you cut your nails with a knife?

Yeah

like you carve em out?

jesus christ

With a sharp knife you can just cut in a straight line

do you drive a semi truck

They work well

No

i like the aesthetic of knives but i really dont need one

i guess a neat one for home would be alright

At least a few times a week I'll find a use for one

do you need a special tool to sharpen serated edges

Then again I'm autistic about knives

Not sure, I don't have any serrated blades

Thiugh I'd assume I could just use my whetstones

yea you need something like a sharpening rod

Got one of those, don't like how they can scratch the blade though

For my cheap knives I use it

For my good ones I use the whetstones

Not got the time to do all of them the long way

mi band 4 arrived

the music control is so nice

not having music control is the only thing i didnt like about the 3

so its pretty much *perfect* now

Any battery brands for Thinkpads that arent hot garbage? The one I got for my x230 off amazon started failing after a couple months

iirc the brand I bought was "LMK" but that was just a sticker over a "Cloundwind" logo

IMK

@Semi Truck mc Clusterfuck Sup?

I've been summoned.

@I Faw Down Buy a legit one for parts so you can get the charging circuit and replace the cells with crazy autistic flashlight batteries for quintuple battery life with enough amperage to jump start a medium size gas car engine.

Can I not do that with the non-legit battery I already have?

Probably fine

I've got the Lenovo one thats at like 60% of its original charge and the shit one at like 38%

I'm always unreasonably paranoid about cheap Chinese crap when it comes to batteries, since they fail rather catastrophically when they go

oi tims

i was enlightened by the good folks here about xiaomi phones and i was wondering if there was other chink shit that was miles ahead of the game price/perf wise

As long as you take the time to check behavior over a couple charge cycles you should be fine, everyone uses cheap Chinese charging circuits for their projects. Gotta make sure it stops when it's empty/full, and feeds in reasonable amount of volts/amps, but they're less delicate than people make them out to be.

@neetdev Depends. Price/performance, yes, performance alone, ehhh. Whatcha need, gadgets, tools, home decor bullshit, etc?

anything that stands out?

just general qol improvements
