100% it’s just a made up PR story/headline to garner some type of sympathy from dumb old white ladies.

“Oh my, look how sympathetic diaper don is, he cares about his family. It was just a mistake, if she can give him a second chance maybe I can too…”

What service do you recommend for writing formulas? I’m perfectly capable of writing my own, but I’m just so lazy now.

Thank you 🙏🏻 this is a great ELI5 for my smooth brain!

Man, this is what I fear trying to get into homelab’ing. I’m just so naive to networking I’m afraid I’ll break everything. The most I’ve ever accomplished was Plex on my PC, Plex app elsewhere and PC has to have Plex running to work. That and I built a NAS (when really I just wish it was a DAS I could tether to multiple PC’s at once), and I barely made it though tutorials to get that working.

I feel like I need to buy a textbook because I’m so clueless on the basics I can’t even get started, since almost any tutorial online assumes you know the bare bones basics. Like I literally don’t know what DHCP is, how it works, or even what it stands for.

At the very least your post has inspired me to try to start trying again. Maybe there’s a textbook I can pick up to start learning this super basic groundwork, or maybe a course online.

Exactly. Not that you would need it, but it even gives an example image showing the inside of a room lol

I use the same streaming apps on my phone as well, so they already know what I’m watching.

After hearing about one of the TV manufacturers that would take screen caps and read media file names when playing files from external storage I’ll never connect a smart TV to the internet again.

Considering that I have an iPhone, yes.

For anyone who doesn’t necessarily care about data collection and accepts that it’ll happen to some degree and you can’t escape it, and wants an easy experience without ad’s just remember to never connect your TV to the internet and get an Apple TV 4K for $150. The software isn’t jank like some android options, it isn’t sluggish, and you only need the one remote unless you’re changing inputs. I literally never see or interact with the menu of my smart TV and it’s great.

The Linus that was promised.

Acroooooooss the room

When I re-watched it as an adult for the first time my mind was blown that Bruce Willis was in it.

This also reminds me I need to watch the new one.

Get rekt granny

I’ve become increasingly weary about any heated foods in contact with plastic.

Near boiling hot soup from Chinese take-out poured into shitty plastic containers. Hard pass.

Also going to someone’s house and seeing they use those crock-pot plastic liner bags: 🤢

I also feel really bad about all the plastic dishes we have for our kids (we don’t microwave them). We’re actually going spend the coin on some stainless steel right now, thanks Lemmy!
