Streams flac. Good supplement to piracy. I might switch to Qobuz sometime, but it works well for now.

I really enjoyed all 4 seasons.

It's very character driven, which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea. I enjoyed seeing characters grow and change through the seasons and loved the way the show moved through different eras of technology.

Even with a free forum host, it's difficult to keep things running for a long time.

Awhile back I was unsatisfied with how quickly my (new) furniture was degrading, and found a furniture forum run by a guy in the biz. So much knowledge on there about different furniture and how to actually find quality stuff that will last decades.

The owner retired this week, and he had been paying for an IT contract to do basic maintenance / upgrades on the forum (I think he started on a free host, but as it got bigger he eventually had to move it). He needed IT help basically to apply security patches and do upgrades. He's stated that he no longer plans to pay for the maintenance contract. I'm guessing the forum will disappear soon.

Yeah I mean look what instance this was posted on.

Probably they will ban me just for saying that.

It has been getting so bad that even boring regular phone trees will hang up on you if you insist on talking to a human. If it's ISP / cellular, nowadays I will typically just say I want to cancel my account, and then have cancellations route me to the correct department.

Yeah /u/deadbeef@lemmy.nz kind of understated the problem. They were seeing insane failure rates in data centers like 50%. At this point, any 13th or 14th gen CPU that has experienced any crash or instability should be considered faulty unless you know the cause of the crash is from something else. This isn't just me saying this, mainstream outlets like Gamers Nexus are saying it.

If you're a consumer and have one of those CPUs a replacement is probably in your future. And I wonder if Intel even has stock to replace that many at once....

I can't think of anything like this ever happening on this scale before in computing history.

It was already settled long ago by the Supreme Court, but evangelicals are trying to use private action as a way around it, and I bet they're hoping that one of several current lawsuits makes its way up to our new and corrupt court.

Remember that the burden is on them to show it. But the reality is that when they bring up irrelevant shit like that and try to say that your issue isn't covered under warranty, it will be on you to "remind" them of that burden, and tell them that what they are trying to do is absolutely fucking illegal under Magnusson-Moss.

My understanding is usually you can go before the judge and explain that the higher insurance rates will be a burden for you. Usually you don't necessarily need a lawyer to go and ask for that. The judge will often add some stipulations like double the fine you pay now, and you can't get another ticket for a certain amount of time.

When I lived in Illinois they had formalized the process and called it "court supervision" which is an option you can check on the ticket, but you do have to appear in court. Can't get another speeding ticket for a year, and they won't report it to insurance.

When I got a second speeding ticket though after 11 months, I did hire a lawyer. He requested continuance for me, so that by the time they heard the case, it had been 12 months, and I could do a second court supervision. Since then I decided to try to avoid getting more tickets.

Extension library for Tachiyomi forks. No idea if it works with Aniyomi.
