DCOMs (disney channel movies). i love 'em. especially the musicals.

hudson hawk gets rewatched here all the time. it is a good movie.

budgie 11’s move to qt will sorta ‘fill a gap’ between lxqt and kde.

on ssd upgrades:

upgrade usually costs less than 30 dollars for a 256GB SATA drive.

how much for the time machine to go back to last summer?

don’t do it tommy!

part of that ball will rub off on your tum-tum, and in 30-40 years you won’t even need the ball to pretend to look like that.

i use what’s most convenient to grab… for instance i use a spoon, or even a fork, for making a pb&j far more often than a knife. there’s a better chance of those being out on the drying rack than a knife. if that means i’m eating ice cream with a fork, i’m eating ice cream with a fork - as long as it’s frozen enough.

turn off the ‘notify when apps request location’ setting at the bottom of settings->privacy->location

til, hotbot still exists existed.

Is it because Microsoft stopped advertising that they exist?

yea. pretty much. they certainly don’t make it known that it does exist.

1 time fee over monthly anyday.

as far as pricing. if you’re gonna pay for cloud storage somewhere, anyway…

i know it kinda sucks ass, but you’re basically paying for that extra onedrive space and getting office ‘free’ while you do.

so it does make sense for some users.

but for the love of clippy, don’t share a cheaper 1 user/5pc ‘personal’ plan with other people because they also share your onedrive space. that can get messy and/or really awkward, really fast. get the one you can share with other users and add their msa to your 365 sub.

publisher just flat-out got the axe. it’s even getting taken away from ‘365’ subscribers in a few months. i have a few users that will be affected. they are not happy campers.

if you have it as part of your particular edition and version of (perpetual) office, yea. it should continue to function.

it isn’t being “killed”, it’s just EOL, on schedule. the death-blow comes if windows version has a similar digital certificate expiry baked-in like office mac does. which would be a first on windows, because old (even really old) office versions do still work–just don’t get security fixes once EOL.

no-ai duckduckgo is one url away:

as long as you break the windows (which is probably already done for you), and don’t open… it’s ok.

true. but this one wasn’t a class action, either… just one plaintiff.

blowing the budget is their own damn fault. they put up a leaderboard, ffs.

even ranked their internal usage competitively on internal leader boards,

do you really wanna be admitting that addiction is your goal?

That’s Epic. The RC Cola of gaming

brutal.

(pretty accurate, but brutal)

if you’ve cleared your browser histories (cookies, mainly) and it persists and bothers you, you can try to force a new ip from their dhcp. process would vary depending on what gear you have. at home, i use my own and only need to give the router a different wan mac and reboot the modem. with their gear, might need to just unplug the stuff overnight or something as i dont think you can get at the settings–hell, you need their stupid app to change the wifi password.

but like i said, i’d just let them deal with it. it probably only affects their own determination of your location. if it does spread elsewhere because they’re ‘sharing’ that data with others–just roll with it. i actually love it when we hop on a weather site or something and they’re way off, like michigan or missouri.
