Reddit – As Seen Through PeriVision https://www.perivision.net/wordpress An Mobile centric blog ... Full of Tech goodness Thu, 03 May 2018 04:43:39 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 4666035 First video evidence (I’ve seen) of self driving car avoiding an accident https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2015/10/first-video-evidence-ive-seen-of-self-driving-car-avoiding-an-accident/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2015/10/first-video-evidence-ive-seen-of-self-driving-car-avoiding-an-accident/#respond Thu, 29 Oct 2015 20:56:40 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=9928 Read More]]> From Reddit of course: https://www.reddit.com/r/nonononoyes/comments/3qp2h7/tesla_autopilot/

From Reddit of course: https://www.reddit.com/r/nonononoyes/comments/3qp2h7/tesla_autopilot/

All this talk about self driving cars causing accidents, very little about how they avoid them and save lives.  So here is the first video clip of a real world situation where a Tesla avoided an accident by stopping way faster than I could have.  Also note, its wet.  So if a human was driving, there would be a possibly that the human would swerve the car as well, potentially causing another accident. (click the thumbnail to start the gifv.)

ALSO, the car was smart enough not to follow the idiot driver and ‘teach them a lesson’.  Which does bring me to one concern.  How long will it be until someone decide to hack their car to do just that?  Say someone cuts you off; the car can use object recognition to track and follow the other car and then bump them off the road.

Right now, our autonomous cars do not have a voice, but I already know what to expect having grown up with Eddie Murphy comedy.

A Reddit Grill Cheese Melt Down – NSFW https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2014/12/a-reddit-grill-cheese-melt-down-nsfw/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2014/12/a-reddit-grill-cheese-melt-down-nsfw/#respond Wed, 10 Dec 2014 00:46:27 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=9674 Read More]]> So sweet. I had to login to Reddit just to upvote the rant and comment.  Instead of reprinting the text, I screenshot it for justice.   The basics of this is someone ranting, and rightly so, that a grilled cheese is ONLY bread and cheese.  You add anything else and its a melt.  Now one may argue that the single exception is a slice of tomato, but don’t tell OP that, he will jump down your throat. However, its not the rant that is gold, but the first comment and reply.  And now, the screenshot.  Yes, its small, click on it to make it large, or just read the post.  BTW, I’m guilty too as soon here in ‘how to make the perfect midnight grilled cheese‘.

Reddit down? BLAME OBAMA! Yup, he’s doing an IAMA https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2012/08/reddit-down-blame-obama-yup-hes-doing-an-iama/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2012/08/reddit-down-blame-obama-yup-hes-doing-an-iama/#respond Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:01:25 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=7772 Read More]]> I have been trying to get into Reddit since the started and its totally down. Check out the post from venturebeat with more info in case you do not know what IAMA means.  Normally, unless you are a Redditor, you would not even know about this and thus, “I” would be able to see this. However, the Prez decided to send out a tweet.  And there you go.  Reddits down..  and still down.  Also, I cannot imagine Obama is getting many questions answered.  He could blocked out just like the rest of us.

…and its done.  Here is a really rough Obama iama transcript you can look at until reddit comes back.

outtakes from the VB …

Ever wondered what it would be like to be the President of the United States of America? Kind of like Barack Obama? Well, head over to Reddit because the POTUS with the mostest is doing an “Ask Me Anything,” or AMA.

The President tweeted from his official Twitter today, “Hey, everyone: I’ll be taking your questions online today. Ask yours here: http://OFA.BO/gBof44  -bo”

Indeed, he even signed it “-bo,” which is the President’s official signal that the tweet did not come from an assistant handling his Twitter, but from the man himself.

Obama started off the AMA with a not about Hurricane Isaac, which is currently hitting the Gulf and Southeastern regions of the United States. He also included this verification photo, though sadly it does not include a piece of paper handwritten with his name and date on it.

We’ve reached out to Reddit for comment and will update the post upon hearing back.

Spreading rumors through the Apple community, a clinical approach https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2012/08/spreading-rumors-through-the-apple-community-a-clinical-approach/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2012/08/spreading-rumors-through-the-apple-community-a-clinical-approach/#respond Mon, 13 Aug 2012 23:29:18 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=7693 Read More]]> The news is moving through the blogs now, so I will assume you already know that the ‘new’ asymmetric screw was a fake.  This happen quite a bit with Apple, especially around new iphone / ipad releases. But what was different about this rumor was the post analysis by the guys who started the rumor in the first place.

