Does it play when the phone is in the pocket? That was the big issue I has with the youtube music app.
I will admit I like listening to obscure stuff which YouTube does really well. The only problem is that they will play the music video instead of the song on free youtube music.
That's why I'm asking. I'm trying to decide if I should renew YouTube or get a Spotify subscription. Spotify is cheaper with the three months free introductory offer.
I had gotten Youtube premium and enjoyed it. My subscription ran out and I find I have 90% use of it for free. I got it to listen to the app on my phone when I was out. However the app sucks ass. I would listen to one song and then the app would just crash. SO I never got to use it for the intended use.
So which would you choose? Youtube or Spotify? and how is the Spotify app on the phone?
Carnist Bloodmouth sounds like an Ork name.

I have bit of a nuanced take on the subject (ie: I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion.)
So here goes. To me Homelessness isn't the problem. Rampant drug addiction and mental illness are. For the mental illness part, we need comprehensive and affordable mental health care for everyone. That's not going to happen in my lifetime though.
The drug addiction however...
Places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver (where I'm from) have followed the decriminalization theory of drug rehabilitation. This posits that by providing clean drug paraphernalia and safe places to use drugs, will help people to overcome addiction. But the current state of these cities prove that this theory is false. In order to make someone change, they have to want to change. When you make drug use easier, there is less incentive for that person to want to get clean. Homelessness and the accompanying problems are to most of them just the "cost of doing business."
Their lives should be made more difficult as to incentivize them to want to change their ways. Of course there should be certain exceptions, such as when it's too hot or cold out. But we have to somehow give them a reason to change their ways.
At least where I live there are systems in place to help you get off the street. I would know as I was homeless for a year living on the street. But when COVID hit, I finally had enough and decided to get help. I went to a shelter, got signed up for disability and through BC housing I got myself a room in a shared complex. I'm proof that when you really try, there is help out there for you to make your life better.
Now bring on the downvotes.

Yeah but from the outside looking in, all you see is slightly slower moving chubby guy not put their cart back. A mile in their shoes and all that.
Hey, I have asthma and there have been days where I've barely had enough energy to make it back to my car let alone put a cart back. Not everybody is having the same day you are.
It does happen. Guess how I know...
we get 12 hotdogs in a pack and 12 buns in a pack.
pretty much. You can easily get a 1000w motor up to 32 mpg/50 kph. And I fully understand the concern. ebikes were outlawed in an American city after an ebike collided with a senior citizen, killing her. Which is why I feel they should focus on speed instead of power. There's always some idiot (looking at you Sur Ronster) who will do dangerous stuff without a care about others safety. And they ruin it for everyone else.
Unless you don't HAVE 600 dollars.
Nvidia just said it won't begin to ramp production of its new Blackwell GPUs until its fourth fiscal quarter, which begins in November. Nvidia just reported a record $30 billion quarter, and the vast majority of it ($22B) was data center compute... will it set aside some of its latest and greatest ...
I was just thinking about this the other day. For example, I used to follow F1nn5ter. I liked his whole schtick. The "Stop Making Me Dress Like A Girl Dammit!" was fun in the beginning. A few times I contemplated sending a funny paid message, but never did.
He has obviously gone through some major changes since then. And I'm happy he's figuring his shit out. Even has an amazing girlfriend.
But I don't understand people who still send him 100 dollar dono's anymore. I mean His Only Fans is estimated to be pulling in 250K a month. He owns two houses and just recently purchased a Maybach (probably used, but still)
He has come right out and said he only streams on twitch because he want's to, not because he needs to.
So I'm just curious if any of you follow or donate any big streamer?
I usually buy the cheap (for us) 2.79 CAD bag of 1kg popping corn. the 850g Orville Redenbacher is 5.79.
However, they were out of the cheap stuff so I was forced to get the ol' Orville's stuff. And I found it there were less kernels unpopped, the popcorn was fluffier and weirdly, it sounded louder too. (same stove, pot and everything)
So my question is why is there such a quality difference? Is there a difference in how it's prepared before shipping? Anyone know?
Does anyone know where I can buy Silverfish style Batteries in Canada?
I want to get another battery for my ebike but everything I've seen online ships from China and I'm worried about getting scammed/wrong product.
The company I bought my bike from is in America and they won't ship batteries into Canada.
My battery is a silverfish style with a 4 pin connector port, a canon head charger port and it's dimensions are 390mm X 75mm X 110 mm.
It's 48v 15AH.
Any help would be appreciated.

I recently booted the game up and forgot about the problem. Here's the thing. The game was able to do so on my old 2TB super cheap NVME drive. But I upgraded to a WD Black 4TB drive and that when the problems started.
I'm sure a major portion of the problem is I have a Intel Arc A770 card. runs the game smoothly at 60fps locked on extreme settings (as long as ray tracing it turned completely off.) But Intels monitor combining software is HORRIBLE!
I have tried the hack of using SRWE to get around it, but even doing that the screen still defaults to 1920X1080.
was just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions for getting my triple monitor setup working again?
I'm 52. And in my entire adult life I've never made Jello. How about you?
I wrote here earlier about being unable to turn off my microphone. My headset had a removable mike. So in the end in order to fix it I just unplugged the mike.
I'm using an older pair of IEM's I have, and the problem resurfaced. I did all the steps turned off microphone in the settings, even went through device manager to turn it off. Was still getting sound.
What finally worked was going into speakers, and sliding the "Rear Pink In" slider all the way down. It's still not off, but at least i can't hear myself breath anymore.
would anyone know why this is happening?
The motherboard is a Gigabyte Z790 UD AC
Well I did it. I bought it. And the winner is...
The Hitway BK6M.The main reason was price. I got it for $999.00 CAD. It was also the quickest shipper from amazon arriving by this Friday. everyone else was minimum July 4 or longer.
I was sorely tempted to get the Wildeway FW11S due to it's 32AH sized battery. but the battery weighs almost 20lbs by itself. I am going to be buying extra batteries for longer range, and the most I could carry would be 1 extra with the Wildeway. where for the same weight with the Hitway's battery I could get 3 extra. so I could carry 80AH's with me VS only 64AH with the Wildeway.
I am looking forward to going out and riding. I have been stuck in this house for so long I'm going stir crazy. I will get back to you and let you folks know how it's going.
Final Question. E-Bike or Electric scooter?
I am going to make my purchase this Wednesday. And a late addition to the fold is an electric scooter.
Now why I am considering an electric scooter, is I live in Vancouver's downtown east side. It's basically where hopes and dreams go to die. so It's not the nicest neighborhood. and I am worried about theft. a scooter would be alot more easily secured. I could basically take it inside with me wherever I go. And it's alot easier to take it on transit. Plus the ones I'm looking at have a supposed range or 60+ Km's but even if I only got half that It would be good.
The only downside is no swappable battery which you get with most e-bikes.
So which would you choose? e-bike or scooter?
