A hole would be something, this is NOTHING!

I hear electric cars all the time, they are not much quieter than an ice car. We don’t need to strap lawn mowers to our cars in the name of safety.

I think I read that Oglaf comic.

I already pay with my watch.

I don’t need anything that is between my phone and my laptop in size.

A lot of shows were “filmed in front of a live studio audience”. I don’t think that makes it better than canned laughs. It affects the pacing of the jokes, where the characters will tell a joke, wait for laughs, tell the next joke, etc. Any time I see that now, it makes the show feel dated, but that doesn’t mean it was a bad show.

I worry about those guys. Musk could just decide he wants to send a mountain of lawyers at them if he got a bee in his bonnet about it.

It is necessary to call it ex-Twitter because “X” is just a variable that needs to be filled in.

Death to Smoochie?

Composing in a text document is the way to go. No point in being distracted by fonts and spacing and non printing characters. Just get it all down and then worry about formatting when you need to print it or whatever.

Can SteamOS be installed on a desktop or is it only for the handhelds?

I have a Synology NAS, and the account you create with them is separate from the ones you create on the device. They couldn’t log into my device. Their account allows for easy integration with their stuff like the dynamic dns or other outside services. I like it because if my internet goes down, I get an email saying they lost connection, which is great for diagnostics.

If I set up my router to block all traffic to them, it would not prevent me from using the device.

This is true. You create a plex account, which allows you to log in from anywhere and will give you access to your media. The real problem is that if your outside internet goes down, you can’t log into your own server.

My first thought was “this is why you use Jellyfin”.

I think I am using the wolf launcher. I have it set up pretty minimally. 95% of the time I just use it to launch Jellyfin.

It is a problem, my shield tv started having ads on the home page, but I was able to install a new launcher on it to fix that.

Overall having a media player plugged in to a disconnected tv is the way to go. It is easier to replace a chromecast than the whole tv.

I have an anecdote that says the opposite. I got the same fridge, washer, and dryer from LG when we moved in our house 10 years ago and have had no problems with any one of them. My wife hates that we got a model with the freezer as a drawer on the bottom and would have preferred a side by side but no problems with anything breaking.

Our Bosch dishwasher on the other hand had a gasket start leaking during the pandemic and it took the repair people 4 or 5 months to get a replacement in. I think they were redesigning a faulty part at the same time as all the supply chain issues so we had a really bad time with that. It was only a couple years old at the time and has worked ever since.

I don’t see ads, so who knows what is in my profile.

Reading this makes me want to find a Linux distribution that does not use the gnu stuff at all.

Good luck proving that your data came from meta sources after you paid.

How about if you have a destination, find me a rest area/restaurant/whatever that is on the route. Not just around somewhere.
