  • Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

    That doesn’t really answer my question. How does one get ublock origin on mobile?

  • TIL LEGO buys back bricks with giftcards
  • chazwhiz chazwhiz Now 100%

    That’s my guess. I get the impression that their “switch to eco friendly plastic” initiative isn’t going well, this might be an attempt to stretch the timeline (by using resold bricks they can manufacture fewer new ones). But totally an uninformed guess.

  • How did gravity worked on the Death Star?
  • chazwhiz chazwhiz Now 100%

    Mix of both probably. Star Wars tech seem to swap gravity direction easily and smoothly. Like the gun chambers on the Millennium Falcon.

  • Do you use Pocket or other Read Later App?
  • chazwhiz chazwhiz Now 100%

    I’ve used most of the options for this and regardless of the tool I do a terrible job of actually coming back and reading anything in them. Instapaper would probably be my vote for the one I used the most though, connected to my kindle it was nice when I used to travel and could catch up on stuff on the plane. These days I use Inoreader for consuming feeds and it also has a good read later function.

  • What's the actual difference between greater vs metro cities?
  • chazwhiz chazwhiz Now 100%

    I’m not sure about actual functional definitions, but I think of it based on the size of the various cities involved. Metro seems to be used when referring to relatively large cities and towns that have blurred together to the point you move between them without distinct separation. Whereas Greater is applied when there is still a more clear separation between the core “big city” and the suburban towns around it.

  • In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?
  • chazwhiz chazwhiz Now 100%

    We did a Mexican vacation several years ago and everyone in our tour group would surround and excitedly take pictures of iguanas. The local tour guides would laugh and talk about how that always happens and how they were like squirrels to them.

  • 9 years later, I finally played fallout 4
  • chazwhiz chazwhiz Now 100%

    Correct, and I’m familiar with the Wasteland games and they’re great. I was asking about the 3D games specifically. I remember starting Fallout 3 back on my 360 years ago and just not caring for it. I’ve always wondered if I should give another one a go.

    Which modern Fallout game would you suggest for someone who loved the first 2 and generally prefers classic (and modern classic style) RPGs and deep stories?

  • Evolution of Dance (YouTube Most Watched, circa 2006)
  • chazwhiz chazwhiz Now 100%

    Yep, I was coming to comment that my company hired him for an event we had maybe 10 years ago. It was standard “work hard and you can accomplish anything” stuff peppered with HR friendly jokes and bits of the dance routine. It was weird though because most of the people there were either too young or too old to have any idea who he was or what video people were talking about.

  • The official ChatGPT app on iOS integrates really easily and nicely with Apples Shortcuts apps, so doing stuff like summarizing a web page in one click (without having to do API stuff) is super simple for anyone. Is there an equivalent on Android?

    The existence of a product like this heavily implies a demand

    For the record Rabbit Skins is a brand that sells blank shirts for people to print on, like Gildan or Bella Canvas. It’s not their design.

    Why do you love it? That I cannot answer.

    Why did I do it? Because it is there.

  • This one always confused me

    Blue was the original, Awkward Penguin. Then someone introduced the flipped red version for opposite pov jokes. And then the half and half version popped up and sort of took over.

  • Has anyone used n8n and Node Red and could compare them?
  • chazwhiz chazwhiz Now 100%

    I was initially thinking Huginn, but it doesn’t seem to have as much activity around it. You like it, plenty of flexibility?

  • I use HomeAssistant automations for all my home stuff, it has an official easy to add Node Red integration available. I played with it a little in the past but didn’t really see any value for me at the time. Now I’m looking to set up a new automation tool that’s not necessarily hardware/home type stuff, moreso the kind of thing you might use IFTTT for, but I want to self host. so for example scraping a webpage, extracting the content of an article, sending to an AI API for summary, then outputting as RSS. I was thinking about setting up n8n, but I wanted to see if maybe the HA Node Red would be just as good (I think it’s a fork right?). That way I don’t need to set up a new VM or anything plus it’ll be already integrated into my backups and proxy etc as part of HA. So has anyone used both and could compare?
