walmart was already getting rid of the 24/7 hours before covid. the pandemic didn't have anything to do with the decision. may have sped-up the roll-out some, but they were doing it regardless.

there really is an xkcd for everything.

started going downhill around the time they went public (2015). chasing higher stock prices instead of attracting quality sellers of actual handmade goods.

ublock origin and adblock plus do the same thing and can be configured to use the same filter lists.

pick one or the other (tip: choose ubo) for in the browser.

all the more reason to use an adblocker... and a script blocker if you don't mind the extra clicks to get a whitelist going or to temporarily allow them somewhere.

biden stammers twice, but otherwise is impeccable.

cnn lobs nothing but softballs to the orange one. still screws 'em up, goes off on tangents, spouts nothing but lies, rages about everything. declared the 'winner'.

'optimizations' and fixes targeting specific games that nvidia does are in the drivers themselves.

what geforce experience does is mess with game config files--and it really isn't that great at it, either.

gfe is basically just a data gathering and marketing tool. i've never seen a point or purpose for the user. it benefits them far more than you, and can mess up your own game settings.

leave it uninstalled.

there's also a fair number of students and graduates from certain countries or related to certain peoples that he might want to help in exchange for who-knows-what.

the one thing that is certain, is he isn't proposing it for the benefit of 'immigrants' or 'foreign students' or even for the betterment of america.. but rather, for himself. it's always about him.

the local theater (we had one in our town) kept star wars playing (and only star wars) for a year. it wasn't until around grease and jaws2 that they played anything else.

same thing happened for the other two films of what became the original trilogy.

basically turned me off to the whole 'franchise'. all the films star wars kept from me as a small town kid by being on eternal repeat in the only theater accessible to me at the time.

i did see the original first three films--one time each, the first week of their initial runs.

but none since.

that's basically what i had. a cheap laptop for a 'streaming device' and media player with a k400 keyboard with trackpad. connected to a monitor to start, then a cheap tv. don't have a 'media server' though, just a pile of hard drives (externals, or internals with usb adapter or 'dock').

the tv eventually did get hooked up to wifi but i only use it for a couple 'free' apps that require no signin and work through pihole ok. mostly the 'tv' is playing a random playlist.
