"Go add free" screw you Amazon
  • It's even worse than that. The original days of cable were ad free! That was the whole point! You got away from ads on broadcast tv by signing up for cable. That didn't last long, of course, so it's not surprising to see history repeat itself.

  • Benefit of the hindsight
  • This is actually a pretty decent idea considering what's coming now with AI video. I have no idea if it could be implemented, or if media even cares anymore, but I sure would appreciate it.

  • I get where you're coming from, and I tried this. The point is to get away from windows, and if the main program I use my computer for lacks essential features that affect my work, then I can't switch.

    Honestly, calling people lazy without context just makes you another Linux bro and doesn't help bring people over.

  • The AAC issue and working directly from a NAS. It's adding a lot to the workload to work around AAC. NAS could be a me issue, but other programs have no issue with accessing it and working directly from it.

  • Pebble (watch)
  • You have to keep in mind that the tech at the time was pretty revolutionary, but dated now. The e-ink display was legible in the brightest daylight and it had a battery life of 7-10 days depending on the model. I liked the minimalist styling of it, and hope they continue with a future model.

    I've always been curious to know how it would have evolved if it hadn't been killed off. A newer version would hopefully take advantage of color e-ink displays and have some of the features current smart watches have. But honestly, they could make the Pebble Steel again with updated parts and I'd buy it in a second.

  • What doctors say needs to change about health care in Canada
  • It's easy: stop sending federal funding to private clinics. Our taxes pay for public healthcare and should not be subsidizing the private sector. This will also free up more funds to pay our healthcare professionals what they're worth, which stops the exodus to the private sector.

  • Cut out my mother a few years ago and I'm doing pretty great. No more anxiety at family gatherings or random guilt tripping phone calls. It's amazing the behavior you recognize when you're no longer subject to it.

    She was/is very manipulative and I'm hoping that my siblings eventually figure it out too. Two of them are firmly on her side while the other 2 remain neutral. I've explained to them my situation and they're all old enough to do with that information as they will.

    There's no chance for reconciliation and I'm ok with that. This is the most I've been at peace in my life, so no regrets.

  • What was everyone's first Dynavap?
  • I just started a month ago with the M Plus, and I honestly love it. While it doesn't go as far as the vape juice I used to make, it's much more convenient and easier to clean. Also no risk of leaks in the pocket. I won't be going back to my old ways.

  • Those who tried Linux and went back to Windows, what caused you to go back to Windows?
  • I'm definitely a Linux novice, tried it on and off over the last decade and currently dual boot Mint on my laptop. I love Mint, it's been the easiest version of Linux by far.

    Now the bad, DaVinci Resolve Studio just does not play nice. I know this is more of a Resolve problem, but still, it doesn't connect to my NAS efficiently. As an editor, this is a deal breaker. I hope it gets fixed in the future.

    Second, it won't even see my Bluetooth keyboard, once again, probably something to do with the hardware, but it works on everything else, even Android. I also have weird issues with my wireless Xbox controller in that the trigger buttons don't register in games. Still trying to troubleshoot that.

    I still try to use Mint as often as I can, but there always something that keeps me from switching fully.

  • What is every here printing with?
  • My Ender 3 v1 build is very close to this too +/- a few things, specifically linear rails, which absolutely corrected a lot of the little issues I was having. Speed isn't important to me, so I'll probably keep using it for years to come.
