This guy has to be one of the dimmest folks I have ever seen. Putin straight tried to kill him, failed and the world did nothing and yet he still turned himself in as some type of martyr. The world was going to do nothing and they were going to torture him and trump up any charges they felt to ensure he never sees the light of day again and for what? Nothing.

He could have done more even in exile.

He had a dry run with the attempt on his life. He knew nothing would come of it. That the rest of the world would do nothing.

Hell Russia has since pushed the boundaries much further with no recourse.

I can respect that he’s principled and still recognize the total lack of forethought in the move.

I tried to use their UX. Its bad. And the worst is I fell asleep watching something like Project Bluebook once. And the Prime Reccomendations streamed a SHITLOAD of alien conspiracy content while i slept. It ruined the recs etc. And you cant delete the primary account profile…only the sub-profiles.

Frankly i only go on it to see what I should maybe load into Sonarr/Radarr at this point. fuck em.

Yeah it is in a way. Thankfully it doesn’t leech into my main Amazon shopping reccomendations.

Not free as in foss. But free as in beer.

You can use xpenology or just a synology disk station with active backup for business. It does quite well with windows and just runs in the background.

Before using that I use urbackup ,which is FOSS. It also worked quite well.

Worse. It went off into other conspiracy subjects like 9/11 and all sorts of crap. Theres frankly a lot of weird stuff on amazon prime for free that i would have never seen had i not dozed off.

Most of the other apps (netflix, plex, etc) and even the streaming platform (roku) have measures to combat falling asleep. Whether its disabling auto-play (which amazon didnt have) or bandwidth saver features that will periodically ask if you are still there (which amazon appears to somehow bypass or disable, or did).

These days though i set a sleep timer to shut off the lights and TV at midnight.

For one…thats a melt. And it doesnt look great. But I think there in lies the rub. even the best chefs get there by experimenting and trying new things and even then, when they get outside their wheelhouse, they arent any better than that dude at your local diner.

logitech’s software is trash across the board.

Have their MX keyboard and their logi+ software regualrly craps out making the function/special keys unusable until i log off/back on. Sometimes WHILE im using the keyboard.

And their gaming stuff is no better. Many times just having the logitech g suite software running means my mic will randomly stop working, if i remove the software the headset runs fine.

Their hardware is solid, but there is a 0% chance i would pay for their software.

Its a copypasta from /r/grilledcheese from some years back.

Some of it to me, is just hardware selection. My laptop and egpu run windows fine. Linux gaming is rough as hell.

That said, i bought a steam deck, and it will run the same games my laptop struggles with in linux, just fine.
