i had a ‘google tv’ back in 2011 - made by Sony who partnered with google - it was like an amped up bluray player/streaming box in one. it had a great sony blu-ray optical drive, could stream what services were available at the time and had the best remote control I’ve ever seen… i loved it. Unfortunately google’s planned obsolescence destroys products. you guys left it useless just 2 years after i purchased it new.
that’s pretty funny and equally embarrassing. thank you for sharing. i admit, I don’t pay much attention to traditional lunch times becsuse i mainly meet with network ops folks who have no concept of time or work-life balance. 24/7 or bust. i have a beard so foods like ribs, and tacos that fall apart are my kryptonite. i feel like i need to take a face shower after a meal at times. And honestly after the quarantine period of covid i felt like i had to learn how to interact with society again. cheers.
i used OpenScan recently, another FOSS app - worked ok. Sources: Izzy’s repo or Google Play
without a ton of thought, and other than my current house:
travel, in general. recently a trip to sail out of svalbard down to norway. it’s another world up there
an inexpensive handtruck is one of the most useful tools i have
a ‘prosumer’ grade espresso machine and a grinder is used and loved every single day

strange, i started having this same issue on brave about 3 months ago. i installed firefox and am not having this problem. no battery / background restrictions set for either
when i was a kid i would go to the library all the time until 10, which was late for me at that age. i wasn’t a big reader, but it was a perfect excuse to escape family.
nice. i just stumbled on this community while looking for some ‘ornamental’ grasses to plant this month…reducing my lawn one chunk at a time.
sure, but this looks super relaxing
actually, hunter-gatherer communities ‘work’ significantly less time than we do in our corporate jobs. farming is a different story: here’s one study: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190520115646.htm
i took this 3 day ‘7-habits’ course as a network ops manager. myself and a couple others who were in there kept asking how we can apply this to our environment. they couldn’t answer and by the end of the three days they just flat out said that these skills won’t work at all in NOC management. i enjoy learning new skills, but those three days were miserable.

i have watched my dad get completely scammed by the process of entering a retirement community over the past three years. nothing illegal, but taking every penny from retired folks is big business! our family is notoriously stubborn and nothing i said or did seemed to make a difference.
Try to ensure, if they won’t listen to you, that they at least have a lawyer present when signing away their life savings. and several years before that even happens work with an advisor (who is actually looking out for customers’ interests…shop around fire the advisors until you find one who isn’t a con-man) to shelter as much money as possible. i failed at getting him to do either of those things.
Genuinely curious where you’re getting these numbers. I can’t seem to find any formal public opinion polls on the enacted or proposed bills
Mods seem to allow any content. Would be nice to see a tech community that wasn’t a gossip column about billionaires
