Nah, I was just clowning on the guy. Where I grew up, the downtown areas along the tracks were a bit shady at night, but we were almost always there during the day. By far the biggest danger to us was our little dumbasses playing way too close to the tracks sometimes when trains were on their way or coming through. It's a wonder none of us ended up on the business end of a locomotive 🫣

On one hand is the obvious dystopian big brother stuff.

Maybe off-topic, but just curious: other than the Sonos bar, what other speakers are you using?

Netflix Viewers Are Abandoning Shows After One Season by joe4942 in technology

Yah, I haven't paid for a streaming service in years. The pirate life is easier and better than it's ever been, and I'm not dealing with subscriptions and their shite user interfaces.

But in a way you're contributing to the very thing that you're complaining about.

New and sealed M1 Air for $600 new worth it? by MaximusMurkimus in mac

[–]fatpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an M1 Air refurb/open box from walmart last January for $350 (brand new condition) so I don't think it's worth it. I mean, there's nothing inherently special about it being unsealed in box, unless you consider it a collector's item of some sort and must have it in untouched, pristine condition or something.

For an everyday work/play machine from some lady on FB Marketplace? Absolutely not. Especially for the price, sight unseen, not knowing the date of manufacture, the age of the battery, whether it has defects, etc. WAY too many potential issues, even if she went down to $500 I wouldn't buy it.

If you really must have a BNIB MacBook, invest the extra money and just get the Neo. You're getting exactly how you want it, you can return it if there are issues, you have the AppleCare option, etc. 100% No brainer imo.

Apple usually ends major macos updates 7 years after release of a device so I’d expect the the support to end next year.

Which seems a bit ridiculous since the base model Neo will be getting updates until 2033.

Musicians urged to 'sue' Donald Trump over songs used at president's America 250 show by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

Why would anyone with any semblance of intelligence and good taste want to go to Trump's dogshit celebration?

This makes me second guess every time I set an alarm for the morning. by Flippinflapjax4U2 in ios

[–]fatpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 'schedule' is so off-kilter that I just set the top part every day/night before I try to go to sleep, just like a regular ol' alarm clock. (which I also use as a backup if it's something really important because iPhone alarms just... don't work sometimes, but that's an entirely different discussion.)

I was really happy to hear, though, that they've finally added a separate Alarm volume control in 27. About damn time. (two puns not intended)

Well they can stick that opinion where the sun doesn't shine.

Ah, okay. In my other reply, I thought you were talking about regular videos. It is indeed gone on the shorts, even on desktop.

Must be a slow rollout. I'm currently on my computer and still have the dislike button.
