I start having pleasant auditory hallucinations. I’m also very susceptible to delta waves like white noise putting me to sleep. Might go together. 🤷🏼♂️

Oof.
Sadly, I see this working quite well. Does Google get paid per how long the ad is shown? Guessing they get paid more for an ad that plays all the way without being skipped.
Another chiming in on the best device by a long shot is the AppleTV. It’s damn fast and its UI is actually nice to use. Oh and all the apps are always up to date. Zero ads just sitting on the screen anywhere.
Ahhh, that’s a reason that makes sense. Much better than the article itself. Thanks.
Not everyone can. Work machines for instance.
This is a creative endeavor too. That’s why.
Or get network wide blocking. Doesn’t prevent everything but it does prevent most ads. Makes the internet tolerable at least.
People who use Webex, zoom, etc for one use in try browser and don’t normally use those links. Happens at work when an outside vendor doesn’t use what we do.
That’s an interesting one. In the US I haven’t found a store brand that was the same as Sensodyne. They’re all crap here comparatively.
This is a very true concept.
We recently built a house in a neighborhood that purposely has no privacy fences, it’s open concept. All of our yards have low cedar fencing you can clearly see through. This encourages neighbors to actually get to know one another. It works; I haven’t felt this connected to people since I grew up playing with the neighborhood kids. Everyone living here feels the same way. Oh and I’m an introvert. I just realized that continual isolation is not great for mental health.
Get out there and actually ask how your neighbor is doing and be interested in their response. Be willing to help. You’ll feel better than you have in a long time. We are social creatures and need that. Feel like the world is collapsing? Then get out of your own way and help someone else. It’s a feeling you can’t buy. The richest people are those that have the most connections. They’re usually the happiest and most mentally stable too. It all starts by being willing to say how’s it going? Where are you from? What brings you here? Everyone has a story and we all love to talk about ourselves. It just takes some longer than others to open up.
I have an elderly retired neighbor that sits in front of his house most days and hands dog treats out to the dogs being walked by. He knows all of them and their owners. He’s made some awesome connections and friends. Everyone knows him and when someone is in need he isn’t afraid to ask the other neighbors to help. It’s a great relationship with someone others would see as a nosy neighbor. For us he’s a connection to other neighbors we haven’t met yet due to time at work, etc. He’s one of my all time favorite people just because he actually cares about us all. Be that person. You can do it!
If you haven’t read the hackaday comments I highly recommend you do. Some really great behind the scenes experiences people are posting. Super cool.
I was sold on laser the minute I had to print something after a month of not needing to and it just popped out before I could get to it (thanks for AirPrint/wifi printing). My old inkjet would’ve been dried up and had to be cleaned taking like 10 minutes and wasting paper. Yeah, laser is the only way to go.
We just print photos from Walgreens or Shutterfly if we need quality color photos. Super cheap and I don’t have to maintain the equipment. Although about the only photo printing we do these days is large for the wall on glass or canvas.
Our favorite photos are also displayed on our living room AppleTV’s screensaver. We just favorite them in the Photos app and they automatically show up. My parents are used to seeing our favorite photos from vacations when house sitting before we’ve even told them what attraction we’re doing. Best feature ever.
Stick Figure - World on Fire. Beautiful ear worm.
This is the cleanest way but does take some work to get going. It also has the benefit of full video quality when web only shows 720p.
NES:
GB:
This is what got me. There are 5 of us in our household and all of us have devices. 500/500 is what I went with even though I could have 1Gb/1Gb. Most of the time 500/500 is faster than the servers we’re on. I don’t do a ton of download images or anything and we’ve never had an issue streaming 4K/gaming all at once so on it we sit. I just don’t see the point of moving to 1Gb. I’ll probably have to be forced onto it in the future. My service has 2.5Gb in places and is looking to go 10Gb at some point. That’s just completely unnecessary currently and would be a waste of money for most.
This is an excellent idea.
If you really want to help and they want you to be on your own (and probably are enjoying their solitude) this is a neat way to do so. They don’t want help now but they may in the future.
Though, as a parent myself, I’m guessing they’d want you to save for yourself and realize they can take care of themselves. Good parents want what’s best for their children without thinking of themselves, it’s a sacrificial relationship.
However, what they do want is a continuing relationship. Call or meet with them regularly. Take pictures of you and your adventures. If you decide to start a family send them plenty of pictures of the grandkids and have dinner with them regularly if you’re close by.
