I know what you mean. My Linux machine breaks all the time but every time it’s my fault lol

I agree with everything except a wireless mouse. I have a magnetic usb “nub” that plugs into the mouse so when I need to charge it every couple of weeks it’s as simple as moving the mouse near enough the magnetic cable and it pops into place.

For me, the benefits of a wireless mouse far outweigh the imperceptible-to-me lag from the 2.4ghz dongle 10cm away in clear view. The only downside I can see is the weight of the battery, but I’m not a competitive FPS player so I’m good.

I wonder if HomeKit and HomeKit bridge would satisfy that itch.

I set it up so I can use Siri to open my garage door. Works great! You just need at least one HomeKit device like an Apple TV or a HomePod.

I’ve heard of people serious about coffee who use sugar. How much do you use? I’ve also seen people brew with sugar right in with the coffee grounds - do you do that or do you add it to your cup?

One of the hardest things to let go of when I gave up smoking pot was rolling joints. The ritual was so calming, and after several decades, a huge part of my life. But preparing a pour over coffee is so similar to that: wetting a paper, grinding, strong smells, heat. Not to mention the flavours of the different strains and the tinkering with the process to get the most out of your “stuff”. Only now I don’t bumble on like an idiot for 3 hours!

Nice. I quit smoking weed and reduced my alcohol intake to near zero a few years ago. To make up for all of the lost ritual, I dove deep into coffee brewing. It’s the only part of my day that I have complete control over and I love that.

I will try those beans! Thanks for the tip.

Not without DRM that I’m aware of.

Sure but you can liquidate cryptocurrency to pay your taxes using fiat.

I’m sorry but if you sneeze around me you’re gonna get a Gesundheit and a grin.

Yeah exactly. Like when Netflix increased their prices and prevented password sharing and everybody claimed that they would foothold business. Turns out that the profits lost on people who stopped using their services paled in comparison to the profits gained from the price hikes and new people signing up after being kicked off their old account.
