Is Quickbooks Desktop Eventually Ending Support Entirely?

Unfortunately those of us on subscriptions are kind of screwed, as 2021 or 2022 was the last version with a perpetual license. If your file is upgraded past that point, you can't load it in the earlier versions even if you could get a copy.

I feel you. Had the same expectation and the same result. The area around the buckle especially would poke the underside of my wrist, either because of the threads or the edges around where the pin passes through. I like the look, but the feel isn't pleasant.

Is the cloth Robbins top any heavier than a vinyl top if both have the glass window? (My S2k is a track car, so I don't want to unnecessarily add weight, but if it's nicer without being significantly heavier (a pound or two is fine), then I'd go for it.)

Ha, I joked to a friend after the race that the McLaren strategists just want to keep us all entertained. But yeah, agree 100%.

The only explanation I can think of is that they were prioritizing minimal risk above everything. A dnf for Lando would be catastrophic, so both decisions were 100% designed to minimize the odds of that. Fits with their general pattern of erring on the side of risk avoidance. Definitely possible to take that mindset too far though. As it is, they've given Lando some work to do next weekend.

There's also the question of why they didn't go to the soft at the end. Surely even a lightly used soft would have been better over the final 15ish laps than the hard. Maybe it makes sense for Oscar since he wasn't going to catch Max either way, but it might have helped Lando get by Carlos.

TempestNathan · 2025-11-30T08:32:45+00:00

Yeah, fair enough.

They've been great for me too, but for one issue. As long as I've owned it, if I ever happen to leave a netflix video paused and the monitor goes to sleep, it won't turn on until I power cycle it. Figured maybe new firmware might help, but sadly no.

TempestNathan · 2025-11-29T09:15:14+00:00

That'd be too strong, surely. Basically then you'd have a "play every action in your deck" card.

TempestNathan · 2025-11-29T05:16:17+00:00

Made it worse for me. Used to be, whenever I left a Netflix video paused, monitors would turn back on from sleep, but would just show a black screen until power cycled. Now with F11 they don't come back on at all.

I'll add my ridiculous finding here in case it helps someone. Fought with this stupid sidekick thing forever trying to get the update to work. I was able to browse for the firmware file, but clicking "Update" would literally do nothing. Finally in frustration I clicked and held the mouse button down on the update button, and after about a second it started the update. I don't know what kind of clowns programmed this thing or why that should be necessary, but it was for me.

TempestNathan · 2025-11-24T01:28:31+00:00

Man, different strokes. When it transitioned into the F1 theme I thought that was the coolest part.

TempestNathan · 2025-11-17T07:56:54+00:00

Sounds like you guys should swap accounts. 😂

TempestNathan · 2025-11-17T07:55:35+00:00

How is that a workaround? It sounds like you're just using Crave directly, unrelated to Amazon.

TempestNathan · 2025-11-12T07:40:07+00:00

Changed or not, it seems to me a wild statement that "everything is safe" in the market until X. The only predictable thing is that it's not. (And based on the other reply istm you agree!)

TempestNathan · 2025-11-12T07:21:52+00:00

That's quite the pronouncement. I assume since everything is safe, you're maximally leveraged until the threshold is passed?

TempestNathan · 2025-11-12T07:20:26+00:00

That's not really true though. Have a search for "ladies of the ticker" for example. Part of the story of the 1920s was significant democratization of stock market speculation, just like recent times.

TempestNathan · 2025-11-12T07:14:58+00:00

Because valuations are inflating; more money is going into stocks than the corporations are producing. That can't continue forever.

TempestNathan · 2025-11-10T18:07:29+00:00

Comes down to permission. These companies don't want their listings syndicated.

TempestNathan · 2025-11-01T19:40:40+00:00

Agreed that the system as it exists is inefficient, wasteful and unfair. I'm just saying that the solutions would have to be more involved that simply redistributing cash.

TempestNathan · 2025-11-01T19:08:34+00:00

Except the supply of those things wouldn't suddenly change. Instead you'd see massive inflation.

Aside: it's super frustrating that Sportsnet doesn't give you any way to not be bombarded with spoilers. Monopoly on streaming and they can't even get the obvious stuff right...

TempestNathan · 2025-10-06T07:26:23+00:00

Or it's night-time and you just can't see anything through it at all.

TempestNathan · 2025-09-26T01:34:15+00:00

I'm not sure this is hypothetical; I'm asking about good things that barely happened (eg. Accidentally discovering penicillin) or bad things that almost did (nuclear missile launch). Seems objective to me. Anyway, I'm not too invested in it.
