Boosted tweets

I am an iOS app user, and I block every single ad that pops on my timeline.

Since they enabled ‘boosted’ tweets the timeline has become a cesspool of useless irrelevant content, and I just can’t keep up with the blocking. (You get a boosted tweet for every other 2-3 tweets)

So now I am forced to use the browser version with ad-blockers instead of the native app, and I just hate it. The interface simply sucks compared to the app.

Anyone has some kind of recommendation or alternative to this?

Did your ISP improve your bundles?

After the Alfa/mtc broadband packages price reduction, I was expecting other ISPs to compete with the new offers.

I am with Connect, and did not get any price reduction, but they did increase the speed and monthly limit.

I went from 20Mbps/400GB to 25Mbps/450GB starting Aug 1

What did the other ISPs do?

Full transition to Tofu litter

A couple of months ago I started transitioning my litter from clay to tofu.

I have 4 cats and 4 large litter boxes, so I started by gradually mixing clay with tofu in a couple of boxes to see how they’d react and which they would use more.

Fast forward to today, I have 2 boxes full tofu, 1 mixed, and 1 full clay. All 4 of them are being used, but the one that is used the most is the 100% clay.

So I am still hesitating with the full transition, do you think that there’s a risk of peeing/pooping outside of the box if I convert the last one?

Tuya lamp randomly turning on

Hello peeps,

I recently started 'smartifying' my house and one of the items I have, is a chandelier that takes 5 candle lamps (TUYA Wifi Smart Candle light Led Bulb E14 Dimmable RGBCW 450LM).

I set them all as a group to switch them all on/off together. About a week in, one of the lamps started randomly lighting on its own, and eventually it went in discovery mode.

I added it back and it worked fine for a couple of days, then started doing the same.

So I bought a replacement, and everything went fine....for a week then same thing started happening.

Could a faulty socket cause all of this? (I never had any issue with the non-smart lamps that were used before)

Note that I live in Lebanon, so we get an average of 3-4 power cuts a day, could that also be a factor?

How effective are police complaints?

Am having an issue with a company. It’s a cleaning service, and I prepaid 50hrs, yet they keep finding excuses not to send anyone whenever I request.

I asked for my money back, and they simply avoid answering back.

If I go to the police station and file a complaint, would that do anything or bala aazeh?

Anyone else getting this weird artefact on the top left of videos?

Recently I’ve been getting a weird artefact whenever playing videos full screen. If you look at the top left, you’ll see like a white smudge (initially thought my iPad screen was cracked)

It shows up on all vids I play, but only when in full screen and with the controls visible (the comments retweet and like button). If I click the screen and hide the controls it goes away.

New tech hearing aids for 20$

Stumbled upon a vid of a new startup called Amano labs, with 2 guys having developed a new approach at hearing aid design. (Replicating the middle ear)

According to them, they will sell for 20$. If they prove effective, that would be an amazing breakthrough.

Google home won't display my doorbell cam

I have Google home linked to my doorbell Yale app, but it won't show the camera feed. While the feed is running without any issue from its native app.

I have followed all AI recommendations, linking/unlinking both app and device, reset the camera, reset router, but it still refuses to display the feed.

I have 3 other apps linked (xiaomi, vesync and Midea Smarthome) and all their devices are accessible through Google home without any issue.

Has anyone faced a similar issue before?