Check out the Day4 blog for more detail, but here is the basic summery.

They created a fake fact, an asymmetric, mocked it up in CADD and then emailed an image to themselves.  They then uploaded this to Reddit.  And waited. It did not take long.  12 hours in fact.

Less than 12 hours later it had happened. First came Apple blog Cult of Mac, who reported ”Apple May Be Working On A Top Secret Asymmetric Screw To Lock You Out Of Your Devices Forever” and then it just went on. More and more blogs wrote about the alleged leaks from Apple headquarters in Cupertino, USA. Yahoo, Wired and MacWorld jumped on. On Twitter, numerous posts raged about the issue. On YouTube, people made video blogs about the new screw. Google + talked about it page after page. Try it yourself, go to www.google.se and search on ”asymmetric screw”.

What is interesting is that many posts were skeptical in the beginning, but as the rumor moved further from the source, and more people were commenting about its impact, and less about its validity, the less the validity was even called into question.

The split between the two camps, was quite unequal. An estimate would be that 90% regarded the screw as a fact and based all the further opinion on that, only 10% were critical to accuracy.

I want to call out Eric_E for calling BS on this. An upvote for you good sir.

[–]Eric_E 94 points ago

I’m going call shenanigans. I deal with fruit company tools and reverse engineering them. When a new screw comes out, I start taking microscope photos of it, and consulting with tool manufacturers on how to defeat it. This would be difficult to use in a mass production setting (driver alignment and bit life in a factory). The fastener could also be defeated with a Flathead screwdriver, since it has so asymmetrical lobes that enough line up close enough to bridge across. A Pentalobe fastener cannot be defeated this way, there is no place to bridge across with a different type of driver.

70 tips of real life cheat codes from Reddit https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2012/06/70-tips-of-real-life-cheat-codes-from-reddit/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2012/06/70-tips-of-real-life-cheat-codes-from-reddit/#comments Thu, 07 Jun 2012 03:55:34 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=7320 Read More]]> This is a cool post I just read on Reddit (OP link). Check out the links, they mostly go back to the original authors. If you like something, go back and give them an upvote.

Here is a compilation of the top 80 70 real life cheat codes written by reddit community.

