    We’ve got one of those ones that attaches to a regular toilet, and I gotta say that it’s fucking wonderful.

    However. The water pressure in our house can be kinda weird. Mostly it’s normal, but sometimes it’s like a jet washer for a few seconds. And those few seconds after you’ve first opened the bidet are like getting reamed out by a Karcher.











  • You joke, but staring at the shitty LG LED TV I bought a year ago, I get mad at how much research we have to do these days just to make sure we get the best <PRODUCT> possible for the budget we have.

    Not that long ago you could walk into a TV show room, pick the best one they had that you could afford and that was that. We’d have our brand preferences, but by and large we could buy a TV that would last us ten years.

    Now, in order to stand a chance of getting five years out of a product we have to do weeks of research, scour a bunch of forums, mentally having to vet out replies that feel like they’re shill accounts. We have to become miniature experts in every field where we need to spend money, and it’s just fucking exhausting.

    In my case, I was labouring under the belief that LG make really good TVs. Turns out they make really good OLED TVs, but their LED panels suck balls. So within nine months of buying this panel, the backlight has become patchy as shit, and now I’m having to go through the bullshit of returning it in order to get a better one.






  • Yeah, iOS/iPadOS isn’t great for that, so far as I can tell. I spent am unreasonable amount of time the other day trying to work out how to get the Obsidian vault on my iPad to sync with the vault in my SyncThing folder. Still not entirely happy with my setup. In fairness though, I’m running SyncThing on three computers, and two of them are Macs. So its solid on there.

    But other than that, SyncThing isn’t a great replacement for iCloud Drive because you can’t choose what you download. So if I have 200gb in my ST folder I can’t sync it with my 128gb phone.
