Comment i wish there was a legal bundle it all service (Score 1) 182

imagine kodi or whatever, but legal. it shows you all available shows and movies, and interacts with whatever streaming network it is on. has lots of plans available, including a la carte and bundle the entire catalog of multiple streaming providers. all within a single app or website.

it is not convenient having to juggle within all multiple streaming apps / sites. i would pay for this convenience

Comment Re:Whatever your opinion of Amazon or Bezos.... (Score 1) 25

you are the one thinking it wrong. not everyone needs to deploy their vm under an elastic load balancer that automatically replaces their instances on an autoscaling group if they go down, and on top of that, do immediate failover to a different DR region.

heck, not even AWS does that. there use cases for both. everyone that went down past monday didn't have all of what i mentioned above. why? it's not easy, quick and cheap to have all of that. there's room on the cloud for all use cases.

I do like HEB but their locations in DFW are far too few and all of their locations are chaotic. I would rather get a Joe V which they only have 2 around the area.

so in the meantime i go to a walmart neighborhood market which i have 2 just 2 miles away. i wouldn't go that far to pay $100 a year just to avoid me going to the store. i don't want people choosing produce, meat and fruit for me

Comment why? (Score 2) 28

why spend resources on this? just grab one or two well established desktop distros, and ensure your packages work as good as possible. leave the distro itself up to the distro teams.

for good or worse, this means ubuntu. i have used arch before and i really like it, but it's not meant to be for the average user (if there's such a thing with linux)

i can't disable IPv6 on the google tv (huge android limitation). and i don't want to disable it on the router for every device, which means that the home screen can still easily get ads. switched to a different launcher and at least that's done. of course, can't get rid of freetime / prime / hulu ads

i have a hybrid. gets me around 450 miles. decent, although i should really be getting at least 500.

it was probably 15K more expensive compared to a equivalent gas only car, which is the thing i regret the most.

i will switch to electric once they increase the range to 500 miles and the company proves the cost of the electricity AND installing the charger is less than the gas cost.

depends on the job. i had a relative that worked on oil rigs. he was in charge of hiring. he said the indians were the best because even if they knew nothing at the beginning, they were willing to learn and do whatever to make their bosses happy. workers from other countries had lower motivation and thus lower performance.

anecdotal, maybe, but that's the point, it depends on the job and industry. same reason most construction workers in the area that i live are hispanic. they are the only ones willing to put with hard work. same can be said about most low level agriculture jobs. for a reason these workers could work even if not being legal during covid, because no one else would do the job
