Futurama

Those are fun! I went to 4 or 5 of the Harry potter movies in concert. It's a fun way to re-watch older movies on a projector above, while having an amazing live orchestra play through the whole movie. It's really cool that the orchestra director can follow along with the electronic karaoke-like metrenome and keep everyone in sync with the movie the entire time.

It's an emergency propeller, when the main engines lose power.

It's also the reason I never sit in the emergency exit row. The reason they give you extra legroom is so passengers can use the pedals that pop up from the floor when the masks are dropped. When they ask if you're willing and able to help on an emergency, this is actually the most common thing you'll have to help out with.

Everytime I've been in a crashing airplane, I just lean back a few degrees and laugh at those poor suckers who traded for a couple inches of extra legroom and now have the responsibility of saving the rest of us.

Endless Sky is an amazing one. I've put tons of hours into it. It's a top down 2d space trading/fighting game, very similar to Escape Velocity if you've ever played that game.

If you cut the sleeves off of a T shirt, wouldn't that make it an I shirt?

KeePass with inputstick. It's a device that plugs into a USB A port, and your phone talks to it via Bluetooth. It emulates a keyboard (and mouse if you want), and there's a KeePass plugin for KeePass2Android.

You open one of your password entries, click the username, and it types the username on your computer via inputstick. Ditto for passwords and totp or other fields.

You can also use inputstick to just remotely control your computer, albeit locally only and without a monitor connection. I've used it to control my raspberry pi or android TV, aside from password entry.

With this, you can have your password database be completely offline and your computer have no lasting knowledge of your passwords. Of course, a keylogger would still get the passwords that are "typed".

I've had one of these $40 devices for a few years. I don't use it too often, as I tend to synchronize my KeePass database on all of them, but it does come in handy. I wish the developer of the hardware made a usb-c one, but it works with usb-c to usb-a dongles.

I have play protect disabled. It gets annoying that it randomly asks to re-enable every so often, so I created a Tasker automation to dismiss that popup of it detects it. Doesn't always work, but it's better than nothing. Super annoying that you can't tell Google to stop asking already and no, I don't want play protect.

I'm testing out grapheneos on another phone, which has all the Google stuff stripped out or sandboxed, so I don't have to worry about it there.

So no, play protect hasn't removed my KDE connect app, but it hasn't been given the opportunity to try.

In one row in the top image, there are only two people, but three hands raised. The skin tone and attire of this arm doesn't match with either of the two people in that row with their hand raised. I'm guessing this was an oversight of the original meme creator for this template.

I noticed this when someone posted this meme a while back, so I thought I'd try my hand at making my own somewhat meta meme.

We're back, baby!

My wife has an iPhone, but I have an old iPad hooked to her account. I can see where all the air tags are, and locate them or activate the noise function. For traveling, there's no real benefit to having an iPhone vs an iPad.

The main bonus that the newer IPhones have is the ability to locate them like a homing device. If you're within 30 feet, it will actually tell you which direction and how far away it is. Like a compass, it points you towards the air tag, letting you get to within a foot or so to find it. For locating a lost item at home, it's much easier to use the iPhone.

But for gps tracking, the basic Bluetooth check in network with apple devices gives you the location of all the devices, within a few meters or so.

Eh, it varies from person to person.

I want to try this, too. Make it more possessive, though. The 15th of 2023's August. Really add to the confusion.

As usual, there's an xkcd for that. Along with a more detailed explanation.
