Much as I like Winco for having a correct ownership model, they are noticeably dingier and shorter-staffed than the Wal-mart while maintaining similar prices. Frankly the store targets lumpen: the self service checkouts have a button to check your WIC balance.

wow you should definitely shop someplace else where your economic class is properly represented and you don't have to see so many poors and recipients of government help. I am very sorry that happened to you. Maybe Yokes/Roths?

Blessed to work in the airline industry where nothing will be updated because it’s “too expensive”

(our industry is run by liches with no real understanding of how anything besides airplanes and fuel costs)

Utilities that run the power grid operate the same way.
Not only is {new thing} too expensive, it doesn't have a 30+ year proven industry track record and you just can't do that kind of risk buy

I went to the grocery store last week and got some cheaper not-behind-the-deli lunch meat. I haven't ever purchased Smithfield ham before but the day after I got it, and ever since, I started getting facebook ads for Smithfield meats.

I still haven't seen an ad on YouTube, or one of those "disable your adblocker" messages. I don't know if I'm extremely lucky or if they're rolling it out by region.

I have to open multiple videos before the message appears.
Then it's on every video I open, for an hour maybe.

Last time I took a broken Craftsman ratchet to Sears for replacement, the person behind the tool counter dug in a bin of obviously used ratchets and handed me a replacement from that box.
That was probably 10 years ago. I've had that Craftsman socket/ratchet set for almost 25 years now. I still have most of the sockets and the 1/2 ratchet. The other two ratchets have been replaced by whatever HF's "premium" store brand is.
I also use HF brand electric tools and they have been working great for the five years I've had them.
They look just like Milwaukee brand.

In 2023 you dont need a VPN, and you don't need torrents to watch stuff.

Ever been to a porn site and they have full movies? Well they have hundreds for non-porn too. Just watch whatever you want.

Look I've got a complicated, 11-step process to steal and watch the movies I enjoy, ok?
The process is as much part of the whole as the movie itself.

I'm sure this has been said in this thread, but never ever ever connect you smart tv to wifi.

:confused: my TV has a Plex client, how else is it going to stream stuff from the server?

Tbf, it's wired CAT6 because WiFi would be too slow.
It doesn't have Internet access tho. This isn't hard to configure, but the average user probably won't.

What is the metric here?

I watch a show 1-2x per week. The client works fine and loads reasonably fast. I have limited amounts of time and loving around with poo poo that's above the waterline "good enough" takes away time from more important things

What's everyone's beef with Teams? Both my current and previous employers had it for meetings and messaging.
Some internal groups use the files section a lot and that seems sketchy. I don't use that portion.
But for calls and chats it's pretty good?

The stupid remote server apps we run for CAD, EDMS, parts inventory etc suck rear end tho and cost me time every day. gently caress you Dassault Systems.
