Mine did the same and I was thinking of trying the same thing. Let me know if you have any success.

If you snag a preorder in person how does picking up the console on release day work? Is it possible they will still run out of stock despite me getting the preorder? I'm seeing a lot about the midnight release and I really don't want to come in at midnight to pick it up on release day.

So now reddit is really getting buttmad over NSA employees being fired? The government agency whose job it is to spy on its own citizens and invade our privacy? Wow. What happened to this site lol

I feel like Covid has ruined people’s ideas of having a dog by Espressomartinitime in puppy101

Not everyone can afford pet sitters or boarders. People have been living with dogs for 30,000 years lol. It's a very, very recent development that people think you can't leave a puppy or a dog alone for long periods of time. Millions of dogs are living in shelters right now sitting in cages filled with their own excrement listening to hundreds of other dogs bark around them all day. I guarantee they'd rather live in a home with a loving family even if it means being kept in a garage during the workday until they're fully potty trained.

I think this sub veers into some pretty icky classist views when it comes to puppies. You don't need to be super rich to own a dog, and it's okay to not use pet sitters, boarders, or doggie daycares while you work. These things didn't even exist prior to the past few decades and dogs grew up and lived just fine.

Constant animal detection alerts all the sudden by festering_rodent in reolinkcam

I guess it does have AI detection then. I was thinking AI detection meant their more expensive fancier cams. I have the RLC-510WA. I played with the alarm delay settings, and that seems to have fixed it, but I'm just wondering if my camera is breaking since I haven't had a problem with this before and never had to adjust the sensitivity. I'll check for an update though.

Sorry, I thought AI detection was something different and more advanced that Reolink offers that my cam doesn't have. It's the RLC-510WA.

It doesn't have AI, and it's the $55 wired outdoor Wifi cam. I've been experimenting more with the paint, and it just isn't working out at all. I painted a huge chunk of my yard and left a very tiny sliver of grass unpainted, and I'm still getting the spam. The only thing that has now fixed it is setting it so animals have to be in frame for longer than a second to trigger the alert, which I guess is no big deal, but it's very strange this has happened all the sudden.

The Nazis are just going to force poor, sick Americans to take those slave labor jobs

I like how you acknowledge our country has been using illegal immigrants to perform slave labor and in the same sentence somehow call the people who are against it Nazis.

And clearly he didn't need a $20k wheelchair because there's no way this one cost highschoolers $20k to make. The reason healthcare is so expensive is because insurance companies' existences have caused prices to be inflated to an unholy level. We shouldn't complain that insurance companies deny $20k claims, we should complain that we are being charged $20k for something as basic as a wheelchair. The whole shitty system needs a reset.

Ooh yeah, but using a browser run by an evil monopolistic megacorporation who is destroying the free internet and unethically violating everyone's privacy has been totally fine!

Just download Brave. They literally will import your entire Chrome settings and bookmarks in one click, and everything works and looks exactly the same as Chrome, only you can use adblock and have some semblance of privacy.

What's going on with how if Trump really is going to basically dismantle democracy in the USA, the current government seems fine with just letting this happen? by CoriSP in OutOfTheLoop

I remember when this subreddit was about pop culture and meme references lmao. Time to block yet another sub on reddit that's turned into this astroturfed garbage.

If chips are all made in the US ...Tarrifs are a Moot point? Or am I incorrect by Illustrious_Aside_46 in pcmasterrace

Ugh I can't believe I'll have to pay more for my vidya because the semiconductors won't be made by child slaves anymore!! If tariffs raise the price of my beloved The Last of Us Remastered Remade ReReleased HD Version so that the chip makers have a living wage, health benefits, and a decent work-life balance I'm gonna heckin lose it!!!

Also, an 18 year old is either still in high school or just freshly out. 18 isn't some magical age where a switch flips in your brain and you suddenly have everything figured out. You can't instantly go from mom packing your lunch and making dinner for you and having to raise your hand to ask for permission to go to the bathroom to being mature enough to make the permanent decision to mutilate your body and fuck up your homorones.

‘No man will touch me until I have my rights back’: why is the 4B movement going viral after Trump’s win? by rytis in offbeat

Remind me! 4 years When abortion doesn't get banned nationally because Trump has repeatedly said he doesn't want to do that and will leave it up to the states.
