This has happened living in multiple places (in AU), we move lots. Yes I've had some nice people too, usually more curious chats about a stay-at-home dad being odd. I've run into other SAHD's and they've all shared simil

I'm a stay-at-home disabled dad to 2 kids (toddler + 2nd grade), and quite literally can't count the number of times over the last 8 years that I've had people at parks threaten to (or actually do) call the police on me, verb

Business info on Google has gotten so bad (at least where I live) that it's also all but useless, meaning the last reason I had to ever even open Google Maps is gone. I've been using Apple Maps every day for a couple years now and

We get a lot of Korean Netflix content in Australia and I’ve quite liked it. It’s something different we’d never get through our own TV networks or the mostly-US streaming networks we have access to.

I switched to Pop about a year ago and absolutely love it so far. It’s been one of the most flawless experiences I’ve had with a Linux distro (as a life long “user” but not very good at the fiddly stuff).

That was my first thought, the americanisation of global culture (especially online) already causes so many annoying issues. My kids get confused on how to spell things because everything online and in TV/movies is different to what we

We did the same thing using the character for a non-breaking space, I think it was ALT+0160. It would sort last in the list, and just be an effectively-invisible entry unless you were really paying attention. Combined with an exploit we had

ALL they had to do was continue with the original idea and not get greedy. I was a high(ish)-tier backer of the original, still got my 2 sitting in a drawer, and wore them until they wore out. I absolutely loved the idea of a MINIMAL e-pape

I get ketamine treatment for acute persistent pain (under our public health system) and it’s been pretty much life changing for me. It doesn’t remove the pain, but a week of treatment can give me 1-2 months of “relief” per year, and when yo

ReiTuned.com for an automotive tuner. GildFab.com for a family friends fabrication shop. Many more that I can’t share in public. I do about 1-2 per month for people, always .com’s or .net’s.

It’s just not that hard to come up with a unique name that still has an available .com, I do it regularly for clients and have done for 20 odd years. Yes it’s gotten harder, but it’s still absolutely possible. Even short (sub-10 char) prono

GoDaddy absolutely squats recent searches. So so many other registrars. It’s been like that for many years now and has been proven time and time again. The only registrar I trust currently is Namecheap. They’re not perfect but they don’t do

Bose changed (some of?) their home speakers to "require" you to use their app to set them up or use Spotify/etc, where you use to be able to just cast directly to them. It effectively turned smart speakers into dumb bluetooth

Thanks for that! I know what’s going on loop for the next few days (at least). Already had a fair few in my library but having the collection there as a playlist is awesome.

Yeah as alphager said, it’s a router by Ubiquiti that solved a lot of my networking issues. I wish I knew what exactly it was that made Remote Play work, but that was just one of the many things that didn’t work before then I realised later

I use Remote Play regularly (bed-bound lots due to medical issues) and never had a problem, but have found it’s finicky on your setup. Eg it never really worked on my ISP-provided modem/router but once I got a UDM (for unrelated reason
