I want to try out some good keyboards for gaming, i have a budget of like 60 usd in India I wanna try building keyboards myself in the future and I'm curious if I'll get more bang for buck by making it myself or buying pre built
So I saw this viral tiktok where the girl just throws two dishwasher tablets in the drum and runs a hot cycle and apparently that cleans everything?? Tried it last weekend and honestly my machine smells worse than before and now there's this weird filmy residue on the inside of the door gasket. Great.
The mold and gunk around that rubber seal is genuinely disgusting and I feel like no matter how much I wipe it with a paper towel I'm just smearing it around. I've also been running hot cycles like every other week thinking that would help but clearly it's done nothing because the inside still looks grimy and my clothes come out smelling kind of stale sometimes.
So yeah I'm done trying random hacks off social media. What do people actually use to deep clean a washing machine properly? Like an actual product or routine that works on the drum AND the gasket because that's where all the gross stuff seems to live.
I’ve been trying to reduce the amount of typing I do for small daily tasks like email drafts, Slack replies, notes, planning, and quick brain dumps.
The biggest shift has been treating voice typing as a first-draft tool. I don’t try to make it perfect while I’m speaking. I just talk through the messy version, let it become readable text, then clean it up once before sending it or moving it into the right app.
Voicedash has been really helpful for this because it turns rambling speech into text that is already clear enough to work with. It’s especially useful on days when I have the thoughts in my head but don’t have the energy to sit there typing everything out from scratch.
I still type when I need to be precise or think slowly, but for getting past the blank page and handling routine writing, voice typing has been one of the more practical productivity changes I’ve tried.
Is anyone else using voice typing as part of their daily workflow?
I've got a few trips spread out over the rest of the year, so I've been trying to see which hotel discount sites are worth checking these days. Last trip I waited too long and ended up paying way more than I should have for a pretty average room, not making that mistake again.
I compare a few places before booking and sometimes the price differences are bigger than I expect. Lately I've been checking sites like Super. com alongside the usual options, but I'm wondering if there are any others I'm overlooking.
For people who travel often, which sites have consistently helped you save money on hotels?
Not necessarily looking for the absolute cheapest rate every time, just the sites you've had the best overall experience with.
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like bottle washers are suddenly everywhere lately.
Every baby registry, every mom group, every “must-have for newborns” list seems to include one now.
I keep wondering… am I actually solving a real problem here, or am I just trying to avoid hand washing bottles when I’m exhausted?
Because realistically, bottles still need to be rinsed, loaded, unloaded, and put away anyway, right?
We already spend so much during the newborn stage, and I’m trying not to fill my kitchen with gadgets that only get used for a few months and then sit in storage.
Did it genuinely make bottle feeding and pump parts easier, or is it mostly overhyped?
Would you buy it again?
growing a business account felt like guessing until recently stumbled across a gem that tracks follower activity and engagement patterns around any account. who's following, who's engaging most actively, where the genuinely interested audience actually is. the data told me more about my target audience than months of hashtag research ever did. the right people were already out there just following someone else has anyone else found things like this or is most people still just guessing?
I am 68. I have no idea what to wear anymore. My body at nearly 70 is not what it was at 30, and I have learned that what looks good on someone else does not tell me anything about what will look good on me. Trust me, I have seen enough dressing rooms in my lifetime. And I do not intend to see more of them thanks to our current technology. I have been sceptical about using AI for online shopping, but I have found a way to do it, and I have been sceaming it from the rooftop. Glance AI learned my style, and it has become even better over time. It shows me what looks good on my body and lets me buy the item too. I enjoy classic neutral wardrobe staples and do not jump on trends. I feel like it learned this about me. It also includes accessories in the looks, which I appreciate. It has recommended some great sandals and hand bags. I do wish the catalog had more sunglasses and jewelry options. Some looks do seem like something a younger person might wear. But that is me being picky.
If you are also in your late 50's or 60's and you are frustrated that most fashion apps seem to be built for the 20 something crowd, this might be for you too!!

Claude Tag made me revisit my local “AI coworker” setup this week. The part I care about isn’t Slack bot polish, it’s persistent work memory across repos, docs, calendar stuff, and follow-ups, without sending the whole company graph into a vendor box.
What I’ve tried so far:
Letta/MemGPT is still the most interesting if you want agent memory primitives and you’re comfortable building around it. Good for experiments, less plug-and-play for workspace context.
Mem0 is nice when you want memory as an API layer. I’ve used it in a small FastAPI assistant. Clean, but you still have to decide what gets written, expired, merged, etc.
Khoj feels more like a personal search/chat layer. Useful if your main flow is notes, docs, browser history, and “where did I put that thing”.
Cognee and Zep are worth looking at if you’re more graph/RAG backend minded.
OpenLoomi sits in a different bucket for me. It’s a local-first desktop workspace thing, Apache-2.0, TypeScript, BYO model key, and tries to build a context graph from approved tools instead of just dumping everything into a vector store. I’ve got it running against email, calendar, docs, and a couple Slack channels. The proactive reminders are useful after tuning, but noisy at first. Setup is not trivial. Also, v0.6.3 still doesn’t have a GitHub issues/PR connector, which limits it for dev workflow unless you bridge that yourself.
