Alternatively, if they are happy with their pro-grums, familiar with the interface, and not getting gouged worse than the next cable subscriber — consider letting it rest.
From things like being able to punch in a channel number to having the cable company to call for issues, folks in that generation might really prefer paying.
I’m basing this on my years of experience with a now 60-something and now 80-something. YMMV
The Spaceburger looks pretty dope.
I asked Tidal to expand on the why. Not the most satisfying answer, but I thought this was a fun sentence:
We can confirm that since your account was activated with TIDAL Direct billing, you can still use the Plex app, and since the partnership will be concluded at some point, it won't work any more.
🤦♂️
I tried it, and it’s a real nice way to discover stuff. I’m coming off the Tidal 2 month trial, and part of me wishes I hadn’t tried this functionality (because I will miss it).
Apple urges developers to not use DeviceCheck for anything beyond basic device verification, and if you're a developer that's also misusing it, then you should definitely cease that—there are probably more reliable ways to check whether it's the same user trying to access an account from a device or not.
I don’t think I care about not being able to erase the device ID. It seems useful to have this, actually, for back-tracing if need be.
Snapchat probs shouldn’t use the DeviceCheck services improperly. But hey, that’s just like my opinion, man.
More, not very interesting, info on DeviceCheck services here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicecheck
It was probably Aspen Dental.
It’s not so much the motivation, but the just doing it. Shia has a great video on the subject:
Similar - I signed up for my Spotify account with a VPN, as it was only available in Europe / UK / something like that. Have been paying for as long as I can remember.
With our family account, we had a house account, wife, mother, grandmother, and myself. In reality, only 2 of those accounts really got used.
The family verification emails were definitely annoying. But the yearly price hike with few important feature improvements, combined with things like audiobooks being for the primary account only, caused me to re-eval.
Now, my wife is on a student plan on Spotify, and I’m trialing Tidal. I expect to stick with Tidal based on lossless and higher pay for artists. If I don’t, I’ll likely swing over to Apple Music. Switching and migrating playlists is pretty painless, overall.
In any case, I’m glad I’m out of that abusive relationship with Spotify.
That’s not quite what I said. You have strong convictions, and I wish you well.

Poor advice, IMO. Going below BMR is ok, starvation mode is largely a myth, and, while nutrition is important, it is not necessary for caloric-deficit weight loss.
I’m with ya. I’d at least prefer that the increased security came with some extra privileges, like scan and go.
When in Rome, I guess. And I’ll try not to be a grump about it.
My thoughts exactly. I gain almost nothing with this design change, as compared to keeping the current or similar-to “bar” form and folding out from there.
I’m starting to have visions of Zoolander and his ridiculously small cell phone..
I just switched from Spotify to Tidal, and am enjoying lossless audio. We'll see if I stay or go here.
It’s fun to try a new algorithm, too. I used SongShift to transfer my tracks and playlists (have been using that app for 5 years or so now).
Came here to say this. If you do a 360, you turned around twice.
I have a Soda Stream and use powders. The trick is to turn your powder into a “syrup” first.
Mix your powder with 1-2 oz of water, stir it well (I use a hand held milk frother), and then put that into your bubbly water.
Maybe it’s just important to stay generally social with folks of all types, as perspectives and conversations keep us young? Is that a good maxim?
I think you hit the nail on the head.
Where you live is one thing, but how you face the world is another. As we age, it seems that we have increased challenges in the areas you note.
Trust becomes harder. Acknowledging our own faults and cognitive degradations becomes harder. Making decisions becomes harder. And desire to remain autonomous becomes stronger. Those things don’t jive too well.
One more thing to add: maintain a community of similarly-aged peers. Otherwise, one might feel like they are on an island.
This is based on my experience caring for an elderly family member.
They might miss out on the convenience of AirPlay, though. AFAIK you cant do DLNA streaming to the Apple TV.
AirPlay really bridges the gaps for me, wrt having any app available on my tv at any time.
Combined with steam connect, it’s a decent multi use box with solid, non-intrusive updates. Just wish the garden wasn’t so unnecessarily walled.
Just popped in to say that I miss Memmy. I switch between Voyager and Thunder these days.
They are ok.
Yet I’m still back here, on this community, telling y’all my opinion on it.

Access to Medicare Yields Increased Diagnoses of Undiagnosed Problems
> Key Findings:
- Patients are 50% more likely to get breast cancer screening and twice as likely to get colorectal cancer screening once on Medicare.
- Patients are also more likely to be newly diagnosed with lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, depression, and COPD in the year in which they have their first Medicare encounter.
I’m new to the Unraid scene, after putting off doing something other than Windows-based serving and sharing for about.. oh, about 14 years. By “new to the scene”, I mean: “Trial expires in 28 days 22 hours 6 minutes” :-)
Anywho, I ran into an issue with a disabled drive. The solution was to rebuild it. I solved it thanks to a post by u/Medical_Shame4079, on Reddit.
That made me think about the whole “losing stuff on Reddit” maybe problem of the future. While this post isn’t much, maybe it will be helpful to someone else, sometime else.
The issue? A drive ha a status of disabled, and it has a message of “device is disabled contents emulated unraid.”
The fix: > Stop the array, unassign the disk, start the array in maintenance mode, stop it again, reassign the drive to the same slot. The idea is to start the array temporarily with the drive “missing” so it changes from “disabled” to “emulated” status, then to stop it and “replace” the drive to get it back to “active” status.
Looking forward to more time with Unraid. It’s been easy to pick up so far.
The wedding was ok, but the reception was great!!
