Polar bears don't find food as readily as Grizzly bears. If a Grizzly hesitates on a salmon, it'll find another salmon.

If a Polar hesitates on a penguin, it could starve.

Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor in c/technology@lemmy.world

ITT: People who don't know as much as me.

All they killed was the branding. The Chromecast with Google TV was such a far cry from an OG Chromecast that it was stupid for them to have the same name.

OG Chromecast could only cast and did not have a remote. The CCwGT did still support casting, but also had a remote and a real UI.

The TV streamer is just the CCwGT in a fancy shell with probably a more powerful processor. I'll bet money that it still supports casting, and can only do pretty much exactly what the CCwGT could do.

You can install LineageOS on one of the models of Chromecast for Android TV.

Now there's the delima. You find yourself a way to make money that isn't working, and everyone else will start doing it. When everyone is doing it, some people will start to invent in doing it (education for example). These people will do better, and take a higher share of the activity. These people, having invested, will be required to preform consistently. Just to make there money back.

Now you just have a new job.

Very pretty

Found a bat in my house. Story inside. in c/bats@lemmy.world
[–] butter@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Like everyone else said, just go get the shot.

A bat isn't like a spider or a mosquito. It has lived in your house for who knows how long. When a bat bites you, it's not gonna swell up and itch like a spider or a mosquito. Your gonna wake up with two pin pricks on your ankle or something and totally miss it. Or it'll salavate on your toothbrush or take a nibble out of an apple on your counter.

The shot will either be covered by Medicaid or any insurance or your government if you're not American.

If you want any help or information please reach out. I have plenty of generic advice (since I don't know where you live) and I'll help you in any way I can remotely.

If you want to be scared into it, just look up anything about rabies. It's literally the scariest disease I've ever seen. No cure, no treatment, going crazy, the whole shebang. It can also live in your body for years before it hits. And the vaccine works at any time before symptoms hit.

Looking for a good, cheap backup solution. (midwest.social)
 

I've been using pCloud to back up only the most important information. The stuff that's hard to get back if something bad happens. Kept in sync with rclone.

Now I think it's time to scale up. I have 1 computer with 4 hard drives plugged up to it. I want to either back up the whole things. I'm thinking of something like backblaze. What does everyone here do for backups?

Users with personal music libraries, how do you decide what to download? (midwest.social)
 

I recently made a post asking about getting spotify cheaper via vpn.

My question to everyone: how do you decide what to download?

Do you just grab everything, do you use last fm, do you erase music that you never listen to?

How are you people faking location to get a better price for subscriptions? (midwest.social)

Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.

Any advice?

Edit: I'm aware that there are a lot of solutions to get it for free. I'm aware that I can just download my music.

Currently, I'm running running navidrome for my downloaded music and x manager Spotify for myself.

My wife has an iPhone. I don't want to download her music. But she's paying full price for Spotify.

I also like to listen from my work desktop. I have administrative rights, but it would be really dumb to download something like this to my work machine.

In several countries, I can get Spotify for like $30 dollars a year for 2 people. This price would be worth moving to legal. Especially for her, since she's paying $11 right now

If we could suck 101% of the carbon we produce in a day out of the air, how would the effect global efforts to go carbon neutral? (midwest.social)
 

Obviously, this will probably never happen. In the best future for humanity, maybe we can drop our emissions enough to allow for such a thing. But more likely societal collapse

How likely am I to brick the fairphone 4 if I buy one? (midwest.social)
 

Thinking about buying the fairphone 4. Coming from oneplus 8, which is almost unbrickable, thanks to an EDL MSM tool.

Obviously, I'd be careful. But am I likely to brick a fp4 by ROM hopping? Is it dangerous enough that I should not go into buying this phone with the intention of installing a ROM?

Mainly, I want to play with Ubuntu Touch, PostmarketOS, and maybe sailfish. But I figure if those don't quite work out, I'll land on Lineage with MicroG or /e/, since that'll be stock fp4 in the US.

In Ohio, you and your spouse share an FMLA pool for children if work together (midwest.social)
 

Just a heads up, if you're looking to have children in Ohio. If you and your spouse work at the same place, your company can give you a shared FMLA pool, rather than two separate pools. Not sure if this is a common rule, across the country. And obviously your company can give you more as they see fit.

The company my wife and I work lets us take 2 weeks off with no approval needed, which is what I'll do, and I'm giving my wife the 12 weeks of FMLA. I only have 2 weeks vacation time, so if I took any more, I'd start eating my cash.
