  • What are people doing with their laptops, mine never break, except one time when I knocked a cup of water into one in 2005.

    My latest one, Asus Zenbook is already 3 years old and no issues. Has a dent in the top cover where a nurse kicked my bag when I was in hospital.

    My previous one, a dell Inspiron which my 9yo has had for 2 years, is 6 years old, he is not gentle.

    Previous to that, I had a work supplied Alienware that lasted 7 years, I traveled internationally with that one quite a few times.

    Not sure if I’m lucky, or more careful than average. But I hear about “build quality” issues a lot in internet posts. I’ve just never seen it in the wild…

    Note: all ran/run various flavours of Linux.




  • I asked my partner if she wanted a new pebble, she has a nice little Garmin, her response:

    I do like my Garmin in terms of a watch and the feel but the app is shit

    Funny how she lost her last one:

    Her strap broke on the pebble time, my (at the time) 15 month old saw it on the bench, and asked why she wasn’t wearing it. She said it is broken, a few days later she was going to get a new strap and the watch was gone. The 15 month old, had thrown it in the bin…rubbish day had already happened.





  • Take another moment to realize how shit Paw Patrol is.

    1. Not challenging, has clear cut good/bad dynamic. Bluey doesn’t have “bad guys”
    2. PP is fairly inclusive.
    3. Almost not emotional depth, everyone is always in a good mood.
    4. Started off fairly grounded, but then power scaling for no reason.
    5. Repetitive and boring.
    6. What the fuck is up with dogs being intelligent enough to do the PP things, but also being subservient to humans? The whole dynamic is so fucked, Bluey doesn’t have humans at all.

    I only compare them because the are both dog based kids shows. But PP sucks
