  • I've enjoyed Penguin too, despite some hammy genre tropes and going into it prepared for disappointment. I keep forgetting that it's Colin Farrell under prosthetics. I just watched him in Sugar recently and still had to double check he was actually in the role when the first ep started. Anyway, I decided I was sold on it when

    "Me and the Devil"

    played during the outro of this week's episode, what a banger. Same as the episode of Sugar that played

    "Da Funk" lol

    I remember my sister got an S5 when they came out and cracked the screen within a couple of weeks. She had dropped it onto her car seat, it bounced and hit the plastic armrest. It was inside the slim folding case they came bundled with at the time. Might be anecdotal and nitpicky, but for a device that expensive to break with such little force was disappointing to say the least. I think it was a combo of poor reinforcement of the front glass due to its design + older gen Gorilla Glass (as well as somewhat careless use of course).

    To flash a custom rom, IIRC you had to unlock the bootloader and even after relocking, Knox wouldn't work so the warranty would be void. And without VoLTE or current Android support, it'd be barely usable today. On the whole, it only really stands out in the context of later Galaxy S devices not having user-replaceable batteries. Samsung still sucked at the time, just less so in that particular area.

    The only really good Galaxy S device for its time was the S2. Snappiest Android experience from any vendor & it wasn't even close. S3 was where they started coasting downhill.

    They did free concerts and actively organised against Ticketmaster's efforts to suppress that, but yeah the music itself is reasonably trash. Silverchair did their sound better on Frogstomp, and they were still in high school at the time.




  • what kind of editing jobs? my ideapad is reasonably new and can export 1080p re-encodes or clips in shotcut quite quickly, but if I add video filters it slows right down. i have a couple of older thinkpads (gen 2 ryzen + an older i7 model) and they're slower.

    keep in mind video editing tools are not that great at utilising discrete gpus on linux generally so in my case its best to select for a good cpu

    it overheats in the sense that it gets hot but doesn't throttle or shut down, not a big deal if you use it on a lap desk or other flat surface

  • gila@lemm.eetoneurodiverseAnyone taking atomoxetine?

    I 100% feel this too, my supposition is that it's causally related to blood pressure, as atomoxetine can increase it. I would get emotional whenever I drank alcohol, which also raises it. Not so after going on clonidine. Initially I thought it was like an optional extra to take as needed (it's common and cheap) but now i consider it my primary medication

    Thanks! Appetite suppression is a side-effect, desired in my case of comorbid binge-eating disorder.

    Clonidine is a common anti-hypertension med also used off label for ADHD. It mildly sedates me and makes me go to bed on time, which is difficult for me while on atomoxetine without it. The slight calming effect lasts with me through the following day.

    I started on 18mg daily, currently on 60mg, and even that is apparently not a "full dose"

    The ED (and urinary hesitancy) sucks. I've stopped taking it a few times over the past couple years but always eventually went back on it of my own accord.

    On those occasions I had just reflected on my general mood during the periods of being on it vs off it and found that I was always generally happier & prepared to deal with life's adversity while on it.

    It definitely takes some consistency to get there I think, so I'd recommend sticking with it to just see how it goes after a full course of full doses.

    I take clonidine at night too which has been essential for me.

    I can't really relate to the brain fog thing tbh, that's how I felt before going on it.

    Also I lost about 70lb excess weight while on it without trying.

    Besides, phones are incredibly cheap now. I dropped my pixel 7 in a river a few weeks ago so I went to Walmart and asked for the cheapest android burner they had. For $100 it has a 90hz display, snapdragon 680, 5000mAh battery. I don't need any upgrade from this
