These people might be two-footed drivers. My mother used to do this and you’d see the brakes flash on and off while following behind her because she’d be hovering her foot on the brake pedal while also hitting the accelerator.

The only difference is the administration of the instance (their activeness, beliefs and how they choose to moderate), what instances they federated or defederated with (like hexbear and lemmygrad), and what features they’ve chosen to implement or not (like downvotes). For casual use, it probably doesn’t make a difference.

I’m just now realizing my primary account is here on .ee as well. I have one with lemmy.one and midwest.social but I’ll probably make a new one somewhere else like dbzero unless they’re still federated with hexbear since .one doesn’t use downvotes and I have constant connection issues with midwest.social.

SiriusXM is now buying up a ton of popular podcasts and locking new episodes behind a completely separate membership from my Spotify subscription, so my feed is filling with a bunch of locked episodes. They’ve found a way to torture everyone not just those people who tried a free trial (or were given one after buying a car).

“Get to de choppah!” they said as they rushed toward the garbage disposal.

Roll that beautiful bean footage.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like this and don’t see how it could be much of a viable product but you could just cut the cord off any headphone jack and plug it in (not sure how many tvs come with headphone jacks either) to achieve the same goal or get a phone with an IR blaster like another commenter suggested.

I did enjoy watching them get up to hijinks but I didn’t want to get trapped trying to complete 14 more seasons of mediocre story telling. I am I big fan of the “monster of the week” type shows which are few and far between these days, but it didn’t seem worth it from what I read.

What do they call “fanny packs” in the UK? Vagina pouches?

It may be the phrasing in your original comment. It sounds like you’re questioning why anyone would watch videos on YouTube rather than questioning why YouTube is lumped in with traditional streaming service rankings.

I watch a ton of automotive centric channels, hobbyist electronics/PC/home automation/3D printing channels and a few weird niche ones like drain cleaning and dashcams, stuff you would never see (or has never been viable) on TV at least without a bunch of product placement and manufactured drama.

For TV and movies I have my own media server and I just download the stuff I, or friends and family, want to watch but I think the experience, content, and presentation is quite different than what you find on Youtube. They fill different roles for me personally as one is pure entertainment while the other is a mix of educational and entertainment in typically shorter formats.

Disney also owned April’s top streaming title, Grey’s Anatomy, which notched 3.9 billion viewing minutes and benefited from its multichannel and multiplatform availability.

WTF how are so many people still watching this show agter 20+ years? I honestly find this pretty shocking.

It can print on any surface so you could throw a mug in there and print on the side of it apparently. 3D printers require a flat bed to print an object on. It sounds like the mechanics are similar to a resin printer but with the ability to print on top of an existing object.

Duct tape is probably not always readily available mid-flight.

I am also a huge fan of Lower Decks. It will be missed! The crossover episode with SNW was fantastic.

Strange New Worlds is great Trek if you haven’t seen it.

I watched this one late and saw all the talk online about stopping after season 5 or 6 whatever and haven’t regretted my decision to follow that advice.

Turns out OP is talking about the 1880s

I’d like to imagine that you’ve found an ethernet cable that mimics the long coiled phone cords of the '80s and '90s so that you can walk around the house with your desktop PC chatting with your girlfriends all evening after school.

And wiring is typically rated for current limits not voltage (within reason). Some 12 gauge wire doesn’t care if you’re pushing 12V, 120V, or 240V but is only rated for 20A.
