I’m gonna take this opportunity to plug the nuknives u23. As a lefty, finding a utility blade knife that is lefty friendly is near impossible. This thing fits the bill with flying colors. Bonus: They sell tons of replacement parts, should you damage it. If you have a job that’s hard on knives, this is the one for you.

Second shift, 4am.

I’m curious to see how this works with law enforcement.

Not only does that not have anything to do with the topic at hand, but I’m also much more worried about the very real hostile take over of a nation than some people’s fucking street lights.

Greed.

Yes. Because when life sucks, you need something to take your mind off of your problems. I agree that we should vote with our wallets, but for the most part, those willing to continue paying far outweigh us waiting to watch it all fall.

Furthermore, that’s a vast difference in cost comparisons.

I could have sworn this was shut down already with the last verdict he had.

Appreciate you finding the one thing I wanted to know from the article.

Just a bit of light invasion.

I keep my old phones instead of throwing them away. They become music players in the house/garage. My pixel 7 pro definitely has garbage speakers compared to a pixel 3, or an old Samsung note (can’t remember the Gen). It’s a stat I didn’t even bother looking at, since we seemed to have hammered it out years ago. It’s akin to asking if a new car has electric Windows.

I wish I would have checked.

I mean, you’re not wrong there either.

Do we REALLY need to quiz people to know this? Ffs.

Right? My first thought was, “How stupid do they think we are?” I guess the point is moot though, because folks will still gobble it up.

That’s totally valid as well. I’m cool with paying for those options, I realize they use more data. I paid for it because I needed the screens anyways. However, up sizing the budget package is a total dick move.

Well, we all had a good thing going. We were happy with our subscription, and they could ride that golden goose into the sunset. The worst thing you can do with a subscription service is remind people that they are paying every month. As usual, greed took over. Prices keep going up, content/features keep going down, and shows are “presented ad free, after this ad.”

Furthermore, why in the hell is 4k still a premium these days? It’s been available for more than a decade. I will absolutely cancel a service for low quality video and lack of surround sound.

Right on, no need for concern about missing data then. Problem averted.

I’m down for that as well. It’s their info, and they can do with it as they please. I have no right to it, unless they allow it. I totally understand the frustration of not finding the info you want, but I still support the practice.

It sucks that’s where we are, but WE didn’t steer the ship here. Now we just need to play ball within the confines given to us.

To answer your question, no, I had no intention of reading the whole thing. I just wanted to see some of the ridiculous things that make it in there these days.

Also, I completely agree with you.

I’m just a dirty heathen, but… Don’t we all sin? And don’t they all weigh evenly?

Hell is gonna be standing room only. Better bring a folding chair with me.

Don’t have TikTok, and despise that short form has taken over YouTube. It should be a separate app/space/whatever.

I still interact with TikTok links family and friends send me, and I fucking despise that. Close the “use the app” overlay, punch in the “I’m not a robot” code, turn on the volume (since when is muted the default video state, outside of porn?), and then loathe the fact that I just missed 60 percent of a glorified gif that I can’t rewind, and won’t repeat without pushing the app on me.

Nope, I’ve seen enough of their business practices and intent just from that interaction. It leaves me with no desire to sign up.
