bluu@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Pixel 7 Pro has worse battery life than S23 baseEnglish7·2 years agoP7Pro has a larger screen at a higher resolution which will consume significantly more power. I’m sure some part of it is also due to inefficiency of the Tensor processor
bluu@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•A toddler lost in the woods is found asleep using family dog as a pillowEnglish1418·2 years agoCute and sweet and all, and I’m glad she’s okay. Really. But I’m not sure that “we couldn’t find our child for a few hours” is news-worthy.
bluu@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Sufjan Stevens is relearning to walk after Guillain-Barre Syndrome left him immobile, hospitalizedEnglish14·2 years agoGlad to hear he’s recovering well. People underestimate the degree of deconditioning that happens after just a few weeks of immobilization and hospitalization. Looking forward to more great music from him.
But also… Tumblr?

I donated to the International Medical Corps because a Libyan friend of mine has worked with them in the past and vouches for them.

bluu@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I May Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, What Specialty Doctor Should I Consult With?English10·2 years agoNote: my experience is limited to the US medical system, so things may be different where you are. However, I definitely agree with getting wrist braces first while waiting for your appointment. Schedule an appointment with a primary care provider who can evaluate you and recommend either medications or refer you to a specialist. Often times carpal tunnel can be managed with over the counter medications, wrist braces, and avoiding the repetitive movements that exacerbate it (usually typing in today’s world). If not, then the specialist of choice is often an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in wrist and hand surgery, though there are also plastic surgeons that specialize in hand surgery as well.

bluu@lemmy.worldOPto pics@lemmy.world•[OC] Summer nights in Chicago are hard to beatEnglish8·2 years agoOh, and for anyone interested, this was shot with my Sony a7iv, Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens, aperture f/7.1, 3.2 second exposure on a tripod. The relatively long exposure is what gives the water jets that soft, smooth look
bluu@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Treating Parkinson's with electronic signal to brainEnglish16·2 years agoNot knocking the technology at all, it really can be life-changing for people with Parkinson’s disease. But it’s been around for a while, it was approved in the US by the FDA in the late 90s. A chip is not implanted, but rather electrodes in the brain that connect to the controller elsewhere.

bluu@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•This doctor said vaccines magnetize people. Ohio suspended her medical license.141·2 years agoDoctors of osteopathic medicine (DO) are legitimate doctors (at least from my experience in the US healthcare system). They function identically to doctors of allopathic medicine (MD) with the rare addition of osteopathic manipulation. But their standards of training and credentialing are essentially the same. You’ll find crackpot DOs and MDs if you look for them.

I think I’m most impressed by the clean cut cross sections you got
bluu@lemmy.worldOPto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Please send help. I'm falling down the rabbit holeEnglish3·2 years agoYeah the big draw of custom keyboards for me was trying different switches, so hot swap was a must. I already have more switches than I need. If I could do it over again, I would have first invested in a switch tester
bluu@lemmy.worldOPto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Please send help. I'm falling down the rabbit holeEnglish3·2 years agoI have no plans to buy any more boards anytime soon. I’m not a huge fan of the taller keycap profile of the Keychron, but I’ll give it some time before considering different keycaps
bluu@lemmy.worldOPto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Please send help. I'm falling down the rabbit hole2·2 years agoIt’s the 1st generation Google Pixel Stand, a wireless phone charger. Overpriced and not worth the money since I prefer wired charging to maximize battery longevity
bluu@lemmy.worldOPto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Please send help. I'm falling down the rabbit holeEnglish3·2 years agoOh no, I’m not ready for that yet. I’d never be able to use a random qwerty keyboard again
bluu@lemmy.worldOPto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Please send help. I'm falling down the rabbit holeEnglish4·2 years agoStill deciding. I’m relatively new to the hobby so still getting a feel for different switches. I’ve only recently become a fan of linears after discovering heavy linears, and now going back to tactiles feels so crunchy. The bananas have a very light bump at the top, so once you pop through that, they just feel like smooth linears. The bump for me basically serves to prevent accidental key presses when resting my fingers on the keys.
I’ve gone through a lot of travel mugs, but I also have been most impressed with Zojirushi to the point that it’s the only one I’ve used for the last 10 years and also recommend to everyone
