Hell yeah! Time to rise up!

Rough. I’m all for PC, but you’re about to find out how expensive PC gaming is with the “memory crisis”. I’ve been with Xbox myself for 20 years and my game library is so big I couldn’t imagine switching. My gaming PC was over 2500 a few years ago and it sits there collecting dust bc consoles are easier to fire up and play here and there. It was also easier to share licenses with games to play co-op with my kids. I’ll be ditching soon I feel cuz that falls to the wayside more and more, and GP keeps going up and up. No longer can i just pay $5/mo gold for online, its at least $10 for no good reason.

I guess I can’t blame you, of they do age / ID verification or whatever you wanna call it, I’ll probably ditch consoles too.

2 solutions:

1. I’m the same way but on my end table or night stand or whatever, I just scoot my phone towards the top enough so several inches of cord are supported.
2. Charge it before bed or while you get ready in the morning. It’s not good to leave it sit on charge all night anyway. My phone down to maybe 20% in the morning, and the hour I get ready and 20 minute commute, I can get to 70-80% NP.

I always feel if the cord goes over the top when you wake up to grab it and pull down you end up pulling the cord out of the phone anyway because the cord has resistance hanging off the end. Though, the cord I use is a heavier duty one I’ve had for years with a braided sheath to protect it, that might also add weight making it difficult and drag more.

That’s an unfortunate waste of cheese

They’re hiking prices with every gust of wind as an excuse. Tariffs? Hike 'em. AI? Hike 'em. Market uncertainty? Hike 'em. War? You guessed it, hike 'em.

Regulation would help for sure! Let’s get it done.

This is actually an Android feature. iOS, too. It’ll give a random MAC or device MAC depending on what you want.

My MDM at work for Android-based handhelds I’ve configured to device MAC so I can geofence devices and keep track of them. If an employee connects to the employee network (which has to be configured by IT) we set it up with with device only MAC so we can add that device to the allowed list. Apple warns “it enables tracking” but if they ask I tell them in public it might be configured that way but we don’t care nor monitor that closely. If someone shares out the WiFi password by digging through settings, it wouldn’t matter as it’s not allowed.

Anyway, just thought I’d share both mainstream OSes do this now for a few years now.

Anyone else get use GadgetBridge instead of the respective brand’s app? It goes a long way into keeping your usage data private IMO.

We got a Air Pictionary game where you can draw in the air but displays on TV, but that requires an app WITH a user account to go along with it… So it’s sitting unused because I’m not signing up for your stupid app that’s harvesting my data!

I’m not trying to be mean, but she looks eerily like Trump with her squinty eyes, pursed lips, and RBF. Like, A Catlyn Jenner version of Trump. Does nobody else get those vibes?

I forgot that exists lol. Of course it excluded gov use. I feel like it’s ignored anyway and gives no real protection, or we wouldn’t have a million flock cameras everywhere in this state.

You’re looking at Claude, I don’t See Copilot

Edit: ignore me, I finally reviewed the article and is through GH, not actual MS 365 page.

Of course it is… Funny though, bc nobody really uses it at work, so our pricing should theoretically go down… But I doubt it, MS will find a way to make it go up

Same, it didn’t dawn on my flashing LineageOS that my IR may not work. Several F-Droid IR apps are terrible

Edit: https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.ir_remote is about the only semi decent, but for TCL you have to do custom remote which takes some work.

You can also export and import which might save you time

I’ve kept my old TCL phone around as a remote at home bc the app worked so well and was easy to use. I just realized it’s not available in the Play store, nor apk pure for historical availability. I cannot hold down the icon to share. When I browse the file explorer I see the app but it doesn’t give me anything to view to copy… I wish I could share it!!

Hell yeah 😎

He mentions 9/11 being 22 years ago, so October 2023 was the post.

Either way, I’m sharing information that might be helpful or beneficial to others, not here to argue with someone whose mind is already made up or trolling.

I mean, not really… Just spreading the word.

Why? My outlet is lower than my phone in almost every instance, so my voted going down towards the charger makes the most sense.

Besides, my IR Blaster, mic, and 3.5mm jack are at the top 😁

And, you somehow know exactly what Andrew Yang stands for, through and through? You know him that well? I mean, the only Israel thing i saw support for was in 2021, way before this war started.

If you do recall, Biden and Harris were both pro Israel, and Harris expressed support multiple times. Trump criticized her for that and was part of his campaign…

So Yang supporting Israel is no different, and people like you are just pro-1-sided instead of checking the facts or allowing critical thinking to persuade you otherwise. You know, while some hate George Washington, he warned in his farewell address of loyalty to a party vs loyalty to the country. It’s counter-productive and dangerous (more or less).

Show me proof where the party is pro Israel. One person’s opinion doesn’t represent an entire party, and that’s the exact issue WITH today’s current politics! It’s easy to dismiss something when you don’t like ONE thing about it, yet the rest of that thing could be far greater than that one thing. Maybe he also sees the need for something more than just independents being alone, and sort of giving many a “home” to be affiliated with or represented by.

A centrist view can easily apply to half the country-OR MORE, because about 40-45% are already independent or only slightly lean towards a party, and the other ~60% is split in the 2 parties. The issue with the 2 parties is they’re bought and paid by mega Corps and big wealthy donors so they can keep control, NOT the constituents. If you like being a simp for them, fine, but, progressive, to me, means looking beyond the current limitations of this system and doing/supporting what is necessary to regain control of our country.

I don’t even think you read the post, because, again, regardless of your views, a party that pushed ethics, values, and others’ needs before their own is a pretty big deal. So, maybe instead of being dismissive, you open up a little to consider the fact it might not be as bad as your initial thought.

Especially that dude on the far right with his 6-7 fingers
