Classic that once wrapped is out to everyone they fire a huge amount of there workforce just a few weeks before Christmas. Shows why the streaming model is a sham.
It is shit like this that made me get back into buying my own music.
I found an extension that gets rid of the shorts, thank god
Met my wife on Bumble and we just had a baby in June
I remember getting getting sucked into opening packs years ago in Madden Ultimate team. I stopped when I realized I had spent twice over what the game itself cost. I stopped then, and never played ultimate team again. I am not an addictive person, but even the most strong minded individual can get sucked into their vortex. The fact that lawmakers let this industry be self regulated means these companies can keep abusing players.
Yeah it really is a depressing reality here. I think every day about jumping ship and finding somewhere else in the world to live. Unfortunately the whole planet is really in a bad place.
Thanks for your feedback, I made some changes based on your recommendations . Does this look like it would work better? I wanted to pick a case I could build more in in the future. I would prefer to buy parts that are more future proof and would make it easy to upgrade the system when I have more money again later.
I have one I would love to do that for now, but the need for money to support a family keeps me from doing it. Luckily should be able to apply for jobs soon when I’m done my degree in a few months
Yet another example of how the streaming model is a scam. Disney also wants to ban password sharing like Netflix did. The sooner you can get away from services like this the better. Instead of forking over a fortune for all these streaming sites, it makes way more sense to invest in owning the media you consume.
Even easier to pair a sensor to Home Assistant so the lights can turn on automatically when you enter the room. Then you don’t need to interact with a voice assistant or an app to turn on a light.
Same. Need the micro sd
We had a big flood where I live about 10 years ago. Massive amounts of water and whole basements of almost all the homes completely went under water for days. I worked for a clean up crew that summer cleaning up alot of the damage. I was 18 and needed a job and thought it would be a good experience. I was just hired as a temp by a restoration company through a hiring agency though and I found out almost everyone I was working with was the same. The people supervising us, some were not much older than me and had no idea how to run this operation. One day we are in the basement of a large commercial building. Young supervisor tells me and 3 other temps to haul out a heavy washing machine that needs to go to the main level. Only way out was a massive wood staircase that went straight up and contained probably 50 steps. This was an industrial washing machine so it weighed probably a couple hundred pounds. We get it onto a dolly and begin hauling it up the stairs. I am at the top pulling the dolly with another guy while the two others are at the bottom pushing. Thing is so heavy we have to pull it in spurts. So “1…2…3…” then we all move it up one step. We get all the way to the top and only have two more steps. Now remember when I said these basements were fully under water? That was also the case here. The staircase had been under water for days and was now very weak. So we pull the machine up to the step before the landing. As we pull it, me and the guy beside me step onto the landing. The machine goes onto the last step and the connection between the staircase and the landing at the top of the stairs breaks. Whole staircase falls and the two guys below fall with it. Luckily when it all hits the ground, the machine rolls away from the guys and they are hurt, but not seriously. Everyone comes rushing over because the sound is deafening, and me and the other guy are still standing at the top of the landing looking down at everyone. Had we not stepped onto the landing at the moment we did, we would have fallen with the stairs and the machine would have rolled ontop of us. Likely killing or permanently injuring us. It’s amazing how close I was to likely death. We were pulled aside by the safety guy for the crew. I saw him later reaming out the young guy that was supervising us and told us to take the machine up the stairs. I’m pretty sure he was fired that day and he looked so distraught. In hindsight I don’t blame him as he should never have been in that position and it was more a reflection on the bad business practices of the restoration company hiring temps and unqualified supervisors.
This is why I would not want to pay a subscription to YouTube. I don’t trust that they would ever truely work out all the ads
Just picked up a used 64gb version a few weeks ago for just over $300. My expectations were blown away. I’ve been a PlayStation and Nintendo guy since the mid 2000’s, but now my plan is to fully transition to the PC gaming ecosystem this year.
I have a PS5 and Nintendo Switch currently and while I like both, my biggest gripe with them is that if I buy a game on one, I can’t continue it on the other. Typically this leads to me having to buy games twice in some instances if I want to play on the TV and in handheld mode. Sure the Switch can dock to the TV, but the power is not enough for the bigger games. I also hate paying for online and backwards compatibility is lacking on both.
The deck shows me the possibilities of a PC future though. Any games I buy on Steam for the deck I will be able to play at higher graphics on a proper PC setup for no extra charge. I also love emulating all my favorite games from the PS2 and GameCube era. The deck shows what true backwards compatibility should be like. PS3 emulation has been limited, but you can buy many of the PS3 games on Steam for cheap anyway, so hasn’t been a big issue.
My goal this year is to build a mid PC setup that can replace my PS5 for TV gaming. Very excited about the future of Steam and PC and now I’m looking to upgrade the storage on the deck to 1tb this weekend.
