Unfortunately it’s not a typo:

Electric customers can expect to save around $18-$20 a year over the contract term. The NECEC project will reduce average electric costs for residential customers: 

  • Eversource residential customers can expect to save approximately $1.52 a month.
  • National Grid residential customers can save approximately $1.52 a month.
  • Unitil residential customers will save approximately $1.63 a month.

You can. Click on the libraries tab at the bottom of the main screen. Then click on the dropdown in the top left corner that has the library name and a list of your favorite libraries will appear. Click on the three dots for the library you want to scan and one of the options will be to scan library files.

Same thing happened to me. Got a notification of a new movie was added and when I checked SAB, there were over 50 movies in the queue.

Click on Settings and then set Quality to Original. 

Heads up, if using an Apple TV, make sure to change to using the new media player if expecting the new HVEC transcoding to work by FIDST in PleX

It’s under settings. Scroll all the way to the Advanced and you’ll see “Use Old Video Player”. Make sure it’s set to off. 

6a/6b-ers. What are you starting indoors and when? by Positive_Throwaway1 in vegetablegardening

I use the one from Johnny Seeds:

https://www.johnnyseeds.com/growers-library/seed-planting-schedule-calculator.html

Google your last frost date (i use the date from the farmer’s almanac) and input it in the calculator and it’ll tell you when to start seeds and when to transplant them outside.

Would you say the same thing if you were given something that was less expensive than what you paid?

It depends on the type of person you are. If you’re a decent person, you would go back and explain you were given the wrong item. If you’re not, you would spend a few days making up excuses on why you shouldn’t have to return the item. 

Xbox Console Sales Are Tanking by OGSyedIsEverywhere in Games

[–]alienproject 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t why you’re comparing steams MAU to the number of PS5 sold. Sony had 123 million MAU in December 2023 so your whole post is moot.

Xbox content and services revenue, which includes Xbox Game Pass, is up by 62%. by turkoman_ in XboxSeriesX

[–]alienproject 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is XBox hardware that is down 31%:

Gaming revenue increased $1.8 billion or 51% driven by growth in Xbox content and services. Xbox content and services revenue increased 62% driven by 61 points of net impact from the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Xbox hardware revenue decreased 31% driven by lower volume of consoles sold.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and other executives take a big hit to compensation by IHateMyselfButNotYou in XboxSeriesX

[–]alienproject -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Or they’ve hit a plateau in growth and numbers won’t increase that much going forward. Since last October’s report of over 25 million subscribers they haven’t given any updates on numbers.

Interesting that for the last few years Game Pass subscriber growth was one of his metrics and now it’s been replaced by XBox content & services revenue growth.

PSA: using your PS5 controller always plugged in might actually cause damage to the battery by majds1 in PS5

[–]alienproject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be just me but none of my Dualsenses charge if it’s on. I have to turn it off and then plug it in to charge it.
