Do you still have that A3000T? There are people that can repair that…

If I had to guess, they are testing the ability to switch these off in anticipation of more Trumpian laws being passed

My name’s Darren. Here I am in the 'net.

Yeah ok now I do… back to Fastmail then 🤦🏻‍♂️

The trick with Adobe is to use PayPal… you can then cancel the recurring payment yourself.

Didn’t see anything particularly Trump supportery on those three links…?

I use them as well except in their app, works brilliantly

My wife and I don’t drink alcohol… non-starter for us I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

You have to believe in a “supreme being”

Ted.

Juvenile fratboy humour done badly, very badly with lots of fan services to get the brainless cheering.

Made me laugh once in the first few minutes (I can’t even remember the joke) and walked out of the cinema after about an hour.

Astonishingly, that was also Rickman’s movie debut

I love the idea but how would it be paid for? Quick back of the envelope sums says if you pay every adult the government living wage in the UK, it would cost around 950bn… uk government expenditure for everything is just under 700bn a year at the moment…

I believe you can run the monitor at 60% brightness and reduced volume on it’s speakers when powering it from the 500… the separate power supply just allows you to put both of those things to max.

The only thing stopping me moving to Brave is the awful bookmark sync implementation… when I used it for a small period in the past it was keeping some I’d long deleted on other devices etc

I also would prefer it to implement bookmark separators (like both Vivaldi and FF do) but I can live without those if they sorted out the sync.

It cannot - more and more content is coming from AI so they are just “relearning” what one of the AI platforms has already produced… the endgame of that is convergence on nothing new being produced from AI

I bought my iMac in March 2020… since then it’s been powered down maybe half a dozen times (a couple of those were power cuts) and rebooted (outside of macOS updates) maybe ten times.

It just sits there reliably doing its thing and sucks little juice in power saving so 🤷🏻‍♂️

You sort of didn’t read my whole post and just looked at the last bit - I pay for excellent search results with Kagi, the fact it’s also private (because I pay) is a bonus. However for local searches, I find Kagi is a bit US centric, so a simple !g bang operator gives me a private search through Google which still excels at these types of things… for anyway, who knows what Kagi has up their sleeves 🤷🏻‍♂️

A VPN with Google would still give me rubbish Google search results and marginal privacy against Google’s algorithms (their fingerprinting likely knows it’s me anyway), and I’d need to keep switching it on and off to make full use of my 1gb/s cable internet speed.

When it came down to it I realised I use search many many many mores times a day than I do Netflix so it became a no brainer for me to use Kagi… it’s funny my wife (who laughs at me for paying for search) was looking for a particular recipe yesterday and she was bouncing around Google unable to find exactly what she wanted… I put it into Kagi and it was literally the first item returned. She still laughs at me 🤷🏻‍♂️

What I will say is Kagi is pretty useless for local searching though, eg looking for a local business, Google is still much better at that but you can Google through Kagi to help protect privacy.

Clunge

Another vote for Kagi here as well… except for searching for local businesses near where I live, I revert to Google for that, but I Google through Kagi so privacy is somewhat protected
