What is something you dislike but still begrudgingly use?
  • You have full control of the level of opt in. You can go always listening, only in high traffic areas, or completely opt out of the network. But if you want to use the network, you have to contribute to it.

  • Google is rolling out their own find device network soon™ with third party trackers that are rechargeable. They're pushing it through play services too so every android phone in the world will be in the network too, so it's a much more global network if you are traveling off the beaten path.

    Bought my first guitar
  • Awesome man, I'm glad I could help! Remember you're going to be moving on from your first amp at some point, same with the guitar. I would just get solid pieces to learn on and save for the pro stuff later. A small practice amp that you can easily move room to room is awesome when you start since it can make your first easier to pick up and play anytime you're chilling out. Make sure it has a way to plug in some headphones so you can practice without waking anyone that might live with you. Always do the bulk of your learning/practice with a clean tone so it's easy to identify any mistakes. Throw on the effects when you are having fun or finding your tone.

  • Justin guitar will give you the technique and knowledge, Rocksmith will give you the repetition and muscle memory. The Katana is dope, though blackstar makes a fun little practice amp too. For a practice one just try to find something used on FB marketplace or Reverb.

  • No amp is totally fine to start, and it's better to practice unplugged and save up for the best amp you can buy for your needs.

    My advice is to do the learning on Justin Guitar, and the fun practice on Rocksmith. If you can, find some local peeps that are also starting to learn and that will accelerate your learning big-time.

    Google urges US lawmakers not to ban teenagers from social media.
  • You're right, I didn't realize the lawsuit had been thrown out. The fact remains the law is completely unenforceable without serious privacy violations.

    So long, small phones
  • I actually went opposite on my Pixel 8. A matte tpu screen protector gives you a self-healing protective layer that feels like paper and doesn't have glare. A beautiful bright display with a high refresh that feels like a kindle.

    Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.
  • I paid $ 79.99 less than a year ago. If they hiked it from 80 to 110, then hiked it again in less than a year that makes their practice even worse. They saw no dip in users so they thought they could go back for another bend over the bar.

    See my edited post to see proof.

  • The fact that there are multiple people in this community that have commented that they are cancelling their sub shows the value of sharing this post. Not all pirates are pure plunderers. There's a good amount of us that pay for content that is appropriately valued to them.
