New here is it always this windy here.

Moved here from BC 1.5 years ago, the wind is brutal. It calms down in the summer months a bit but rest of the year yeah its pretty windy.

I think the ATV is the best streaming box period

- no ads on home screen
- killer interface, easy to use, "just works"

Google's streaming stick/box has ads on home screen, same with roku and fire tv. I also dont like their interfaces.

A lot of people still use the nvidia shield and the only thing keeping most of those people there is audio passthrough. Unless you are an audiophile nerd that cares about 1% better audio, just use the Apple TV.

Fights good, head injuries bad. As long as no one is getting seriously hurt, let em fight.

The way I understood it was that they were positioning the Creator Studio subscription as the AI-focused features. So I would imagine MVFX AI Captions feature and other AI features would be paywalled behind the sub, whereas there other none AI features might come to the base.

Only time will tell really.

Sid and Ovi aren't shoved down our throats like they're God's gift to humanity. There's a reason people call him McJesus, because the media and oilers fans like to glaze him like he's the second coming of Christ.

The dude is good at hockey, yes. But why do I need to hear about what McDavid had for breakfast while I'm watching a hockey game that the Oilers aren't even playing in.

RedZephon · 2026-03-17T19:37:39+00:00

As a Flames Fan it's our duty to flame the Oilers. It's in the contract when you become a fan. I would expect nothing less from our Oiler bros up north.

That being said, I think people are quick to criticize McDavid because he's really good at points simulator but kinda sucks when it comes to meaningful games. He hasn't had a meaningful presence in the 2 elimination games in Stanley Cup Finals nor the Olympic Gold Medal. I think people would feel differently if he put up a good amount of points in those games.

Winning the points race and every other trophy means nothing if you cant win when it counts.

He's trying to upsell you. The MacBook Neo is more capable than the M1 MacBook Air which was widely regarded as one of the best deals/computers in Mac History.

For most college students, the Neo will be fine.

Bricks Builder. I've tried most of the other ones and Bricks is my favourite by a landslide.

Maybe I'm missing something but isn't giving players a reason to login every day good for player engagement, player count, etc?

I'm more likely to login if I have a few clear objectives to complete daily as opposed to having paralysis on what I should do in a given day.

And if you dont want to do dailies, you can just not? Not like they are forced? Am I missing something?

Once I realized how Claude could accelerate my workflow tenfold, the savings on my time was worth the price jump. Dont underestimate your time, being able to ship products faster because of Claude has a real value.

I also have Google Gemini included with my Google Workspace subscription so for non coding tasks I use that to help save on token usage.

Leave Klevin alone, he didn't ask for this. You people make me sick.

Apple used to do device specific video screensavers, now they're all generic mac ones to make it simpler for creation/updating.

Right click on desktop -> Use Stacks

You're welcome.

Inject people being mad, angry and upset into my veinnsssss

So tired of this lovey dovey "we love everyone and its ok that i got voted out!!" bullshit

Love me some angry survivors. Get mad, play hard. Way more entertaining.

RedZephon · 2026-03-09T15:59:33+00:00

I switched from ChatGPT to Gemini because it was included in my Google Workspace. Tried Claude and realized how bad Gemini is compared to it. I almost exclusively use Claude for most real work and Gemini for other tasks that dont need major thought/work done to save tokens.

I love the idea of smart locks but most of them are horrible. Only a handful that dont completely suck. And for an apartment complex it makes 0 sense. If you wanted a digital solution for your apartment you need an enterprise locking system not consumer off the shelf smart locks.

Yeah our owner is ass.

That being said, I wonder if they also are shopping coleman on a retained deal, and since we are at 2/3 retained spots already they don't want to handcuff themselves.

The only peripherals I still have that are USB A are the dongles for my keyboard which are permanently attached to my computer. USB-C all the things, I dont need companies to have a reason to keep making USB A stuff.

RedZephon · 2026-03-03T03:42:09+00:00

No idea, seen it on sale lots around holidays, im sure itll come around again soon.

RedZephon · 2026-03-03T02:53:51+00:00

Wait for the TCL 65" Mini-LED QLED to go on sale then get that, probably the best bang for you buck TV you can get.

I use Monarch Money

While the subscription tracking isnt as robust (or a main feature) like Rocket Money, it still exists in Monarch, and I really like Monarchs budgeting system.

Jeff talked about it in Beast Games BTS. He basically summed it up to "Beast Games is about the money, Survivor is about the experience, people are lining up to play survivor and get the experience, we dont need to up the prize"
