I’m a carrier for USPS, I have a guy on my route who often orders Volkswagen parts from all over Europe. One day he got a replacement subframe for one of his VW’s from Estonia and it arrived at our office pretty beat up. When he needed to sign for it he saw the condition and I told him that’s how we received it. The shipper sent it by just sticking the subframe in a box, no padding, no supports, just a cardboard box for a trip around the world. He obviously was upset and had another one sent as a replacement after filing a claim.

The replacement was packaged exactly the same, and luckily only slightly bent on arrival. The old one is still sitting in our office in limbo.

If you’re gonna ship something overseas or across town package that shit properly

Not even just that, but modern vehicles make it a pain in the ass to just put your wipers up before a snow storm. Used to be you just lift them up and they’re done. Now you have to get in the car, hold the wiper stalk up to the manual wipe mode and let them go up before you can get back out and lift them. I know it’s for aerodynamics hiding them under the cowel but it’s still a pain in the ass. My last 2 cars have had this feature.

The absolute bliss

Same with me when I was in Brazil, it was chugging along just fine back in New England

Actually I had an issue where trying to sign into my samba share caused explorer.exe to crash constantly, running sfc /scannow fixed it surprisingly. Glad that’s on my “these programs only work on Windows” system.

I don’t recommend anyone buy a Jeep, not because of the ads but because they’re built like shit. Quality has been in free fall for decades while prices have skyrocketed. Death wobble issues (Wranglers), motor reliability out the window, rust, more rust, just not worth it.

I owned a 94 Cherokee and I loved it, and even though that 4.0L straight 6 had problems at least it would still run with bad piston rings, mysterious battery drain and holes in my radiator. The new ones just can’t compete.

Yeah my 3090 K|ngP|n pulls over 500w easily, but that’s over 3 8 pin PCIe cables, all dedicated. Power delivery was something I took seriously when getting that card installed, as well as cooling. Made sure my 1300w PSU had plenty of dedicated PCIe ports.

Exactly, sometimes you just wanna jam to some mp3’s out of an iPod like the good ol days. It’s about the ✨vibes✨

Ryzen 1200/GTX 960 small build running Linux Mint. There’s a UHD blu-ray drive in it as well with the custom firmware to rip disks. Media is stored on my NAS that handles Plex and transcoding. The parts were mostly old extras I had lying around, just needed the case, blu-ray drive and boot SSD. Oh and the like $20 wireless Logitech keyboard/track pad combo for control.

My video editing software doesn’t, I’ll find the image I need for a video and will have to convert it to .png before it’ll even look at it. To be fair I’m running an old version because the new one is subscription based 🤢

Brother I can’t remember why I walked into the other room, let alone something that happened 180,000 years ago 🙄

Same here, had Firefox installed since I got this phone in September and it’s still off (also just checked)

To add to that, most of the time there are easy work arounds like just using the apps browser version instead of an app. The only thing I’ve had a couple times was my keyboards just wouldn’t pop up. No matter what I did the keyboards were dead for about 3 minutes each time it happened, they started to work again but it’s just a quirk of a privacy focused OS

I hate this fucking timeline so goddamn much

Interesting, I haven’t had any issues with things loading with mine, maybe it’s your adlists causing issues? Try disabling some, there might be false positives in there giving you issues

This is truly what you were eating in this soup as a kid, WAS IT WORTH IT???

I dumped Spooterfy over a year ago now, moved all my liked song library to Tidal. I moved to AntennaPod for podcasts too. I never really make playlists, Tidals mixes are usually pretty good. The daily discovery is leagues above Spotify’s weekly shit that would constantly play songs from artists I had blocked. No Spotify, I do not want to be ear raped by 100 Gecs I told you this!

They pay artists better and it’s been a much better experience. My only issue was I couldn’t easily like songs from the notification bar, but that was added a while ago in an update. It has started playing the same songs frequently lately, but thats not the worst I guess.

Obviously if you care about supporting your artists, buy thier CDs, vinyls (if you’re into that) or buy them digitally on Bandcamp, streaming doesn’t pay as much as direct support.

This reads as an ad but I’m genuinely just a satisfied user. Fuck Spotify.

As someone else here mentioned, Pandora is still a viable option too, hell my mom uses Pandora.

I did exactly the same thing, I have a Galaxy Gear 4 but I stopped using it about 2 months after getting it. I got tired of it constantly vibrating over everything even after turning off all notifications on the watch. I got tired of going to look at the time only to see the “you’ve walked 10,000 steps congratulations!” screen. I work outside and always have my hands full, I can’t just swipe it away, I need to see the time.

I wanted it for seeing the time and knowing who’s calling me without having to dig my phone out of my pocket. Got a G-Shock that shows me time, date and day of the week and I haven’t worn the Galaxy watch since. Added benefit is not having to charge the damn thing every night too.

I’ve had liquor shipped before(in the US), usually you just have to show ID that you’re 21 and have to sign for it at delivery.
