livedeified, in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?
@livedeified@lemmy.world avatar

I remember playing Joust on the Atari 2600. We had a little black and white TV to play it on.

upt, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?

Hottest, in the early '90s I worked for a technical trade school as a lab instructor in Phoenix, AZ. My commute was by motorcycle from Tempe, AZ. In the heat of one summer it got to near 120F outside one day, and wearing motorcycle gear plus the heat from the motor made me feel like I was going to pass out from extreme heat exhaustion (but luckily, I didn’t).

FREEZX, in Rule

There is a community called 196, their only rule is to post something before leaving.

kei, in Breakfast suggestions?

I’ve been enjoying overnight oats over the last few months. It’s super easy to make and you can meal prep it the night before.

I usually make it with oat milk, honey, and peanut butter topped with granola for some extra texture.

I’ve been eating this as breakfast as well for probably over a year now. Can’t say that I’ve been enjoying them because the taste is pretty bland, but they sure are healthy and help a lot with digestion.

I make them super bland though, just rolled oats with double their weight in milk.
Before I added some maple syrup to give it some flavour, but then I tried to reduce calories in my meals and this kind of stuck.

kei,

I think the neat thing is that you can make it how you want. Fruits, honey, and other standard oatmeal toppings can make it quite enjoyable.

TanknSpank, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I only upgrade every 3-4 years, but there's a lot of subtle differences that make it worth it. For example my current phone is far more reliable with Bluetooth connections than the previous one. It's got a better camera with AI photo touching. It's waterproof. Its fingering sensor is more sensitive and quicker.

unplug, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I’ve been getting a new phone every 4 years, but it isn’t hard to answer your question tbh. New products feel amazing. Companies invest millions if not billions of dollars in marketing to make you crave the newest device, even if yours is quite decent. I think that’s also the reason Apple pays so much attention to the packaging and their setup wizards so that getting a new product is an almost magical experience you want to relive. Ask any person with a shopping addiction, they’ll explain to you the rush of a new product like no one else.

Rolder, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I try to milk my phones as long as possible. But that’s mostly because I’m lazy and moving all the 2FA and getting things set up how I like and whatnot is a ball ache.

SecretPancake, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I used to get a new one every two years. Back then the changes were big enough to make it worthwhile. Nowadays there is not much to get from a new phone other than the hardware keeping up with the software and an improved camera.

I’d say, as with any device, keep it until it annoys you or doesn’t get any more security updates.

My iPhone 11 from 2019 starts to feel laggy and the touch screen is not responding as well anymore. Battery health is still over 90% but due to higher energy demand of the newer OSs and apps I often still need to juice up during the day. So this year I’m finally going to get the new model but I’ll keep the 11 as a webcam.

southsamurai, in Assuming a lemmy bot building and hosting website existed soon. What features would you like to see?
@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

A “similar community” bot to help discovery.

When someone links to a community, it offers other communities with the same name on other instances.

But it would be less useful until we get multiC/s or something like that

fruitywelsh,

Multi community bot is actually what I want to see, but even with multic/s I think similar community not would be useful (not every community really needs to merged together).

rambos, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

Only real solution is anti musquito net on windows, unless you are willing to move to island or antarctic

Lun0tic, in Liftoff. Lemmy app. Do you like the way it works now?

This is awesome work. I wish posts had a thumbnail on the left or right to give you a snippet of the topic similar to the RIF app. I’d not then it mainly feels like a lot of words and read which is not horrible but the experience is slightly lessened and cluttered.

unknowing8343, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

We are looking for content at !FuckMosquitoes

interdimensionalmeme,

That link wants to open in emails

unknowing8343,

The standardization has not gotten yet to your frontend, it seems.

livestreamedcollapse, in e-reader or tablet for reading academic paper

Building on this, does anyone use tablets to keep a digital laboratory notebook? I’m picturing keeping one in a capacitive, clear envelope that you could sterilize by spraying with 70% ethanol if necessary, yet still permit you to write with a stylus while wearing dirty gloves

benjacoblee, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

I enjoy it when I’m eating at a modest surplus - it’s trash on a deficit

just_another_person, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

To keep our corporate overlords in their elegant fineries. DUH-HOY