For models, I’m using local Qwen/Llama for cheap summarization and routing, then a paid API only when I need stronger reasoning. That split seems saner than trying to make one huge local model do every task.
My current takeaway: the local version of “persistent coworker” is possible, but it’s more plumbing than product right now. The hard part is memory hygiene, not chat.
This might be a basic question, but I just watched Helvetica and now I’m down a bit of a rabbit hole. I’ve always thought of Helvetica as one of those default fonts that is just “around”, but I’m realizing I don’t actually understand the licensing side.
If I want to use Helvetica Neue on a website, what’s the proper way to do that?
Do I need to buy a specific web font license, or is it OK if I already have Helvetica Neue installed on my computer?
Also, is it different if I’m just using it in a logo/image vs. live text on the site?
I’m not trying to get around paying for it. I’m mostly trying to understand what the normal, correct process is before I accidentally do something dumb.
posting this because i see a lot of people getting pushed around by their HOA and just eating the cost
so my HOA started hitting me with parking assessments and fines back in 2023. the numbers didnt add up at all. i did a full reconciliation of every charge and showed them the math, clear as day. they basically said tough luck and ignored me
i tried calling, emailing, going to meetings. nothing worked. they just kept sending bills
eventually i used pettylawsuit to send a formal notice. the whole point was putting it in writing, certified mail, with a deadline. once they saw it was official and not just another email they could ignore, they actually responded. settled the whole thing
if your HOA is overcharging you, dont just pay it. pull your statements, do the math, and if they wont fix it put them on notice. most people assume they cant fight their HOA but you absolutely can especially if its a money dispute under your states small claims limit
happy to answer questions if anyone is dealing with something similar
Anyone got an idea about the probable dates of the new night market and also what are some good melee skins that can come in night market. Can xerofang vandal come in the night market?
My younger brother's college major is materials science, and since he's on break, he brought home a gauss meter that his school was getting rid of. That gave me a chance to play around with it.
The photo shows all the MagSafe accessories that my friends and I have been using lately (yes, I made everyone bring theirs over when they came to my place yesterday).
I measured the magnetic rings of them with the gauss meter and got the numbers shown in the picture.
Just a quick note though: gauss readings don't directly tell you how strong the magnetic holding force is. They only measure magnetic field strength. Actual magnetic force also depends on things like magnet thickness, surface area, distance, and the material of the contact surface. However, since products in the same category are usually pretty similar in those aspects, the gauss numbers can still be a useful point of reference.
Overall, ESR came out on top in the wallet category. They’ve probably iterated on the design too. The light blue one in the middle was from a friend who bought it about two years ago, and the GEO one is a recent purchase, and the numbers are quite different. For Moft, the different models are pretty similar in readings. And for 3-in-1 chargers, Anker generally shows higher gauss.
The O4 Wide just went on sale in China but no word on when it's coming here. I got a few friends over there and I'm tempted to just ask one of them to pick one up for me.
I've been running the regular O4 Air Unit for a while now and it's been fine for what I do. But that 159° on the Wide is a pretty big jump from what I'm used to. I've been on around 140 something degrees and never really felt like I was missing out, but then again I've never tried anything wider so maybe I just don't know the difference yet. It's like one of those things where once you try it you can't go back, or it turns out it doesn't matter that much. I've used wider lenses on other cameras before and it can go either way, sometimes the edges start looking weird and you end up not even paying attention to the extra view.
What's got me thinking though is I mostly fly in tighter spots, parks with a lot of trees and stuff, so I feel like wider FOV could actually help there. But I also don't wanna spend the money and realize my current setup was already doing the job just fine.
Is anyone else looking at this one or waiting for it to drop here?
I’m trying to dress better for work and going out but sweat has been the one thing that keeps messing it up.
Using Carpe has actually helped cut down the obvious underarm sweat more than the usual stuff I used before which I’m happy about. But I still feel like I haven’t fully solved the clothing side of it with lighter shirts, button-downs and fabrics that show everything.
For guys who sweat but still want to wear nicer shirts regularly, what made the biggest difference on the wardrobe side?
I feel that chamber should be allowed to TP while in air and also place his tp on top of sage walls. I don't see how this will break the game, what's your opinion

Most of us use tools like:
​
Pairaphrase
​
Microsoft Translator
​
DeepL
​
Canva Translate
​
Google Translate
​
They are all good for certain things.
​
• Pairaphrase is good when you are working with documents and bigger projects. It helps with things like forms and PDFs. It also keeps the format looking nice which saves time when you are making school papers and educational stuff.
​
• Microsoft Translator is great for talking to people in the classroom and for meetings with people who speak languages. It helps you talk to students and parents in time.
​
•DeepL is good at making translations sound natural. It is good for pieces of writing where it needs to be easy to read.
​
•Canva Translate is good if you are already using Canva to make things like presentations and posters. It helps you make them so people who speak languages can understand.
​
•Google Translate is easy to use and good for translations. It helps you get the idea of what someone is saying.
​
The problem I see is that each tool is good for something. Some are good for documents some for talking to people some for making things look nice and some for translations.
​
I want to know what other people are using. Have you found one tool that does everything you need or do you use tools, for different things?