The original submission created 2 years ago by Lurial

Number Cheat
#1 Permalink Stop: Stop: Play. Skip advertisements in movies and go strait to the movie.
#2 Permalink Dial 0 during most automatic menu phone systems to be taken to operator to route your call. also, mashing buttons may work as well. Whenever you have a voice automated phone system, typically saying “representative” gets you someone right away. Update In regards to Cheat Code # 2 I recommend this site: http://gethuman.com/
#3 Permalink keep a spare car key in your wallet/purse. If you have a bulky Key that won’t fit in your wallet, get a key made that doesn’t have the electronic chip on it. It will still unlock the car, it just won’t start it. changed by popular request Risk Update: if your wallet is stolen they have your car key. All they need to do is go to your house some time later and take your car out of your driveway.
#4 Permalink Riding a bicycle will save you lots of money on gas, parking, medical bills, and gym memberships.
#5 Permalink If you are speeding and suddenly up ahead see a cop that clearly just tagged you, slow down and wave to him/her. Your odds of being pulled over are quite a bit reduced.
#6 Permalink Don’t be rude, but NEVER answer any cops questions when they call you in for questioning.
#7 Permalink when getting lectured into voice mail, hit 1, pause momentarily. If you aren’t put through immediately, hit *, pause. Finally, hit # if neither 1 or * worked. It is called the 1-star-pound technique, and it works for all cell carriers.
#8 Permalink If your credit card magnetic stripe starts to get worn from use and being in your wallet, and doesn’t always read in the card reader, you can use the plastic bag trick. Put the card in a plastic grocery bag and then swipe it. Not sure why it works, but it does.Taking it further though, you can simply apply a piece of quality cellophane tape over the mag stripe for a “permanent” plastic bag trick.
#9 Permalink At the end of your shower turn the water really (or all the way) cold. This will wake you up and get blood flowing. Update 9: It also closes your pores to allow for less dirt and bacteria to get in to help reduce acne problems.
#10 Permalink Macy’s credit cards usually have a 20% discount on purchases. I pay with the Macy’s card, then while still at the register, I immediately pay off the charge with my debit card. I just got 20% off my purchase and I never get a credit card bill. – this also works with JCP and kohl’s cards.
#11 Permalink When you buy something online, you usually get a chance to enter a promo code before you purchase. Google the promo codes. They’re out there – you can get anything from free shipping to 25% off the purchase.
#12 Permalink Turn it off, then on again.
#13 Permalink Buy things out of season, this can save you money. Unless its food, then buy it in season.
#14 Permalink When you have forgotten someones name, simply say : “I’m sorry, but what was your name one more time.” They may act offended, but when they give you there first name you simply reply “No, I meant your last name.” (more socially acceptable to forget). Bingo. First and last names.
#15 Permalink When eating buffalo wings, the flat portions. You can detach the smaller bone on one end very easily, then twist it a bit and it will just slide out. You’re now left with a big hunk of meat and only 1 bone, you can just bite it off into your mouth in one piece, flintstones-style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRcOY-PvOC8
#16 Permalink Gently work an orange in your hands to loosen the peel from the fruit. This makes it easy enough to get the whole peel in one shot.
#17 Permalink Can’t find your car in a parking lot? hitting the lock button trying to get it to beep? Extend the distance of key-less entry by putting the key under your chin. The signal will resonate in your skull increasing the range dramatically. I swear to god this works, and I’m told it’s safe because the radiation is non-ionizing. verification notice from ddrt via AskReddit sent 20 hours ago 9 is called the scottish shower. Just sayin’ EDIT: I just tried #17 holy shit it works!
#18 Permalink If you get a ticket on the windshield of your car, you can potentially get away with parking illegally in the same lot for the rest of the day by keeping the ticket on your windshield. edited reduced from a few days for a single day.
#19 Permalink Most tinfoil and saran wrap boxes have little push-in tabs on the sides. If you push them in, the roll won’t fall out when you try to rip out a sheet of it.
