I bought a box from VSee, because a friend has one and it works. It basically gets every live channel (ESPN, cable network stuff, etc,) and has a large assortment of the streams (Hulu, Max, Disney+, etc.). Netflix content is about the only one I didn't find. The streaming is a bit clumsy, to find what you want, and some stuff doesn't work, but mostly it's pretty good.
I figure if this works for 6 months, I'll at least break even. Otherwise there are lots of services that give you the same stuff for ~$12/mo, you just have to have something to log in with.
They seem to avoid listing the actual content to keep themselves out of trouble. All I did was buy the box, connect it to the wifi and turn it on.
I like it a whole lot more than the Dems standing around with their thumbs up their asses. It probably won't go anywhere, but at least make some fucking noise.
I was just wondering when this was coming. I assumed it would be an insane tax though, but either way
Weird. T-Mobile just fucked everyone not long after the fcc allowed the American cellular service market to shrink down to three companies. Crazy how the free market isn't saving us money.
Yeah... But I don't wanna get nailed to a cross. Even if it is just for a day or two. That sounds no bueno.
I will never understand how people that strongly identify as Christian have never actually read the book their identity is based upon.
There's plenty of Bible verses about worshipping false idols, and greed. Here are a couple:
All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless.
Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.
...Yet Christians worship a ruthless billionaire and a rapist.

Trump will backstab absolutely anyone. He is notorious for not paying his bills, yet contractors keep signing up to work with him.
I just do not understand how anyone is still dumb enough to trust this piece of shit, let alone an entire law firm.
It's good to know that everything is legal, so long as it's an emergency or an executive order.
That showroom looks like something out of a Wolfenstein game.

You can pop out the water restrictor in the shower head pretty easily. It took me like five minutes with nothing but a screw driver. My water pressure was so bad that I thought the house had a problem. It was the water restrictor.
Why stop there? Why not making it 1,000%? Or a billion? Or 1.21 gigawatts?
Fuck every Republican for enabling this moron.
Not even a big knife guy and I love these posts.
It breaks my brain that people voted for him to help the economy. Without even getting into how bad conservatives are for the economy, Trump's first term had crazy high inflation, job loss, and economic crashes. Why would his second term miraculously be the solution to fixing the problems he started?

Couldn't you just use a charcoal pencil or crayon instead?
So... Nothing
Holy fuck. Fox is now openly promoting invading a country for no other reason than Trump wants it.
Even among the endless stream of ignorant brain rot propaganda that Fox peddles, this is next level shit. I am absolutely astonished that their viewers can't manage to wake up from the cult for even a moment. Reality is crashing down in plain sight and they still can't escape the tunnel vision of Fox. There is no bottom to the conservative party, and no hope for the idiots eagerly empowering it.
The worst idiots are the ones who never admit when they're wrong. Having the backbone to admit an error, change, and and move on speaks volumes.
Dunno. But I have purchased the kind for music, back when I was in a band. Much better than the foam kind. They also attenuate sound evenly rather than the drill thinking of adults in a Charlie Brown Christmas special. Great for concerts.
"I'm an uninformed idiot."
Conservatives are fiscally reckless. Look at every conservative president's deficit spending, and economic crashes. Look at the states most dependent on federal funds.
Even if you had zero morals and voted 100% on fiscal policies, the best choice is very clearly not conservative.
Superbox catch?
From my perspective, the traditional way to acquire content from torrents and a VPN.
Everyone is talking about Superbox, which actually sounds pretty cool. How does it work? What's the catch? Can I setup another device to use the same apps without buying the box? If it gets shut down can I fire it up through a VPN?
I'm guessing they host content from another country and sell the hardware at a big profit. But I'd love to know a little more. There are hosting costs somewhere... Is the profit model just to outrun those costs through hardware sales?

Duties fee on shipping?
I bought some hockey sticks recently. Free shipping over $300. UPS made me pay $50 on delivery for "Duties or taxes are due on this package." The seller did not list the potential expenses outside of what was paid, and said they have no control over this.
Has anyone else run into this (with anything)?
I have never paid duties as a direct fee for anything not purchased in an airport. Shipping was Canada to U.S.

Why does the snow melt in this pattern?


This is a sidewalk grip where it ramps up from the street. I noticed that all of them have the same melt pattern. Low traffic area when no one was out.
Just curious if anyone knows why

Gaming Mouse - Dead?
I have a Naga Hex 2, which I really like. It recently lost sensitivity to horizontal movement. If I move the mouse slowly, the cursor doesn't move. Moving the mouse fairly quickly, however works fine. Vertically it works as expected as well. I've had something similar happen to other mice in the past (different computers, etc.)
Is this common? Is the mouse broken? Has this happened to anyone else?
I can't think of the words to bring back an answer in a search engine.

Keyboard Recommendation?
My havit KB395L died. It was cheapish, but great for me. I should have bought 3, because they don't make it anymore.
I bought a Red Dragon Horus (k618rgp-pro) with red switches as a replacement. The form factor is fine, and I like the wireless, but the keys feel mushy and I make typos constantly.
So, now I'm looking for something with:
- Low Profile
- Blue switches
- Tactile (feel the bump on a key press)
- Full size (I guess I could go ten keyless)
- Backlight Bonus features:
- Wireless
- Hot swappable switches
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Vertical Bands Across 5x Photos?


The photo isn't very interesting, but it showcases the problem. I have a 7 Pro and my pictures all look great ... Except when I use the 5x lens. All of my pictures come out with these vertical stripes.
Warranty support says I should try a factory reset. That's a huge pain and I doubt if it will fix anything.
Thoughts? Anyone have a similar issue?
