I have been feeling exactly like you for the past couple of years but I've noticed that sometimes items that are known to be "buy it for life" kind of quality level have disappointed me a bit. My most recent example of that is the Herman Miller Embody chair I got just two months ago. Sure, it's very comfy and it worked really well during the first month. And then came the second month and it started to creak, squeak, pop and all kinds of other weird noises. I've researched the issue online and it turns out Herman Miller consider this perfectly normal because apparently it's a "complex product with a lot of parts". I'm not sure how that makes any sense for a product that costs this much. My IKEA Markus is 5 years old by now - it makes zero noise, it has 80% of the comfort of the Embody and it cost literally 1/10th of the price.

So yes, I also want the best of the best and "buy it for life" but I'm starting to think that sometimes this classification is a bit overrated and you need to find a very good balance between price and quality.

Netgear R7800 or ASUS AC86U. Both are good. Netgear supports OpenWRT.

If you're using uBlock you should add Anti-Adblock Killer from the 3rd party filters section in the uBlock dashboard. I'm currently scrolling through the article without any problems.

Downloaded it and tried it out. I have to say it works really well. The stabilization is quite good and you can export the end result as either GIF or a video with sound (because Live Photos themselves have sound). Good job, Google.

> As I left town, I cast one final glance back at Greebo. One of his friends playfully tossed him to the ground and thumbed his eyes as the others snatched all the money I had given him. I couldn’t help but smile. It felt good to make a difference in the lives of these simple people.

This is hilarious!
