I like the legacy plan I’m on. I don’t get netflix included - but I never use that anyway, and meanwhile I get more data for the same price.

Americans, why do all your comedy shows rag on Indian food?1·2 years agoSide one thinks Ketchup is spicy enough. The other side laughs at them, but they don’t understand how much spices hurt side one. This is genetic as far as I can tell - it isn’t just you get used to spices if fed them as a kid which side two seems to think.

@sheeEttin got it. The point is you turn on the shower.and let.it run while using the toilet.
There are a few choices.
Easiest is go just use the toilet before your shower and turn on the shower before you use the toilet. If you time it right this wouldn’t waste water.

bluGill@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If LED bulbs are supposed to last for 10 years, why do I still need to replace them every 9 months?51·2 years agoI’ve heard that story, but it doesn’t fit the facts. Bulb life and efficiency is a compromise and no conspiracy is needed for manufactures to all settle on a similar optimal compromise. Long life bulbs existed back in the day, they were sometimes useful but mostly not worth it.

bluGill@kbin.socialto Technology@lemmy.ml•Why We’re Pulling Our Recommendation of Wyze Security Cameras6·2 years agoForget about a camera, setup a local server to read the camera’s data and have that server send data to the internet. There are open source servers you can use, though I have not tested any so I won’t recommend one. Then have your firewall block the camera from the internet completely (you can open a hole to apply an update if you think an update would be helpful, just close it when the update is done).
The PineCube might be a useful camera for this, but AFAIK nobody has really written software for it. still it might be an option if you want to go through a lot of work.
I ask that of myself constantly.
I’m not looking intentionally, but I’ve been in several where the angles of how i’m turning corners (and missing doors or dividers) mean sometimes you cannot help but seeing someone else’s genitals. If you know that setup you can avoid it, but that is a conscious effort that is easy to forget to do since most are not setup that way.
We have a difference of values here. You should be asking a different question, how much do you adjust to someone with different values. You do not have a problem with single gender bathrooms, but some do. Leave it there and quit asking why, there is no answer you will accept anyway, and no particular reason to conclude your values are better.
Raid often comes with snapshots which can recover from your mistakes. Often the raid can even recover after malware encryhts your disk. you still need offline, offsite backups for the best protection but raid is still a useful part of your data safe
