Why do people do this?

So they can get a new car every 3 years when the lease expires.

Or employers could just move their work schedules to 8-4 instead of 9-5. That's all that daylight savings is actually doing.

I have a Pi400 that I used as a 4K UHD Kodi client. It worked great. The only thing it lacked was Doing Vision and HDR10+ support. Normal HDR10 was fine.

Now I just use the Jellyfin app for my TV (LG), which also support DV.

I could see how people 400 years ago could think that makes sense.

Cable. We have DOCSIS 3.1, which supports 10Gbps down and 1Gbps up. 35 Mbps up on a DOCSIS 3.1 network is atrocious.

Yeah, I have 1.2 Gbps from Comcast for $80, plus another $30 for unlimited data, so $110 total. Upload is still only 35 Mbps. It's ridiculous but there's no other options.

In addition to things like their competitive LMDh cars, they also have their V-Series performance road cars. The CT5-V Blackwing is the most well known.

I'm not sure if he realizes how stupid that makes him sound

It's really just games with kernel level anticheat that are a problem.

I'm not really worried about a Mpox pandemic as it only spreads by touch as far as we know. My concern is bird flu. We're starting to see more cases of it infecting humans and if it turns into a pandemic is will likely be extremely deadly.

Interest rates. Then again, you can go for other more reputable brands that have good interest rates. I was making around 5% with Vanguard cash plus for some time. It's based on money market though, so as federal interest rates went down, so did the rates for that account. There are smaller companies with slightly better rates, but IMO Vanguard is way more trustworthy than all these new Fintech startups and I know the FDIC insurance is legit.

I wish I had electricity prices that low. I love in an area that has some of the highest electricity rates in the US. In the summer months it averages to $0.55/kWh. It's much lower now with winter rates, but still looking around $0.40/kWh.
