Smart gardening firm’s shutdown a reminder of Internet of Things’ fickle nature in c/technology

[–] abcde_fz 3 points 3 weeks ago

Agreed on all counts. I've never thought of my AeroGarderns as IoT devices and in fact never configured the wi-fi, which was always kind of a goofy stunt anyway: It's got front panel controls.

Do y'all have any music or playlists you find particularly helpful when trying get work tasks done? (The computer kind of work) in c/adhd

Strong recommend for soma.fm. ONE of their stations will have what you're looking for.

Why tf is the OP's comment to a reasonable question being downvoted so hard?

What's your favorite documentary? in c/asklemmy

[–] abcde_fz 2 points 3 months ago

I love docs about civil engineering, especially bridges and dams. Modern Marvels has a couple of good episodes on the subject, told/produced in that program's typical format, including the Golden Gate Bridge and The Hoover Dam.

But my favorite is a 1997 episode of Nova called Super Bridge ( https://thetvdb.com/series/nova/episodes/1357201 ). The footage is great, the narration is great (I think its Hal Holbrook!), the storytelling is great, and it showed a great deal of stuff I didn't know I would be fascinated by, while remaining down to earth.

Apps that encourage/gamify walking? in c/nostupidquestions

[–] abcde_fz 4 points 4 months ago

Seconded for Pikmin Bloom. it really his am walking app as much as much as it is a game. I like Pokemon Go and Ingress too (from the same company), but this is the lightest weight, cutest, and most suited to being able to put it away during your walk if you want.

‘I was shocked’: Eagles announcer Merrill Reese heading into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in c/eagles

His calls are part of why I love the team

The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Van Halen w/DLR, and the B52s. Are there other bands that rock, but are often silly/goofy and funny? in c/[email protected]

[–] abcde_fz 2 points 5 months ago

This is a great answer. They not only have a couple of goofy songs like Boris but also let their goofball personalities shine like on the album (The Who Sell Out?) that has the little ad jingles and the cover with Townsend using a giant deodorant stick and Daltrey in a bathtub full of baked beans.

Oregon's Sports Bra, a pub for women's sports fans, plans national expansion as interest booms in c/news

Totally agree. PWHL Hockey is fantastic in that regard. So fast!

Why is only the ? and ! put at the front and upside down of a sentence in Spanish? in c/nostupidquestions

Quotation marks for a question is a beautiful way to say that!

Keurig Mini No-Splash Platform in c/3dprinting

[–] abcde_fz 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is awesome! I'm currently using a stack of coasters to achieve this.

I do not have a 3d printer: if I found a maker space in my community or something, would I just book some time and walk in with the printables file on a USB?
