I’m in a nasty frame of mind right now, and this is what my 'tism brain decided to laser focus on for several hours. I’m mad that my light bulbs cost 10x more than they used to, and don’t last any longer, and my power bill is higher than ever....
Two factors, quality and heat. If you buy bad quality they will last a short time. If the fixture is not designed to dissipate heat it will last less time. I found out the last one for a couple of mine. The ceiling lights with a shade kinda of a bowl like. The LEDs ones lasted less than a year. Then one of them I didn’t find the nut for it and put some other one that didn’t fit quite well but let the air flow and that one outlasted the other ones. Yes heat will kill your LEDs.
Not bad tbh. Mobile phone cameras have come a long way, but I remain highly sceptical that they will completely replace standalone cameras, as Sony has claimed.
Foundation by Isaac Asimov for the sixth time. After watching the series. It’s science fiction. One of my favorite books. The concept of psycohistory is so interesting, civilization following certain paths.
I tend to prefer “file centered” apps, there’s some cool one you’d use with Syncthing? My favourite is KeePassDX; I would love a notes app with a ‘material you’ UI.
Haven’t tried it, since I only sync with my PC and cloud server. But I just checked up and Librera has an option to save progress and profiles to a custom directory, so I guess that would be the way.

If LED bulbs are supposed to last for 10 years, why do I still need to replace them every 9 months? (hexbear.net)

What is the most impressive music video you've ever seen?
Most music videos, especially modern ones, are pretty boring.
