Those without A/C, what are your tips to stay cool during the summer?
  • Pro tip: Point the fan so that it blows outside and DO NOT put it directly on the window or right next to it. Instead, move it ~50cm away from the window to take advantage of Bernoulli's principle (push the air out more efficiently by pulling the air surrounding the fan).

    You can cool down the room even if the door is closed. You are lowering the pressure inside your room so the outside air is forced to rush in. If you place the fan like I explained, and point it at the lower part of your window and you put your hand next to the upper part of the window, you will feel the cold air coming in.

  • Mood
  • Everything else requires effort.

  • I noticed a white hue on the top of the screen and ONLY on the homescreen. I thought it was a Fairphone 5 issue, but now i noticed it on my Nothing Phone 2a (photo)as well. What is it?
  • Yeah it is visible, but much more subtle than on your original picture in the post.

    Easier to see against the black background:

  • Maybe it's just a temporary image retention? Was there something (bright or white) previously at that section of the screen? Like some app that you use often?

  • Manifest v3 update: Vivaldi is future-proofed with its built-in functionality

    vivaldi.com Manifest v3 update: Vivaldi is future-proofed with its built-in functionality | Vivaldi Browser

    Google is forcing an update from manifest v2 to v3. With the most important functionality built into Vivaldi, it will have a limited impact. Those running extensions not supporting v3 will be affected.

    That is unfortunate... I had an unrealistic expectation, I thought they'd be able to support Manifest v2 for a long time, or find some kind of workaround.

    They say Vivaldi is future proof because of their built in adblocker, but unfortunately it is not very good...

  • What's something you want to stop doing but can't actually stop?
  • Overthinking everything and being a "perfectionist". So hard to finish or even start doing anything.

  • Any Tasker buffs here? I need help with something.
  • I think the only way to show the icon on the status bar with tasker is using the notification (notify task) and giving it an icon.

         Profile: Detect Auto-rotation setting change
        	Event: Custom Setting [ Type:System Name:accelerometer_rotation Value:* ]
        
        
        
        Enter Task: Un-notify if autorotate off
        
        A1: Custom Setting [
             Type: System
             Name: accelerometer_rotation
             Read Setting To: %arstat ]
        
        A2: Notify Cancel [
             Title: ar ]
            If  [ %arstat ~ 0 ]
        
        A3: Notify [
             Title: ar
             Icon: mw_device_screen_rotation
             Number: 0
             Priority: 3
             LED Colour: Red
             LED Rate: 0 ]
            If  [ %arstat ~ 1 ]
        
           
    

    You can set the notification to silent.

    Lemmy apps that can swipe to next post?
  • I think Boost has the Swipe view type.

  • It's a mess in here
  • Yes, it's a reference to an article that's been posted here on lemmy the other day: https://lemmy.world/post/15229790

    Since when did 1337x start doing this crap?
  • It was hit or miss since 1337x started showing CF captcha thingie.

  • Are you using passphrases? Is it worth it?

    Nowadays, most people use password managers (hopefully). However, there are still some passwords that you need to memorize, like master password (for a password manager), phone lock, wifi password, etc.

    Security wise, can passphrase reach the strength of a good password without getting so long that it defeats the purpose of even using it?

    Anyone using KeePass with Syncthing?

    I've been using Dropbox to sync my KeePass database for years, but I want to switch to Syncthing. My only concern is losing a password due to file versioning. Usually if I have KeePass open on both my phone and PC, there will be a conflict when saving to database, so Dropbox creates a conflicted copy. In some cases that means that I have to merge those databases but I don't lose the password.

    What file versioning option should I be using in Syncthing? Should I be worried about losing a password due to conflicted file?

    What keyboard are you using and what is your WPM?

    Typing test: https://monkeytype.com I used Unexpected Keyboard

    Any tips on how to improve typing speed? (without using word suggestion and autocorrect)

    I'm interested in how fast people who swipe type are.

    Also, do those keyboards like Thumb Key and FlickBoard have the potential "to be faster" than the standard keyboards?

    What could be causing my phone (or charger) randomly heating up while charging?

    It happens rarely, but I will notice either my phone or the charger getting pretty toasty randomly. What could be causing this?
