  • The article says it was released online and if you were in Canada you could watch it. Also it doesn't say it here but another news source said the week prior it was advertised through commercials, ads, and online that it would be airing on so and so date and time.

    Once I saw who stopped it, I kept thinking back to John Oliver's episode on her a few months ago and thought wow that didnt take long.

  • Got to my late 30's before needing to call. This was about 6 years ago. My mother in law was staying with us because her husband passed 3 months prior. She found out later that month she had pancreatic cancer. So my wifes family cleaned out their house and got things in order. She moved in with us maybe a month prior. My wifes sister was with me visiting to see her and my wife left like 30 min to take care of stuff. It was my sister's daughter and my kid who was 3 or 4 at the time. It started out She said she was having trouble breathing and sat on our stairs as her sister tried to get her to calm down since at this point we didnt think much of it. Within a few more minutes she started to panic and so did the sister. The sister started screaming and I called 911. By the time they got here we had already saw her slip out of consciousness while continuing to say i can breath I dont want to die. Paramedics tried for 30 min or so and took her to the hospital were she was pronounced dead. It was a massive heart attack and everyone says there really wasn't much we could have done. That was a bad year, but then we got covid the next year so it just keeps getting better...

  • Within the last month I saw this meme which made me this of them for a split second. Funny story for us, but outside that idk why anyone who doesn't know them cares anyway.

  • Never used cli to install windows in the 25 years I have been dealing with it. I have used dism to remove as much unnecessary crap as I can before installing it though. It only half works anyway since the next feature release reinstalls most of what you remove anyway. These days I just use Rufus to make a bookable USB since it will remove all the requirements and other things by just checking them off as options. GUI is fine after that.

  • Maybe its the games I have played but my last pc was connected to my tv exclusively for 5 years and never saw that UI issue. I definitely had issues that sometimes needed addressing, but that wasnt one. I thought it worked good enough, but yeah the keyboard and mouse was always annoying. I used the Logitech all in one which was pretty small and mouse pad on the right side from the couch. For the most part I used it more for video playback though so I was in Kodi a lot and I would then use my phone as the remote control.

  • It's sad, but for a lot of people over here this is something they would laugh at and get angry over.

  • Lol, I also hate the RGB as well. I built mine a few years ago and it was annoying how badly it is just integrated into most parts now. Some had options where I could buy the same part without it, but some it was either buy it with it or get something else that was either lower end or higher end and not what I wanted at all. In the end it has a low glow and I just face that open window at a wall. Why can't everything have a boring option like noctua fans.

  • Not disagreeing with any of this, but it's not like people who don't build PC's dont have plenty of options of prebuilt ones from either high end 3rd party stores as well as low end ones. To me it's just another option to add to a long list which due to the company name will definitely sell more than the others right off the bat.

  • I am, but I am also in a tight spot since I have a kid who has 1 more year left until school starts and we can't really afford daycare. This job has been nice since the work has also been much easier compared to 5 years ago. After that happens I am looking for something new immediately.

  • My job once gave us water coolers and coffee. At one point the coffee was a big all in one where you can make great drinks with it. Then they took it away because it cost to much. We then had kurigs. They then took away the pods because apparently we cant be trusted and people were stealing them. At least we could still bring ours in! Oh once they broke they refused to replace them so we had no more coffee. Then they took the water away as well once the company claimed it needed cutbacks because it is not doing well. Even the perks are all going away. I remember when I first started 20 years ago we got 2 holiday parties where the company rented a big venue and gave out 10, 15, 20 year anniversary gifts and bonuses and the other party was our department one. Those ended 10 years ago and not a word on anything ever coming back.

    The only perk now is that they cutback so much they have no room for my department anymore and we became full remote a little over a year ago. Yay!

  • By far i feel like in the last week I have seen way more of these busted attempts than any previous year. It's kind of disturbing... you hope they got them all but the more there are the more I feel like theres probably another group that can slip by. Here is hoping I am wrong. Stay safe everyone.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. Says on it's site summer 2026 is target for release. Still a while away, I wonder how long we have with Firefox before this takes over...

  • I thought that as well, but the one thing that makes it credible to me is that they weren't part of "Antifa" considering how desperate they are to make them sound like the world's worst terrorist group in the country. Still who knows!

  • Im just curious, what do you need all that space for? I also would like an SD slot as well, but i also never found i need the space anyway. I will always go with the 256gb since the 512 or higher are ridiculously priced. I cache like 20gb in music from my music server, about 50 to 75gb in apps and games, and the rest is for photos and videos I take. My phone is almost 4 years and only now is it getting full, but I can just remove the pics since I back them up to my NAS.

  • No, because that 4gb is now the price of the 8 or 12 now. My only thought on this is how will they explain the performance drop thats inevitable when cutting it that low. My phone is about to be 4 years old and it has 12gb, it generally consumes 8gb without anything extra running. I know RAM scales, but getting it to low will mean sacrifices in performance.

  • That would be extremely shocking since they are almost always the top rated brand when looking at those products. I would imagine they probably hold a top spot in sales for thst hardware?

  • I watch a bunch of channels that are mostly talking and are 20+ minutes. I always put it on 1.5x speed and its barely noticeable and you get used to it. It saves me time without any loss of what was being shown so I consider it a win.

    1 question, this feature already exists for non paying costumers, does this mean its going to be a pay for option only soon? That will piss me off...

  • Sorry to hear that. I feel like i am in the same boat for insurance. On Jan 1st Im getting worse insurance than the previous 8 years and my total per month will now be $766 which is $193 more a month than it has been. I am already scrambling to make ends meet, this may very well be the final nail that puts me over... the biggest kicker to me has always been having to still pay for every doctor visit, every abnormal thing that needs to be checked out, and paying for medication. Those will all be higher for me next year as well so what am I even getting out of this? All in all ite over 10k a year between insurance and visits and seriously what am I even getting outside a quick draw of blood and how are you doing a few times a year... it's out of control.
