Flint, Michigan shuffles awkwardly

Lots of phone bans across the world lately, so maybe we will see a generational change for the youth being age restricted now.

I thought I was having a stroke

Theres a good discussion panel on this…I’ll have to find the video. Its more than one factor obviously. But phones play a role because things like dating apps don’t try to help you find your true matched partner, they want it to fail so you keep coming back looking for another partner… Etc. Social media is engineered to keep you engaged on the platform, rather than finding joy with a partner and leaving social media behind to go do fun stuff together… Which leads to less interest or less stable situation for making a family…besides the ridiculous housing costs and wage theft

I used to think that until I worked on a friends 70s muscle car. The spark plugs on the drivers aide are a pain because the steering shaft runs directly down beside plug 5 and 7. But overall all the plugs and boots suck because they are tucked under the exhaust manifold.

That’s a good deal then.

Nice.

I’m not sure about those devices, but with a paid account it unlocks speaker grouping and casting to various devices or rooms, or play here on current device function. I don’t have their device, just a raspberry pi with the OS.

Does Volumio suit your needs? I haven’t used Plex audio to compare

Not sure, my friends hate it online and in real life

The 10 year old phone OS probably is slowing all of that. If they flashed phone as a dedicated webserver it would probably be fine

Because you can’t worry about stuff that is so far down the road, as the future is always in flux. Focus on what you can control now.

Proton or Tuta mail. Supports aliasing so you can make unique email addresses per website, and trash them if you get spammed.

Singing up for a paid account you also get VPN, drive storage, password manager, docs, sheets, AI chat (I know), calendar, meetings and authenticator.

Yep. I’m old. I play Wingspan to chill, but also Mech Warrior 5 Mercenaries for some action shooting.

Just most people only have a 1Gbps card, and so 2.5 is not a real benefit. Not 5.0 either. Since bottleneck is PC

Yes I heard they were failing until they got the free advertising. Me I’m a Y Fenni fan.

You have a 5Gbps network card to handle that?

Meh, he has a point. For WFH I do a lot of large file transfers, often, plus Teams meetings, and streaming media. I have found 300 is OK, 500 is ideal. 1gig is not really worth the extra cost, unless it is symmetrical. Even then though the receiver often can’t receive at that high speed.
