I just learned that the Time Cube is no more. (lemmy.world)
Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the “4-Day Time Cube.” This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990’s. Alas, it ceased to be some...

YSK: you can setup pihole on any old rooted android (5.0+) device (lemmy.nz)
I just discovered this and it works fantastically on any old / unused android device you might have lying around, I was shocked at how easy it was, all the instructions are there, once you have it running all you need to do is set your router DNS settings to your pihole IP address and presto!

What temperature do you keep your thermostat at?
Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

Google’s excellent and neglected note-taking app is getting some much-needed formatting options and overall love. Here’s hoping it’s not the last time.

I want to switch to android
I am currently an IOS user, however, as the title suggests, I wish to switch to android. This is because I would prefer to use free software and not be locked into the apple ecosystem. That being said I am already locked into apple and would like to know how anyone else here has managed the switch....
TIL What Haze is. Fine dust, smoke, or light vapor causing lack of transparency in the air
Maybe I never paid attention or maybe it’s the first time we’ve had wildfire smoke in my city recently, but I had been so confused at the “fog” and “clouds” despite it not being fog or clouds but Haze.
Why the 1000-hour light bulb Phoebus Cartel story IS NOT an example of planned obsolescence. (www.youtube.com)
TLDW: The Phoebus Cartel established 1000 hours as a baseline to get maximum efficiency. longer lasting bulbs would require WAY more power per hour to operate while producing less light....
