For pure energy efficiency it’s hard to beat an SBC (raspi, rockpi). Mine does a good job with Jellyfin streaming so long as I avoid transcoding.

Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburger. It just pummels your tastebuds with fat and I like it.

If you live in a region that snows seasonally then I’d say knitting. It can be a very therapeutic activity and when my wife wears her own knits she’s never cold. Knitted gear can also make great gifts and if you’re good enough it can earn some money on Etsy.

Don’t know if it’s planned obsolescence or just laziness but all of my Nintendo Switches have at least a little drift and I’ve bought at least two replacement sets of joy-cons AND replaced just the joystick on one unit (PITA and replacements didn’t work 100% so I stopped repairing).

I’ve been successful in replacing built-in batteries in 2 different phones. Granted my families phones are all > 4 years old so maybe it’s gotten much harder lately.

Agree. My jeans have been wearing out at the knees within a couple years and I’m middle-aged so I’m NEVER on my knees for more than a few seconds. Apparently they’re averse to bending. 🤨

Can’t find it but I was almost positive there was a trailer for 9 set to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQRh_koli9E

Works wonderfully if you’re profit. The free markets love you and will do anything for you.

Oh, you’re a people? Have you heard of our Lord and Savior profit? If you’re not helping profit then you must be hurting it, therefore hurting the market. We don’t take kindly to the likes of you.

They fucked up by making their robots last seemingly forever, due to the fact they spy on you and get stuck every 15 mins so you never want to turn them on.

What about multiple Pis? Seriously asking. I love having a Pi as a dedicated server (small footprint, low energy, low temp). Do I really need to switch to a more traditional ITX/ATX form factor to get real reliability?

Not hard to find single cup brewers for loose grounds (I own one) and they’re cheaper because they don’t have to work with Keurig for licensing and compatibility.

Those aren’t bad but the container is too small for my liking. Keurig brewers are a pain to clean too.

Used coffee grounds have many more uses than the plastic k-cups. Recycling the cups is difficult and usually doesn’t happen. They do make eco-friendly cups but they still contain dyes for the labels and require more energy to mass produce than simple paper filters and a bag of grounds (or beans if you grind your own).

K-Cups. They might save you a grand total of a minute over loose grounds and a disposable paper filter, but they’re more costly per cup and create more waste.

I’ll buy them as “gag gifts” but not for myself.

Let’s be honest, not all races are equal<br> 🫲🍊🫱

Be aware you might have to resort to nftables if firewalld doesn’t work. I use localhost a lot and the routing rules are different in that case.

Rage. The changes to 3rd party apps really pissed me off and I thought it was best to use my anger productively.

Thanks for mentioning Wolf. I’m pretty happy with Sunshine but I do have those occasions where it can’t stream because my monitor is turned off (upstairs) when I’m downstairs.

As soon as I saw Plex show media that wasn’t part of my personal library I knew it was becoming enshitified.
