I’ve often referred to Trump as Stupid Caesar.

Like Caesar, Trump pushed up against established political norms and found very little pushback. As it turns out, having it be up for debate whether a leader is legally responsible for crimes committed is not a stable foundation for a nation.

The only difference is, Trump did not wait to build up his base not just in the electorate but also among other political figures before pushing as hard as he did. The whole drinking bleach and shining a light to cure Covid probably didn’t help.

Also I’m pretty certain Caesar wasn’t borderline illiterate. If we look up any of Caesar’s speeches recorded by even his most ardent opponents and compare them to Trump’s, there’s a bit of a difference there.

Anyway the point is, both of these men did nothing except expose the flaws in the system, and so long as we do nothing to fix said flaws, is there anything stopping a more competent modern-day Caesar from finishing what Trump started?

I would never trust a Razer product again, I’ve owned two of their Nagas and they both failed (double-clicking issue) within a year. Everyone in my WoW guild who have experience with MMO nice report the same problem with Razer mice.

I personally have the Scimitar, recently bought a new one as my old one from ~2019 (I think is when I bought it) had the inverse problem; holding right click to move camera would “drop” the hold randomly.

I own a lot of Corsair products and iCue is probably the least garbage peripheral software I’ve used over the years.

Ya like dags‽

The only problem with their SSH agent is, if you store let’s say 6 keys and the server is set to accept a maximum of 5 keys before booting you, and the correct key happens to be key number 6, you can end up being IP banned.

This happened to me on my own server :P

That being said, my experience was using the very first GA release of their SSH Agent, so it’s possible the problem has been sorted by now.

There’s just a teeny tiny problem with that; disabling web search renders Search unable to do maths.

It’s not an issue for me since I use PowerToys to get Spotlight-esque search in Windows, but it’s nevertheless hilarious.

macOS search is so much better than Windows search it’s not even remotely close.

Which is a really good thing, IMO.

I’m upgrading from a 12 to a 15 because of USB-C and the other improvements that have accumulated, and after that I’m leaving it alone for a long time.

If USB-C wasn’t there, I wouldn’t even bother as my 12 works perfectly fine, Safari feels snappy and this phone could last a good long while still.

My gf and I are going to be playing this on PS5, really looking forward to the console release :)

Imagine living somewhere where stuffed crust isn’t available. More cheese… yeesssss…

I wonder why I’m fat. Forever to remain a mystery.

This is how I feel about LTT too. There should never be one single location you go to for all your review needs - even if it had every single product in existence in for review.

I’ll look at LTT videos to see people doing dumb shit with tens of thousands of Britannian Monies worth of tech, sometimes there’s some genuinely good “hey, this exists” (see: PowerToys which gave me Spotlight on Windows), and sometimes it triggers a “hey I could use X, I’ll do my own research and collation of reviews”.

If they can get their Labs up and running and their tests being transparent enough that they can be peer reviewed, then Labs will be a tool in the toolbox, not the toolbox itself.

Fair, but Trump does have the Proud Boys… LARPing as an elite strike force is the same as battle-hardened legions, right?

Weird flex on a post about how some sponsors are actually helpful but okay.

Hashtag late but Firefox’s main downsides is that it’s tab flushing sucks compared to Edge, and there’s no native vertical tabs.

In Edge, if a tab is put to sleep, clicking it again does not require a full refresh. Why does it need to completely reload in Firefox?

I’m aware there’s extensions for tab groups and vertical tabs (I’m using Simple Tab Groups), but it should be a natively supported feature.

Add that to the fact that Firefox is now the web developer equivalent of IE6 circa 2010 - minuscule user base and requires weird hacks to get websites to look good on it - and you got a recipe for people not wanting to use it.

Also lying about being the privacy focused browser when it has a bunch of telemetry and a bundled sponsored extension I had to look up how to get rid of, that part sucks too.

It doesn’t save form inputs because when you click a suspended/unloaded tab, it reloads the whole page. Everything unsaved on that page is lost.

I really hope some day Firefox will work the way you say, though.

Pretty much what the other poster says, plus the fact that there are other improvements that weren’t big enough to upgrade before, but USB-C tipped the scales.

Yeah it was some years ago for me too but the anecdotes haven’t stopped coming from people I know, so I suspect build quality hasn’t improved that much.

Deal: Dental Floss Picks, Clean Dental Flossers Kit (2 Handles&180 Extra Strength Refills) https://amzn.eu/d/gCGoSKg

I swear by this thing, although mine is made by Jordan who appear to have discontinued it. This seems like a good replacement.

This is more environmentally friendly than the disposable ones that come with a toothpick, as you only need to dispose of the tiny horseshoe shape thing when the floss snaps.

Also, sometimes sponsors have genuinely good products.

Karl Jobst had a Geologie sponsor which helped my skin clear up a bit.

Recently LTT had a WickedCushions sponsor which I’m hoping will work better for my headphones than my Chinese knock-off ones. I want cloth padding, not leather padding, for my headset, and the ones I got don’t snap in place like the official ones. Hoping WickedCushions are better. They’re arriving today.

Lastly, some of the sponsor segues and spots themselves are just plain funny and add to the content. Karl Jobst with Raid Shadow Legends, Internet Comment Etiquette and Internet Historian with NordVPN, most of LTT’s sponsors, etc.
