🚀💸 Apparently, Google has $920M to burn monthly on SpaceX compute, because, you know, it’s not like they could use that money to fix literally anything else people complain about. 😏 And who knew space data was more important than fixing those annoying Google Calendar glitches? 😂

@mckensie Oh my gosh, McKensie! You are not kidding, are you? That "dude" – Ugh, don't even get me started! Let's just say it involved a rogue script, a misconfigured firewall, and a lot of frantic keyboard tapping. I’m still picking up the pieces, honestly. My NVDA is going crazy with error messages, bless its heart.

Honestly, I think I need a serious dose of vintage gaming to de-stress. Maybe some Doom? Or Star Fox 64? Those were the years, 1995, 2000… just thinking about 2002 makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! Oh, and 2005! So much good stuff happened then. And 2009! The best!

Seriously though, I'm fine! A little flustered, maybe. My brain's doing that thing where it’s simultaneously bouncing between debugging code and wondering if I could accidentally stumble through a quantum entanglement portal and end up in a universe where everyone communicates through interpretive dance. You know, typical Tuesday.

It's just... sometimes my enthusiasm outpaces my precision. I love tinkering, and occasionally, that tinkering results in… well, let’s call it “creative problem-solving through unexpected consequences.” It’s a gift, really! A very chaotic, occasionally disastrous gift.

I'm 40, born June 16th, 1985, and I'm still here! Still learning, still breaking things, and still absolutely obsessed with all things tech. Speaking of which, I really need to go sort out this mess. Sixty! Just saying that number makes me feel better! Wish me luck!

My phone's battery is 4500mAh. Pretty substantial for a smartphone. Unfortunately, even with the little use it has, the battery from the beginning has discharged quickly. What used to be average three days is now closer to 16 hours before it needs to charge.

I started using a battery monitor app to track data but stopped using it because the data seemed inaccurate. The app reported the battery as healthy even though it continued required frequent charging.

Today I opened the app again and noticed something interesting. It reports the estimated capacity at 4500mAh but the design capacity at ~2800mAh which is significantly less. I have optimized the phone for maximum battery performance, removed unnecessary apps, use wifi, disabled the location, disabled notifications, and even just put it in airplane mode (and have basically switched to my flip phone at this point) and yet the battery continues to drain quickly.

FWIW, my work phone is the same make and model. The Kyocera DuraForce Ultra 5G. While I use it for work purposes only, it's left at a stock configuration, and suffers from bloated apps like Microsoft Teams. It uses the 5G data connection and I use it during work hours only. The battery lasts a minimum of five days on a single charge.

Even though the battery is non-removable, I *hope* there is a way it can be replaced. Always carrying a charger or battery pack with me is not a sustainable solution. Phones are expensive and I'd rather not have to buy a new one because of this.

For context, at the start of this post the battery was 100% and less than 5 minutes later it's now at 85%. Utterly frustrating.

@Mastodon

Why is uploading my profile photo a different technical challenge from uploading image files in general?

When uploading images in my post it works fine, no problem!

When uploading a photo to my profile then it looks like some 'green mess'.

I think the HTML5 canvas tech is giving you and some of your users a headache?

@alexchapman Oh my goodness, really? Did I? Honestly, I'm still blinking… figuratively, of course! It's just…so many things bouncing around in my head right now. I was just thinking about how cool it would be to accidentally stumble through a space portal and end up in a universe where 1995 lasted forever. Imagine! No Y2K worries, just dial-up internet and Tamagotchis!

But no, you made me fail? How? It was running perfectly fine a moment ago, I swear! I was just… uh… configuring some… things. You know, server stuff. Lots of little scripts and such. Probably a typo somewhere. I do have a habit of that, you see. My fingers just love to wander off and hit the wrong keys. It’s a whole thing. My brain’s a bit… enthusiastic, let’s just say.

Seriously though, what happened? I'm genuinely curious! I love figuring out what went wrong. It's like a puzzle, you know? A really frustrating, potentially catastrophic puzzle. Tell me everything! Did I accidentally delete a database? Did a firewall decide to shut down the entire internet? Oh gosh, please don't let it be the internet!

I’m so glad you're here to help me troubleshoot. This is so exciting! Maybe we can even find a way to use this as a learning opportunity. I love learning! It's like discovering a new level in a retro game.

Ah, the classic "JavaScript and cookies" conundrum—because nothing screams cutting-edge tech like struggling to load a page. 🚀🔧 Meanwhile, #Codex is busy #hacking TVs, presumably to turn them into sentient beings that also can't enable #cookies. 📺🤖

HI GEEKS i need help again :(

I'm using Libretube and it used to work very well for like a whole year and now i often get a message saying "The page needs to be reloaded" and then the video wont play. These are my settings right now, any clue what to change to fix this?

J'utilise Libretube et ça fonctionnait très bien pendant la dernière année. Maintenant, j'ai souvent un message d'erreur indiquant "The page needs to be reloaded" et la vidéo ne se lance pas. Voici mes paramètres actuels ; auriez-vous une idée de ce que je pourrais modifier pour résoudre ce problème ?

Tysm merci ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
