Agreed, but I just had a second kid (she was about 2 months old). I also live in an apartment building with street parking. Between those things and work and life in general, holding on to a car and figuring out a private sale just wasnt in the books. It's not what I wanted to do, but it's what I had to do. It still worked out.

In like 2018 I bought a 2014 Honda Accord Sport for $6500. 6 speed manual, fun car to drive. It had like 50k miles on it which is essentially nothing for a Honda. Carfax was clean etc. Then I had 2 kids and it was time for the Minivan. I traded in the Accord at the dealership (which I never do, but didn't have time to do a private sale). They gave me something like $9500 for it. This was in the beginning of 2025. I drove the Accord for 7 years and made $3000 somehow. And I'm sure the dealership sold it for like $12000.

Shits crazy.

Well the jerk store called, and they're running out of you!

The single player campaigns for the GTA games have been my favorite part anyway.

Sorry, what I meant is "6 hours is a long time for something to not be 'leaked' on the internet"

As in - you will not need to wait 6 hours, because 6 hours is a long time on the internet.

You can expect to find uploads of the video minutes after it finishes.

Okay hear me out.

This comes out on Netflix and then is on YouTube 6 hours later. 6 hours is a long fucking time on the internet. This video is going to be leaked instantly. It will be posted and shared everywhere minutes after it ends. Not just leaked but I'm sure you can go to any number of discord servers and watch somebody stream it. Rockstar doesn't care. Netflix doesn't care. The goal is not a pay walled advertisement.

It's a stress test of Netflix live streaming. They need something so big yet so inconsequential to test this with. If it goes well, they can say "Hey, we tested it out, and we are capabe of streaming the Superbowl". If it doesn't work. Eh, just release it to YouTube, whatever.

Thats my guess at least.

This literally happened to me today while driving

Me: Text wife Gemini: Texting wife, what would you like in the message? Me: Can you pop my lunch in the microwave? I am going to be home in 5 minutes. Gemini: While I can't put food in the microwave for you, I can set a reminder.

What the fuck?

Today was the first day I noticed Gemini instead of assistant, and from the other complaints here, I am not looking forward this. Assistant worked just fine.

Building it into the monitor wouldn't even be hard. Especially if it's a lightning bolt connection, which can also act as a USB connection. So it coult filch a network connection, run ads overlayed on the monitor. Monitor is touchscreen and you have to physically press the tiny "dismiss" button next to the huge "install" button. Mistakenly pressing install sends a keyboard command to the PC that opens a terminal and runs a winget install command.

The fact that I could think of this means that it's probably already in the works.

It would be awesome if a website cropped up like "ifixit" but was "ibreakit" or something. And it had instructions to surgically physically disable stuff like this on all sorts of models. Like "make a marker on a dremel bit that is 1/2 an inch deep, measure 3 inches from this corner and 4 inches from that corner, make a dot. Drill your dremel into that dot to the 1/2inch marker on your dremel bit to break the traces to the wifi antenna"

Or something like that. It would clearly have to have very bright "if you break your shit we are not responsible" warnings.

It's even less interesting when all of the content is just reposts made by bots and all of the comments are made by bots. All of the original content has already been copied.

It was a bummer to watch it it all happen over time. I remember using reddit in like 2010 and it was great. It stayed great until maybe 2015. Then it slowly started to become too popular. It started to get targeted with fake viral ad campaigns. Those worked, and then from there it was fast downhill.

Oh well... I remember when AOL was cool too. So I guess that's just she way she goes.

You can search for it by the appx name and then use a pipe to remove the package. Then you don't need to worry about specific version numbers:

Get-AppxPackage -Name 'LGElectronics.LGMonitorApp' | Remove-AppxPackage

Dogs are the best. Who fucking knows what they are thinking. A friend of mine has a dog who isn't really food driven, but do you know what he fucking loves? Raw baby spinach leaves. Ohhh boy, if you open a bag of spinach in front of that dog, you best be giving some to him. Funny little creatures they are. All of them with their own quirks. But all of them the best.
