Switched to an LG OLED TV. My brother has had the same one for 3+ years so hopefully it'll last me a while.

I've honestly never had a TV just randomly die on me before, which is why I never buy the extended warranties. But Vizio not selling parts for expensive TVs just doesn't sit well with me, hence the "never again".

My $1500 Vizio TV just died 13 months into a 12 month warranty. They don't sell parts for TVs anymore, Vizio support just told me to trash it and buy a new one. Never again Vizio.

Lenovo took care of my Thinkpad T14s AMD when the keyboard started acting funky. Ordered the parts and sent a tech to my house to install it within a week. So I would still recommend getting a nice Thinkpad.

Pretty nice implementation, but it's missing the best feature: social sharing

Self-host Zulip - which in my opinion is better than Slack anyway and supports slack incoming webhooks.

> What about for vitamins, or pet food

https://www.consumerlab.com/ does a great job testing vitamins and other various things put in or on your body. Well worth the subscription price.

I recently saw and reported one to a local business.

If you typed in the domain and visited directly, it wouldn't redirect to the scam site. But if you clicked on a link from a google search, then it would redirect.

Probably makes it harder to find for small website owners if they're not clicking their own google searches.

It appears that the P14s AMD does support S3.

Comment from @chx on a different thread I found last week:

You can check which ThinkPad BIOS has the option at their BIOS emulation site: https://download.lenovo.com/bsco/index.html

For mine it's under Config // Power // Sleep State. Windows 10 means useless Modern Standby, Linux means S3. https://i.imgur.com/Y5CchL9.png

I really wanted to play my Sega Dreamcast online (I think the game was Phantasy Star Online), but my house had no internet at the time.

I was probably 12 or 13 and had all the time in the world, but no credit card or parental permission.

I figured out how to reverse engineer those spam AOL and NetZero signup CDs you would get in the mail to extract their dial-in credentials for new user signups. I managed to use that to get free internet access for the Dreamcast!

I think I got caught when my mom needed to make a phone call... online gaming was tough in the days of 56k dialup.

If you have traffic, yes. I get hundreds of chats per day using the chat widget, some for support, some for pre-sales inquiries.

This is as close as I could find (Amazon Canada, out of stock): https://www.amazon.ca/Beaver-Olde-English-Mustard-360ml/dp/B...

Must be discontinued, but I wonder where the author of the article found it.

The author recommends a "hot Olde English mustard" from Beaver, but I can't seem to find it. Does it exist?

Generally large spikes in upload data usage is the best indicator. Many consumer grade routers are starting to build in per-device bandwidth usage, which helps narrow down the culprit.

I wonder if this is related to the attack on voip.ms (ongoing for multiple days)

Yeah, all lithium batteries ship via ground, but that's generally because cargo planes are basically like shipping things in the cargo section of passenger airplanes, which generally isn't advisable.

If you read the article, it specifies lithium-ion batteries, which just about everyone brings inside the pressurized cabin.

So no, I am not joking.

Exactly, get a removable battery and bring that in your carry-on and it should be fine.

Yes, it rings my phone. Most are annoyingly early in the morning, and 90% of the time it comes from random numbers in the same area code as my phone number.

I haven't been marking the numbers as spam, but maybe I'll try to do that to see if the number of calls reduces.

I've got screening enabled and still get at least 3 spam calls per day, usually more.

Note that reviewmeta was recently sold to a new operator, so we'll see how trustworthy it continues to be. Some interesting data on financials and revenue models here:

Basically every streaming device has a Plex app: https://www.plex.tv/apps-devices/

Likewise, I have the US version OnePlus 7 Pro and I have never seen these issues. I've been using this phone for 2+ years and like you mentioned, the battery could use a refresh, but it still lasts long enough to not be too annoying.

I tried switching to a Pixel 4a 5G but I was not impressed and switched back to the OnePlus.

That being said, I'm not sure if I'd pay the premium prices of their new flagship models at this point.

Ah, that must be the issue. I'm using Edge on Linux (I know, it's weird).

I'll go ahead and file an issue for it now :-)

You should consider allowing Edge browser as well (since it's based on Chromium anyway, I imagine it should work fine).

This reminds me of my twitch streaming theme, based on Windows 98 and it had an animated Bonzi Buddy. Still love that purple monkey to this day.

I noticed the same thing:

It looks like microsoft caught on and is now returning generic results of "tank" or "man":

I assume they were asking how does a non-mod tell if it's flagged so they can report it to you? (aka when it says [flagged] next to it or something, or drops off the front page rather quickly, etc)

Yeah, the h1 article title inside the page changed, but the actual "title" attribute that you see in your browser tab is $5.1M (hence the confusion, I assume).
