Holy crap, this is all spurious as fuck. For one, all your sources are suspicious, first-result Google clickbait articles. But even going from the sources you DO provide:

The Grammarist entry for “taste of one’s own medicine” (which you don’t link to for obvious reasons) doesn’t cite ANY sources. NONE. ZERO. For all we…

This is hilarious because Instagram regularly forces images of strangers’ children into my feed because their idiot algorithm sees that my friends post pictures of their children and decides that’s what it should show me more of. I keep flagging that I’m not interested in this topic, but Facebook can’t help itself…

Jez gonna Jez. What content would even be on this site anymore if it wasn’t making constant overblown, misinformed, bordering on intentionally lying accusations? Sometimes I can’t help but wonder these days if Jezebel hasn’t been taken over by a Russian troll farm to pump out misinformation for the kneejerk left to…

Not sure what’s going on with this site, but most plant options are greyed out after I put in my location, and the ones I can select all say “not recommended” for my zone, including for crops that my area has been known for as long as I’ve been alive. So, you know, kind of entirely useless.

Yeah, “an attempted racism cancelation” zealously led by Jezebel and the Gizmodo family of sites. You can’t just put your torches and pitchforks behind your back now and pretend you weren’t the ones at the front of the mob trying to whip up outrage.

I don’t know of any apps that would control both, but I also don’t know much about Kasa. I think they’re both supported by Home Assistant, though, if you want to get deeper into smarthome stuff. That would be one way to control them both from the same interface.

Man, “good” is a really big stretch here. This update is certainly leaps and bounds over the last version of the app, but it’s still ugly and sloppy and now lacks a lot of even basic functions that were there before. I’ve been on board with Hue since pretty early, and honestly, the very first version of the app was…

We live in a streaming-TV hellscape overall, but what especially pisses me off about Peacock is that NBC was part of the big push for Hulu, and now everyone is there they’re yanking all their content over to this other platform. With the cancellation of Superstore and zero viable comedies in their lineup, I already…

I have a bunch of joycons, most that I bought on launch day nearly 4 years ago. I thought I was fancy or special because I never had a drift problem--until about 3 months ago when ALL of them started drifting, even the newer ones and the ones I don’t really use that often. It makes me wonder if it’s something with the…

Microsoft needs to spend more time fixing the actual functionality of their sloppy-ass software and less time forcing stupid, useless “features” that do nothing but get in the way and constantly changing the layout.

He also thinks stealth planes are literally invisible.

Basically: “Don’t think critically about the media you consume. Accept it without question.”

If you don’t already have a Stadia account, it just makes you sign up for one to satisfy that “need to have used Stadia” condition before letting you order the free bundle.

“Oh, no, no, faggot isn’t a slur again gay people. It’s used to police ‘masculinity’ and to say that it’s like you’re gay, which you should be ashamed about.”

It’s really bad. My battery drains about fours times faster than it did before the update. I keep my phone plugged in for most of the day because I’m usually at my desk, and with maybe moderate use while off charger I get close to 20% after about three hours. That’s just with some listening to music, light texting,…

The widgets I’ve tried that use “live” info don’t update, like weather and maps. They just freeze as whatever they initially loaded; that is, if they don’t just turn into big empty black boxes instead. Anybody find a way to fix this? I’ve deleted the apps, reinstalled, restarted, checked and double-checked privacy…

I have the same problem. It always just ends up back in my mailbox, even if I scribble over the little bar code. I’ve even written in big, red sharpie RETURN TO SENDER - THIS PERSON IS NOT AT THIS ADDRESS, and two days later there it is again in my mailbox. Maybe I’ll try the sticky note method described here, with…

I’m fond of my WH-1000XM3s, but the touch control needs to go. It’s an absolute mess, to the point Sony finally added the capability in the app to turn touch control off entirely. I can’t imagine it’ll be any better on the 4s, since it was also a nightmare on the 2s. These things are massive; there’s plenty of space…

I didn’t know this would was the defacto season finale, and I didn’t know that Delroy Lindo and Cush Jumbo were leaving. I love both their characters, and that’s a huge hole to blow in the show. Hopefully they’ll at least be like America Ferrera on Superstore and agree to come back whenever the show is able to tie up…

I think this is a fair assessment. I wonder if that rushed feeling is because the show’s end was Netflix’s doing, not the showrunners’. So the writers likely had a different trajectory in mind—maybe two separate seasons that each follow the corresponding halves of the season we did get. Animated shows take a long time…
