iFixIt recommends scotch-guarding your Fine Woven case
  • From Apple’s online store:

    Made from durable microtwill, the material has a soft, suedelike feel. The FineWoven material was also designed with the earth in mind - it's made from 68 percent post-consumer recycled content and significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to leather.

    A DIY ‘bionic pancreas’ is changing diabetes care — what's next?
  • My spouse is type 1 diabetic and I got her set up on Loop a few years ago.

    It’s out of this world how much work she had to go through beforehand. Several times per day she had to babysit her shitty pancreas or she will literally die. Read a number from one device, apply some rough mental math, and insert a different number into a different device. I’m honestly confused it wasn’t automated sooner.

    What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?
  • I find pointless bugs in video games. I can spend hours trying to platform in a single spot the game doesn’t expect, like jumping from a fence to a windowsill to lamp post to a canopy to a roof.

    I used to be a speedrunner and still have some of that blood in me, but I refuse to skip content in casual playthroughs. So the crazy part is if I find a way to skip an entire level, cool, time to go back and do it normally.

    Aeropress—Can't be a BIFL community without a mention
  • I've had numbers wear off (never went by them anyway) and rubber gaskets wear down, but a $5 gasket replacement every several years still counts as BIFL for me. The plastic argument makes sense, although I haven't experienced it. They just changed their materials for the clear version, I wonder if that one is better.
