prime video aggregates some content sure but offers little to no benefit otherwise

same as bundling saves you money, i would be able to aggregate multiple services into one and save money.

before netflix started out, all shows were available on cable, and you could bundle most channels and pay a flat fee which usually was in the low hundreds. now with all of the multiple streaming networks, adding all of them will cost you around the same money, especially after each one of them have raised their prices so much with the excuse that they are adding new content

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

this feels like a facebook newsfeed. old reddit cloned old digg. i can't stand new reddit, so i will continue to use old reddit while it still exists

who is going to connect to a plex server outside of the home, and over public internet?

install tailscale to bypass this, or switch to jellyfin (though i have to admit i prefer the plex player UI)

if they can generate most of their electricity by wind, why is their electricity so expensive? you would think with so many energy sources, competition would be fierce and they would get cheaper energy

At least the main body got it right.

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.

You can. With a browser plugin called "Short Stop".

well, the source is out there, so if the community really cares, they can rewrite it to be a native client with distro based dependencies so a snap is not needed

sometimes a snap makes sense because then it can be reused on more distros

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

virtualbox is good but irrelevant to this conversation as it's not used in the enterprise so vmware doesn't care about it.

I ran a dedupe on my drive and eliminated 8 redundant copies of the goatse guy.

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.
