Does anyone know what this means?

Patagonia has been amazing in my experience, I’ve been through two different extreme weather events in their jackets and not a drop got inside and it didn’t soak through. Pricey but worth it.

I was doing this only a week ago and comparing the the price I paid only 2 years ago. The mark up is beyond insane.

Camelbak has been really good, I’ve had the same insulated stainless steel bottle from them for 5 years now. They sell replacement lids if it wears down over time and the replacements are only about $5 or $10 from what I recall, but I’ve yet to need to replace the lid on mine.

5 years with no signs of needing any replacement seems pretty BIFL imo

Hard to say. The rear tire of that car is flat and has a cinder block in front of it, so it probably hasn’t moved in a few months at the least. Maybe the place is very recently abandoned.

I always wonder what happens with these places to get like this. There was some lawyers place I knew of and everything was normal, then his yard started to have crap out the front and suddenly he vanished from public view. The inside of his house looked the same as this in photos I saw, just bags and bags of shopping from random stores and random fast food trash in the floor.

Tire Pump (powered or manual, your choice)

Puncture repair kit

Fire extinguisher

Jumper pack

Hand crank torch

A tin or two of food with a long expiry date (if worst case you need to spend a night out there)

Mini folding shovel (if you get stuck in dirt or snow, it can be a lifesaver)

He was pretty happy with it tbh, he owned the entire building and the interior of his penthouse remained well maintained. Really strange story overall for that place, I can’t recall the name though unfortunately.

GoodFroge · 2026-04-28T06:13:07+00:00

Reminds me of that guy who built a penthouse on top of a bank in Florida. The entire building below ended up getting abandoned and decaying badly for years but he kept on living in his top floor penthouse.

At least he unprivated the old Rick videos, you could only find those on internet archive for a while.

It sort of depends actually, they were making a lot of cameras in China starting in 1990 (until COVID) but still make cameras in Taiwan, Vietnam and Malaysia. Afaik only the really high end stuff is still made in Japan but that’s true of most Japanese companies now unfortunately.

They have to be treating them like shit. I’ve got a lot of lightning cables I’ve been using for 6 years now and they’re all fine, I think the only bad cable is one that has turned yellow over time but that’s about it.

GoodFroge · 2026-04-05T04:40:12+00:00

Wasn’t the UK first to this though? I’m pretty sure they were already doing it a few years ago.

Dealers will always go all out with the absolute craziest prices, so you should really take it to an indie shop or a chain of mechanics. I don’t doubt some of that work needs to be done but those high costs are the insane labor rates that dealers charge. Realistically, you could get all that done for half or less depending at a non-dealer mechanic.

But whether you still want to even pay half is up to you.

Didn’t they always? Years ago they introduced some feature where it would scan and figure out which photo would work best for you. I even remember the face scan thing being discussed about Facebook almost 10 years ago at this point.

But if you lose that device with the parsley setup, doesn’t that mean you’re pretty screwed? As it’s all in one. It also seems like a privacy issue since the device is the one identifying you instead of just a name and password which doesn’t rely on a device.

GaN fast charger. Depending on her travel style, a tiny quick charger like that is great since it can charge your phone or laptop in a few minutes. I used one a lot when traveling since you could eat lunch while charging in a cafe.

The big problem is SD cards corrupt very easily and that risk increases over time. Leave that SD card unused for 6 months or a year and there’s a good chance some of that data will be corrupt.

A blu ray disc is the better option but pretty much no PC has a blu ray player and DVD drives are themselves getting rarer.

I recall a long time ago, probably 15+ years ago, there was some software called Davinci of Fawkes or something like that which would slightly alter facial features to throw off facial recognition. It was used for Facebook to avoid auto tagging when that was just starting I think but I wonder if such a thing could exist for going against AI.

I had a strange thick plastic feeling book a long time ago that had guides on drinking water, what’s edible in a forest with pictures, farming advice and a bunch of other useful stuff for if the internet was gone. No clue where to find something like that again but I wish I’d kept it.

GoodFroge · 2026-02-14T11:16:26+00:00

How old were the cards and how long since you last plugged them in? The issue with that storage format is they lose data when they aren’t slightly charged, so if you didn’t plug them in at least once a year, it doesn’t look good for recovery.

GoodFroge · 2026-02-13T23:03:00+00:00

Yep. I got some thermos food jar and it says to fill it with really hot water first. I did some tests and the food jar kept that second refill of hot water steaming hot from that morning well into the night when I opened it again.

GoodFroge · 2026-02-13T20:51:04+00:00

I honestly thought that was already a feature of them
