The lesson I think is only buy devices with local apis and avoid google services entirely. I have tons of smart devices in my house now but I require local control and they all sit on an isolated VLAN with no internet. The nest is the last remaining device that I haven’t switched over yet. Its 8 years old, I didn’t think about any of those things 8 years ago. Live and learn I guess.

Nest was towards the bottom of my degoogle list. I guess they are doing it for me. We hardly used the app anyways. I’ll just disconnect it from the network.

Try opening the Nvidia control panel, turn off Force Composition Pipeline. I had this same issue.

I also like the fact that I can have a beer or two on a Saturday night and not have to worry about driving.

Use to have one of these. Only buy one if you dont mind buying a $150 coffee mug every year. The pins on the charging pad wear out and it stops charging entirely. Replacement chargers are as much as mug.

I used to watch quite a bit of UFC until Trump started showing up. But also their cards suck now anyways.

I feel like he is hurt every year

Sure yes of course thats another way to do it. As always, if you do it yourself it will be cheaper.

Were they not invested in target retirement funds? If you do it right your portfolio shouldnt do that.

Still though, its nice to have more options in case Google ever decides to lockout custom ROM users.

And that doesnt even factor in the fact that most made in America goods are made with materials imported from other countries. They are not going to eat that cost, they are going to pass it on to the next person until there is nobody left to pass it on to. The consumer.

This is great need several times per week I get update server errors

I just wish the Dev would come up with a way to allow me to buy it without the play store.

Been browsing the conservative subreddit this morning just to see what they all are thinking. There is a surprising number of “This is a terrible idea” comments but its also funny seeing a whole bunch of republicans who now suddenly like higher taxes, inflation and stock crashes.

When you host your own Lemmy instance that means every server you federate with is going to copy its data including images to your server. That means that if you federate with someone who is poorly moderated, you can end up hosting CSAM yourself. You need to be prepared to deal with that problem.

I did it for awhile but didn’t want to deal with the CSAM. Shut it down after a few weeks.

I think the idea would be, winning your Division still locks you into a playoff spot. Home games and seeding just have no bearing on your division.

I’m on Graphene and Aurora store can see all installed apps without me giving it any additonal permissions. I know because apps I installed outside of Aurora appear on the app list in Aurora.

Agreed it all really just depends on what functionality is important to you. If it was just me and my wife using it I’d absolutely be using Jellyfin. But between grandparents and small children using mine, I got so many complaints I had to turn Plex back on after a week.

Interesting, I haven’t noticed anything, in fact since I switched everything has felt faster. And I’m constantly sending large files to devices on other VLANs.
