  • In case you own a lot of devices with remotes, you might transform it into a universal remote with an USB C IR dongle. Wouldn’t be my first choice as you’d still need to recharge it so often but I read of such projects.

    Alternatively, you could give it to children for gaming and watching videos. Children are anyway mostly on WiFi and if you equip it with some emulators and ROMs they’ll have tons of funny games without all of these toxic in-app purchases, ads and casino mechanisms.




  • I’m 100% atheist myself but I wouldn’t say that this meme is completely wrong. Sure, there’s no linear correlation as implied but I think religion can help people to see a greater cause in life, deal with difficult situations, connect with other people and have regular patterns in their life. There are numerous alternatives to religion for all that (family, friends, hobbies, sport, meditation, …) but still it’s one valid way I guess.

    The biggest issue I see with religion is that faith is often misused to argue against facts and human rights which is unacceptable. But that critic doesn’t mean that it can’t be supportive for someone in need of support.
