YouTube showed me this new video and I thought it might be something old because I watch his clips . But no it was new and it was hilarious. I clicked in noticing it was an hour and thought I probably wouldn't make the whole thing but was wrong.

Jack White was surprisingly funny, with a dry humor and his guests (both local) and Jeff Daniels were also a riot.

Worth the watch, at least IMHO.

Lifetime subscriber when it was like $75 bux

Setup and runs on my NAS (unRAID) Uses a small GPU to transcode as needed Shared only with non technical family members

Has worked as is for YEARS.

So, the question is, am I looking for something to replace a working free (prepaid) solution I have? That answer is nope.

That means I'll end each day having only 50 posts remaining...

Even when I had an account years ago there was not a single day I posted/replied/commented/shared more than 1-3 times a day (1-3 interactions a day)

It was never my thing really so it was easy to remove from my life.

Great, I bought one like 6mo ago and have it running on frigate...

Ya, for my father (in his 70s) I was proud he gave it a real effort, but there were just too many changes and things that broke his workflow causing him to bail on it

Ya, it's annoying for sure... As I said, chicken and egg type thing. The market share has to be there before these companies will invest anything in linux. You'd think macos would be a gateway to them providing linux support but that doesn't seem to translate well.

I wish it were that easy. I'm pretty tech literate and I've had Linux installed on and off since the late 1990's. I'm running fedora desktop on a dual boot machine that also has windows 10. The PC will run windows 11 but just like everyone else I'm not excited to upgrade.

But I still have to hop over to windows to do things. I know it's a chicken and egg thing, but Linux just needs to get over the hump if ease of use and app availability.

Having to switch from. App1 to app1 that boat do say, CAD, is hard. It's a learning curve. And add that learning curve into also switching to Linux and it's overwhelming.

I actually got my dad on fedora, and he went all in and set it up, and worked quite diligently to get everything working for how he used his computer. He did this because his PC was fine but not windows 11 compatible. End the end there were just too many things that he struggled with and he broke down and bought a new PC that came with 11. One of the big issues he had was with documents. Syncing documents that he was editing.

He was OK relearning a new Libre Office but it was syncing it back to a Google drive or something that ultimately did not work for him. (I can't remember exactly what he was doing).

He ran with Fedora for a couple months before giving up

Are Democrats ok with this or are they also losing their shit?

 

There's this...

 

Outside of Cincinnati and noticed I had no service around 11am. Started checking around ant it seems it's pretty widespread.

Sunset (infosec.pub)

Unexpected huge sunset while driving home tonight.

The sun didn't look real in person!

 

Anyone here have a new 9? I wanted to listen to some music on my Pixel Buds Pro 1s and noticed the volume was quite low.

Looked around at various settings, but nothing weird. Swapping to my 8 and I get normal volume. Switching back, low again.

 

So, I never visit McDonald's. Oddly, I have managed to visit them twice this year. Once a month ago while traveling and it just worked out that it made the most sense when we stopped for fuel while traveling.

And second last night. We were at the lake late and coming home just before 9pm. Most non chain places were closing, and the only local spot open was McDonald's. Had the whole family including my visiting parents.

The experience was pretty awful. First, they had 3 employees in the building, and the expectation was that you use the Kiosk. I didn't have 'strong' opinions of having to use it vs. speaking to a human. However after ordering 4 meals on it, it is quite the nightmare for the casual visitor. Probably took 4x as long to order our food.

My parents took their order on a second Kiosk and were not even able to complete their order (Parents are in their mid 70s). Not sure what happened, I wasn't watching them. My dad was quite irritated at this point.

After asking one of the humans multiple times for help, he took their order at the register.

<insert 30 minute wait for food>

Our food was placed in their pickup area in bags with napkins (store napkin holder empty). Nearly every burger was overcooked and quite dry. Both my buns were hard. The fry's were luke warm and not very fresh. The meal for 2 adults and 2 14yos was $40 bux.

I saw a story on Lemmy last week about how McDonald's profits were down and the general consensus was that it was the over priced food. While I'm sure that has an impact I believe the Kiosk, slow 'fast food' and overall experience has to be a huge negative.

My parents were PISSED, and they are historically huge McD Patrons. At least in their case, the price will not be why they do not return. Its the awful experience.

 

That was a joke, way to switch to college basketball in the middle of our game

 

Just got this email from Haier (US) who seems to be distancing themselves from the EU division's decision to block Home Assistance.

Hello , (I changed this)

Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

The Haier brand in the U.S. is independent of Haier Europe and operates separately. hOn is the connected IOT platform for Haier Europe. In the U.S., consumers can use our open IOT platform, SmartHQ. SmartHQ does not prevent integrations with Home Assistant.

We appreciate you reaching out.

Kindest regards,

Digital Engagement Team Haier Appliances

 

Noticed when we got home last night our outside lights were not on, but we have an automation to turn them on if we're gone after dark. Meant to check why, but forgot.

Logged into the companion app this morning to manually toggle a switch and saw Life360 integration was not connected and "requires reconfiguration"

reentering my password and trying to log in is not working. I tried removing and re-adding the integration but the problem remains. Now I cannot re-add the integration as it will not sign in.

Anyone else experiencing this?

 

We seemed a bit quick to want to start fights tonight. I believe while the ref was a bit quick to yellow card a couple of our players, others got lucky.

Moreno could have easily been carded early on. Badji could have gotten a red for his punch.

Otherwise a great game for us, but I hope those yellows don't come back and bite us.

 

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.
