I’m ok with YouTube. I pay for a large music service and get no YouTube ads.

Every other service has only made things worse. Netflix has done the least by not yet pushing ads.

If only gears grew on trees…

I liked being disappointed with a few episodes only to realize they are far better than most anything else out there.

Rewatched it recently and other than pagers and pay phones no longer existing it’s still great.

They literally couldn’t pay the devs. Netflix for instance flat out refused to have blackberry pay for 2 full time devs to maintain an app.

Netflix looked at the market share and determined that there was 0 benefit. The people that were on blackberry devices already had a Netflix account.

Additionally Blackberry store apps were compelling for devs. Dev feedback included ease of development and more importantly they made a lot more money on the blackberry store than on iOS/android, both because the cut was better and they could jack the prices up because the customers were not nearly as frugal.

To get into mobile would require a massive overhaul of windows apps to get them mobile-friendly

Oh look, that’s exactly what they did and now we have PWAs for lots of apps. Maybe MS is getting ready to take a stab at mobile again.

Local admin of your interactive account is just. Ad though.

I get into story games a lot more now. If it’s hard, repetitive, or a grind it simply isn’t fun, I have reality for those types of challenges.

It’s possible they are both awful, but individually yes this report is rough to read.

Massive unemployment.

Libraries are not companies, they don’t need to make a profit. They are supported by taxes. The computers they have are old because they work perfectly fine.

They probably don’t pay for licensing, and the cost to maintain non-windows OS would be more due to having to hire people with that skill set.

Yikes.

Federation. Your email address could either be local creds, or federated with google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, etc.

When you submit your email address, it determines how you will be authenticating when you submit it.

I think it’s good if you have a strong immune system response to the vax. It means your immune system will be charged up with antibodies.

I always plan to take 1-2 days off after getting vaccinated.

Why is science trying to make gym-bro mice?

The hate for Edge here is excessive.

Throw stuff out. Hot sauce from 2 years ago? Toss. Condiment packs from last week that you will never use? That can of hard kombucha your friend left behind?

Toss it all out. It does not good taking up space if you’re never going to use it.

“Here is every illegal thing you’ve done since you were conceived, including the ones in countries that the US has an extradition agreement with. Also, here is how much we will pay you to be our bitch. Would you like to continue this discussion?”

I have both a gas and the cheapest induction range/oven combo I could find and the induction is way better.

People saying gas is better are just wrong.

Gas should be incentivized out of residential new construction, and probably banned from new multi family dwellings

Isn’t most (non-environmental) road damage done by commercial trucks?

Maybe paying for roads by taxing fuel was always going to be a losing battle since mpg requirements have been trending upwards for decades.

Not yet, but as modern cars break down and people figure out how to strip it to a working chassis and drivetrain without dependence on other components, you’ll see some neat things.
