it’s 64gb so you can run local ai models to ‘re-clutter’ your windows experience.

those were the days, back when netflix gave a month free to new accounts. even when you used a prepaid card, they tacked on the extra month.

some of the streaming sites have changed how the subs are delivered and their own existing formatting features don’t work at all anymore because they were designed for a different file type or something. roku via browser is the latest one i’ve noticed that on. i can’t have my 200% size anymore.

like an iceberg, what you can see (the $4m) is just a tiny part.

sony’s even considered a game publisher… ya know, just like random house is a book publisher.

when i rode transit every day to work, that’s exactly what i used to do. i’d just stop on the way home, then pick up the next bus going my way.

yup. here, too.

first thing in my head reading the post title was ‘…still am, but i used to be, too’

american sizes do the same thing, just only five steps in ANSI sizes, and not really that well known outside of the industries that use the paper sizes, such as printing shops.

smallest being u.s. letter (A4 equivalent) is “ANSI A”, 8.5x11in…

largest being the full sheet (A0 equivalent) is “ANSI E”, 34x44in…

with the expected three steps between for B, C, and D.

going smaller than u.s. letter and ANSI A… letter halved (4.25x5.5in) ‘half letter’ is a common notepad and post card size; and halved again (2.12x2.75in) is a common label size.

at the top of a two page quiz (single side, two pages stapled). read through the entire quiz before beginning.

question 1 immediately follows, an easy one even the dummies can answer.

question 10 on second page. print your name in the top right corner of the first page and then answer this question and this question only (and it’s something that’s an opinion, not even a ‘right or wrong’). turn the quiz over when completed, and sit quietly until the bell rings or instructed otherwise.

i used to do the one-month binge on one service. then awhile later, do a different one.

prices kept going up. i don’t even do that any more.

it’s been over two years now without anything but what i already have in my library, or the occasional free streamer through pihole or a ubo-backed browser.

i just don’t care about new ‘tv’ or movies anymore.

if i’m where the shoes are, it’s sock-shoe, sock-shoe.

if i’m not… it’s sock-sock, then slippers or crocs until i get to the door where the shoes would then be.

iirc, the name ‘ontario’ predates the existence of the usa… by 100 years.

dear mr. poopy pants:
fuck off.
sorry. we’re canadian. let me rephrase that, eh?
kindly fuck off.
we’ll talk to the next guy or gal in charge.
from the great white north,
canada

ya, but they’ll want the good hockey players.

watch this becomes the issue that gets the slimmest and dimmest majority in senate history to shred the filibuster for.

and what little might get released is carefully crafted to support their own (and most likely, totally bullshit) narrative. the rest of the clip, the rest of the videos from all the other cameras… they don’t exist.

they hold all the cards. so, while you could try, they’d most likely tell you to pound sand. they have many, many others to exploit and profit off of—they don’t specifically ‘need’ you.

there’s no extra markup involved here for what is essentially a marketing thing.

they’re $35. which is also the price the ‘normal’ (not ‘collab’ edition) ones sell for direct on ka’s web site or at retailers like rei.

it is present on their main search but can be ignored or put out-of-sight easily enough.

you have to use noai.duckduckgo.com to have it just ‘off’ period.
