I've been reading Hume Pod reviews because I'm thinking about buying one for general wellness tracking.
The problem is that the Hume Pod reviews seem to be all over the place. Some people love it, others say it's not very useful after a few weeks.
Has anyone here actually used one? Did the Hume Pod reviews match your experience?
I'm trying to learn how to stay safe online for a few weeks now and I think I've overwhelmed myself. I have a regular office job, nothing exciting going on but I've been using the internet like it's 2009 and I only recently realized that..
I've read that a VPN alone isn't enough, that browser fingerprinting works even in private mode, and that DNS leaks can undo basically everything. I set up ProtonMail, switched to Firefox with uBlock Origin, and downloaded a VPN I found recommended. I have no idea if I configured it right.
Most guides on how to stay safe online seem aimed at either total beginners or people hiding from governments. Nothing in between for someone who just wants to be reasonably careful.
Is DNS over HTTPS worth enabling if I'm already on a VPN? And is switching to Linux actually necessary or am I overthinking this?
alter gestern saß ich mit ein paar kumpels beim spiel und irgendwie kam das gespräch auf ronaldo 😂 keine ahnung wie aber plötzlich fragt einer ernsthaft: wie viele kinder hat ronaldo eigentlich? und dann haben wir 20 minuten darüber geredet statt das spiel zu schauen digga
krass wie der typ mehr fame hat als manche vereine hier. ich mein der spielt jetzt in saudi arabien ab und ist trotzdem in jeder unterhaltung irgendwie dabei
also kurz für alle die's auch nicht wissen: wie viele kinder hat ronaldo ist anscheinend eine der meistgegoogelten fragen überhaupt 😅 fünf sind's glaub ich
aber mal ehrlich leute, redet ihr beim fußball auch öfter über spielerleben als über taktik oder bin ich in der falschen runde gelandet?
Hi, maybe someone can help me with this? I've been trying to figure out what is software security actually means for regular apps I use daily. I'm not very technical, but I've been getting more careful about what I install.
I've read that it has something to do with how apps handle your data and whether they have known vulnerabilities. But I can't tell if that's something I can check myself or if I just have to trust the developer.
What should a non technical person actually look for when deciding if an app is secure?
My 4 year old miniature schnauzer has been dog vomiting yellow bile almost every morning for two weeks, always before breakfast. I've read it's usually bilious vomiting syndrome, but two weeks feels long for it to just keep happening.
She seems fine otherwise normal energy, eating well, no blood. I've started giving her a small snack before bed but I'm not sure it's helping yet.
The vet is booked out 10 days. Does this warrant pushing for an urgent slot, or is the bedtime snack usually enough to fix it?
my two cats have been going crazy every time I have fruit or snacks nearby. Yesterday one of them tried to steal a piece of avocado off my plate, and today the other was pawing at my watermelon.
I know can cats eat avocado is a big concern since I've heard it might be toxic, but I'm not 100% sure. And can cats eat watermelon seems less scary, but I don't know if it's safe either.
Has anyone dealt with this? I just want to make sure I'm not accidentally letting them snack on something dangerous. Would love to hear from people who've looked into whether cats can eat avocado or watermelon before I panic too much
I have two indoor cats (sisters, around 5 years old). They've been perfectly healthy their whole lives, eat vet recommended dry food, never had digestive issues. Which is why I'm questioning whether I actually need cat grass or if it's just something the pet industry has convinced everyone is essential.
My sister came over last weekend and was SHOCKED I don't grow cat grass for them. Made it sound like I was depriving them of something fundamental. Then I asked my coworker who's had cats for 15 years and she said she's never bought it once and her cats are completely fine.
I've read articles claiming cat grass helps with hairballs, vitamins, reducing vomiting, enrichment... but I've also seen vets say healthy cats on a complete diet don't need it at all. Neither of mine shows any of the behaviors that supposedly indicate a cat needs it. No excessive grooming, no real hairball issues, no chewing on houseplants.
Is cat grass actually necessary for indoor cats, or is it more of a nice optional thing that some cats like and others couldn't care less about?
My 10 year old mix recently had some heavy dental extractions done. The surgeon sent us home with 300mg capsules for his pain management. I gave him his first dose this morning with his breakfast, but I'm getting really concerned about the gabapentin for dogs side effects.
He is completely knocked out on his bed, and when he finally tried to get up to drink water a few minutes ago, his back legs were wobbling badly and he tripped over his own food bowl.
I've researched a lot on veterinary forums today, and I've read that mild sedation is expected at first. But seeing him stumble around the kitchen looking so out of it was scary. I tried calling my regular clinic to double check the dosage, but they were already closed.
Did any of you experience this specific reaction with your older dogs? Is this extreme wobbliness a standard reaction, or should I be looking for an emergency vet right now?
