I can’t believe there isn’t a good HTPC OS that can handle launching Netflix, prime, plex, whatever.

I haven’t used Kodi in a few year but at least then Kodi and the big apps didn’t play well together.

Tandybaum ,

Hey Amazon, I was a HUGE advocate for you. I help setup countless older family/friends devices for them. I told them that FireTVs were the devices to have.

I have moved 100% to roku. The reason for this that you’re UI is ads 1st and apps 2nd. If you’re redesigning I beg and plead that you take a good look at what Roku is going right. You could do it better and fully whip them out (I hope not because competition is good).

Tandybaum ,

I acknowledge that these devices are subsidized by ads. However, roku shows you ads but they are off to the side and don’t impact the experience of using the device.

FireTV devices are so aggressive with their ads and terrible UI that I’m fully off them (I actually still have 1).

Tandybaum ,

Pihole?

Tandybaum ,

This really might be the one that gets him. It’s one thing when self driving doesn’t quite work right or when that tunnel project gets abandoned. If they install these things and people get seriously hurt (I know cars can hurt people) it’s going to be a shit storm.

Tandybaum ,

I feel like this isn’t a fanboy situation. If he actually goes through will this and people get fucked up the hammer will fall hard and fast.

Tandybaum ,

I haven’t looked into point to point wireless in a few years. Seems like this could be a use. One person pays and then blasts that connection to the whole neighborhood.

Otherwise there is zero residential need for these speeds.

Tandybaum ,

What does “will get upgraded” mean here. I have google fiber on the 1gig plan. I pay $70 a month and they email nearly weekly asking if I’ll upgrade to the 2gig for $100. 1gig is plenty for me but if I can take 20gig for $70 I guess I’ll take the upgrade.

Tandybaum ,

Same. And they send me an email every few weeks to see if I’ll upgrade to 2gig. I pretty damn happy with just the 1gig. I can’t imagine what I’d do with 20gig.

Tandybaum ,

I’m all about thinking ahead but this seems insane. Really struggling to think of a home use need this these speeds.

I run a relatively small server for family and friends and I haven’t moved to 2gig plan because even that seems like overkill.

Tandybaum ,

I’m all for insane early adopters to iron out kinks I’d stuff like this. I’m sure we’ll need these speeds at some point but I can’t imagine the average people will in the 15-20 years.

I’d say this is more bandwidth then my entire road would need in total.

I still want to see a badass version of the Kim Dotcom whole fiasco

Tandybaum ,

I’m was going to come in with Booooo! But I think you’re Nooooo! Will cover my feelings.

This is truly terrible news. It’s so strange when things like this happen and they 100% drop what makes them magic. It would be like that amazing fresh local Pizza place pivoted to doing terrible cheap frozen pizza.

Tandybaum OP ,

cool cool

Tandybaum OP ,

If you can find me a better way to acquire a 20x Queen sheet I’m all ears.

I call it a queens harem sheet.

Tandybaum OP ,

Boom, still got it

Tandybaum ,

What is the complaint about YouTube music. I got it for free and it’s pretty good. Maybe not perfect but I don’t big beef about it.

Tandybaum ,

Uncut gems

Tandybaum ,

I have prime for 70% shipping, 25% automatic photo/video uploads, and 5% video streaming.

I think the only amazon things I’ve watched are The Boys and Swarm. Both good but not worth a subscription. I also have other ways to get these shows if needed.

Tandybaum ,

It’s really good. I hope they make a couple with this same style.

Tandybaum ,

I’m 85% sure I’m going to get the 15. I’m upgrading from my XR so hopefully it’ll be pretty major for me.

Agree 3-4 cycle makes it feel amazing.

Tandybaum , (edited )

I’m at 85% battery

I’m mostly excited about better battery, usb-c, and 5g cellular. Mag charging is interesting but I already have qi chargers all over the place.

Tandybaum ,

Are there any current major limitations compared to plex? Remote access ok?

Tandybaum ,

I’ve always used google maps on my iPhone and it has offline maps. I use it pretty regularly on trips to be damn sure I can get where I’m going regardless of cell signal.

I never used Apple Maps because it was HORRIBLE when it first came out. I used it a few times more recently and it’s actually pretty decent. With offline maps I might give it another real try.

Tandybaum ,

Offline maps are a little above a “nice to have” feature for me. However, I think it makes it worth giving it another solid try for a few weeks. I’ll check it out as soon as iOS 17 hits.

Tandybaum ,

I do exactly this 3 days a week…

I would probably voluntarily go in 1-2 days a week because it’s nice to get out sometimes. However, a mandatory 3 days feels dumb.

Tandybaum ,

My company has a mandatory 3 days in office policy already. However, they haven’t given any details about how it’s calculated.

If I have a vacation Monday & Tuesday do those count toward my days or not? If not what if I’m out Monday - Wednesday? We have unlimited PTO so there is no formal record keeping of my days off. How does my boss (or whoever is counting my days) factor in considering my PTO? If I did 5 days one week does that mean I could do 1 day the next week? What about traveling for work?

Tandybaum ,

I could see but it seems like a washer would be a much easier way to do this rather than bending like that

Tandybaum ,

That’s true. I was thinking pull through but you’re right about spinning while tightening.

Tandybaum ,

Looks pretty decent…

Tandybaum ,

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds

Tandybaum ,

y’all means all

Tandybaum ,

Like 20 years ago I had this grand idea to sell add on kits for shopping carts to grocery stores. One would divide the cart in half so you could have heavy stuff separate from chips/bread/whatever. Another had all kinds of hooks/holders for stuff like that.

Should’ve done something with that idea apparently.

Tandybaum ,

I visited the BYD factory years ago. I have no idea how big it is compared to others but it absolutely blew my mind. I was up on like 5th floor and when they sounded the lunch bell it looked like ants out the window. I think they said it was about 600k employees in that building.

Tandybaum ,

It being huge is an understatement. They have dorms where people live on-site and it’s they are massive. Multiple soccer complexes and tons of restaurants all on campus.

Tandybaum ,

This is definitely a “tap him on the shoulder and say Bro…” moment.

Tandybaum ,

Random apps are going to be harder. Best option for your home network will be to setup a pihole. I’ve causally followed it but never actually set one up myself. I’ve heard it’s great.

Tandybaum ,

Yep, it would only work inside your home network.

You’re not going to have much luck blocking ads within apps with any other option I’m aware of. Maybe android has some OS wide ad blocking but iOS doesn’t.

Tandybaum ,

Dumb question but how would you get your browser of choice if they didn’t include one from the jump?

Tandybaum ,

I think in 30 years when I think back on Wes Anderson I’ll appreciate his recent run of “weirder movies”.

However, right now I desperately want him to release another Darjeeling, Life Aquatic, or Grand Budapest Hotel.

French Dispatch and Asteroid City were defiantly Wes Anderson movies but they lacked a solid story that will stick with me.

Tandybaum ,

Its odd because on paper you’re right. Life Aquatic should also be in the weird bucket but I don’t put it there for some reason. It worked much more somehow.

Return-to-office orders look like a way for rich, work-obsessed CEOs to grab power back from employees::White-collar workers temporarily enjoyed unprecedented power during the pandemic to decide where and how they worked.

Tandybaum ,

It was a pretty decent little movie also

Tandybaum ,

Are there AI Onlyfans?

Tandybaum ,

I absolutely love Atlanta Season 3 Episode 4. It’s a very fictionalized take on this.

Tandybaum ,

100%. That is the line that got me.

Tandybaum ,

I thought up until the last episode it was really solid. That last episode was real bad though.
