  • Only a backup for my phone. I’ve got an older model that I had to use during last summer and into the fall after going swimming with my, then relatively new, $200USD samsung. I’m absolutely grateful that my SIL gave me it, even if it is a probably around 10 years old model. Insecure but damn did it allow me to do what I needed.

    Otherwise, not really. If my shit goes, I’m not that prepared. I should be, but I’m not.


  • For android, IronFox ( from their repository that I added to F-Droid ) or I started recently using the DuckDuckGo ( also from F-Droid ) for those rare websites that don’t work on IronFox ( like justtherecipe or just earlier justbeamit ).

    On my laptop running Linux, I have the default Firefox, an ungoogled chromium for websites that don’t work on FF, and TOR.

    As for my desktop running win10 ( and definitely Linux by the end of the summer, I hope ), I have FF, Librewolf, Tor, and just recently got Mullvad VPN’s browser. Probably shouldn’t have that many browsers as once, but I’m an idiot.


  • If you’re like me and either don’t have enough space or don’t like moving a normal computer mouse around, a good trackball mouse is probably gonna be real good.

    I originally got a cheap enough ergonomic wireless Logitech one from walmart for my then new laptop I got for college. Then, just maybe a month or two ago, I got an ergonomic one from Elecom to replace my standard mouse because it was having some click problems and scroll wheel issues. The only problem I have with either is how the ball on the Elecom one doesn’t always move super smooth and I can’t be as precise as I can with the Logitech one.

    Vibe coding ain’t any different from going to any website in the world, copying whatever code you can find, and then wondering why your PC has been infected with ransomware because you’re too dumb to understand what any of the code does.

    It’s also extremely unprofessional, in my opinion, and, also in my opinion, shows you don’t understand a programming language enough to be using it in a professional setting ( for software regardless of whether it’s private or public use ) whilst also being too lazy to read any form of documentation.

    Anyone who calls themselves an"vibe coder" are people I assume never passed kindergarten because clearly they lack any form of critical thinking.





  • Cameras and microphones in “smart” TVs. There’s a reason why when the current TV I use as a monitor dies that I’d be more than willing to take it to a repair shop than replace it.

    Also, on the subject of that TV, I’d be lucky to find a modern model that’s even half of double the size of my current one. It feels impossible to find anything anywhere near 1080x1920 resolution. Maybe I’m bad at finding them, but you know, finding anything like that from known, reputable companies today. Hell, I even looked at a few Japanese brands from their Japanese websites and all the models were looking like American super sized models.




  • Sonic and Knuckles special stages are so much better, in my opinion. Maybe I’m just not good at the Lost World special stages on 3DS, but I somehow struggle because they use motion controls ( moving myself and the whole system to move in a 3D environment ). Moving along in a straight line to collect balls is so much easier, in my opinion.

    Also, joycons are an alright enough setup, but I personally don’t like how small they are. My hands were not made for extended unattached usage of those things.

    These are some more lighthearted things, but here goes:

    • Sonic the Hedgehog ( Sonic '06 ) wouldn’t be as fun of a game if all the bugs and glitches were gone. I live for a good glitch or six sometimes. Same without the highly difficult and janky super speed sections.

    • Sonic Unleashed is an amazing game ( but the xbox/ps3 versions are the superior versions, as someone who has beat it on ps2 and xbox360 ).

    • Due to the janky turn left/right movements on Sonic Lost World and just general movement jank, I am absolutely glad they have the run button to occasionally slow me down and stop me from dying.

    • Also an extreme believer that the special stages ( on the 3DS version of Lost World ) are absolute cancer.

    • Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl was nowhere near as good as The Wrong Trousers. I absolutely hated how they made Wallace absolutely incompetent and idiotic when it comes to normal things ( like how to use a non-electric tea pot ) when he didn’t have any technology.

    • Xbox style controllers with BAXY ( right, down, left, up ) button layout are the way to go. The only exception to that belief right now is my 3rd party wired switch controller because it has a headphone jack.
