I bought an hp colour laser a few years ago for the same reason. Didnâ(TM)t use it much but all of a sudden the damn fuser died in it. Canâ(TM)t find the part for it anywhere online so far. $300 paperweight right now.

This is what Apple is aiming to achieve with their upcoming TV app. All the streaming services in one app. Because you are right it’s dumb to have to go to different apps all the time to watch the shows you want. It’s even worse than cable and trying to remember which channel a particular show airs on and at which time.
If there was a way to easily pay(for a reasonable price) for the shows and have them show up in plex then I think it would take off. The experience is just so much better along with programs which acquire the shows and add them to the library.

I had to install the Linux subsystem in order to run a python script that converted mercurial repos to got repos. Couldnâ(TM)t be bothered to get python working on windows because itâ(TM)s not something I use in my work normally. However thereâ(TM)s a nice script in python that does all the work of moving your mercurial repos to git and converting the history which was fairly easy to get working under Linux. Not having a native Linux system at work, the subsystem proved very useful for my task and is lighter weight than running a full vm just for that task.

I think it's your head phones that cause the lag. In my old car I had a cheap $30 bluetooth AUX adapter and when I played music or whatever in my car there was no lag. With the exact same phone but in my "new"(2010) car(Mazda), there's a delay of a couple seconds now. Same phone, different car. I think the car/headphones have some buffer or something that causes the delay. My same phone works fine with some cheap bluetooth earbuds as well. I watch videos no problem. So something with the bluetooth implementations in some devices seems to cause delays sometimes.

Ohhh, I bet they will lay a lot of people off. I worked for a company in Canada that was partially owned by Comcast/Time Warner. Comcast bought out Time Warner. There were rumours of layoffs, and some suit came up and we had a big meeting about how everything was great and nothing would change. Less than 2 years later the whole company was shut down.

It's not even a hands off car since they require you to hold the wheel. Otherwise it'll start yelling at you. They do market it to be capable of more than it really is. They talk about AI and self driving but it's not reliable to be marketed like that yet.

Google Power(Beta). Will be available for 3-5 years and then shut down. All existing customers will be cut off with 3 months warning.

Actually this is not the first time I've read about this. People that live on residential streets that are close to major highways have had problems with Waze and the like routing way more cars through their streets than it was designed for. They design residential streets for a typical traffic flow and not for a lot of cars bypassing traffic on a regular basis. Imagine living on one of these streets and having hundreds of cars come down there daily, when it was never designed for that and thus making your quiet residential road into a high traffic road.
A quick google search turns up lots of stores and people complaining about this.

Where I live, there's no such thing as a locked down school, be it primary school, high school, university, or college. There are security guards at the larger schools but they are not armed because they don't need to be. We very very rarely have anything like this happen. We do not have easy access to guns. You can get a hunting license and get a gun with a background check and what not. You can't just go into any random gun store and buy a gun without that. Now maybe in the USA due to how many psychos there seem to be with easy access to guns, you may need better security. But think about why there are so many psychos and why they can so easily get extremely dangerous weapons first. Here there may be the same percentage of psychos but you can't just go into any random sporting goods store and buy guns.

It's only an outrageous price if it's an Apple phone

Yeah they can be replaced, either at the Apple store for $99 USD(now $25 USD for the next year) or a 3rd party shop which can do it as well. You don't have to trash the device.

This new FF quantum architecture has a major regression which they're very slow on fixing so far. If you have a large select list(html SELECT), FF takes several seconds to open it when you click on it. It's so bad that we had to tell users to use IE for now until they fix it. Chrome and Safari all display the select list in less than 1 second. Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s...

Tap on the "name" and it shows you the From address

I haven't had any problems with the wifi at my gym or at the grocery store which is a cellular black hole with the concrete and steel. They even have those forced portal pages where you have to agree to their TOS to use the wifi and it works fine. It must be something specific to certain vendors and not something they're doing on purpose.

Which is why they warn you to not use the beta on a production machine. If you don't listen and something goes wrong then it's your own fault.
