  • We’ve had the youtube premium family bundle for several years, mostly for android auto in our cars. I switched to Firefox around that time as well but found it didn’t work as well for youtube. So I compromised by using Chrome for youtube and Firefox for everything else. I will continue this way for the time being, but honestly getting rid of Chrome completely would not be a big deal at this point.

    fuck() {
        sudo $(fc -ln -1)
    } 
    

    This function takes the last command and puts sudo in front of it. Actually used it in a zoom call at work without thinking and it took a second to realize why everyone was laughing. Not my invention–came across it years ago on stackoverflow or someplace and thought it was funny/useful.

  • I bought an HP m281 mfp printer 3-4 years ago and disabled automatic firmware updates when I was setting it up. Not too long after that I read that a new firmware release prevented 3rd party cartridges from working.

    Anyway I bought new ink cartridges a couple of years ago after getting pop-ups saying the ink was getting low. Thing is, I haven’t had to install them yet because despite the warnings the printer has been printing just fine with the original cartridges.

    So in addition to blocking 3rd party cartridges HP is also lying about how much ink their cartridges contain.

    F.U. HP.