#20 Permalink Keep a list of all of the credit card phone numbers (1-800) in your cell phone. This way, if your wallet is ever lost, you can call them immediately to have them disabled. It’s also a good idea to place all of the cards in your wallet on a copier and print a page to keep at home. This will give you access to your License #, etc. Update: You should update 20. If you lose your wallet.. as in misplace it.. put a hold on your credit cards. Do NOT cancel. If you cancel it can later show up on your credit report. If you believe you are going to find it later, placing a hold saves you the red mark on your report.
#21 Permalink If you are driving an unfamiliar car and you don’t know which side the gas tank is on, just look at the little pump icon next to the gas gauge on the dashboard. The pump handle on the icon will be on the side of the tank. Update: saw the gas tank one on an older reddit, turns out the handle thing is not consistant. But there IS usually a little arrow next to the icon. Second Update 99% of the time the gas door is opposite of the tailpipe. So far, I have only found that early-mid 2000 Pontiac Vibes break this trend. Third update if there is no arrow, then it most likely is on the passenger’s side. I’ve yet to see one without an arrow that wasn’t on the passenger’s side
#22 Permalink this tip was unpopular, so im changing it This one changed my life. If you’re at home/work/party or GOD forbid your girlfriend’s house and the toilet starts to overflow, take the lid off the back reservoir part and lift the long handle as far up as it will go. The water will stop rising and then you can quietly mutter curses at it till it goes back down (which it does, more often than not…) link to a Diagram: http://superhomeideas.com/images/toilet.gif
#23 Permalink to peel a boiled egg, roll it around on your plate for a while until all of the eggshell is cracked evenly. Then it’s easy to remove the complete shell at once. After you boil eggs immediately place them in ice cold water for a few minutes. No vinegar or salt or oil or whatever people use. Shells slip right off
#24 Permalink you spill any liquid that will stain on your carpet (red wine, juice, etc), pour some salt on it. Work it into the carpet – just rub it in with your hands. Leave it there for a few hours (for serious stains, up to a day) and vacuum it out. Voila, stain gone.
#25 Permalink If you park in a large parking garage/shopping centre, get out and take a photo on your cell phone of the nearest parking sign (Area B2, etc). You will never lose your car again.
#26 Permalink If you drive stick and the battery s dead, get some friends, put the key to the on position, put the car in 2nd and push the clutch down. have your friends push your car. when you get a decent speed going let the clutch up. (this is called “Popping the clutch.” your car with start and you can drive around for a while to recharge your battery(provided nothing is wrong with the battery or the alternator). Update thanks for the input guys, i switched it from 1st gear to 2nd gear.
#27 Permalink Tapping on the top of a beer or soda can will make it fizz less!
#28 Permalink Peel a banana from the bottom, which is one of /r/sciences 2nd highest scoring link of all time! http://www.reddit.com/r/science/top/?t=all
#29 Permalink 4,2,3,1 — Vending machine cheat code. (As in, the vertical buttons machines, like this one http://i.imgur.com/9jJTG.jpg ). will grant access to vending machine’s diagnostic menu. most times the fun features are disabled, but i’ve gotten a free powerade and a couple cokes in the past.
#30 Permalink use this at your own risk *Re: #30, I worked as a parking enforcement officer during college and we can tell when it’s fake. The fine for this offense (at the university I worked at) was $250, and usually a ban from parking at the university (i.e., booted or towed on sight).* College Parking Cheat Code: Anyone who’s gone to a college or university knows they usually charge a ridiculous amount of money for parking (usually $300+ for a semester pass or $10+ for the daily passes), a service that should fucking be free for students considering the high cost of education. Fuck them. Buy one daily pass at the beginning of the school year (usually a small paper ticket printed out a machine on the lot), take it home and scan it, photoshop the date for tomorrow, and print. Repeat for the next 4 years. Anyone with even the most rudimentary photoshop skills can pull this off convincingly. Even if your printer is shitty, from behind the tint and glare of a car windshield, it might as well be a 7-11 receipt. I did this for 2 years at a UC and saved hundreds of dollars.

