of my Desktop DAC to get the volume just right. Also great way to listen to music

If I’m understanding you correctly and you just got the DAC purely to be a volume know then I disagree with you because keyboards with volume knows exist.

Obligatory Jellyfin is better and free

You sound like you’d really benefit from “Home Assistant” if you’re not already using it and the addition of smart bulbs that can change colours to sync with circadian rhythm (and possibly smart switches)

Try getting a stool that raised your legs to the point where you are squatting or near squatting over the toilet

It relaxes the sphincter if I recall correctly

• Epson Ecotank Printer

Has ink tanks so money isn’t wasted on cartridges and the printer is actually initially expensive unlike those printers that make money back on ink catriges

• Hammer Drill with the proper bits

Makes it easier to mount shit to bricks, goes in brick like butter if you’re using the right drill and bits

I recomend Ryobi Hammer Drill & Bits

• Air Fryer

I’ve stopped using my oven and only use it rarely for things that I don’t want blown apart thst I can weigh down with a fork or spoon like Pizza for example

• Refillable Japanese brand pens and mechanical pencil

I recently got these to aid in Japanese study and refillable pens are more economical in the long run

And Japanese brands go hard on the quality of stationary and I got introduced into the cult of stationary obsession with this

I’ll edit my comment if I can think of anything else

I hate that writing this comment made me think of jar jar binks from star wars

Jargasm

Sockpuppet accounts selectively posting articles to sway a opinion about a country or person/s?

I’ve had a private message from a user who’s a starting with ‘v and ending with n’ and that’s all I say because if I say the full word I know some angry Internet people are going to show up

They responded with that passive aggressive question tone

I’ve also run into some lemmy users that spread misinformation about Japan to discredit it which reads like foreign actors intentionally spreading disinformation to discredit a country and its people, the sake kind of misinformation about Japan is much worser on reddit but its not a good thing that it has started to show up here
