i actually use ‘night light’ mode all the time now at home and at the office, except when editing images or video (and am specifically messing with color)… even on the tv for most viewing (it doesn’t have a mode for it but i made a preset that tries to mimic the effect).
i can’t adjust my phone but it’s a flipper and i don’t do sms or email on it, so the screen is hardly used.
be kind to the poor pfc, he’s paying by the week for seven years for that shitbox.
four of them were stung by the truth, the rest didn’t even know what the word meant.
an x64 laptop that can run anything you want, including browser addons or os ‘apps’ if that’s your jam, is clunky and ‘not suitable’ for “99%”? 99% of tv viewers wouldn’t know how to sideload an alternate ‘app’ or that they even exist. and ‘ugly’? the lid is always closed, it’s tucked away. i can’t even see it. as far as cost… used laptops are often given away. the one i use was someone’s discarded junk and is even new enough to ‘officially’ support 11 (it also does linux quite well).
the first time i watched the lego movie, it (the full feature) was an ad played during the trailer for the second movie–and it didn’t have any ads in it either.

that would be correct. get a cheap laptop… even a shitty one for $200 (new) will work for yt… hook it up to hdmi, get a wireless kb/trackpad to stream surf from the sofa. i set a laptop (a junky stream14 with emmc) to not shut off when lid is closed. it stays closed. i sleep and wake it from the kb (k400 early model). that is my streaming ‘device’: browser (firefox)+addons>apps any day.

dns-based blockers do not work on youtube. google delivers ads from the same hostnames as the content.
much of that extra grocery money would have ended up in the corporate pockets of nebraska’s food producers… not thinking of the children or the corporations here.
former resident here. you’re absolutely correct, and also compared to most of the neighboring states.
republicans have a super-majority in both chambers of the ohio state legislature, i doubt the veto holds past 10 minutes into their next day of work.
that’s fine if you have the patience for their shipping shenanigans. they sit on orders for days and/or ship from distant warehouses when you don’t have the prime sub.
they’d go a ‘no refunds’ policy first, which they’d totally get away with in the u.s.
she simply wants to hurt poor people.
it’s not a ‘covid-era’ thing anymore, it’s a permanent program now–one paid for by the feds, who will also reimburse states for half of their expenses to distribute those funds to those eligible… which really isn’t that much seeing how that most of the recipients probably already applied-for or are receiving other benefits for low-income households.
that’s what it was initially, reporting decimal ‘megabytes’ for hdd capacity. lawsuits and settlements followed.
the dust settled and what we have now is disclaimers on storage products (from the legal settlements) and they continue to use ‘decimal’ measurements…
and we also a different set of prefixes for ‘binary’ units of measurements (standards body trying to address the problem of confusion): kibi, mebi, gibi, tebi, pebi, exbi; which are not widely used yet… the ‘old’ ones are for decimal but still commonly used for binary.
so… a $3 a month increase to prime.
one that will likely net amazon more profit when you don’t give-in and pay the extra (ads being more profitable than subs, as netflix has realized).
at least you can choose to pay for one streamer at a time, binge, switch, repeat.
(for now, anyway… until they all quit the full season drops and/or start putting their catalog on a rotation like the ‘disney vault’ was to home video).
when they do fully separate the two unrelated services and people have separate charges for each, they’ll soon realize how many people only watched it because it was tacked-on in the first place.
