Made me stop bringing it. I wear my keys on a Climbing Carabiner and it sits right it is perfect. But fuck off if it doesn’t, it’s pure anger in metal usb stick form.

- Comment on YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50% 1 month ago:
Yeah I’m affected but will probably keep my subscription. Spotify has a shitty track record as well and the price difference is still worth it to enjoy ad free YouTube on the TV. I feel like it’s still a good value to be honest. But it also does suck to get squeezed.

- Comment on Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor 3 months ago:
Thank you!! I read the first article about it and was worried Google killed support for the cast protocol. But it’s literally a rebrand for a new product. Yes, they are discontinuing the 4k basic Chromecast but I guess it didn’t sell enough? I don’t expect any company to indefinitely offer a product because I seem to like it personally.
Not that I want to particularly defend Google, they do have track record of killing useful products. But this is not that.

The one with Google tv is an excellent ship for sailing the Black Sea. Get yourself a vpn, streamio, and realdebrid, and you’re set. Not that I would know

- Comment on OneDrive automatically backups folders in Windows 11 without users' permissions 4 months ago:
The client works fine, it’s just the virtual file system option that turns off after a reboot.
- Comment on OneDrive automatically backups folders in Windows 11 without users' permissions 4 months ago:
Yes, but I can’t get the virtual file system/on-demand sync to work properly. It turn off every time I reboot. I gave up after a while since it’s experimental for now anyway.

Thanks! I looked at it but I would like to stop giving money to MS. So my plan is to ultimately move away from OneDrive.
- Comment on OneDrive automatically backups folders in Windows 11 without users' permissions 4 months ago:
Thank you! I thought was going nuts. It’s been such a long time since I had think about whether something is synced or a way to set it up. With OneDrive I could just grab the files I needed from the cloud and push them off the drive if I needed space. It really took away any hassle about sync.
It really feels like moving to Linux is a step back 10 years when it comes to cloud storage.
I also tried nextcloud but the smart / on-demand/ virtual file system is experimental in the Linux client and doesn’t work as seemlesly as OneDrive. Besides being turned off every time I restart. - Comment on OneDrive automatically backups folders in Windows 11 without users' permissions 4 months ago:
Funnily, or sadly enough, OneDrive integration is one of the things I miss from my windows days. It’s just extremely convenient how it’s integrated into explorer and office. And how well the smart/ on-demand sync works. I can’t find a setup to replicate this on Linux.
That being said I don’t intend to go back and this move is insane.

- Comment on Uber's new shuttle service sounds a lot like a bus route 5 months ago:
We need to tax the fuck out of the dIsRupTIve vultures called venture capitalists. The only disruption they cause is offering an existing service with extra little value returned to society and workers until the competition is dead. Then prices are raised and society gets squeezed a second time. It’s fucking disgusting. The raised tax on these fuckers can then be used for public transport, amongst other things.
So, no, we don’t get public transport from banning Uber doing this. But Uber wouldn’t do this (or exist) if the investors of this shit company would pay their fair share and if Uber had to follow proper labor laws.

- Comment on This Windows tool makes it super easy to debloat and cut down ads on your Android TV 9 months ago:
On the Chromecast, one of the other reasons I got one. There’s some localised content I get to access like that.
I considered a VPN on the router but a) the router provided by our ISP doesn’t support that, so it would be another investment and b) I didn’t want to introduce a potential point of headache for when I’m not around. I.e. my non tech savvy partner having trouble with the VPN.

Nah, a Chromecast with Google TV is a super cheap and reliable way to sail the high seas. Stremio, VPN, some kind of debrid service. Works better than any legal streaming service my friend told me. Not that I would ever try to hurt the poor studios.
