I run, but I used ridewithgps to do routing back when I was running with a group and they sent out routes for the long runs

Shit, I locked Strava out of my data by leaving when they started paywalling my data

I am not using any water sensors, so can’t speak to that

The gift thst keeps on giving :)

I opted out about the time they were releasing their second gen hub, so it’s been a while now. I’m on my second iteration of HA hardware (rpi5) now. Still have old iris window sensors I bought way back when I had ST. (From lowes). Their biggest issue is the battery life on them kinda sucks.

Which is why very shortly after I found homassistant, I moved all my sensors/devices over and decommissioned my smartthings bridge and never looked back.

I do not think the medical diagnosis of ADHD is gonna come from short videos, probably should have said ADD not adhd

short form, ADHD training videos can go away all together

So, a full on police state, so much for land of the free, and home of the brave…

I hear what you did there

YouTube showed me this new video and I thought it might be something old because I watch his clips . But no it was new and it was hilarious. I clicked in noticing it was an hour and thought I probably wouldn’t make the whole thing but was wrong.

Jack White was surprisingly funny, with a dry humor and his guests (both local) and Jeff Daniels were also a riot.

Worth the watch, at least IMHO.

Lifetime subscriber when it was like $75 bux

Setup and runs on my NAS (unRAID) Uses a small GPU to transcode as needed Shared only with non technical family members

Has worked as is for YEARS.

So, the question is, am I looking for something to replace a working free (prepaid) solution I have? That answer is nope.

That means I’ll end each day having only 50 posts remaining…

Even when I had an account years ago there was not a single day I posted/replied/commented/shared more than 1-3 times a day (1-3 interactions a day)

It was never my thing really so it was easy to remove from my life.

Getting a “new” phone number might be a way to disconnect you from that number if you keep it on the down low, but there’s a high probability your gonna get someones old number that died or lost it and has LOTS of people/companies that wanna contact this number.

When my son got a phone (and number), the previous owner didn’t tell anyone, not her pharmacy, not her friends and family. It took a long time to get all that BS behind us.

Curse you “Darla”!

I almost replied similarly, just means they didn’t sell many BASE models.

I live in a relatively rural area outside a city “highway loop” and I see them all the time here. Someone down the road at a small business owns one so I see that one all the time but there are plenty around here and often wrapped in some weird colors.

Great, I bought one like 6mo ago and have it running on frigate…

<sigh>

You can disable shorts on grayjay, of course you need an android device.

so, they enable it the least disruptive place (for their shorts) at least IMHO, because more likely people on their phone would look at shorts over a set top / desktop environment watchers. Hopefully it rolls out to these as well

Not defending Google, but how many employees do they have? Did they all get raises this year? I bet license deals from the music industry probably went up too. (No proof but assuming)

But I agree 100%, they are without a doubt no longer following “don’t be evil”. But it’s disingenuous to believe they’re annual costs are not increasing along with literally everything else.

Speaking for everyone?

I pay because I use yt music and my PRIMARY tv watching is YT, and I use one or the other all day long.

YT has no ads, and I can skip with the press of a button most creator ads so it’s kinda nice and easy. (Yes I know what sponsor block is and it’s installed on Firefox so one less button press on my pc)

Do I pay YouTube FOR the creators? Nope I pay so I can sign in / watch yt or listen to my music anywhere without jumping through hoops.

I also have / sometimes use grayjay on my phone (and I paid futo for it to support it) I have smart tube next on my Nvidia shield too. My wife/son use it mostly.

I sync yt music to my Garmin watch for running, I run about 20 miles a week so add that to feature I’m paying for.

I downloaded a handful of videos before flying to CA earlier this week, but the flights had WiFi so that didn’t really give me anything special ;)

Can I do all this without paying, sure, but I don’t mind paying for stuff I get value from.

Am I happy about $4/mo increase? Absolutely not, but it’s not gonna break me either. $4/30 is .13c a day.

Hah, whoops… I blame my phone
