I thought it was kinda interesting how much time I've spent using my dry herb vape. That's 29 straight days. Definitely not a-tier content sorry

I have a pax and a couple of dynavaps plus a ton of weed that's just sitting because i keep grabbing disposables from secret nature. I hate that it's so convenient.

I use a Carta 2, and the little session counter stopped going up after like 3300. That was like 5 years ago lol. The USB port doesn't charge anymore so I need to use wireless charging, but other than that, the thing is a beast.

I haven't smoked cannabis in nearly a decade

I haven't plugged the thing into a computer since I bought it and was told I needed to update the firmware, but I'm kind of curious if it has accurate stats about my usage...

I have no idea what the internals of a Carta 2 looks like but the DIY repair nerd in me is like "you could probably replace that USB port" lol. Sounds easy when you don't have to take the actual device into account

It's actually a website that I have saved as a PWA (proggressive web app) that connects to it via bluetooth so it's so much worse

Hey good job with all those hours! hehe

I have over 10000 (which is over 9000!) heatups on my switch2. and it's fun to consider how many hours I put in my tinymight2. (broke one and eventually replaced)

it it's not a small amount. huehuehue

Why is that worse?

I upgraded my PS4 controller from usb micro to USB c

vape should be easy, not as easy but still easy

I'd end up breaking the thing, for sure.

I've already gotten my moneys worth of the thing, and much more. If the wireless charging stopped working, I'd prob just buy a new device.

Not cheap, but man it was a game changer. Concentrates are very affordable as well if you're willing to fuck around a bit with Monero and Tor

Cause they have 5-6 frameworks just to press a button and read an integer.

And each of these frameworks has hardware level access, and probably started its life as surveillance software.

The pax is amazing 😍

Throw a fresh citrus peel in the jar of bud, let it sit for a day, then try it.

The moisture makes it so smooth and tasty.

That's all true for native apps as well.

I don't know how much is GrapheneOS related, but on the PWAs I have installed, I can grant and revoke permissions.

Its also mandatory. You literally have no other way of controlling your Vape other than through the app.

The Rest of Storz & Bickels Products is fine tho (although they are quite expensive)

You're not installing a browser just for your vape, its already installed. 5-6 frameworks is true for just about any piece of software on the market. Calling everything surveillance software is really dismissive.
