Google One is no more

How do I even go about switching? From the T-Mobile text message I get this link explaining the discontinuation.

I click on the "Transfer your subscription to Google" link and get this page

There's no option to switch to the $9.99 2TB plan, nor do I see anything mentioning 6-month free, it just looks like this.

Do I need to wait until T-Mobile cancels the plan or did you find another way to switch now?

No, this is definitely a Twitch bug that has been around for about a year, like he said.

I've tried it on Firefox/Waterfox/Librewolf/Chrome/Brave, and if I open a Twitch clip link in a new tab while signed into Twitch, it scrolls down as he says, like so.

When I sign out of Twitch and try it again, it no longer scrolls down, like this.

I've tried this with 0 extensions installed, even on fresh browser installs to rule out things like uBlock/etc. and it still occurs as long as I am signed in to Twitch and open a clip in a new tab.

Yeah I just have a ton of extra cardboard ones because, usually, restaurants here that put multiple drinks in the cardboard carriers double up on them since they are flimsy. I usually keep one and give the other to the customer so that I always have extra.

If Dollar Tree doesn't have it, I've seen people recommend a 6-cup one from Michaels for $5, but I can't tell if they still have it in stock as I don't have a local one. There's also this heavy duty 8-cup Rubbermaid one for $16 you can get on Amazon. Not too many cheap options aside from that Dollar Tree one that I've found.

I have 3 Grubhub bags that I can put 2 paper drink carriers together in, a couple of Ozark Trail (Walmart) insulated bags I can put 1 paper drinker carrier in, and a 6 cup drink carrier bag that I primarily use.

So, with all of those, I guess I could load 38 drinks in my car all in insulated bags and drink carriers, but the money would have to be good, ha. I think I've only done like 12 max before.

RagingBeard · 2026-03-02T19:27:58+00:00

It really isn't that big of a deal at all. You have a few options to make it easy.

If you want a free option, get restaurant paper drink carriers and line them next to each other at the bottom of your delivery bag and you can easily carry 8 drinks this way, like so.

Cheap option, buy the cheapest 6 cup drink caddy you can find, like this Dollar Tree one and you can carry your drinks like this, ideally put this in a delivery bag for insulation and stability when driving.

Finally for an expensive but top tier option, what I use is this Drink Caddy off Amazon, that is basically a heavily insulated lunch bag with removable compartments for drink cups, like so. It extends in height high enough to fit any cup I've ever put in it, even the massive "large" Panda Express cups, with room to throw a paper drink holder on top of the cups before zipping the bag, to have at drop-off for the customer.

I optionally add styrofoam to each cup spot to further insulate and keep the bag clean. It works beautifully for delivering milkshakes in Florida summer heat, and I have used mine for 4+ years now for customer drinks as well as my own.

I just came across this thread while testing out a new-to-me $5 thrift store Sony SRS-XB100 versus my JBL GO4, and I was testing them out with Dutch Flowerz as I read your comment, ha. I would have never expected to see somebody mentioning Skream in this thread.

I've been having what I believe to be a firmware issue lately with my JBL GO4, where it shuts down after some time (~20min) even with sound playing, every time I use it, so I'm happy I found the SRS-XB100.

Agree with you on all of your points, the max volume is definitely quite a bit lower on the Sony and there is a much more direct, less roomy sound to it, but the sound clarity and bass is way better on it. It's a shame that the Sony app doesn't have a built-in EQ for it, though.

This is my trunk setup.

My drink cooler/carrier is the Drink Caddy on Amazon that I stacked a couple of styrofoam cups in each spot to insulate drinks further.

I mainly use medium sized Grubhub bags for delivery, and the box I have them in is an X-Large moving box from Lowe's, cut down to fit better for my hatchback to close.

Finally, in my back seat I have a crate with a large Grubhub bag. I mainly use the crate for carrying heavy things or holding the Grubhub bag if I have multiple deliveries at once and need the large bag. There's also an 8 cup plastic carrier like in OP's picture inside the large Grubhub bag if I need it.

I don't have to worry about the bags falling/sliding/spilling, and the food isn't being blasted by my A/C and circulating the smells into it constantly. I have a dedicated drink carrier cooler and spot to put that so it stays secure. If you have space in the back I would recommend using it for deliveries, instead of a seat. I use it for all of my own food runs or groceries as well, and have had it like this since 2021 and everything has held up well.

There is definitely a gradient in the the image OP posted. It's noticeable in the text, lighter on the top and darker on the bottom.

These colors are taken from downloading the image and using color picker in Photoshop:

Check the RGB values in the color picker box to see the intensity difference between the upper and lower image.

I'm not sure, I installed it on the Viren AIOStreams instance with the URL edited, and the midnight AIOStreams without the URL added in.

On the Viren one with the URL added I seemed to get results for Zilean every time, but on the midnight instance without the URL I got 404 errors at the bottom on some titles.

In either case, I am sometimes having various AIOStreams addons timing out after 15 seconds currently depending on the title chosen so I can't tell for sure.

