SmashingSquid,

I had this issue and I started using acne body wash instead of the aveeno I normally use. I use the dove men’s care spray on deodorant and have no issues. Trimming / shaving underarm hair helps as well.

SmashingSquid,

Try acne body wash. It made a big difference for me, before switching I was using aveeno. I use the Amazon brand version of this: www.neutrogena.com/products/…/6805370.html

Make sure you’re using a wash cloth, loofa, etc not just your hands. Scrub well.

SmashingSquid,

Do they disable the app if you update or display a warning that it might not be compatible like dexcom?

SmashingSquid,

Is there no number on your card you can call and get your balance using an automated system?

SmashingSquid,

Missing lte band 71. Hope the buyers don’t have T-Mobile in an area that’s b71 only.

SmashingSquid,

That’s not what this is. This is slowing the phone when the battery is old and can’t handle the power output needed, not for low battery.

SmashingSquid,

Would glitter work?

SmashingSquid,

Do carriers still charge for voicemail?

SmashingSquid,

They charge extra for international sms too? Wow you really get screwed.

Gettin real goddamn tired of dogs

I like dogs like I like toddlers. It’s fun to hang out with other people’s for a while, but ultimately they’re annoying, loud, and make a mess. I feel like in the past 10 years or so, dog owners have become increasingly convinced that everyone thinks their slobbering, untrained mutt is god’s gift to everyone, and expects...

SmashingSquid,

I’m a dog owner but I agree. The worst are the people who bring them in the grocery store. Like if you’re out walking the dog and go in a convenience store for a drink that’s one thing but there’s fresh vegetables and stuff in the grocery store instead of prepackaged food so pets definitely don’t belong there. These same people don’t clean up their poop even at the dog park so before I can play with my own dog I have to go hunting and clean up so I don’t get crap on my shoes.

Us responsible dog owners are tired of this crap too.

SmashingSquid,

will literally be popping a zit on its back while you’re at the dinner table trying to eat.

Excuse me, wtf?

Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?

Looking at all the features that older phones uses to have compared to newer ones, I never hear anyone talk about the removal of the notification LED. I personally really liked that feature, being able to see if I got an email, a text or missed a call without turning on my phone was awesome. My Samsung note 8 had this feature,...

SmashingSquid,

The iPhone can flash the camera LED for alerts. It’s under accessibility-> audio/visual. Not sure about android but check in your phone’s accessibility features there’s probably something similar.

SmashingSquid,

If you don’t want it publicly exposed to the internet you can use a vpn. Tailscale is probably the easiest.

SmashingSquid,

This twit posts their crappy site constantly and eventually gets banned and makes a new account.

SmashingSquid,

The alcohol is likely related. He might be insecure or something and projecting it on you, liquid courage probably makes him feel more comfortable being an asshole.

SmashingSquid,

It’s the same as with any other coupon. They make more money from people who don’t bother to clip it.

SmashingSquid,

Google is still the best in my experience, at least for stuff I search for. As long as they’re just slightly better what reason do they have to improve?

SmashingSquid,

Yeah there was just an article on ars about malware from an ad pretending to be keepass.

arstechnica.com/…/google-hosted-malvertising-lead…

SmashingSquid,

None of the products that had the price increased are locked in. Apple TV plus doesn’t even need an Apple device and has many competitors, Apple News has plenty of competitors, there are games you can buy without Apple Arcade though most do stupid in app purchases.

SmashingSquid,

Uber changed things a lot. Uber lets you easily request the ride and track the driver instead of calling for a cab then calling back 45 minutes later to find out where they are and find out they never sent anyone.

SmashingSquid,

If you have carpet you can get a flat Ethernet cable and tuck it around the border. That’s how I have mine set up because my ONT is in the closet.

SmashingSquid,

Yeah I’d like a source too because what they said makes no sense. The immature way they responded to criticism of someone they hired is a good reason to be turned off of the pi, no need to actually make up something ridiculous.

SmashingSquid,

Thanks, that makes more sense. According to an article on ars it doesn’t actually install anything so I don’t see their problem. All they have to do is comment out the line or just use a different distribution.

SmashingSquid,

Explain how adding a Microsoft repo that doesn’t actually install anything is the same as giving Microsoft access to your device?

SmashingSquid,

Finally, performing apt policy code confirms that Visual Studio Code was not actually installed on my system—it’s just easier to install (and update!) now, since its parent repository is part of my sources list, along with the GPG code verifying the contents of that repository.

It didn’t come pre installed with the tool. It only had the repo. Did you even read your own link?

SmashingSquid,

That’s not the same as their claim that Microsoft software was pre installed and has access to your system which is what I’m arguing was incorrect.

Twitter's lost 13% of its daily users and its rebrand has failed (www.bigtechnology.com)

The new data — comprehensive and definitive — should put to rest the countervailing narratives over Musk’s management of the app. Under his stewardship, X’s daily user base has declined from an estimated 140 million users to 121 million, with a widening gap between people who check the app daily vs. monthly. X’s...