The new list of real-life cheat codes based on the top scoring comments from both the new list created by MrCassiBro and the old list

Number Cheat
#31 Permalink When you go to a restaurant where they bring you your drink in a cup/glass, ask for no ice or for ice on the side. Often what they do is load your drink with ice so that it seems as if there’s more in there, especially at bars.
#32 Permalink When you pour soda, pour it along the side of the cup instead of directly into it – like they do at bars. This keeps alot of the “fizzyness” in the drink and as a result, it keeps a lot of the texture and flavor.
#33 Permalink If you need to withdraw more money than your limit, if you do it quickly enough, you can withdraw your limit twice from the same ATM and sometimes the one next to it before it stops you from withdrawing any more.
#34 Permalink If you back up the toilet at work or someones house with no plunger available, look for liquid hand soap. Dump some in the toilet and wait about five minutes and flush again. The soap lubricates the nasties so they’ll flush away. If its still clogged, find a way to dump hot water in the toilet, as it can have the same effect. Use the trash can or something. If its still clogged, kick the door open and run like hell. Find a new job or new friends. You just left their toilet full of hot soapy shit soup, you asshole.
#35 Permalink When I am in a large shopping centre (mall) I take a photo of the information board on my phone so I can look up how to get to stores without having to go back to the board
#36 Permalink When commenting on something, whether it be reddit, facebook, etc. finish typing your comment, stop, re-read it twice and then ask yourself what you are trying to accomplish with said comment before posting.
#37 Permalink When you finish showering, use your hand as a squeegee(?) To get excess water off your body. It makes drying much faster and your towel will also be dry sooner.
#38 Permalink Don’t be a dick
#39 Permalink if you gently rock back and forth while pooping it will take significantly less time and make it easier to pass more “troublesome” movements. Best. Lifehack. Ever.
#40 Permalink Try and get in good with the clerks/secretaries of where ever you work or do business. Those are the people who can most easily cover your ass when you fuck up.
#50 Permalink 1st Date Cheat Code for MEN: Never tell a girl where you’re going or how to dress. Instead, tell her to “dress for a first date with a guy she really likes”. Now, pick three places you’d like to go: someplace fun and active (bowling, pool, mini golf, go-kart racing, ballgame, etc), something romantic and classy (nice restaurant, upscale lounge, art gallery opening) and something in between (nice bar, coffee shop, comedy club). Now, when you pick her up, let the way she’s dressed decide which you’re going to do: If she’s wearing something sexy and revealing (dress, high heels, low cut top, etc.) than she wants to go somewhere classy and romantic. If she’s sporting some jeans, tennis shoes or flip-flops, and a tee, the bowling ally or pool hall may be a good bet. If she’s wearing jeans, high heeled boots, and nice top or blouse, than she’s not really jonesing for the super romance treatment, and she put in more effort than mini golf deserves (eighteen holes of mini golf in heels… seriously?), so a comedy club or some place with live music is a good choice. And never, EVER, do a movie on the first date! EDIT: Men: You’re going to wear a pair of CLEAN, NEAT jeans, a pressed stylish LONG sleeve button down shirt, nice shoes or boots (try to avoid tennis shoes of sneakers). Works for ANY occasion!
#51 Permalink If you don’t know if a baby is a boy or a girl ask the baby “Whats your name?” And the parent will answer. That way no angry mom or dad getting mad because you cant tel because they dress there baby in green.
#52 Permalink Wear a condom
#53 Permalink On flights, if you are fighting for an arm rest with a stranger. bring your arm (the one thats on the same side the arm rest you want) up to your mouth and sneeze/cough. Then place it by the armrest. The other person will move their arm. Has had 100% success rate.
#53 Permalink To stop a sneeze, tickle the roof of your mouth with your tongue.
#55 Permalink Avoid forgetting something in the morning by placing it in your shoes. (works best if you wear the same pair every day.)
#56 Permalink Give yourself half an hour of downtime in the morning, between being ready to leave and leaving, and your day won’t feel so rushed.
#57 Permalink Simply put: Don’t ever overlay your reality onto someone else’s reality. Example: Person A: “Oh man, I’m having a really hard time recently, I can’t seem to get along with my mom.” Person B: “Yeah, I know how that is, I just talked to my mom yesterday, and she was like….” etc. Let Person A reflect on their moment of hardship, stand back, listen, be there for them, but don’t interject with your own thoughts/emotions about your own situation.
#58 Permalink When you’re talking to someone and can’t tell if they are interested in the subject/their mind is elsewhere, cross your arms. If they cross theirs as well, they are truly listening.
#59 Permalink Men of all shapes and sizes: Wear clothing that fits. Nothing looks trashier than a guy wearing a shirt two sizes too big or a pair of uncomfortable looking pants. This applies to fat guys too, don’t try to hide your flub by wearing large t-shirts and jackets as they only make you look bigger! Instead get fitted and wear clothing that fits you.
#60 Permalink Listen to music when doing stuff by yourself, it will make the most mundane task feel awesome.
#61 Permalink If you want to get into a sold out concert simply go to the store and buy two bags of ice. Walk up to the front of the line and say, “I’m the ice guy”. Free concert, minus the price of the ice.
#62 Permalink If you are quitting something e.g. smoking, drinking etc. Everytime you feel the urge to do said addiction : Go for a run, do 20 sit ups, 20 push ups etc. This way you can start to associate exercise with quitting and you get fitter the more you quit which can make you feel better
#63 Permalink Shut the fuck up. Wait for the lawyer.
#64 Permalink No matter where you are in public, make it a habit of noting every reflective surface around you. Usually you can find one that gives a decent view of who is behind you. If you’re at work, strategically place cds or other reflective objects so you can always see whose standing behind you in your cube.
#65 Permalink ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A
#66 Permalink Don’t waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.
#67 Permalink Before you take a dookie, throw in a piece or two of toilet paper in the toilet bowl to reduce/avoid splasing and that kerplunk noise.
#68 Permalink Women can push the poop out with their fingers properly inserted into their vagina.
#69 Permalink If you’re shaving your balls, try to maintain an erection during the entire shave. The whole job is a lot easier with your penis out of the way.
#70 Permalink If you have crushing chest pain, call 911 first. Then chew some aspirin. I work in cardiology.
#71 Permalink When you eat hard shell taco’s, do it over your nachos. That way when they disintegrate, you can eat the bits you lost with your nachos.
#72 Permalink If you need to store cookies or pastries for a few days in a tupperware or other type of container, to prevent them from getting dry and brittle, put a piece of bread in the container right along with the cookies. It will keep them very soft and moist. Sometimes, if you burn the cookies a little and they seem very tough and crunchy, leaving them in a container with the bread over night will actually soften them up and make them better than when they came out of the oven!
#73 Permalink Kill a boner within 30 seconds by squeezing your thighs together really tight. (Guys only).
#74 Permalink Walk on the sides of stairs to avoid/reduce creaks.
#75 Permalink Talk to everyone like you would your best mate, and smile.
#76 Permalink Sprinkle some salt on your napkin coaster at the bar.. your beer won’t stick to it EVERY FUGGIN TIME….
#77 Permalink To get through tech support quickly with an ISP, choose the option for becoming a new customer. Then when you get there ask to transfer to tech support. Usually they won’t put you on hold because they see the number coming from the new customer line.
#78 Permalink Pull on your hair in the shower, if it squeaks you already shampooed it.
#79 Permalink Don’t announce that you are having a kid till the second trimester.
#80 Permalink When studying arts at university, take notes on your prof’s political/philosophical ideologies and worldviews. Regurgitate in essays and on exams for an A grade. Also, margins, font, font size, etc. are incredibly important. Never neglect these.
#81 Permalink Never include #41-#49 in a list of real-life cheat codes on reddit.

