  • What have you completely stopped buying because the price has gotten ridiculus?

  • Concerts.

    In the 90s youd go to the record store that had a ticket kiosk. Tickets were 10 to 20 dollars, youd get a printed ticket.

    Now it just sucks. Venues add fees, ticketmaster fees double the price, printing fees, sometimes you cant even get the digital ticket until the day of and hope nithing goes wrong.

    It all just sucks now.

    I go down to my local dive bar and watch some local guys play rock and blues....for tips.

  • YouTube now requires creators to have twice as many watch hours to start earning money

  • Remember everybody. Get a vpn with a node in albania. Youtube cannot force a signin or display ads to people in albania.

    Its really that simple.

  • PBS broadcaster loses access to 50TB of data comprising 70 years of TV history after contracted cloud storage vendor goes defunct

  • I do volunteer work for nonprofits. Its amazing that normal people think we are swimming in cash.... newsflash, we are not.

    The IT budget is nothing so alot of what i do is setup open source stuff to meet needs...think libreoffice erc.

    External storage for large backups is not on the table. And no one wants the reaponsibilty of shuffling external backup drives to and from.

    NYC Mayor Mamdani wants to tax people who own multiple homes. President Trump is not happy about it.

    Jump

  • Ill argue that the whole purpose of this tax structure is get houses into the available pool of property for regular folks to buy. Think of the needs of the many vs a 2 week vacation for you which you could still take in a hotel or a company that does vacation rentals somehow.

  • This was always my opinion. Any home thats not your primary residense is taxed at 300% going rate. Makes owning multiple homes for renting too expensive.

  • US Cities Cancel 50+ Flock Surveillance Contracts Amid Public Backlash

    Jump

  • We need 1 good lawyer to take up the 'Flock is stalking me' case. Prove mass surveillance = stalking.

  • Microsoft warns hackers are targeting hotel Wi-Fi networks: What to know

    Jump

  • Wrong. Never download and install any wifi profile package, escpecially if it has certs to install. That is just asking to have all your traffic decrypted and data taken.

  • What's a fun piece of free software I should learn to use this week?

  • Have you gotten ardour to accept input from guitarx's USB interface? I hate falling g back to windows stuff for audio recording.

  • A major Windows 11 UI redesign is coming, Microsoft is dumping legacy code for WinUI

    Jump

  • Win 2000 was the shit. Last one I liked.

  • Largest U.S. Grid May Cut Power to Data Centers to Prevent Blackouts

    Jump

  • In the US, when I was looking for a house, I favored any that were on the same grid as the local hospital. It ensured that after a hurricane or whatever, I would get power restored quickly.

    Just 1more perk

  • LG TVs and monitors said to surveil users and install bloatware without asking

    Jump

  • Smart TVs do not magically connect to your WiFi without credentials.

    Now if there is an open WiFi available, that might be a way or if the TV has a deal with a carrier to use all that open automatic WiFi.

  • Quote of the day by Gabe Newell: "Piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue" — Sony just proved why digital storefronts are broken

    Jump

  • I remember when street fighter 2 was released for the SNES. Our store had it at 64.99 and that's in 1990-something dollars.

    Games have always been expensive, especially when hyped and already popular

    But I still have an SNES and SF2 and can play it whenever I want. No chance a licensing server rejects me or a lic is flagged invalid in the future.

    That's the difference. I know as long as the hardware works, I can always use that game.

  • Sony Abandons Social Media for 24 Hours+ After Controversially Killing Physical Games

  • Of course I would pay an extra few dollars tohave media and guarantee a game will install and run even if the internet goes away.

    This isn't about convienence for the users, its about killing the secondary market

  • But every version of windows requires training because they keep changing crap for no reason.

    As in why the split between settings and control panel. Why the nonstop start menu changes? And so forth
