Built a free extension that syncs a reaction video with your Netflix/Crunchyroll/etc. tab so they never drift apart

Kept trying to watch reaction videos next to the actual episode and the two would drift apart almost immediately — constant pausing and scrubbing both tabs to line them back up. Got annoyed enough to build a fix.

It's a Chrome extension (MV3) + a small web app. You load the reaction video, open your show in Netflix/Crunchyroll/whatever, set one or two sync points, and it just... drives the show tab's play/pause/seek to stay locked to the reaction video from then on. It's not doing anything fancy under the hood, just finding the <video>element on the streaming tab and controlling it directly — no capture, no re-hosting, nothing sketchy with the DRM.

Covers Netflix, Disney+, Max, Prime, Crunchyroll, Hulu, Apple TV+, Peacock, plus local video files if that's your setup.

Its totally free, works without an account — signing in just saves your sync points so you're not resetting them every time and having to paste URL.

Still rough in places, so if you try it and something breaks I'd genuinely like to hear about it!

3 Interviews, then rejection. Previous Seasonal Employee?

A little background, I was hired last year as a seasonal employee officially as a Retails Sales Advisor but within 3 weeks to one month, got moved to Geek Squad as a Consultation Agent. I did great, my numbers were good, my seasonal term ended and they told me that they could not keep me permanently because they already had too many employees. No hard feelings as it was a seasonal I was never promised a permanent position.

Fast forward to now: I just had 3 interviews at Best buy all within one week at a different location nearby where I live, then got rejected. I feel as though all interviews went great, and since I was a previous hire with good metrics and performance, there should have been no reason for me to not be heavily considered. I'm not here to ask why I did not get hired!

Im here to get insight or ask if Best Buy locations speak with each other about previous hires, because a weird pattern i have noticed is the location I worked at last year my applications immediately get rejected within one day. Other locations some get rejected a week later, this other one I got an interview with one manager. Then asked to come in for a 2nd interview. Then a third one for a Geek Squad CA role. Then 2-3 days later I get rejected.

I'm curious if something happened and they spoke with my previous manager and if that can play a role, and if it takes one manager to not "like me" and then they just decide they're not moving forward with me? I just think its strange thought i'd come here for some insight if anyones had THREE interviews for a retail job lol.

This car might have saved my life

Based off the picture. Yes the crash was bad, lost total control of the car and hit a tree going 40mph average. Other than 2 cuts on my arm from all the airbags that were deployed. I had no neck, head injuries. I walked out okay, body was in shock for a couple of hours. But did not take ambulance, Blood pressure 20 minutes after crash came back okay. They did a test to see if i was dazed , confused, or concussed. They said i surprisingly looked and checked out fine.

Loved driving this car for 2.5 years, i was 3 months away from my lease ending. And loved every minute of having this car. This happened 24 hours ago, so we’ll see what my next car will be. But as of today i feel fine. Insurance is covering everything. Obviously, car is completely totaled. Just glad i walked out and was able to stand on my 2 feet.

Uhhh not complaining lmao but what the?

World cup is LIT lmao assuming this was a $40 per ride promo. Ended up that rider said they’ll walk cuz all roads were closed. Still got the $40 bonus + $3.

Would you take this Reservation? Realistically not 31 minutes. More like 20.

given the fact that this ride is pretty much 19 miles and Uber’s navigation timer is way off. I know the area and this drive is about 20 minutes. Would you guys accept this reservation?

Finally published Chrome Extension - ReactSync

It’s kind of in the title. And i know a lot of you will find this useless, but this is for the people that watch reaction videos of movies / music.

ReactSync is browser extension built for a common frustration: watching a reaction video (e.g. on Patreon or YouTube) side-by-side with the original movie or show, and having to manually pause and play both tabs every time. With ReactSync, you set the time offset once and every play, pause, and seek action mirrors automatically across both tabs.

✅ Auto-detects video tabs in your browser
Mark sync point — seek each tab to the same moment, click ⊙ A + ⊙ B, offset calculated instantly
✅ Play, pause, and seek events mirror across both tabs in real time
Audio source selector — pick which tab plays audio (Tab A only, Tab B only, or both)
✅ Works with YouTube, Patreon, Vimeo, Netflix, Disney+, and any HTML5 video
✅ Zero data collected — fully local, nothing leaves your browser

Is this considered “Good” for a Wednesday in Los Angeles?

Was wondering if this is considered good for a driver in Los Angeles? The promotion which doesn’t show (i don’t know why) is the “Flash Incentive” + Platinum perk of 5%.

Personally, for Wednesday, I was shocked because I would think it would be way less considering the weekends are horrible. But wondering if anyone in California or Los Angeles specifically has any insight or feedback as to how this is per hour or just in general

Search in Settings Index Broken ever since iOS 26.5?

has anyone else had this issue ever since updating to 26.5 where when you search for settings in the Settings app nothing is coming up? I attached screenshots of what I mean the weird thing is before I start typing. I can see the suggestions but if I try to specifically type anything I get no results. I had no issue with this it was actually working pretty good up until this newest update.

I’ve spoken with Apple support who ran me through basic troubleshooting steps and even told me to reset all settings, which was a mistake and did not even resolve my issue.

Any feedback would be great because it’s very frustrating having to manually find the setting I am looking for in settings app.

I am on an iPhone 17 Pro Max running iOS 26.5
