Those are some grim coffee options. If your store carries jumping bean (mine does) they’re from Newfoundland. There’s some good rosters you can buy online like Detour. Of course if you’re in a city like Vancouver Montreal or Toronto you have endless local rosters but even smaller towns will usually have one or two good ones.

Keanu Reeves!

Or BBQ. A lot of veggies get a bad rap because the older generations just boiled everything.

Based on what? All apps just look like this now. If you blurred the content and told me this was the Netflix app, I’d be like yeah checks out.

Things like unit tests I just have AI do it all now. Since running the test tells you your coverage you can verify if it got everything or not.

There’s a good episode a few months back where the CEO of Logitech tries to justify the mouse subscription.

I did get an email from HIBP so at the very least they got my email

If I buy the 82 dollar turkey today and sell it when the turkey market hits 100 do I have to declare turkey capital gains

Hell yea. Our unit test coverage went way up because you can blow through test creation in second. I had a large complicated migration from one data set to another with specific mutations based on weird rules and GPT got me 80% of the way there and with a little nudging basically got it perfect. Code that would’ve taken a few hours took about 6 prompts. If I’m curious about a new library I can get a working example right away to see how everything fits together. When these articles say there’s no benefit I feel people aren’t using these tools or don’t know how to use them effectively.

I love this. I feel like the internet used to be full of these crazy little art projects.

I’ve got one on the way Best Buy screwed up the pre-order and didn’t get enough stock in so I’m left waiting. But yea seems like by all accounts it’s roughly the size of a regular phone plus you get a small tablet when you want.

This is why they rarely pull your whole library, it’s too noticeable and all these services have is public faith they’re going to still be there. More often the case you’ll just lose access to a purchase here and there and usually goes undetected especially if you have a large collection.

Yea Audible too. I can’t remember the name of the tool but you can connect to your account and it pulls all your purchases locally DRM free. It was handy for setting up Audiobookshelf

Exactly. I wish these types of posts would change “music these days” to “pop these days” because that’s what they’re talking about.

It’s debatable when pop actually began but pop as we know it really codified in the 80s with dawn of MTV and acts like Madonna and Michael Jackson. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Queen, etc were popular but I wouldn’t classify any of this as Pop. Pop has always been pretty people because it was by its nature tied to a visual medium.

People need to stop using Pop as a stand in for all music. We have more access to music than ever before and a lot of the music I listen to regularly, I have no idea what they look like.

Just don’t connect it to the internet and it’s a dumb display, simple as that

Yea I’ve got a 65" OLED with Dolby Vision. I’d have a hard time going back to anything else. But why even worry about smart features at all when an offline TV is effectively the same as a monitor anyway for less money and more entertainment specific features.

Long story short they turn songs into digital fingerprints, where it can be stored in a tiny way. When you start recording you’re making a fingerprint as well. Then it just starts testing yours against its database.

Looks like that comment is gone now

The Leftovers. If I were to ever put together a top 10 list of personal favorites, this would be at the top then in a distant second I could start ranking the rest. I love how fully realized its concepts were. I love how it stuck true to its convictions right up to the end. I love the mashup of science fiction and fantasy and grief and contemporary life. I love the beautiful Max Richter score. For a show that starts pretty bleak in the first few episodes you really feel the love and warmth by the end of the series and the discovery of inner piece.

I always like to add this caveat to anyone jumping in, the first half of season one can be tough. Episode 3 is a good taste of what the show is at its best and episode 6 is one of the best in the series and the point where most people are fully hooked.

It definitely does, it pulls satellite data of the whole world
