Same but bike instead of bus. In rare cases a Lyft

50 degrees is a damn good temperature. I won't stand here and let you besmirch 50 degrees.

Its not the "perfect" temperature but what temp in celcius is "perfect"? What a ridiculously proposition that there's a perfect temperature.

Like which operating system it runs and the user interface and what the remote is like and how big the bezels are and how good the sound quality is and how many hdmi ports it has..... Like if you care about some specific detail make sure it has the thing you want or doesn't have a version you hate

Unless you're picky about certain small details, this is a solid choice

For what it's worth, I don't want tabs or AI in the sidebar. And I don't want a sidebar

If you're looking for the best bang for your buck look at LED TVs. Different companies have different names for their specific LED technology, like QLED or MiniLED. If you're looking for the best bang irrespective of bucks, go for an OLED.

Then choose your brand on which OS it uses and other features. Then crank up the size until you reach $1,000.

Very dead rich people or very rich dead people? Or does it matter?

You can download in whatever format is available for any given movie. Often movies are available in multiple formats, especially the popular ones. DM your email address amd I can invite you to a private tracker but only if you promise to keep a good ratio.

Also I'm sure some other commenter is literally going to say "mkv is a container not a format" but whatever, if you want mkvs the movie or show you want has to have an mkv available.

"Should Have" in what sense? Like as a moral matter or to get elected? They're very different things.

I don't think Biden is going to get any votes at all

 

I'm signed into Firefox on 4 devices. I can send tabs between all of them except from my work computer to my phone (other direction works). I can see the tabs open on my computer from my phone and tap to open it on my phone, but if I "send tab" from computer to phone, it never arrives.

I tried signing out on my phone and back in. Didn't work.

What else can I do to troubleshoot?

 

My wife is in the market for a new phone. Her highest priority is that it's small. She has it narrowed down to a Galaxy S23 or a Zenphone 10. The Samsung is the safe bet, especially since she's upgrading from an S10e. And even so, we can just got to T-mobile and play with one. The Zenphone is a bit riskier as it's unfamiliar. But it's small and gets great reviews. All of the options under "where to buy" have you buy it through, say, Target or Walmart, but it's online only. So she wouldn't be able to play with it until after unboxing and setting it up.

Proton Pass Windows App (sh.itjust.works)

Everyone's been complaining about having access to passwords offline. While you could always do that with the Android app (and I assume iOS), you can now do it in Windows.

Proton has been killing it lately. I feel like the speed at which they're rolling out new features and products has really picked up over the last year or so.

 

First off, I'd normally ask this question on a datahoarding forum, but this one is way more active than those and I'm sure there's considerable overlap.

So I have a Synology DS218+ that I got in 2020. So it's a 6 year old model by now but only 4 into its service. There's absolutely no reason to believe it'll start failing anytime soon, and it's completely reliable. I'm just succession planning.

I'm looking forward to my next NAS, wondering if I should get the new version of the same model again (whenever that is) or expand to a 4 bay.

The drives are 14 TB shucked easy stores, for what it's worth, and not even half full.

What are your thoughts?

 

I used to have both, because the beta didn't have necessary features like archive but did have threaded convos. Now "both" of my Proton Mail apps are the same app but I have 2 icons. They both open the same thing.

 

I'm happy to adopt a new podcast app if it has sponsorblock natively or through a plug-in. Otherwise let me know if there's some other way to make it work. I don't see why it wouldn't work as all of the segments tagged for skipping are crowdsourced which would also work for Podcasts.

I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....

 

Every year or so I try one or more privacy focused keyboards. I always end up right back on SwiftKey after a couple of weeks because most of the keyboards I try have the same problem: the predictions suck.

Ok, I get that surveillance is good for predictions. Put another way, predictions are tough without collecting everything everyone types. Is there a best-of-both-worlds keyboard out there? I'd be patient enough to give it some time to learn how I type and get better.

 

I'm migrating the handful of accounts that I have 2FA set up in from using Authy to using Proton Pass. But I'm stuck on my Proton account itself. Should I keep Authy just for my Proton account and then once I'm in, I can use Pass for the rest of the 2FAs?

What do you do?

 

My wife and I both use Bitwarden and share passwords back and forth. We switched from LastPass after the chrome extensions shit the bed, and thankfully before they got hacked.

Tonight I got her to just make a Pass Plus account under the one year free deal. She voiced her opposition to switching "again". I told her it's not better than Bitwarden yet anyway, but I'll keep an eye on it and let her know when it's better. I'm going to need to make a convincing case to get her to switch.... again.