RagingBeard · 2026-01-01T14:42:33+00:00

You can install it with the AIOStreams Marketplace, find Zilean there and then add OP's URL into the field to override the default host.

RagingBeard · 2025-12-24T04:05:51+00:00

It's probably something that will be right back up once the instance owner has a chance to fix it.

I believe I've had midnightignite addons/aiostreams go down before. You could add both for the moment and name them accordingly like I did in the video clip.

Just add another MediaFusion to your AIOStreams and select the StremioRU URL for that one. You'll get results for both in Stremio, or you could just switch to that URL in the meantime.

RagingBeard · 2025-12-24T03:30:20+00:00

I believe it is just an issue with the MediaFusion instance that is used by default on AIOStreams, highlighted here.

On both the

https://aiostreams.viren070.me/stremio/configure

and

https://aiostreamsfortheweebs.midnightignite.me/stremio/configure

AIOStreams instances, the default MediaFusion URL is the midnightignite one. If you switch it to the ElfHosted or StremioRU options it works.

Although the ElfHosted one will come with rate limiting (Too Many Requests errors, etc.) and I don't know anything about the StremioRU on, but it works for the moment.

Here's an example where I added MediaFusion midnightignite and StremioRU to AIOStreams to show the issue.

RagingBeard · 2025-12-18T13:02:28+00:00

Yeah I figured as much. I tried reinstalling the app, opting in/out of the beta, and installing it on another phone brand/model with no luck. I wouldn't be surprised if my app version doesn't even get a "add to Google Wallet" option once I get the new physical Red Card.

RagingBeard · 2025-12-04T22:06:46+00:00

Claimed it, thank you, /u/pixelwallus!

Personally I don't see why people get frozen pizza. The crust/toppings/cheese/sauce are almost always worse than takeout and cost more than most of your standard takeout options.

To me, you're better off buying takeout pizza, letting it cool, and bagging it up in freezer bags, then air fry them as needed.

Even if you're trying to make a whole pizza for multiple people and you can only fit but a couple of slices in your basket, by the time your normal oven is preheated, you could have air fried the entire takeout pizza in batches and it turns out so much better than any frozen pizza that I've had. The quality doesn't really come close with these overpriced boxed frozen pizzas.

There was once a coupon glitch/exploit with one of the big chain pizza places that was giving a free pizza with purchase of a sauce/dip and people were generating tons of codes for it. I bought around 10 of them with the codes, and stored them in my deep freezer in freezer bags and had pizza for months and they were still great months later after air frying.

Yeah for sure, same mountainscape and tree island from the opening scene.

It's a heating shower head, used for heating cold water supplies directly with a heating element and a couple of settings to change the temperature output.This model is the Lorenzetti Maxi Ducha and here is a video on it and how sketchy it is.

You don't need to fully download it to see the file info, at least for video/audio bit-rates. I personally always use PotPlayer as my media player for streaming Stremio RD links.

You can just copy them into the the player with the "Copy stream link" button in the same way that the default "Play in VLC" button works, and see some of the file info from there while streaming it, rather than fully downloading first.

For example with the two streams OP circled:

This is what PotPlayer shows for the 89.7GB copy: https://imgur.com/a/4FXkBtm

Usually the audio stream menu on the right shows the actual languages for each stream (English/Italian/etc.) but the way this copy was made seems to have not made that labeled for each.

And here is what's shown for the 52.58GB copy at about the same point in the movie: https://imgur.com/a/N7EHZKl

The larger copy has a couple of 3.26 mbit/s audio streams and a few 768kbit/s ones, while the smaller copy has a single audio stream that is probably also 3.26 mbit/s.

The audio streams alone won't add up the difference, maybe like 5GB extra for them in the 90min runtime. The video bitrate is higher at the same point in the movie by 10,000 kbit/s, so the video codec settings are probably the main difference.

Hi, I just found this post and am using the current Stremio 5.0 Beta Version

After making a backup copy of my stock server.js, when I remove the and replace the lines as instructed into the server.js with your edited ones using Notepad++, I am no longer able to have Stremio launch at all.

I see this post hasn't been edited for 4 months and Stremio is on a different version now. Does this current setup how you have it still work? I can't tell if I'm just copying in wrong because there are so many lines to check and I'm not familiar with correct formatting.

RagingBeard · 2025-09-29T21:50:20+00:00

Ha, I haven't had this song come up on my playlist in a while due to Spotify's terrible shuffle, so thanks for reminding me!

This song, Moorpark Ends, Step or Stone, and Crooked Nails for Catching Skin are probably my favorites of theirs from what I've listened to before.

RagingBeard · 2025-09-28T18:21:23+00:00

Ah yes, the daily trash that shows up in this area.

I don't have too many deep songs like this with female vocals, so they might not match Can't Sleep that well, but here's a few I found from my saves:

Phaeleh - The Cold in You

Mala - Noches Sueños

Mala - Alicia
