Hmmm in Canada I can't even buy a tank of gas with that. Isn't that even the price of an avocado now? 😢🤣

can we prioritize Wi-Fi networks yet? in c/[email protected]

Usually this is handled by the access points. If you're running dual band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) you will get worse strength out of 5, typically, since it doesn't go as far or penetrate as well as 2.4. The access points will try to kick a client to another, better quality access point if they're smart enough. This is generally how business access points work. You might want to see if whatever ones you're using support this. Also it's best if they are both the same SSID, in case they are not.

Is 0.3 quarts extra too much oil in a car? in c/[email protected]

I just don't pil change, it might show a little high, then you run the motor to cycle it through the system then it levels out. Good enough. A little less or extra doesn't hurt anything.

Source: not a mechanic, but I know a lot of them and I've never taken my personal vehicle in for a change in 25 years.

Originally I thought this said "Las Vegas or doom level". I guess I'm thinking of 2040.

Agreed. The real problem is affordability. Most people are already priced out and it continues to get worse.

Another day, another disgusting thing done by Israel. And another day other countries governments just don't seem to give a shit. What the fuck.

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year's $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan is going up by a whopping $3, increasing from $17 to $20 monthly. The only subscribers getting a break are students, who will continue to pay $6 monthly.

Spotify announced the price hikes less than a year after its previous one last July. Before that, Spotify hadn't raised its fees since launching a decade and a half ago. I guess it was too optimistic to hope the next increase would also take that long, especially with Spotify's continued focus (and money dump) on audiobooks.

Premium subscribers should receive an email from Spotify in the next month detailing the price hike and providing a link to cancel their plan if they would prefer to do so. Users currently on a trial period for Spotify will get one month at $11 after it ends before being moved up to a $12 monthly fee.

Looking for the best way to sync music from spotify (lemmy.ca)

submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I used to have a script that would check a text file that I had hosted on nextcloud so I could paste in spotify URI's whenever I wanted, then nightly it would run a bash script that would leverage spotify-ripper (https://github.com/hbashton/spotify-ripper). It would see if tracks were already downloaded, and skip them, and download anything missing. It would take care of the album art and ID3 tags and everything, straight from the source.

I've seen a few suggestions, like lidarr-extended, but that does not allow you to plug in spotify credentials, for example. There's zotify, and ZotifyFrontend, but looks like it's not really able to "sync". I also found DownOnSpot but that seems like Zotify but different.

Are there any good solutions anyone is using currently?
