I do want to stop using google maps in its entirety, but there are problems with all the other map and navigation apps that haven't been solved that google has working just fine.

Say I want directions to a store or restaurant 20-30 minutes away. I know what its called, not its exact location, so I type its name in and google can give me a list of all places with that name no issue.

I try that in magic earth, organic maps, co maps, its a toss up if it knows the place I am trying to find. So I try typing in the exact address if I have time and can find it online. 90% of the time that just doesn't find the place, and givss me an entire street to look down.

Lastly, often I want to call these places ahead of time, or look at a menu, get a vague idea how much it costs. Google maps just... has that information right there. Hours, images of food, menus, everything. No one else has that, and complications arise, especially when Duck Duck Go give me the wrong number and I place a pick up order from a place on the wrong side of town.

I want to replace google, but damn it if right now its just the best option and doesn't screw anything up. There are times when I cannot afford being late or lost and I can't risk using the other ones.

I just had this exact sentiment with the navigation app Magic Earth. A Google alternative that works decently enough, doesn't rob my data, and also has a built in dash cam function and is all for free? Sign me up! They just went freemium. Dash cam and a bunch of other features are now locked behind a paywall, and it came with an update one couldn't avoid. I'm so pissed, and really wish I could have avoided that. Now I'm searching for a half decent alternative.

Hello, I am apparently an idiot. What is wrong with that IP address that people can tell it's an immediate phishing scam?

I can't fit 3 120mm lian LI fans up top on this case, a Fractal Design Meshify 3, even though I thought PCpartpicker said it could. On top of that, the SL and CL series fans dont share the same touch points for transmitting power. So the one on the back would have no power to exhaust, and my reverse flow up at the front spot on the roof can't share with what would have been the other two fans. Clear oversights, oops. So now I have what is effectively two fans up top, and two fans I can't even use.

Well, not too sure how to fix this. Anyone have ideas on how I might salvage this or get the original idea to work? I uhh... I am not sure where to go from here. Not exactly urgent, one of the parts isn't here yet and I'm still waiting on things.

Also to clarify: I can't find the article or document anymore, but I was trying to emulate a fan setup that was supposedly ideal for hot components and environments (Florida.) Standard 7 fan config, but the front most top fan is intake not exhaust, supposedly it has a great effect on cooling as it wasn't just removing the fresh air from the highest front case fan.

So long as I can do this stuff for myself, I'm happy to spread the love!

Are those razor subscription services any good? The dollar shave clubs and Harry's and stuff like that? I've never really seen the point, seeing as a local dollar store has cheap razors in them in 5 packs. Am I missing out on something?

Edit: So what I am seeing from this is get a safety razor, or learn how to do a straight razor shave, and if for some reason I want to see what the "premium" option is like try delco. Alright, thanks for the tips!
