crumbcake

My stupid headphones will auto shut off while I'm wearing them but will also stay powered up all night even when not connected to any devices.

A Zebra barcode scanner laying atop a sheet of paper with a picture of crumb surrounded by oddly tall barcodes printed on it.

A low-resolution black and white copy of the same picture of crumb from the previous image that has been captured by the barcode scanner.

Help! I've been turned into a scannable 2D barcode!

I've been seeing some drama online over The Home Depot pricing items down to $0.01 to indicate that they should be pulled from shelves then customers trying to buy them and getting into fights with the cashiers over it.

Maybe they should just change the price to $999.99.

I really want to like rust but I keep running into very silly issues that are not trivial to fix

If I don't shut it off before I go to bed it will probably still be on in the morning with ~10% battery remaining.

But other times it will shut off while I am actively using it.

I hope that whatever Bose engineer wrote the auto-shutoff code for my headphones a thousand years of daily toe stubbings.

@Endiverge This is why I have kept my art to the smaller towns in my region, there are not many griefers and people causing trouble are painted over fairly quickly.

I solve this problem by making my projects less robust than a toothpick so if they gain any popularity at all they violently implode, ensuring nobody is able to view un-moderated ugc

wplace is a perfect example of what happens when you build a user-content focused service without a solid moderation plan in place

If your scrum update takes more than 15 seconds you should be sprayed with very cold water as punishment

One time I had a shot of everclear 190 and it felt like I was in a USCSB video

I'd take a 5g edible but only if I got to be hooked up to a machine and a scientific paper was produced as a result of it

The US electrical codes need to be updated to prohibit giant wall warts. A single appliance should not block 3 outlets under any circumstances.

If AI was real technology Google's assistant wouldn't have just called the highway "I negative ninety three"

Fidelity Investments: If anyone asks for this code, STOP. It's a SCAM. Our reps will NEVER ask for it. Only enter it online. Code is: 552211

Just got mildly satisfying 2FA code

The gnome file explorer crashes so often when browsing remote filesystems it's starting to drive me insane

Before my leave runs out I want to do something silly like drive across the entire USA with absolutely no technology smarter than my car and a radio that can only do morse code

I need to build some kind of bubble for my bed so that I can keep cool at night without spending too much on the electric bill

The local deer have been setting the motion detector off almost every day, I'm gonna start cutting videos together of their shenaniganry and uploading it.

Copying some archival recordings from a NVR to my NAS over the internet, it's gonna be a few more days until this is complete

I wonder if it would be possible to make an engaging TV drama out of day to day work in a civil engineering office.

My headphones have this weird quirk where after playing the "Battery low - please charge now" sound it will send a media un-pause command to whatever device it's connected to, even if nothing was actively playing.

Finally got my NAS set up with NextCloud but there's just so many weird little bugs that are driving me to the brink of insanity.

It has been confirmed that my employer is placing me (and ~86% of my coworkers) on garden leave this Friday as part of a mass Layoff.

I am actually very excited to be released from that sinking ship, I feel bad for my coworkers who are being forced to stay behind. I know some of the senior […]

Spending 3x as long using my phone to turn the bedroom lights off instead of crawling over to the manual button on the wall because I spent all that time setting HomeAssistant up and I'm gonna use it damn it!

I think I genuinely need to build some kind of external radiator setup for my desktop PC, even with casual use it generates enough heat to noticeably increase the temperature of my room. If I could just dump that heat directly outside somehow I wouldn't have to run the AC all the time.

I am being forced to use Microsoft Office at work and it is a truly horrendous experience. I managed to completely break the formatting of a plain text document by doing absolutely nothing.

One line will be wrapped after a single word, while other lines will go to the edge of the page and then […]

Got my new NAS built, now I just have to get the drives for it and figure out what software I want to use.
