Best way to save battery?
  • Things like turning off wifi and/or turning on airplane mode can make a big difference (when you're not needing connectivity of course) The cell modem can really eat away battery life if you have a poor signal. And for my pixel tablet, turning off wifi means the battery can last for a couple weeks instead of a couple days. Heck, turning it off if you won't be using it for more than a few hours can help too.

    Stick that goes "AAAAEEEEEEEUUUU"
  • There's some kind of bird in the Faroe Islands that sounds exactly like this toy. I couldn't figure out what it was but I could hear it above me while hiking, it was delightfully bizarre

    Michigan ranks # 2 for power outages
  • With the 2 largest utilities being investor owned, their top priority is to show YoY growth to their shareholders. Due to the nature of being a public utility having competition isn't really feasible so customers are stuck dealing with being 2nd priority at best. That sucks

    Please recommend your cheaper, reliable SSDs 2TB+ (4TB ideal)
  • Same, we're ones of dozens I'm sure but I've been running a mix of WD greens and Seagate barracudas in a hardware RAID5 array for over a decade. Only had 2 drive failures over the entire time with no data loss. But yeah... would advise against that if possible

    What is the most petty way a place you worked at tried to save a few bucks?
  • I work at a fortune 500 company that's doing all sorts of things to reduce costs. One of those things was taking down all the clocks. So now we just have off-white-yellow circles near the ceilings throughout the office.

    Puffin nesting by a waterfall
  • Hey I've been there! Múlafossur is just so so beautiful. It was my first time seeing puffins and I'll never forget it!
