Secret sauce is source control. You can get a matrix switcher and come up with your own controls but smart remotes like URC and Control4 are way more expensive and IMO are less reliable.

Surround speakers need a priority switch if you want matching amp profiles in the home theatre.

I have in ceiling speakers each pair connecting to a sonos amp. Outdoors, in garage, etc. It’s great - for me. I have Play:1s in bathrooms without mics and it can all sync.

Guests can also control it via phone.

What pisses me off:

- Lack of auto firmware updates at night

- Latency with external sources unless you use a sound bar, maybe fixed with port? The connect sucked

- Spotify premium required

- Cost

That’s exactly why I’ll never use them.

You can’t even really get genuine warranty claims addressed. There’s always a catch: labor not included, part in order, no fridge for 4 days until tech can return.

Politics is theatre, I don’t think anything ever gets done. It just gives people a forum to complain and they can feel like they’re making a difference.

Although this appears to be something local so there’s a chance it’s not entirely useless.

I also used 555-1212 etc but I used to shop at Harris Teeter and they flagged me. They knew who I was even when paying cash. I would get them to use the store card on occasion but they were strict and it was at manager discretion.

To sign up for their crappy card they copied your ID, something I’m not ok with.

Uh, what kind of companies are using AI to screen candidates?

2257 record compliance can be done with a custodian.

Beautiful - I’ve been using Intrepid Vehicle Spy for awhile but the cost is hard to justify for a hobbyist.

You’re correct. I should’ve replied to a different thread.

In my experience gettimeofday() as a vsyscall is a substantial performance benefit to PHP web applications.

I read the list and added that in thinking it’s relevant to growing the FreeBSD user base.

Don’t forget vsyscalls.

I know better, but auto correct on my phone doesn’t. I gave up fighting with it long ago. Latest iOS seems to correct things twice before giving up which really pisses me off!

My fingers are larger than average so it helps more than it hurts, for now.

Bars in places you least expect them can feel like an oasis. I recently discovered many Nordstrom’s have bars, with rather tasty cocktails. I’m happy to oblige the occasional shopping trip now.

I completely agree. It should be a fixed price, incentivizing the driver to take the most efficient route.

I also don’t want my driver to see where I’m going, because not all rides are big fares. Sometimes I must get somewhere close and I don’t want a hassle.

Uber has gotten a lot of bad press lately and I think unfairly so.

What’s worse is Amazon’s gig program. Let’s say your doing jobs like assembling BBQs and Treadmills for customers. They don’t pay trip time to the job, so you can drive 40 miles only to find out half the screws are missing. You must get the customer to request the parts, come back, only to find it’s wrong again.

You take a big hit refusing the job but you have to take all the shitty work to get the chance of a real profitable gig.

Much worse than ride share semantics, IMO.

Anyway - another reason to use Lyft.
