You want a quality physiotherapist not a chiropractor. This is what much of the rest of the world does without marketing.

Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?
I prefer GoG and will generally purchase from there as no drm and you end up owning your game.
However their client is a bit shit and has been for a long time (GoG galaxy). You really only need it for updates though.
Steam excels for games with lots of mods/workshop. It just works.

The four houses dads belong to.
You need to know that most power tools are ultimately owned by only a few brands
Milwaukee and Ryobi for example are both owned by TTI but the Marketing is strong.

In the beginning PayPal was needed due to credit cards not working for international payments. Now not so much. They are giving you a reason to leave.

Epic Games Store Users Have Grown by 173% in Six Years, But Revenue Only by 1.6%
GoG is generally the better alternative to steam than epic.
Steam isn’t perfect but it works and has a decent consumer oriented service. GoG is doing great with conservation and drm free options but their launcher isn’t amazing. Pair either with Heroic games launcher or similar for a great experience on almost any OS

Thirded. It just works. Even deployed to elderly relatives with wifi printers with no issues.

Fairphone Fairbuds launch with replaceable batteries, titanium drivers and ANC
Wired 3.5mm jack.
Hear me out. I don’t use Bluetooth headphones. They don’t last the commute and work day.
With a jack you can listen and charge you phone at the same time and never worry about charging your headphones/iem.
If I need to use Bluetooth for connection I still can but overall better battery life

Fuck Ubisoft.
Steam or GoG
Anything else is too much pain.

Sky news in Australia is far worse than Fox in the US. It’s little more than a shout box for small minded racists.

Audio 📢
Yes it’s dynamic range but the most common cause is listening to a source that’s been mixed for a centre vocal speaker.
It will play on a stereo (Left and right speakers only) but you will have very little vocals and lots of special fx.
This is also completely ignoring the us lack of lufs standards for advertising (apparent loudness.)
Not necessarily the end users fault. If the wrong audio source is selected/streamed then you are stuck. There are workarounds but no real solution

DnD Beyond releases Maps, its own 2D Virtual Tabletop
If you want a decent product, use FoundryVTT. If you want something that needs a lot of work, use roll20

Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod?
It’s not a fishing rod, it’s something much more personal
