Peloton downplays tariffs and embraces AI in c/thevergenews@sh.itjust.works
[–] rhacer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

We are all in on Peloton. I bought the bike just before Covid. Then bought my wife a Tread a year later. Then she bought me a row a couple of Christmases ago.

Any wallet recommendations? in c/casualuk@feddit.uk

They definitely are proud of their product. It was a huge change for me. I'd been a back pocket bifold or trifold guy my entire life, and I just got to the point I hated it. Had to remove it from my pocket if I was driving or riding my motorcycle or sitting for any extended period of time. It collected crap I had no need to collect, etc.

Bought my Ridge, my wife laughed and said"that elastic will never last". I'm still on my first elastic!

I bought them for two of my three sons who also love theirs.

All that said, I've looked a couple of times at ones like you shared, and think they would work great also.

Ridge. It's minimalist. I've had mine for eight years and I love it.

I started looking at Symfonium some time ago, but something killed my interest. Maybe it's time to revisit it.

The tidal thing didn't bother me, as my music collection is relatively large. But yeah PlexAmp is truly an extraordinary bit of software.

This doesn't really affect my household. My wife, my daughter, and I all have lifetime PlexPasses.

That said, this level of enshitification has me wishing there were options (yes I know about Emby and Jellyfin and I've investigated both more than once) but they have me ensnared by PlexAmp and Sonos integration. I've been around since before anyone had even seen the letters MP3 strung together, and I have never had a music player as capable as PlexAmp.

What kind of rolling privacy violations will this thing get up to.

Chappell Roan says she doesn’t know any happy parents — is she wrong? in c/childfree@lemmy.world

Valid point, but that's not the question that was asked.

Where can one buy that blouse? I think I need to get it for my wife.

What's the best "good-bad" TV series you've seen? in c/Television@lemm.ee
[–] rhacer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know I suck, I know it beyond any shadow of a doubt. I have know. It for over fifty years. Sometimes my brain is mostly silent on that subject, other times it is not.

I have a friend who heard me make the above statement. She took umbrage that I would say such a thing, and sent me this clip...

https://youtu.be/ubTJI_UphPk

I'm not a fan of the show, but to me, that one clip was life-changing.

I have a Van Gogh action figure on my desk as a constant reminder.

Sysadmins, how do you store and manage passwords? in c/sysadmin@lemmy.world
[–] rhacer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks for a great response. I've been a paying customer for ages, and added my family as well. So I don't have the paywall issues you're seeing.

I've been using 1password for over a decade. I'd love to know more about the enshitification you're seeing.

A fascinating bit of baseball history (project318.substack.com)
 

I'm trying to learn to be a fan of baseball. This sort of history helps shape that burgeoning fandom.

Trying to find a song based on a very tiny fragment of memory (lemmy.world)
 

There's a song, I think I only heard one time likely on KGON in Portland, OR and likely in the late 70s. This song has haunted me over the years but I have never been able to locate it again.

The one thing I really remember is that there is a spoken-word portion where the vocalist talks about the Boogie Woogie, but pronounces it more like Boozhi Woozhi.

I'm laying in bed quarantined with Covid and once again its memory and my inability to determine what song it was is haunting me.

Favorites Broken on Series X (lemmy.world)
 

My favorites broke. They were working great but now they don't work at all. I can't favorite anything there icon sits in the middle of the plus sign and I can't move it to any open slot. Things I had already favorites continue to work, but I can't add new things or swap things out.

I've tried dropping my entire inventory and then picking things back up but that is not resolving there issue. It's not game-breaking but it is frustrating.

XCOM 2 on Series X (lemmy.world)
 

How does XCOM 2 play on the Series X? Is it worth getting even though I already own it on PC?

Love the game and would love to be able to play sitting on my couch!

Anyone have any insight into Rapids v. Timbers? Should I stay up later than I was planning (I'm on the East Coast). Or should I go to bed?

BTA 3062 (lemmy.world)
 

Shortly after my previous post about BEX, my merc company folded due to a lack of funds.

I took the opportunity to install BTA and give it a try. I love the depth, I love the details, but I'm really struggling with the lack of a cohesive art style. I'm finding it pulling me out of my suspension of disbelief.

Has anyone else had that difficulty? Will I outgrow it with time?

Is the video game fair game here? or is it table top only? (lemmy.world)
 

If the video game is fair game...

I've been playing BEX, and I suck at it mostly. I always play Ironman, so that entails lots of restarts. I finally have a merc company that has lasted a bit. I've moved up to 2 and 2.5 skull missions.

Needed some money quickly and took a 1.5 skull mission. Comstar showed up, wiped my lance it was the last mission in my current system, I didn't know what I was going to do to not go bankrupt.

Discovered I had Shadowhawk in cold storage sold it, started taking out my "starter" mechs on half-skull and one-skull missions, I'm starting to become a bit more financially solid again and may have survived afterall.
