Haha not actually. In Chinese maybe when doctors talk with each other they sometimes will use the English term (by this I mean the Latin/Greek-origin one), but mostly they translate the word bits (morphemes) one by one to Chinese (低血鈉, where 低=low, 血=blood, 鈉=sodium). They never ever use the English term to patients. You won't be able to find anyone in China or Taiwan who knows what "hyponatremia" means unless they're in the medical industry or they're just very good at English.

It's conforting that I wasn't the only one who found this concerning. But anyways I don't have Google (the app; I do have some other Google services installed) or Gemini installed.

I lost it at "root it and install Graphene." GrapheneOS does not work with rooted devices, and rooting is considered a security risk by the Graphene dev team haha.

Can anyone explain why this post is funny to me? I don't know much about Interstellar.

loled at how the name of the Chinese guy is just "generic Chinese name" put into Google Translate

Yes, haha, I saw your other comment about this off-by-one issue. Interesting that it happens at all.

Is there any specific reason to using 31 random characters instead of 32?

Thank you! I'll try that out.

I haven't ever touched a steam deck either, but I would assume that games on the steam deck just work without any tinkering with the shell.

last I checked you can disable that? or has that changed?

Offtopic, but do you think it's better to use HTTPS for non-public web services that must be accessed through ssh?

因噎廢食 (īnyēfèishí)

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%9B%A0%E5%99%8E%E5%BB%A2%E9%A3%9F

This is a Chinese proverb meaning "to avoid something essential because of a slight risk of making a mistake." Literally it means "to not eat due to the risk of choking on food."

Remove text on TPE phone case? (lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz)

Hi. When I got a new phone a couple weeks ago, it came with this really nice, name-brand (not giving names here) phone case. It's really rugged and feels great on the hands. It's also one of the most premium phone-case options out there.

Unfortunately, the case is plastered with the text: Pixel. The only phone engineered by Google. I really don't enjoy being a walking advertisement for Google, but leaving such a great case lying around is quite a pity.

So I wanted to ask if there's a way to remove the text that would not damage the case itself?

The case is made of TPE plastic according to its packaging. I thought about just scratching it off cause it does seem to be some kind of layer on top of the case, but I'm worried it won't be removed cleanly and might even leave behind scratches.

Is there another way? Is there some kind of solvent able to do this job?

Here's a closeup if that helps.

Thanks!

Edit: I have decided to uncensor the words.
