I'm slowly trying to untie myself from google. Most recently disabled Google maps because of their renaming stuff that shouldn't be.

Tomtom is working for me for now, I hopped around to a few different nav apps but landed there. Tried a few osm based ones but they were all pretty rough around the edges, middle and centers.

Hrm... Hadn't seen it will check it out

Twas, but a joke...

It's insane for a product whose price has gone through the roof before the ram shortage

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to unplug them at the end of each day!

Ya, a PR nightmare for the next 15 minutes until the next unbelievable thing comes along and the ADD nature of people forgets windows is watching everything they do.

Most embarrassed I've been to call myself an american. And I'm a veteran.

Absolutely disgusting.

So, a full on police state, so much for land of the free, and home of the brave...

I'm ok with a decent amount of tech in a car. Like I'm fine being able to connect my phone to the car and have android auto take over the infotainment system.

But the HVAC stuff needs to be buttons I can access/control without looking or very minimal looking.

I don't want/need my car to have a SIM card, or connect to wifi, and report what I'm doing. If they want to do that, then they can give me the car for free and I'll drive it around letting them collect my driving habits.

Edit: Oh, and I'm sure as hell not paying some subscription fee on top of the price of the car.

Please make her go away

Lifetime subscriber when it was like $75 bux

Has worked as is for YEARS.

So, the question is, am I looking for something to replace a working free (prepaid) solution I have? That answer is nope.

I'll continue to not watch shorts, tik toks, reels or any other ADHD inducing short form content.

"The same decline appears outside the United States. Horvath told senators that across roughly 80 countries, academic performance drops after digital technology becomes widely embedded in classrooms. The timing alone raises serious questions about how learning environments affect cognitive development."

Doesn't say which 80 but 80 should be a broad swath

Don't believe anything, go vote like your candidate(s) are behind

Which is why very shortly after I found homassistant, I moved all my sensors/devices over and decommissioned my smartthings bridge and never looked back.

The solution seems easy enough, don't buy or rent anything from Sony until the issue is resolved.

This is fixable if consumers band together. Nobody needs to game on a PlayStation (or play GTA on PC/PlayStation), we need water, food, shelter not GTA6

Glad I bought the Plex Pass like 13 years ago. While I understand everyone seems to think everything should be free, I'm sure your boss wishes you worked for free too, but the world doesn't work that way.

I'm OK supporting products I use , and Plex is an example of this for me. It was a well spend $75 in 2013

It has seemed to work on less and less sites for me recently, to the point that I do not visited it as often as I used to.

But that tweet does sound like pretty bad news...

Don't always align with him policy wise, but man do I like him as a human being. Always focusing on solutions to issues, not attacking others.

Is this where they release the life ending microbe into the atmosphere wiping out the planet.
