Yes, I do have severe deuteranomaly. Diagnosed when I was 6 years old.

I’ve read quite a lot about this, there are many cases where red/green blind people have exhibited above average night vision.

I was also very good at spotting camouflage, since the patterns were designed to fool people with normal colour vision. The only time my colour blindness was a disadvantage was in a contest between regiments, I had to direct artillery fire as fast as possible and the targets were big red boxes in front of the treeline.

Our lieutenant lost his shit when he realized that he had a colour blind forward observer. We still won the contest, my squad handled the measurements impeccably and I verified them on the map. There was discussion of transfering me to other duties after this, but when I asked “Sir, how many big red box targets are there are in real war?” they quickly dropped the issue.

During my military service I also discovered that I had exceptional night vision. I never stumbled in the dark forest and I could even read maps when others couldn’t see shit. I didn’t pay much attention to this quirk, but my commanding officer realized this and put it to good use. The following overnight recon patrols on foot and skis felt endless.

I got my 2 Gen Nano in 2008 and ditched iTunes after day one, EphPod worked just fine.

Few days ago I was talking with my wife about groceries, reminded her about buying more cat food. My daughter was sitting next to me, playing some game on her Android phone. Then she chirped “I got a cat food ad! I’ve never gotten a cat food ad before, ever! It’s like the phone heard what you just said, dad!”

Yep. VPN and Adguard are now installed to every single mobile device in my household.

It’s always a trap. Still, tummy rubs cannot be denied.

I’ve used a Nexus 7 mini-tablet for ten years. It runs on Android 6.0 and has been able to do everything I need from a tablet. It only started to slow down drastically this summer, I guess I’ll have to flash LineageOS to give it a few more years of life.

I have a 62 EU sized head too, fitting hats and comfortable headphones have been pretty hard to find.

For what purpose are you looking the headphones? Gaming, music, watching videos? Closed, semi-open or open models? Wired or wireless?

I bought an earlier model of these ~10 years ago and they have served as reliable and very enjoyable general purpose headphones without any issues. And they have never fallen off, even though they do not clamp very hard on your head.

This. I haven’t had ads since Adblock came out in 2009. I switched to uBlock Origin few years ago, without it browsing would be intolerable.

Last spring I helped a colleague with her work laptop and saw Chrome without adblocker. It was hideous.

I installed uOrigin instantly and got the reputation of “Tech Wizard Who Can Make Ads Go Away”. Turned out that almost no one had ever even heard of this possibility.