Funny Meme posters from the Ocean Marketing Fail https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2011/12/funny-meme-posters-from-the-ocean-marketing-fail/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2011/12/funny-meme-posters-from-the-ocean-marketing-fail/#comments Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:14:23 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=6452 Read More]]> This is so funny.  First off, you need to know what this Ocean Marketing fail is in the first place.

tl;dr  This (1man?) marketing shop that represents a game controller failed to keep a customer informed about a shipment date miss.  After 3 times the customer started to get angry about the lake of information.  Then Dave from Ocean unleashed a very poorly written set of emails as him and this customer went back and forth. Customer said he would share this with the web; Dave laughed and said he has tons of connection and no one will listen to him.. He was wrong.

The full story can be read here (venturebeat) and here (penny-arcade – where it started)

So of course, reddit, which helped spread the word, could not leave something this juicy alone, so I present to you; some wonderful meme posters.  BTW, there are Videos as well..

BTW, I’m trying to provide link backs to all the images I find, but I have not idea if they are original or not, so please help me out if a linkback I’m using should be corrected.

How to use your iphone as glasses and flashlight or I really need to post faster https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2011/12/how-to-use-your-iphone-as-glasses-and-flashlight-or-i-really-need-to-post-faster/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2011/12/how-to-use-your-iphone-as-glasses-and-flashlight-or-i-really-need-to-post-faster/#respond Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:48:39 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=6329 Read More]]> I’m a reddit lurker. I’ll fess that now. I came across a pretty good comic on how to use your iphone instead of your glasses in the morning, or my case, when I misplace them.. Which I do often. I thought, ‘the world must know!’  Instead, I got sidetracked by work and other life stuff and didn’t got around to it. 2 days later, another tech blog beat me to the punch.  DAMN you full time bloggers!  Ah well.

Here it is anyway.  Next step, I need to find the original post to give credit. I emailed the link to myself but not the post.. Fail.

Another good tip is to use your iphone as a flash light. Most people know that you can get enough light just from the screen being on to see, however one time we were out shopping at the power went out.  Next thing you know, everyone took out their cell phones and kept on shopping. A few people, myself included, knew to crank up the camera app and turn on the standby flash.  It was quite the sight being in a dead black store with no windows and 50 some people walking around using just cell phones.  Spooky in a way.  The power but dammit, they NEED TO SHOP!!

Better ways to read Reddit on a poor connection. Esp for tethered ipad users. https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2011/11/better-ways-reddit-tethered-ipad-users/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2011/11/better-ways-reddit-tethered-ipad-users/#respond Thu, 10 Nov 2011 01:15:28 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=6104 Read More]]> This is very cool. I should have thought of this.  So one thing that slows me down on Reddit is reading Reddit on my ipad while tethered to my iphone on the train. Its not a fast connection, so the constant going back and forth is somewhat of a pain.

Well go to redditlurker.com and feel the win.

First credit where credit is due.  Seems that felixmm was having connection speed issues as I do but as the Bau5 that he is, decided to code something up real quick to deal with it.  Here is the OP (original post)

Now this is not the first customization for reading Reddit. There is ragecollection.com which seems to do the same thing, the redditenhancementsuite.com although I have heard some complaints about not remembering links, and pics.fefoo.com which seems to work pretty well on the ipad.

I’m sure there are plenty more that I just do not know about, and of the three I listed, each has its ups and downs, but at the very least, if you are on a weak connection, any of these should make Reddit reading or lurking far less painful.

History of rage faces https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2011/08/history-of-rage-faces/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2011/08/history-of-rage-faces/#comments Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:07:12 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=5825 Read More]]> I don’t know whats up with me but  I have been writing a lot about rage faces lately.  Perhaps because work has been more busy then normal so I have not had the energy to write like I normally. Do. Anyway, I came across the History of Rage Faces on Reddit and thought I would share. I took a screenshot of the first 1/2, you can see the rest by going to the actual reddit post.  If you know some of the Rage face history, help him out.

Now I have no idea how accurate this is, so take it at rage face value.

I’m bored at work and I want to make an all-inclusive rage-face timeline, but I need your help. from fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

Share and Enjoy !
