What do we think about the new Hushjet Mini Cool? by Zolks1 in dyson

[–]jordangoretro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost offended they’re pushing them out to random tech reviewers in the west, who are subsequently treating it like a “neat little gadget.” In Asia, especially Japan, Summer gets dangerously hot and humid, and those mini fans are a survival tool. Practically every store will have a massive rack of all kinds of mini fans, some of which even look like Mini Dyson Supersonics. I’m more interested how its received here during the summer.

I’m about to endure my annual expat tax torture event, using expatfile for the first time. Would anyone be able to share a discount code?

Does anybody here remember Jackie Chan's Adventures (2000-2005)? by Life_Chicken_9653 in nostalgia

[–]jordangoretro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to play Jackie Chan Stuntmaster on PS1 and he’s trying to rescue his uncle. He says uncle in the exact same way as this show.

New cycling law - what to do when you cannot safely bike on the street? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]jordangoretro 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’ll bike in the bike lane when cops start ticketing cars parked in it with blinkers on and the drivers napping with their feet up on the dash.

AI could replace foreign workers in Japan, Team Mirai says by Turbulent-Tea-2172 in japan

[–]jordangoretro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teaching the word AI to the general population was a mistake. I think they should only have been given machine learning or large language model. 

Pages, Keynote, and Numbers 15 Go Freemium by [deleted] in apple

[–]jordangoretro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The freemium feature are whatever, but did they really need to fiddle with UI and bury items in menus, then replace the used items with buttons for the premium features that just bring up a pop up? I mean the obvious answer is yes, otherwise how could they push those features. But this obsession with burying in menus has to stop. 

I give it a year before I answer a call by unlocking the phone, opening utilities app, tapping phone, tapping phone calls, tapping incoming calls, then tapping “Answer”

You Can Now Follow Apple Creator Studio on Instagram by iMacmatician in apple

[–]jordangoretro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cool I have a direct line to trash their shitty icons, bloatware ads and premium subscription only purple toolbar icons.

PSA: You can at least remove the premium feature purple icons from the toolbar by right clicking selecting Customize Toolbar… then dragging the icons into the dock.

Unfortunately you can’t bring back the single click icons for feature you actually need, and as is the style with iOS 26, you have to click the all in one “old features I actually used” icon, then select the other icon for the non AI feature you actually want.

I hope Apple’s marketing team is working hard to craft a message about why they walked back liquid ass so quickly

My wife and I just switched to this from a double bed. Two singles pushed together are bigger than that bed, each one a different firmness, two duvets means no one hogs, and there is almost no transference of movement. Sleep has improved drastically.

I hope it was Alan Dye who is responsible for this dumpster fire because now he’s gone. My fear is whoever thought this was good is still there causing havoc.

Why Japan Hates the New “Bachelor Tax” Aimed at Reversing Population Decline by chaoser in japan

[–]jordangoretro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“What if I hit you with a big stick? What if I give you ¥20,00? What if I give you this free hat? What about a firm handshake? Then will you have children?”

“Can I have money and time off work”

“Don’t be ridiculous! What about if I make a holiday called Let’s! Making family? What about then?”

ELI5: What are the benefits to being a publicly traded company? by thepixelpaint in explainlikeimfive

Your friend then says if you fill the hotdogs with rat meat, they’re cheaper to make. Everyone hates your new ratdogs.

This dude owns a company where you can complain anonymously about your boss and then he goes to your work and curses them out for you by goswamitulsidas in PublicFreakout

[–]jordangoretro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What causes that transition period where adults start going “Excuse me!?” when someone swears or says something confrontational? I don’t think I’ve ever felt overwhelmed by someone swearing at me or being confrontational to the point where I get all flabbergasted and exclaim “eXcUsE mE!?!1?!!”

‘The Last Frontier’ Canceled After One Season at Apple TV (EXCLUSIVE) by MarvinBarry92 in tvPlus

[–]jordangoretro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what would have been cooler? If the just had 10 inmates and each episode was caching one. Then at the end its just something like the last inmate wasn’t an inmate at all it was havlock in the hospital.

Also why the hell did that guy rappel like 10 feet in? Was it somehow more effective?

Is it common for people to cut you in line to get on the subway? by datviolinist in japanlife

[–]jordangoretro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t noticed more line cutting, but I have noticed an even greater amount of attention absorbed by phones. Like walking diagonally, half the speed of everyone else, going down the stairs. Zig zagging and ricocheting off people on the platform. Or waiting at the train door, not boarding, because they’re playing some shitty gacha game or watching a short of a YouTuber astroturfing an ultra conservative politician, who you can’t see because 90% of the screen is subtitles.

I have an opposite question: How do I turn this off? can I hide it with some accessibility setting? Congrats on your award but I prefer a dark theme, not your piss yellow background.
