  • Honey being one of them, it did start as a simple addon that gathered and automatically tried coupon codes for you. It did exactly what people expected it to do.

    But obviously once you start getting hundreds of millions in venture capital funds, and eventually sell yourself to Paypal for 4 billion, it’s clear that isn’t all you are doing any more.

    I did assume in the end that it stole all my shopping data, and probably bunch of browsing history in general, which is why I had it installed in a separate browser, but I didn’t expect it to be doing affiliate hacking and blackmailing partner deals for the coupons.



  • From experience printing a bunch of different planters with varying settings and printers, without post-processing/sealing the answer is “not reliably”. You can increase your chances by using many perimeters and surface layers, high heat, and thicc extrusions, but you are still just stacking swiss cheese slices on top of each other hoping the holes don’t line up.

    With days submerged, even the tiniest of defects means water can and will seep in.











  • Few things:
    The Deck can’t support 65W charging either. It prefers, and maxes out, at a 45W charge, specifically 15V@3A. It can charge using 12/9/5V standards as well, but obviously does so slower.
    5V charging is only recommended while the deck is off/sleeping as there is a batch with bad charging chips that can overheat and burn out otherwise (as it has to boost the 5V up to 7.4V and above for the battery)

    Slower chargers still work even while gaming - they just extend the time it takes to drain.

    If a powebank advertises mAh, it’s using the nominal voltage of a single lithium cell, 3.6 or 3.7V. If they use Wh (and aren’t blatant scams), then that’s the only thing that matters. What you get out is always less, due to the conversion losses.

    LCD has a 40Wh battery, OLED has 50Wh. Get at least 20% more if you truly want a full charge.

    The deck has power passthrough, once it’s full it uses the charger only. Sometimes this means it “refuses” to charge to 100% and instead stops just shy, that’s kinda normal.
