I tried Opera GX because it advertised the ability limit RAM consumption, and then I found out that the lowest it could go was 1GB which was not as low as I wanted.

Not the best solution, but I use a free Spotify account and IFTTT to pull a list of songs added to certain Spotify playlists, like the new rock one, to a Dropbox TXT file to find new bands. Takes some effort, but let’s me see what’s coming out.

This is where I’m at. The Framework guy was talking about how very few companies are using this AMD deal because the R&D to add it to existing models wasn’t very viable, you really only have the Asus Z13 so I feel like being ahead of the game there will be a benefit in the long run as far as their relationship with AMD. Plus they’re also doing a 12-in laptop now as well, so it’s not like they committed all their resources to this.

As someone earlier mentioned, unihertz has a few models with physical keyboards.

I know it needs to maintain the Wiki name for branding purposes, but WikTok meshes better.

I imagine his username is supposed to be ironic.

If they could get it under $400 I wouldn’t be surprised if they had tried that, kinda like those toy squares similar to tamagotchi that you could attach to each other so the sprites could interact. Or digivices, give me holographic digimon brawls.

It feels like the Humane AI Pin in that it’s kind of neat, but there’s probably already something out there that’s cheaper and safer from a privacy perspective.

Just wait till holographic displays are a thing, then we can have Cortana or Clone Wars Ahsoka on it as though we’re actually in those respective universes.

Waze is owned by Google now so it basically is maps now just with a different skin and some better features.

I’ve been using Deezer since Tidal dropped Plex support. So far the library seems to be the same as Spotify, at least I wasn’t missing too many songs when transferring my Spotify playlists in.

I like the built-in song identifier and radio station support. The song quizes are a little gimmicky, but kinda fun. I probably haven’t used it enough for recommendations to get me down, but so far nothing crazy has popped up there.

I’m not sure if it’s just my phone, but every couple days when I first launch the app, I need to close and reopen it to get it to load, my desktop app constantly throws up a banner saying the app is offline, but it doesn’t actually effect functionality, so it’s just annoying more than anything.

Thumbkey, Samsung built in when I need a gif.

I’m not sure if this would work, it would definitely be more of a hassle if it does, but can you install Veeam B&R community edition and use it’s agent to do a backup, or does that really only work on VMs?

I used it for songs that weren’t on Tidal when I transferred playlists from Spotify. I found quite afew that I liked that Tidal didn’t have. Now that that’s gone I’ve moved to Deezer and am filling out my Plex server separately.

For me, I use gift cards I receive as a test of the person that gave it. Someone I consider a collegue but not friend giving me a gift card to a place I like instantly makes me think they value me more than I thought. Person I consider a friend gives me a gift card instead of a gift, depending on the occasion, makes me think they like me, but can’t be bothered to put too much effort in, or are just doing because they feel obligated.

The only ones I’ve seen expire in the US are the VISA ones but those are basically debit cards.

It’s the US, so dental isn’t included

The category was “harmful or dangerous content” and reason was “violates ToS”

I’ve got one progam that I need for work that I cannot get to run on Linux. I’ve tried WINE on both Ubuntu and Zorin (and winlator for android). I have the installer exe file and try to launch with WINE but then nothing happens. Is that a program problem, WINE limitation, or something else? Is there a different program I should try to launch it?

I might call the non-emergency line for things, like if my car was stolen or house broken into. I think the only time I’d call the emergency line is if I felt actively in danger.

Calling the police is a lot like firearm training, never call them on something you don’t intend to kill.
