  • You can either embrace the ADHD, or fight it. Ultimately which you prefer is up to you and your individual situation. The downside of embracing it is for sure gonna be financial, the downside of fighting it is gonna be emotional/mental anguish.

    Having a new hobby every month can be fine if you know it’s gonna be the thing. Don’t invest too heavily even if it “really feels like this is finally the one”. Or, you can focus on a hobby that does constantly change, videogaming is of course one example. The other thing is, you may develop the ability to steer your interest back to previous hobbies. Just know that there is a bit of a wall to climb to get back into a hobby you dropped, it’s gonna feel a whole lot taller of a wall than it really is but a little push can be enough to clear it without burning out.

    Edit: joining a social community for each hobby is a good way to naturally swing your interest back to it every now and then.



  • I just grab an app that lets it increment by amounts other than 10%. Not as good, but doesn’t need root. If I gotta change the volume by alot, I drag the bar. Otherwise I just leave the button at 1% increments. Cuz yeah, my volume is like 1% to 5% most of the time, until I need to watch a youtube video, then it’s like 70%… then the next thing I do on my phone after the youtube video renders me temporarily deaf and everyone within a mile glares at me… and I turn my volume back down to 5% or less again.

    Not sure why every single other thing on the phone uses a different standard for volume than video does… just a new loudness war I guess.




  • I game on one virtual representation of my real monitor at 4k60hz, and one entirely virtual monitor at 4k120hz. When I am playing a game my sister wants to watch, I play it on the screen that also exists in real life. When I am playing just for me, I play it on the 120hz screen. They are one on top of each other, at the touch of a button they swap exact places with each other. I put the one I’m playing on currently at the bottom.

    The main reason I do top/bottom is because the screens are quite large. About the equivalent of sitting a foot away from my real 55 inch TV, but the screens are 20 feet away for eye comfort. So I can effectively only see one screen at a time as they each nearly fill my vision. As big as they can be without having to turn my neck to see parts of them. The top monitor is tilted down towards me, and basically on the roof. Oh, I should mention I generally play from a recliner when playing desktop games, so even the lower monitor is tilted down to face me.

    When I want to play something in ultra-wide, the virtual screen can be set to 5740x1080 at 120hz(equal to 3 1080p screens side by side, but as one screen, flat or curved to any degree you want), but for the most part anything that works in ultra-wide works in VR, and full VR is likely gonna be the better option.

    Although most of the time I’m playing full VR games and standing to play them. No apparent screens there, just living in the game.













  • My concern is, part of the design of the app is to know when the user is underage and detect when they are sending a nude. While I appreciate them putting a ‘speed bump’ there… detecting that specific event could also be an attack vector. Hopefully, we can trust the company that removed “do no evil” from their mission statement to do no evil here…




  • Yeah, I have a similar thing. Despite my whole household getting sick with something and me not taking precautions, I rarely get any of the symptoms that would come from the immune system doing it’s job, and my symptoms from the disease itself are always mild and short lived. I still take precautions against anything new going around, since my presumption is that even if I have my immune system to thank for this, it can still only protect me against threats it knows.
