I can't live without Reddit because I am a stereotypical millennial girl who is glued to her phone, I am going to die of boredom on June 12, 2023!!

Mobile Hotspot

Feature on all modern iPhones and Android devices that allows your phone to use 4G LTE or 5G and transmit a WiFi signal that 5 - 20 devices can connect to. Usually has a limit of 5 - 50 GB per month depending on carrier and data plan.

I'm setting up the Mobile Hotspot so we can use the WiFi without the router because we are moving and the WiFi router is at the other house.

The Great Reddit Armageddon of 2023

On June 12 - 14, 2023, thousands of Reddit communities will go on strike by becoming private due to the increasing price of the Reddit API (now $12,000/50M requests), driving third-party Reddit clients like Apollo out of business. Apollo estimates that they will have to pay $20 million annually to afford their user base of 680,000 people, which made Apollo developer Christian Selig shut the app down on June 30, 2023. Reddit Is Fun, ReddPlanet, and Sync will also shut down on June 30th. Some subreddits have also decided to not reopen on June 14, and instead close indefinitely until Reddit Inc. reverses the decision.

Will Reddit recover financially from The Great Reddit Armageddon of 2023? We will never know, because Reddit is a private company, therefore they do not have tradable stock or a stock price. But I highly doubt it.

PKCELL

PKCELL is a brand of battery owned by Shenzhen PKCELL Battery Co Ltd., founded in 1998 and produces AA, AAA, C, D, rechargeable Ni-Cd / Ni-MH, Lithium-ion rechargeables, 9V batteries, coin batteries, zinc-air hearing aid batteries, and cordless phone batteries. The most common type of PKCELL batteries you will find are "Extra heavy duty" (Zinc-Carbon), of which these PKCELLs manufactured before 2014 have a forest green background with silver 𝙋𝙆𝘾𝙀𝙇𝙇 written on them. PKCELL "Extra heavy duty" PKCELLs from 2014 to today have a blue background, yellow at the positive end, and the K consists of an uppercase I and red lightning bolt.
This brand of battery was made famous by DankPods, who found the green ones in a Patreon after-show from October 22, 2020 (the iCoustic iPod Nano 7th gen dock), and said that "If the PKCELLs work, I dedicate my whole life to only using PKCELL battrees." When DankPods turned on the crappy dock, the PKCELLs proceeded to work, and Dank said "AAAH! The P-oh no now I have to use PKCELLs forever." In future DankPods videos, the PKCELLs were placed to the left of the 2007 iMac stand. When the PKCELLs roll off of the iMac stand, DankPods will say "Oh my PKCELL" and put the PKCELL back, spawning a meme of calling any obscure brand of battery a "battree" (see r/battrees on Reddit). DankPods has also put the yellow/blue redesigned PKCELLs next to the OG green ones.
