I just met my new neighbor for the first time, and when we exchanged numbers (by me texting her number) my phone (Pixel 8) showed her full name with a tilde in front of it below the phone number. She’s not in my contacts. Where did it get that name from?

As an American, I can see that there’s what appears to be a vocal minority in Scotland pushing for independence, but I genuinely have no understanding of how likely that is to ever actually happen. Is it at least in the realm of possibility, or is it more of a “The South shall rise again” type thing? (No offense intended...

Hey, Recently bought 2 new PS5 controllers to play on PC(BazziteOS), that’s connected to a TV. I have the controllers connected to my network card (TP-Link Archer TX50E), that supports Bluetooth 5.0. However, while the PC is only 3 meters away from the TV and the couch, the controllers keep falling out due to bad connectivity....

For the past few months I have been working on a simple windows notepad like text editor. It’s nothing special, but when I first switched to linux I looked around and it took me a while to find leafpad.

I’ve been using pCloud to back up only the most important information. The stuff that’s hard to get back if something bad happens. Kept in sync with rclone....

I -was- going to find a community who might help me with my problem, but then I found this place and it’s obviously much more constructive to bitch about it than to actually try to fix it. Shame on me for not seeing that right away....

Ok so I got this idea not while showering, but because I’m very high. The story does come from my bathroom though! I have a night light in my bathroom, and I was looking at the night light as I turned off the bathroom light. I’m a big nerd so I remembered that the things that detect light levels are actually diodes wired in...

I was always on Linux since Varsity but two years ago when I bought a gaming Laptop, it had Windows 11 on and worked great. I thought I would give it a chance and it was great especially for gaming. Luckily a lot of the open source software I was used to were available on windows. I also liked some of the Linux tools like the...
