i hate having to be responsible. i don't have space for more roombas...but oh man it's only $119...
What's the reason why MacBook MagSafe / MagSafe 3 chargers *almost* don't exist in sizes other than 6.6 ft? I'd get if only Apple's 2m existed. I'd get if zero 3m cables existed. But it's like exactly one 3m cable exists. Why? It's not even like the connector hasn't been reverse engineered.
Sadly, I have to become an Obs*dian, N*tion, or similar person: my Apple Notes DB is so large that I now run into memory limits. I need: 1. E2E-encrypted or iCloud sync 2. Good app 3. Large DB support 4. Image thumbnails in the notes list, like Apple Notes (see attached pic) Suggestions?
fun creative thinking exercise: try to search up what hardware events, if any, might come after wwdc
Unrelated but while looking up an example, I came across this airbnb with a pull-out dining table. I am yearning so hard. God I wish I could rent a space-efficient apartment
At one point I tried getting data on appliances used in different countries, and I fell in love w/Japanese & Korean kitchenettes. This entire kitchenette fits in the space occupied by a single American refrigerator. If the counter were higher up, you could upgrade to a mini fridge+freezer combo.

You'd think this is a lie or a really clever jailbreak, but this is the tutorial that I am watching (in real time) some dudes on Telegram use to claim accounts worth >$10K, by the dozens Low odds of success, but you can just keep trying. This hasn't been patched despite being abused for days now.
There's an extremely funny ongoing Instagram crisis involving the support bot, which is now powered by the latest Meta AI. It's very eager to help, and so you can just ask it to e.g. hand over Barack Obama's old Instagram account, and it will.
Apparently, a reporter at a major consumer product testing website messaged me on reddit to say that their sources agreed with my post. I completely missed my chance to be interviewed, though. This was sent 2 months ago :(
Your very first response to me was you arguing against consumer sentiment targeting "economic policy," a policy prescription that nobody in this discussion was advocating for.
