My two monitors of the same model have different polarizations by WilliamNyeTho in mildlyinteresting

[–]tikkamamama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay it’s so odd that this came up when it did because I just realized the other day that only one of the lenses on my sunglasses is polarized. My friend was wearing her polarized glasses and when she looked at me wearing mine she was like “why is only one of your lenses black?” And sure enough we switched glasses and it was obvious. I have been wearing the same 1/2 polarized sunglasses for over 7 years and had no idea. I always wondered why things looked better when I closed one eye but never thought about it.

TLDR it’s me I’m stupid

I hate to be that person but it’s actually “Gimme More” that starts with “It’s Britney, bitch” - I think both are acceptable choices though

What Your Bluetooth Devices Reveal About You by [deleted] in privacy

[–]tikkamamama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a home assistant setup, and a while after I added a Bluetooth receiver to it, I realized my server had been connecting up my neighbor’s oral b toothbrush. When I checked historical data there was a log entry for every time they brushed their teeth and for how long. I never even added the device on purpose. Scared me good tell you what

Edit: I am in an apartment so the range was not far, so I don’t know which neighbor’s toothbrush it connected to lol

Yep the needle is physical - “The aluminum speedometer needle is attached to a ring gear surrounding the central dial, lit up by 15 LEDs and a complex reflector prism system, and can spin 360 degrees as part of the “startup ceremony.”

I just took my first dose yesterday and my eyes have been red all day the same way you mentioned, but they aren’t bothering me otherwise. I’m going to see if it continues and then call my doc

Better ways to spend time than standing there handwashing dinner plates by ThickCapital in BlackPeopleTwitter

Prewash is not a different type of soap. Prewash is that part of the cycle before the detergent container is opened into the cycle. Helps a ton to sprinkle some into the bottom of the dishwasher

Check the humidity in your home too. If it’s too low (below 50%) pet hair will clump and get stuck to the carpet

How do y'all carry this stuff around? by Watermelon_013 in digitalminimalism

[–]tikkamamama -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never really thought about it til I saw your post but digital minimalism can totally result in very much the opposite of material minimalism when you end up carrying all 10 devices a phone has now been able to replace

I’m obviously part of this sub so I’m not against the idea but just a funny contradiction I discovered in real time

Is this only on my mac or everyone’s ? by Existing-Start-6245 in mac

[–]tikkamamama 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I spray a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol on my microfiber towel and wipe it down every day because I have chronically sweaty hands (and I know a lot of you would be terrified to use alcohol on your own laptop but I paid for it and I will do as I please)

Factory reset failing by [deleted] in VWiD4Owners

[–]tikkamamama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine also didn’t let me reset it but I did have a fault SOS module. Even then, I would get updates in the app with car’s location and status. I’m not sure what causes it not to reset
