I also do the stick and twist method for opening them, but it always require new adhesive, so not a good solution. I also tried multiple 3d printed jigs for opening but those also didn't work very well

I have about 15 Aquara sensors in my house and had no real issues for the last ~3 years. Only real annoyance with the Aquara ones is that the battery opening mechanism has the worst piece of plastic I have ever seen. I still have not found a reliably way of opening those damn things without breaking the soft plastic. If anyone has found a way to do that I am all ears

I strongly prefer China having access to my personal data than the US.

And what makes you think that the US still has such a system?

Linux is pretty bad at handling out of memory. In my old thinkpad T14 with Mint everything came to a halt when webpack gobbled up my 16GB of ram. Couldnt even move the cursor, stuff just got stuck hard

Considering that I need a good dozen utility apps to override absolutely bonkers macOS design descicions there is no way around that.

I keep jearing this but after years of using MacOS Is still hate the windowing behavior. There is already a way for windowless apps to run - its in the top right corner of my menu bar. Why not use this if you _really_ need windowless apps to run in the background? Also dont get me started on window switching...

But you only need to record your song once and get money forever. Nobody pays me per function invocation in production, that would be very nice

You can also install uBlock Origin on Edge for Android btw.

Edge for Android also has (limited) extension support. It only supports a subset of extensions, but I am using uBlock Origin (full version, although _lite_ is also available), Sponsorblock and Dark Reader for example.

I just unlocked the bootloader on my Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 today (which was a nightmare to do btw.). Why did I unlock it? The device has nice hardware, but is stuck with Android 13 and does not get any security updates either, so flashing a custom ROM is my only chance of having an up-to-date device.

Next step will be to try PostmarketOS and see how that goes

The cursor being captured when hovering buttons is the worst UI I've seen in a very long time

I honestly do not know if I have any screen that supports HDR. At least I've never noticed any improved image quality when viewing HDR video content and compare the image on my M3 Macbook Pro screen vs. an old external IPS monitor. Maybe my eyes are just broken?
