I mean, the argument back would just be "Rittenhouse knew it wasn't a peaceful protest and planned accordingly" ... both protests were left wing protests and both murders were committed by right wingers hoping they'd get an excuse to shoot someone.

Also - imo don't try and find inconsistency in right wing talking points, they literally do not give a flying fuck about anything other than "winning" and would spit on their mother's graves if someone told them she was a communist. Today they'll say the sky is blue, tomorrow they'll say it's orange as long as it doesn't mean agreeing with a leftist who also said it was blue.

It's like on my old Nvidia SHIELD, an update rolled in and all of a sudden there are ads on the homepage. Some people were ok with TV/movie ads being on a TV/movie device, but, why the hell would I want ads for content only available on services that I don't have? If they'd at least only given me ads for the services it knew I was subscribed to, I would have at least been less pissed off since it could have been useful.

Reached out to Nvidia and they say there isn't anything they can do, it's built that way by Google. By no means do I just blindly accept that that was accurate, but, it's still bullshit that with a basic update all of a sudden the nature of my device was completely changed (imo) and I'm expected to just suck it up or work around it with 3rd party launchers that weren't as polished.

Dunno if it's gotten better/worse in the last couple years, mine died and I elected to not replace it with another Android device.

Is this you? If so, my wife wonders what camera and software you used!

I was the same and then I rebuilt a server that originally took me forever to get up and running with all it's weird requirements and had it going in docker in like 30 minutes with my old settings imported in.

I still compartmentalize individual programs into their own VM/CTs though, even when using docker.

Still have no idea how to package one together myself though.

"We interviewed ourselves and we all agree that we're great!" --DNC, apparently

Honestly, any movie Leto is in, replacing him with Jim Carrey would improve it.

Right‽ I don't think anyone expected spinners to outlast SATA SSDs!

Right‽

"the problem isn't capitalism! It's [the natural consequences of capitalism]!"

Like, I'm sorry, but to me, this isn't the stunning argument OP seems to think it is.

Yeah, but MP was very obviously a "designed for Enshittification" company when they were charging like $20 for unlimited movies in a month and paying out full price for movie tickets that in my area were around $16 ... if I used it twice they lost a lot of money. Hell, if I used it 3x in 2 months they still lost money.

For my family, it was very much a "this isn't going to last, enjoy it while you can" program..

It did definitely show that people not going to movies isn't a shift in people's enjoyment at theaters and is instead very clearly a cost issue. Price it appropriately and people will be back in the seats. Price it too high and they'll just wait the 3 months until it comes out on streaming/disc or just completely forget about it altogether

Just my $.02

ETA: You're willing to overlook sticky floors or whatever at a $5 matinee, you're not going to overlook it paying nearly $20 and the nicer chairs are now an expectation and not just a 'value add', so that's not enough!

For a camera I've got that I don't care too much about, I had to give it a ~50KB network connection out and then it gets its handshake, but, doesn't have a good enough connection to actually upload video and then all the local features stay working. Eventually, I'll replace it, but, it's monitoring a place that I don't care about too much, so, it's low on the priority list.

Unfortunately, a light doesn't need much in the way of a connection to begin with, but, if it needs some kind of handshake, maybe you can watch the traffic with Wireshark and whitelist that specific traffic or see if someone else has done the work for it (a quick search didn't show anything for me, but, I haven't gone in depth or anything)

Same for me, looks like us diverging for the third one saved it :-D
