  • Yeah, always gotta check price history. Especially on Aliexpress.

    Was looking at buying a particular retro game emulator handheld. Black friday pricing was the same as non-black-friday pricing, but it was "discounted" from $300, which it has never actually been sold at. Still bit the bullet and bought it because it did end up decently cheaper using one of their "spend $x and get $y off" coupons.

  • I've known plenty of girls that play pokemon TCG and MTG, yugioh not as popular in my area. They're just not as visible about it because guys get fucking weird about it.

    I'm thankful I had younger sisters so I (apart from a bit of the usual teenage awkwardness) didn't get creepy about the opposite sex.

  • I have one.

    I have only ever used the Samsung store to install a single official customisation app that I used once and never again.

    As far as I'm concerned it only exists to occasionally annoy me with notifications about apps with updates that I installed from other stores.

  • Most browsers have some sort of tab search function nowadays, changed my life.

    In Firefox you can search them with the bar (I think % first will make it search tabs?) And in Chromium-based ones I think you can hit Ctrl+Shift+a. I prefer the chromium approach as it also puts anything playing audio at the top of the list.

  • I run Linux on an old gaming PC that I use as a file server / jellyfin server / homeassistant / probably a bunch more I'm forgetting, and that one rarely goes above 50W, lol. Haven't tested it under full load, though.

  • Can't speak for the most modern ones which I know are worse, but I was pretty surprised when I recently got a smart plug with power monitoring recently to find that my system with a 3080 (though, undervolted slightly), 16-core cpu, way too many peripherals, eight various drives, several small screens and dual monitors, only pulls 600-650W under full load.

    I got the plugs to help me choose an appropriate UPS, and I don't need one as powerful as I'd thought I would.

  • When I was last in Japan, I basically lived out of konbinis. I mean, I also ate at restaurants all the time because it was so cheap compared to Australia, but for everything else, why bother cooking in my tiny-ass apartment when I can walk a few minutes and get a full, fresh meal AND some decent sake for less than a single dinner back home? They're fantastic. Plus they all had ATMs that could use to get more cash out.

    Also, when my flight home was delayed by a typhoon, I was able to eat full meals for a few days on just thirty bucks from the konbinis in the airport. No price gouging. Back home that would have gotten me a shitty sandwich at best.
