    What’s it pointing at? That is a directional antenna. So it’s trying to talk to something in that direction (either sending or receiving or both).

    Edit: Note that the answer to what it’s pointing at night be vague like “a city”. Imagine a walkie talkie with a directional antenna. It doesn’t need to be pointed directly at who you’re talking to, just the general area would be fine.






  • I don’t know what to tell you. Multiple sites and services asked if I wanted to set up a passkey, every time I got prompted to plug my phone in via USB, and nothing happened when I did. At no point in the process did it give me a QR code or ask me if I wanted to set one up through a password manager instead of a phone. I didn’t do anything special or incorrect. I followed the normal prompts they gave me.








  • I was worried I had testicular torsion but didn’t think my pain was high enough for it, but there’s only so many times you can read stuff like “getting it addressed within X hours has Y% chance of saving the testicle” before you came lol. (It was actually a UTI or something.) The doc told me that it’s a 10, “well, more like an 11.”
