  • For years Firefox on Windows had this weird random bug for me where audio just would not work at random times. I tried every fix imaginable. I spent hours crawling the internet trying to find a solution. Couldn’t fix it. I’ve used it on Linux but not on Windows for a few years now; I’m going to be doing a fresh install of Windows on my computer soon, so we’ll see if the bug finally disappears then.

    there isn’t enough work for everyone

    Immigrants induce demand for goods and services just like anyone else, thus the jobs to render those goods and services.

    the crime just gets higher and higher

    Technically depends on the country but this is usually false.

    plus they do it illegally

    Law is not morality. Perhaps it shouldn’t be illegal.




  • In theory, a device such as this could add 2-4ms round-trip latency in optimal conditions. In practice, even with optimal conditions, these companies have not perfected this technology, and they are not usually targeted towards gamers.

    Wirecutter has a write up on these sorts of devices.

    I would honestly just recommend a long HDMI cable that you run along the perimeter of the room. You can get flat hdmi cables if you think that will look better - I’m renting and am running flat white ethernet cables taped with white duct tape to the white baseboards throughout the house, and it looks pretty clean.

    Otherwise, buy from someone reputable so you have less hassle returning it if latency is clearly an issue.



  • A power user is someone who tries to leverage features of systems and/or software to more efficiently or effectively interact with the platform/service they are a user of far moreso than the average user. Because users of third party apps on Reddit are the extreme minority (just look at official app downloads VS TPAs), they’re typically considered power users, as they are willing to go out of their way to make their experience better, even if it’s just downloading and setting up their app.

    Power users also tend to be more active users; if you use something more, you’re more likely to want to improve the experience of using it. Someone who pays for extra features to leverage more power is probably someone who uses the platform/service a lot more than the average user.

    They’re called a power user because they’re leveraging power by doing more to exploit (not a negative term here) potential out of what they have as a user; at least, that’s how I interpret the phrase.



  • I make my own seitan, and the recipe is extensive so I won’t list it here. But I do a thick layer of seitan on low-carb bread, a combination of vegan (violife provolone) and dairy (usually sharp cheddar, sometimes gouda or havarti) cheeses, and throw it open-face in an air fryer on the hottest fry setting like they do at subway. While eating it I add small dollops of a homemade sauce similar to chick-fil-a’s. It’s basically all I need. The seitan I make is phenomenal, and everything else compliments it so well. You don’t really notice the bread is low carb when it’s part of a sandwich, but it’s higher fiber content is both healthy and helps it maintain structure.
