"Do you live in the Midwest?" by self-report
  • Interesting to me that Ohio and Michigan two states that I thought were firmly Midwestern identify less as Midwestern than what I always thought of as the Great Plains states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas.

  • I want every Android phone to steal the iPhone 15 Pro's Action button - Android Police
  • I'd still like an extra button and/or squeeze function like the early pixels had. The big thing for me on the ultra while you're in the camera app would be a shutter button like some of Sony Xperia phones have. Being able to double tap the shutter button for the camera could open the power button to open another app or function, also wouldn't mind seeing a triple tap function added to the button as well.

  • How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?
  • I mostly have. However I do not spend anywhere near as much time on Lemmy as I did on reddit. When all the third party stuff started going down I really started to assess how I used the Internet and had to change things. I was using Sync for Reddit on Average 2.5 hours a day which is just insane. Over the course of a decade it was like a year of real time and was really eye opening how much time I was wasting.

    Now I set an app timer for Sync for Lemmy for 1 hour a day I rarely hit it.

    I do check reddit, but I do not have an app installed, it's mostly to check something specific rather than endlessly scroll.

  • New Chromecast with Google TV remote shows up in Android 14 Beta
  • Google has some work to do. While the Chromecast with remote is half the price of the Apple TV, the Apple TV blows it out of the water and I think is worth the price. It's the only apple product I own. The integration with apps and sports is just fantastic. Also the Picture in Picture support, works really well. Would really like to see Google match what Apple is doing with their TV device.

  • What's the best financial decision you've ever made?
  • Selling my car and getting an ebike. First few months were rough because I was used to having a car all the time for twenty years. The gas, insurance, registration and maintenance savings add up quick. My wife and I share a car, but I rarely drive it as I've gotten so used to the ebike now. We live in the suburbs, but are close to the light rail train line and bike paths so it made it relatively easy. Over the course of a year we'd typically spend $4000-$5000 on the second car so not having that is a lot of extra money
