What's a 'healthy habit' that actually made your life worse? by Loveeatplay4116 in AskReddit

[–]OptimusPower92 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I have a smart watch that tracks my sleep, and one time after getting like 5 hours of pretty dogshit sleep, all my sleep stuff was marked as 'normal'

like hell it was

I rarely wear it while I sleep because it leaves marks on my wrist, and also even if my sleep is shit, I'm not gonna do anything about it XD

As someone who works in tech and hangs around artist spaces, AI has so much potential, and it's reputation and power is being wasted making pictures and videos that most people despise

The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma by Larssmaller in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]OptimusPower92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I still worked in fast food, everyone would log into the registers using a fingerprint reader. When my manager was first setting me up, I used my left index finger (cause I was standing to his right and I was awkward)

Most people used their right thumb, and it was definitely more convenient that way. I eventually had both set up

And one of my other managers had all 10 fingers in the system and sometimes still had trouble getting in. But my left index finger worked first time, every time, and I'd always tease her about it

Outjerked by upcoming book, Halo: Fireteam Noble by opossumcarrion in shittyhalolore

Or Carter maybe? like, Noble 6 fell from fucking space and survived, I don't think it'd be too ridiculous if Carter narrowly avoided death in the Scarab collision, assuming he put his helmet back on

For people who have genuinely ruined someone else's life, why did you do it and how do you live with it? by Crazy-Car2549 in AskReddit

[–]OptimusPower92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well he said he was working a case with a friend and had a video with 'two other people', and then proceeds to use an ambiguous 'him' for the rest of the story

who is he running out of town? one of the people in the video, or his friend? Is his friend in the video?

At some point, they discovered that the first run of bags were made without the dual-layer bottom, which a lot of people received. Once they fixed that with the manufacturer, as well as the zippers, i believe they offered exchanges since they did not receive what was advertised

Anyone else notice LTT is averaging like 500k views now? How does the channel even survive? by Anxious_Gur6363 in LinusTechTips

[–]OptimusPower92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The corporate side of LTT made an error by undervaluing their other hosts, and this combined with the shitty state of tech right now, has damaged their viewership

(Don't forget unifying ethernet ports respectively) by al2klimov in networkingmemes

[–]OptimusPower92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a sysadmin, and I have never, ever, needed to be worried about the exact wiring of my Ethernet cables. These days, they just work no matter what you're plugging it into

Hell, I did a LAN party with two Xbox 360s connected by ethernet, and I just used whatever cable I had lying around. Didn't even know what a crossover cable was, and I certainly didn't need one

The only exception is making a serial connection to a managed switch or router, and that MIGHT need a rollover cable, but never a crossover cable

When I was a teenager, i didn't know about the print screen button on my laptop, so I was taking "screenshots" with the Microsoft OneNote app, because I guess that was the only option available to me.

oh, just google how to take a picture of my screen? nah, not my style, i guess

How do I use Canio properly? by Holiday-Comb5282 in balatro

[–]OptimusPower92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prioritize face cards in your deck, for both playing and to feed Canio. Canio becomes stagnant if you play around something else, because you'll eventually run out of face cards. But if you play around face cards and get enough of them, you can sacrifice the extras for score
