I’ve got one but I bought it from Nest, not Google. TBH I’m surprised it was supported this long, not in a thankful way but because Google is so anti consumer. I didn’t realize the app didn’t work until I saw this post. I’m glad to find out now, not during a heatwave where I’m trying to cool the house when I’m driving home.

Right now YouTube TV is how NFL Sunday Ticket is delivered. I know a few people who have it for that reason. Otherwise it’s mostly old people who dumped cable.

Isn’t 2k and 1080P basically the same thing?

Haha brutal! Not surprising!

Question from the ICE job application: if you touch grass, can you get back up on your feet without help?

Perry County, Tennessee is only 8,300 people. There are only a few towns in LA metro smaller than that. Both LA and Orange Counties have had corrupt sheriff’s that were sentenced to jail. Imagine what it would be like in a county where everyone personally knows your family and there are very few checks and balances on power?

So they believe a person’s gender is up for negotiation with their doctor, who is a member of the elite and therefore is likely corruptible. This makes sense. I’ve heard of doctors doing favors for their rich clients and writing notes declaring the client’s son to be suffering from painful bone spurs, preventing military service. I guess every accusation truly is an admission of guilt.

Geez, I think you’re right. I guess homie better get used to using the women’s restroom from now on or else he could find himself getting beat up or prosecuted.

It would fuck over people who are straw employees where someone else is doing the work but that’s kind of the opposite scenario. There was a story recently about a lot of San Francisco tech startups all hiring the same programmer thinking he was exclusive to them (stock options involved?). Apparently the work was getting done, but didn’t meet their expectations of the type of employee they were hiring.

From the article it sounds like the birth certificate was corrected but the school isn’t accepting the change without a chromosome test, which costs $1,500. There’s another test that they could do that’s free, slightly embarrassing, and takes just a moment, but would require an adult to look when the kid drops his pants. It’s such a stupid non-issue. I can’t believe this happened, that we know about it, and that it hasn’t been resolved yet.

That answer didn’t really clear anything up for me.

What are you basing your assertion on? The article links to the state law and says the law doesn’t prevent girls from playing on boys teams, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a clerical mistake or not.

I don’t mind cloud services as an automation overlay, but at that point you basically have an Alexa powered Harmony remote, which is unlikely to provide the level of telemetry that Bezos demands. This bed situation is great though. It’s a concrete demonstration for enthusiastic techies about why you shouldn’t connect objects to the web just because you can.

I doubt it. Every dollar he pays is one he can’t keep.

I tried I installing that already but I think it just won’t work with the snap version of Firefox.

Did you notice if GPU video decoding works in the browser? Eg VP9, h.264? I’d been struggling to get it to work with Wayland and suspect it isn’t possible.

Which driver does it install? Does it choose or do you? I’m curious how the installation process compares to Ubuntu. My install is a little borked because I started with Xorg and AMD and 22.04 and switched to Wayland and Nvidia and 24.04 all around the same time. It works but was a PITA to reconfigure everything.

He’s probably mixing up sperm with testosterone level. Somehow the conversation of testosterone levels came up with a group of kids we work with. One of the young adults who is heavily into weight lifting knew his testosterone levels. The 65 year old man in our group had far higher levels. The reason? He nearly died from cancer and is now on hormone therapy. Apparently the levels are set quite high.

Behind closed doors, they probably are beginning to understand that it would be a public health disaster if they actually removed access to vaccines so Tylenol is a more innocuous scapegoat. I always avoided it because problems with alcohol interaction. In reality the culprit is more likely to be heavy pesticide use enabled by gmo roundup resistant crops.

I salute your high context joke. My wife didn’t get it but I thought it was hilarious. Looking forward to the next time there is an incident involving fudge or lemonade.
