Google have ruined their shopping tab while searching now, not that it was ever particularly useful  I search for a pair of shoes, size 14 only please! I click the links shown, size 14 sold out. Many such cases! This was working fine 2 months ago but they cancelled my order and I have to go through it again. No one suffers more than the big footed man.

Streaming media company Plex raises $40M as it nears profitability techcrunch.com - Mon, 29 Jan 2024 posted:Media streamer Plex has raised new capital. The company, which began as a media organization startup, has morphed over the years to become a one-stop shop for all your media, including ad-supported streaming, which now accounts for much of its revenue growth. The new round, which has not yet been disclosed, was initially said to be larger than Plex’s $50 million growth round closed a few years ago, but we now understand it’s $40 million, a rep for Plex has confirmed. The funds will help fuel the company’s push toward profitability, expected by year-end or just after.

I worked for a drug manufacturing company during the purchase transition for the 4th time since the 80's that it was purchased by VC. "Ain't nothin' good comes from this until they realize they don't know what they're doing or got into and sell it," my old-timer supe told me. Turns out VC doesn't know anything about drugs cuz those guys sold off the corporate assets and hard production assets the fastest out of anyone.

 that anyone would use a non FOSS software solution for streaming your own media, if it's not made by hobbyist turbonerds it will enahittify, learn to love clunky interfaces and jankPeople: I am going to rely on for profit commercial products in a declining economy where nearly every investment loses money, even though slightly less convenient non-commercial alternatives exist Same people:  how could the vc firm do this to me

Yes youtube I want to see livestreams in my subscriptions after all you're totally a streaming platform. At least that I could see somebody wanting who the gently caress wants ambient mode. If you don't know what that is it's what's messing up the colors of black bars in fullscreen and to disable it you need to be in full screen.

Got a new fridge awhile back, and today my wife tells me the light is out in the freezer. Ok no problem, I go in there and start looking for the bulb so I can replace it, but for the life of me I can't find it. Finally I give up and download the manual. Turns out that some models of this fridge use bulbs and some use LEDs. We have the LED one. Under the instructions of what to do if your light goes out, if you have a bulb then it tells you where it is and how to replace. However, if you have the LED one it tells you to.......call for service?!?! Are you loving kidding me???

Those aren't cheap parts, either

Either someone will chime in with a fix, or someone will help you with a useful alternative. You could for instance mount some always-on LEDs of a low power level in there, connected with some thin varnished coil wire to whatever power supply you have at hand. Repairing out of sheer spite is encouraged. God knows i've fixed up some "unserviceable" things solely because i disagreed with it being broken and "unserviceable".

Turns out that some models of this fridge use bulbs and some use LEDs. We have the LED one. This is starting to be a problem with regular residential lighting, too. Far too many are just 100% sealed LED lights. Did the bulb go out? Typically, the only option is to replace the entire fixture. And there are a LOT of no-name brands that are here one day, gone another, so good luck even trying to capitalize on any sort of warranty claim.

Fridges are hit and miss for part replacement. The ice and water dispenser after 14 years have gotten kind of loose, and one actually broke. The hinge is actually a plastic molding that is part of the entire loving door. Why wasn't this metal to begin with, and why is it part of the door? I made my own metal hinge and used small wood screws to drive into the plastic molding. It's all hidden under a plastic cover that does come off. So far so good, but jesus christ you fuckers.

finally had to restart chrome and they got rid of the download bar flag. why do they even have developers, leave it the gently caress alone. it works, go make something else. ui designers must take a special glee in coming up with new ways to maximize wasted time through the smallest of measures. Just an extraneous click or 3 to get to a thing that used to take not even a full click and they're salivating at the thought of the trillions of extra clicks they've created through devious design.

My phone doesn't charge very fast anymore. It used to be a real whip, like an hour to go from empty to full. Now, when I plug it in at 27% it says it'll take 1.5 hours. But then it says it'll take 2.5 hours. Then it says it'll take 5.5 hours. It's charging barely faster than it's draining at this point. Sometimes it still charges fast, but I can't figure out why. It being on or off doesn't seem to affect it.

We have two bathrooms in our apartment and the second one has a sealed LED light we can't swap out, and I genuinely wondered wtf. I thought it was just the cheap people at my complex making bad decisions to make Number Go Down on an Excel sheet, I didn't know that was becoming A Thing.

Guess how many times that actually happens.

As for planned obsolescence (I mean plastic parts what ought be metal) some of the controller boards I use have changed their box designs so they have proprietary snap-in plastic standoffs rather than the metal standoffs that have been an industry standard since the 60s. The plastic standoffs are cantilevered, and these boards and boxes are installed on industrial machinery so vibration happens and the plastic cantilevers break. I have old versions of these in the field with metal standoffs that have been in operation since 1996 with nothing but fuse replacements, and now I'm servicing 10 month old units where all 4 standoffs are snapped and need replaced and the boards are moving freely as a result. Just last week we had to replace a board that shorted against the box door for exactly this reason. It's bullshit, and each standoff is $15 (rather than $0.10 for the metal standoffs). It's pathetic money grubbing at its finest. wash bucket posted:I was blown away when I found out these were a thing. One of my coworkers was building a house with sealed LED fixtures in their vaulted ceiling. They absolutely could not be convinced that would be a problem one day. Honestly the best solution to this in my opinion is shallow cans with lips and snap-in LED adapters. Cans last forever, we'll be making LED adapters for them long, long after the sun burns out.
