Brother, have I got a solution for you!

Netscape?

I made the transition to Linux Mint at the beginning of the year. I just booted into Windows the other day and saw that it had been six weeks since the last time.

I’ve tried Quest 2 once at a friend’s house. I thought it was pretty neat but nothing about the experience made me want to run out and buy one or even plan to buy one in the future. I believe that unless good VR headsets come down in price significantly (sub $100) they’re never going to be more than a niche hobby.

I’ve noticed that Japanese candy often has a ton of packaging. There’ll be a box of small mints and you open it to find each one individually wrapped.

For POS they’d be much more likely to get a tip from me if the options were $0.50, $1.00, or $1.50.

I’ve been on Linux Mint for a few months now, and haven’t booted into Windows in like three weeks.

The transition has been relatively painless.

I’ve been an Android user since the beginning, started with the G1. But I’m starting to think about Apple. I have no other Apple products but I just don’t care about phone tech any more. I want a long lasting phone that launches apps, texts, and makes phone calls.

Which phone is it? My pixel 5a’s camera just gave out and I’m in the market.

If I was stupidly rich I’d pay the entire fine to nullify the punishment to Gary. It isn’t about the money to Nintendo; it’s about making an example of him.

That’s some bullshit. I hate that they can do that. They spin it as a convenience but I’d rather update all my accounts with the new card manually.

Oh (buy) Brother!

It blows my mind that the 28 year old DVD format (720x480 resolution) is still being sold and consumed. I can walk into my local Walmart today and at least 40% of disks including brand new movies are on DVD. They look noticeably worse on even HD TVs (1920x1080) and no amount of fancy upscaling is going to make them look good on modern 4K UHD TVs (3840x2160).

I can get very close to 1 Gbit on Ethernet but top out at maybe 400 Mbps on wifi.

You don’t find the ads in Windows 11 valuable?

400 pages of “rusty razor blades”

I just upgraded from a 1070 to a 3060ti. The numbers definitely did not justify a 4060ti.

We’ve tasted ad-less video entertainment and found it good. That said, for at least half a century OTA network TV required watching ads and most people didn’t care much because they didn’t have to pay cash for the service. I think many/most people have the capacity to tolerate ads to get what they want.

I’ve been trying to get my family name .com for years. I have no plans for it but neither does the current owner. They either paid for like 15 years in advance or they just keep reupping. I am not willing to make them an offer since I want it for the bare minimum.
