The comments on that article are really strange.

Maybe I'm just not that familiar with how new trek is made, but is this a good thing for trek or more Section 31 stuff?

Stadia was the last straw for me. I kept my pixel phone but I replaced and ripped so much Google out of my life.

I replaced my nest cameras, and my Google wifi router. I ditched my Google home speakers and displays. Migrated everything from gmail except for Google related garbage. Unsubscribed from Google one. And no more books Google play. No movies or TV's on Google play either.

And lastly I use duck duck go as my primary search.

A lot of time and money but my spite knows no bounds apparently.

Feels like it doesn't it? I enjoyed taking apart and fixing the family computer as a kid but it was also out of necessity. If it wasn't me? Then who else would or could?

I'm still trying to decide if it's a "when I was a kid I used to clean my own carburetor" situation. Like, is it a "back in my day men were men and we fixed our computers by hand", or more so, there's just not a need to dig into computers unless you enjoy it like any other hobby.

I'm not qualified in any sense to speculate, and so that's exactly what I'm going to do.

My first thought is that there is a configuration happening to bring it home which we already knew, and there is a bug or test tone that was activated and since no one writing the code is there, they just didn't notice it is still running.

I've been watching DustUps ranch on YouTube. Some guy bought wasteland in Texas and is doing this and other stuff to create a forest.

Definitely not an instructional channel because there is a lot that goes wrong so far but he learns as he goes and seems to have a good plan now.

Been playing on and off for years (beat it every way, every ending, 100% most of everything).

It's less glitchy than fallout 4. Even if there are bugs, they are not game ending or even that difficult to move on.

The game, the dlc, the paid dlc.... I thought all of it was incredible and I had an absolutely amazing time playing. I think I'm around 800 hours, but a few hundred were on stadia.

Anyway, if you're having issues, delete it all, try again and give it a shot. The difference between release and now is large.

The dispensers are still around, just all empty. So frustrating. I'm not worried about covid but I don't want a cold or the flu either...being sick is not fun. Let me keep my hands clean!

I actually do not remember where I heard this, but I was unhappy at one of my past workplaces, and I felt like nothing made sense anymore. The purpose of my job, the product, the people... I would ask why or seek deeper understanding and received nothing back.

The advice was "when no one has your back, it's time to move your back".

It stuck with me because it applies to friends, family, work, and life in general. If you do not feel supported and able to give support back mutually then it's time to place yourself in a situation more beneficial for you and those around you.

It doesn't place blame, it's simply a validation statement - you feel x, so do y.

I feel like all these giant legal teams have such incredible capabilities to push lawsuits however and wherever they want - it's honestly hard to just keep up with what is happening and why.

This article does a good job of explaining as Ars typically does. But every lawsuit we read about these days is so convoluted that I can't really understand it as much as I would like to.

I've had good luck. Reliable and fast as any other service.

I'm a 3rd year subscriber of the Unlimited plan, $158 for 2 years at a time. I utilize the drive, aliases, mail and VPN.

No real complaints. I still use Google calendar because it integrated more with Android phone. I still consider going back to Gmail occasionally for simplicity. I really hate Gmail though but email is garbage. Does it really matter?

I basically priced out good vpn's, and the two year price of proton was pretty similar to most other quality VPN plans. So why not stick with it and get the rest of the ecosystem too.

I don't think about it too much, it's email and it works.

I do not care about secure email because I don't communicate with anyone else using it, but I do like how it automatically blocks trackers and cleans email links for me.

This is the exact type of handwriting I would assume they had.

Written inconsistently around an envelope with spelling errors, no thought to the length of what they are writing, and random capitalization.

Spot on.
