Powertoys and fancyzones in particular has been amazing with the proliferation of large monitors. Saves so much time and effort to configure windows. Don’t understand why it is an optional utility and not built into the OS.

What does menu do? Also I think I hate function smack dab in the middle of the space bar.

I’d guess that major UI revisions are a big reason for average users. People don’t like having to relearn how to do something or find a setting. If M$ implemented a legacy UI setting that by and large mimicked the interface and controls in W10 they’d clear a major hurdle preventing less technologically inclined users from upgrading.

Nearly every niche community I’ve joined has essentially died due to not having the critical mass of users to support that community. Hell, even look at the large states like California or Texas: they’re communities with only a few hundred active users and maybe a couple thousand joined. Feels like the lemmy is mostly us politics, star trek, Germans, and memes.

And the rich fatcat isn’t a cat.

From my experience, most of those websites that want a specific browser require edge these days. Some streaming sites will only give FHD on edge, and HD streams on other browsers if at all (looking at you Vudu).

If they’re still working full time, then it isn’t retirement. Retirement is an economic situation, not an age.

It’s not that surprising when you look at the numbers. Average retirement savings accounts for those on their 60s is around 600k, but median is around 200k. Meaning some people are doing really well, but most won’t have much. Average retirement age is low 60s, and average lifespan for a60 year old is about 20 years. A 4% withdrawal for the average retirement account and roughly 2k per month SS check is about 50k per year before taxes. Not great but you can survive on that, but then look at the median and this drops to a bit over 30k. That would be tough, especially if you don’t own your home or have major expenses like Healthcare.

Looks interesting. Might give the demo a go on steam, and wait for it to leave early access if I enjoy it.

It really feels like they developed a revenue stream prior to developing a product. All we’ve heard is some “Ai features” would be a subscription service, but their software has been preety universally mid at best, and AI is starting to see some backlash. We are seeing companies try to cram AI into everything even when it has no purpose being there. I get the feeling that companies are starting to catch onto this AI investments have become ridiculously expensive and have provided nearly zero additional value to their products and services.

The newest revision of the prius has an option for rooftop solar. The break even point is relatively long, in the 5-8 year time frame iirc. The energy generation isn’t massive; at 185w it won’t substantially extend the range something like 5 miles per day.

I have prime for the no rush shipping. Every time I delay my same day or next day shipping to the 3-4 day no rush shipping I get a few dollars of digital credits which I use to buy ebooks. Over the course of a year it essentially pays for the cost of prime with free books I would have bought anyway.

It’s pre release. You can often get streaming copies prior to the street date, but it’s generally quite expensive.
