  • Better not miss it [the oatmeal]
  • Rochester, NY checking in. Couldn't see the total solar eclipse due to clouds.

  • Using StartAllBack? No Windows updates for you, says Microsoft
  • I tried the Official Windows 11 start menu. I had disabled showing "recommended apps" in the settings. This hid the icons, but not the section. So, whenever I opened the start menu, the entire bottom half was a section that said "enable recommended apps to show them here."

    That's when I installed Start11 (I also bought StartAllBack, but I preferred Start11) and never looked back.

  • Trump Dehumanizes Migrants By Referring To Them As Dons And Erics
  • Good thing I saw this was The Onion. I was having a hard time believing that Trump knows/remembers he has a son named Eric.

  • As someone not in tech, I have no idea how to refer to my tech friends' jobs
  • Code money get up get coffee, code monkey go to job.

  • The Pact
  • Believe in yourself. Not in the you who believes in me. Not the me who believes in you. Believe in the you who believes in yourself.

  • Fairly Oddparents Gets a Sequel Series With Original Cosmo and Wanda Voice Actors Returning

  • Some Democrats Want To Help Nikki Haley As A Way To Mess With Trump
  • You said you didn't get it, I explained.

    Nikki is not short for Nimarata, Nikki is actually her middle name (which is not her first name, like I said). I assume she goes by her middle name so people don't know she's of Indian descent.

    Joe is short for Joseph.

  • Some Democrats Want To Help Nikki Haley As A Way To Mess With Trump
  • That's her real name, "Nikki" isn't actually her first name.

  • Fossil is quitting smartwatches
  • Yes, there are a few ways to do it. You need to have logged into the Fossil app with an email/password, it didn't seem to work with "login with Google."

    I used a python script that I ran on my computer that got the private key from the Fossil servers.

    NOTE: You need to add the private key before pairing with GadgetBridge, if you add it after then it won't work.

  • Fossil is quitting smartwatches
  • I recently switched to using GadgetBridge with my Fossil Hybrid. It was a little annoying to set up, but it works.

  • Fossil is quitting smartwatches
  • I had an LG smartwatch that was rectangular.

  • Fossil is quitting smartwatches
  • I had a Fossil Wear OS smartwatch, I liked it but I barely used any of its features. Basically, I'd use it to notify me of messages and then I could see whether or not to pick up my phone.

    I sold it and bought a Fossil hybrid (Collider HR) and I love that thing. The battery lasts about 2 weeks and people always think it's so cool that it has physical hands.

    It shows me whenever I get a message or calendar notification (or whatever notifications I want) and that's all I care about.

    I haven't looked at the newer generation of watches, but I don't think I'd upgrade or anything.

    I also have other Fossil stuff, like belts. They make cool stuff, but they've always been a fashion brand first before a tech brand.

    If they stop making smartwatches, are there any other brands that make good hybrid, eink watches?

    Also, the article just mentioned they'd stop making Wear OS devices so maybe they'll still make the hybrid watches?

  • Quarter was rejected at the laundrymat. Someone slipped me a token for a lazer tag franchise that went bankrupt in 1997
  • I used to go to Q-ZAR all the time as a kid! Loved that place, I think I once had a birthday party there.