SmashingSquid,

He can’t short twitter, when he bought it he took it private.

SmashingSquid,

The article says it makes suggestions that someone has to accept before it’s changed. It’s safe from the lights not being able to talk to each other because they’re not all talking through the same google messaging service.

Leaving the fediverse

Man, I was all on board with this idea. Federated instances made so much sense to me. But it’s tankies all the way down, and it’s just not worth my time anymore. Hell, if the largest instance bans you seconds after you call out a tankie mod, where can you escape? Great idea, terrible execution. Everyone wants lemmy to grow,...

SmashingSquid,

Same here, I have 3 instances blocked and don’t really see tankie crap. Just tons of spam.

Pet-peeve: People joking that "if you get hurt, it's gonna mean a lot of paperwork for me"

As a healthcare worker I hear this joke a lot and I just don’t care for it. It’s insensitive, unprofessional and rude. Yes we all get that “it’s just a joke, bro” but making light of vulnerable patients getting hurt is rotten behavior.

SmashingSquid,

I can see why you wouldn’t like that, it is unprofessional to be saying it to the patients. I could see telling them to be careful because they don’t want to end up staying in the hospital longer but the paperwork thing should really only be said to employees.

My CO2 / Smoke Detector Scared a Year off my life today, and I have questions. Long.

I have a back bedroom with sealed windows, and it gets dry sometimes. It’s for a person with horrible allergies. This room is so clean you could eat off the floor so to speak. I run a humidifier set to 60% with distilled water for the person in there. When I checked on it last night to see if it needed to be filled, the...

SmashingSquid,

There’s one about centos that goes to a YouTube video so it was probably a YouTube video too.

Community for helping people identify music?

I’ve been trying to find the name of a song from The Grand Tour on Amazon, but there’s only a few seconds of music and none of the Shazam-like applications can identify it. Is there a Lemmy community for helping people identify music? If anyone is curious about the song, I’m linking it below:...

SmashingSquid,

Find the page for the episode on IMDb.com, scroll down to “did you know?” And click sound tracks.

SmashingSquid,

Alexa got dumb too. I’ll ask her to turn on the fan and she’ll turn on the fan in another room but telling her to turn off the fan turns off the correct one. I ended up getting a HomePod. Siri may be basic but at least she knows what room she’s in.

SmashingSquid,

Home assistant is working on a voice assistant but it’s not done yet. They’re supposed to announce progress on a YouTube live stream on the 12th.

SmashingSquid,

From the release notes for October:

Even more exciting news, as this is Home Assistant’s year of the voice: Chapter 4 of this endeavor has been announced and will be streamed live on YouTube on 12 October 2023, at 12:00 PDT / 21:00 CEST! Be sure to tune in! I’ve seen some early demos… All I’m going to say is: It is mind-blowing! 🤯

Live stream link is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzgYYkOrnhQ

SmashingSquid,

Don’t get “pumpkin pie mix“ by accident. What you want should say “100% pure pumpkin” and ingredients list should only list pumpkin.

Edit: and don’t be surprised if their poop is orange, my beagle has had diarrhea for weeks because she was on antibiotics and while the pumpkin is helping her poop looks like canned pumpkin.

SmashingSquid,

As a gay I take offense to being associated to such an abomination.

SmashingSquid,

Ted Cruz one is my favorite.

SmashingSquid,

If your library has hoopla you can get ebooks, music, tv shows, movies, comics, and magazines too. Unfortunately doesn’t work with ereaders for the ebooks.

SmashingSquid,

Most of the issue with loading times are the billion ads and trackers. There are sites I visit that load instantly with Adblock on but extremely slow without it.

SmashingSquid,

If it needs the servers ip address doesn’t that make it not a big deal since the ip is hidden in the dns record if cloudflare is proxying?

SmashingSquid,

These person keeps making accounts to spam their site. If it was actual news reputable sites would be picking it up because musk’s constant fuck ups are great for ad views.

SmashingSquid,

I said nothing about ads on your site

SmashingSquid,

That’s the most ridiculous part to me. Why isn’t this able to continue off the car battery? It should be do not disconnect car battery if anything. I hope there’s some sort of fail safe to prevent it from bricking that doesn’t involve a factory reset or dealer visit.

SmashingSquid,

Yeah but shouldn’t the power usage for the infotainment system be similar to a cell phone at this point with similar hardware where it really shouldn’t be possible to run a car battery dead during an update?

SmashingSquid,

So she didn’t drink water and despite there being lots of food besides “juice smoothies” that are vegan you think she died because she was vegan rather than because she was stupid?

SmashingSquid,

They should have told you to read the second paragraph

The specific incident in question was a grand larceny case where two men tried (and failed) to steal a robot owned and operated by Serve Robotics, which ultimately wants to deploy “up to 2,000 robots” to deliver food for UberEats in Los Angeles. The suspects were arrested and convicted.

Of course they’re going to share video of a crime when the crime is someone trying to steal their property.
