Some have already mentioned similar clients, but also check out Convos[1]. Recently I had a very similar need for what you described and stumbled upon it.

Indeed, sleazy marketing tricks to get you to buy. You can always find a $10 coupon if you search and get to a site like dealsea. I have enjoyed some courses on there and follow a few authors, but this kind of crap needs to be dealt with by them.

'brew update' will fetch the newest version of Homebrew and all formulae. Upgrade will upgrade the packages. I wrote about this and refer to it when upgrading just in case. [1] It might be helpful.

You can delay it a little by going to Settings > General > Storage & Cloud usage > Manage storage and delete the downloaded update. It buys me about a week until it downloads again and starts spamming me to upgrade.

I completely agree with you on the commercial part, it has gotten ridiculous. If it was not for the NFL Red Zone channel, I think I would have given up also.

Here are a number of great aliases that people might find helpful:

Had not recently checked up on what Jolla is doing, but it looks like they dropped future plans for devices and concentrating solely on the OS.

Reminds me of when I tried to buy a Jolla phone after my N9 and that thing was nearly impossible to get in the US.

Same thing happens to me at least once per week. They spoof the Caller ID to be the area code and first 3 digits of my number.

I think it is able to store up to 2GB of music. And I just saw this for Spotify -- https://snowy.rocks

Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X [1] with a Unifi AP Pro [2]

Extremely happy with the performance and quality. I don't know of any router for $180 that can rival this combination overall.

I think it's a great move. Maybe on a similar note, one of the reasons I really like and find more use out of Foursquare is the way their rating system works compared to the five-star Yelp rating system. For example, in Yelp I found that all "good" restaurants are in the above 4-star rating, and that's all the information I can get out of that rating. With Foursquare, they have turned the upvote/downvote/neutral rating into a number between 1-10 that tells me more. Above average is 7+, something unique about the place 8+, truly exceptional 9+.

It just seems to me it's a simpler way to rate something by a user, and at the same time classify it more adequately.

Just a small fyi about the Vultr match credits: unused credits expire after 12 months. Vultr are great by the way, love them.

Maybe try out InoReader - https://www.inoreader.com

Love seeing competition at work. Two times in a week, after the T-Mobile/Verizon rate plan wars :)

"Although swap is generally recommended for systems utilizing traditional spinning hard drives, using swap with SSDs can cause issues with hardware degradation over time. Due to this consideration, we do not recommend enabling swap on DigitalOcean or any other provider that utilizes SSD storage. Doing so can impact the reliability of the underlying hardware for you and your neighbors. This guide is provided as reference for users who may have spinning disk systems elsewhere.

If you need to improve the performance of your server on DigitalOcean, we recommend upgrading your Droplet. This will lead to better results in general and will decrease the likelihood of contributing to hardware issues that can affect your service."

I was surprised that there are very few reviews and experiences out there regarding DreamCompute. This post was the only meaningful thing I could find: http://www.hostingadvice.com/blog/testing-dreamcompute/

While on this topic, does anyone have any experience with DreamCompute (https://www.dreamhost.com/cloud/computing)? I was thinking about trying them out, but could not find any reviews/thoughts about them. They seem to offer a lot, for very low prices. Here's more -- https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/217744568-What-...

On that note, myepisodes.com is absolutely great for tracking and keeping up with your TV show episodes.

Couldn't push, so came here to find out it wasn't only me. 'Server aborted the SSL handshake'

Edit: seems back to normal now

Send/Receive does not work here.

Finally, at least they listened. The decision to take out searching within a playlist baffled me (or I guess it was more of a oops we forgot it).

Keep in mind that the majority of the torrents are actually scene leaks (never intended for public distribution). The scene is now a well known thing, but years ago it was a very exclusive club.

On the topic of eye strain. For anyone not familiar with f.lux, highly recommend you check it out. Everyone that I have recommended it to so far loves it. https://justgetflux.com

Very big move by Nokia. They have been looking to expand their network business, after they sold their devices division to Microsoft. I remember rumors about a year ago of them acquiring Juniper Networks, but I guess the price wasn't right?

They are not going against TM in the ticket market though. Putting the entire ticket market in one place is really nice from a ticket buyers perspective. How much TM and the whole ticket market sucks though, is another story.

This explains why I was unable to reach Github for a few minutes yesterday. But, I appreciate how they are handling everything.

Few more that ticked me off other than what is already mentioned:

Removed ability to minimize to tray

Removed adjustable width of columns

Removed tons of settings like how much space to allow the client to cache

I am still amazed how they pushed out this "update" to millions of customers. It removes so many key features.

I had to downgrade to 0.9.15.27. If anyone wants to do the same here are Windows instructions:

- Uninstall current Spotify

- Grab the old version and install it: http://www.filehorse.com/download-spotify/old-versions

- Stop Sptofiy from auto updating create 2 read-only files (blank txt for example) named 'Spotify_new' and 'Spotify_new.exe.sig' in C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Spotify

http://whatsthefare.com is pretty helpful. Have it bookmarked on my phone and check it before using either Uber or Lyft. They used to be able to get the surge from Uber, but it's an estimate now. Probably got blocked from Uber is my guess.

Wonder if this trial is partially why the Adam Carolla trial settlement had a quiet period until Sep. 30?
