If you often post links to music then Songwhip is invaluable. Give it a song and it generates a page with links to many common streaming services.

Here’s an example.

AnonStoleMyPants, in What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?

Smart lights to wake you up in the morning. Vastly prefer it to a normal alarm clock.

WhiteHawk,

A sunrise alarm clock will do the trick, too

AnonStoleMyPants,

I had one before but the light was so weak and if you were sleeping on the side with the back of your head towards it, it did nothing. Though to be fair I do have a smart light in my nightstand lamp to do the same, but it is more like extra.

WhiteHawk,

There’s better and worse ones, obviously. Mine is so bright it lights up the entire room by itself.

This doesn’t work for everyone obviously, but I leave my blinds open at night so that the sun will wake me up. Works for me when I don’t have to be anywhere before noon.

itsprobablyfine,

Yeah the further north you get the less this works on both sides of the sleep unfortunately

Kase,

On a similar note, I have an alarm clock that has a thing I can put under my pillow that vibrates to wake me up. (The box said it’s made for Deaf people, which makes sense lol). As someone who doesn’t wake up to ANYTHING, this works for me almost every time.

Is the vibrating of your phone not enough to wake you? I just use my phone as an alarm clock and keep it by my pillow. All my alarms are set to vibrate so it doesn’t wake my husband.

Kase,

The phone vibrating on the bed doesn’t wake me up, nor does the sound at full volume. And the alarm clock is super aggressive lol. It has 15 levels, and I turn it up all the way. The whole mattress be shaking

That is some super deep sleeping you got going on. 😅

jws_shadotak, in Whats the best Chromebook for the money?

A used one in your area, so long as it’s newer (2021+)

I would recommend using Linux on it instead of ChromeOS, if you’re a little more technically inclined. ChromeOS is fine but it limits you to just the Google ecosystem whereas Linux allows you to do things with it like a normal computer.

I took an old (2017?) model and put a super lightweight Linux distro on it and use it as a little administrator device. It’s got good battery and acceptable processor speed, but it’s severely limited by CPU cooling and storage.

jws_shadotak,

Oh hell yeah dude enjoy those lil work stations

NotLars, in Do you know of any obscure useful websites?

Noclip.website isn’t all that useful, but insanely cool. Allows you to fly around maps of n64, GameCube and Wii games in 3d, rendered in your browser

An ant colony, assuming they can be treated as a hive mind. Would be so interesting to find out how a being like that thinks.

cbarrick, in Whats the best Chromebook for the money?

The HP Elite Dragonfly is the best Chromebook currently.

But, as always, the “best for the money” is always relative. The Elite Dragonfly is the best, but the price reflects that.

JPJones, in What can we do, as lemmy users, to fight fake news being pushed in the platform?
@JPJones@lemmy.one avatar

Step 1: Don’t get your news from social media.

moitoi, in Is it actually possible to change your personality

Autistics deeply masking entered the chat.

AquaTofana, in What piece of song lyric you can really relate to?

Obligatory T-Swizzle lyrics incoming:

“It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me.”

I feel this whole song so fucking hard. But this line specifically because I form codependent relationships with people like crazy, and I always feel like a fuckin’ burden/like my friends or husband don’t truly like me. Like I’m stressing people out or putting too much pressure on them, so I’m not worth the effort of maintaining a relationship with.
