I do miss Windows Phone. It was awesome and the Nokia I had was one of my favorite phones. I mean, I’m sure Microsoft would have destroyed it if they didn’t already kill it, but I did love it.

I think the connection issues may be overblown. I'm not saying people aren't having problems, but I've had a P6P and a P7P and neither have had issues with 5G connections in the US or abroad. My P6P was passed to a family member who's still using it and hasn't had any issues.

I personally don't like any skins, and OneUI drives me nuts. It feels like they move stuff around just to play with your mind. I would also swear Samsung bakes ads into its apps. I also don't appreciate the Apple like ecosystem of our stuff only fully works with our stuff, e.g. Galaxy Watch and ECG.

Just my $0.02.

My VW is this way and it’s infuriating. It drives me nuts that Down is Next, it’s so backwards.

Volume should be up/down, and track left/right.

I’m curious if the left/right would be language dependent? English is left to right, so Right would be Next. Would Hebrew and Arabic be the opposite since they’re right to left languages?

Agreed, it’s not easy, and I don’t suggest it is.

I’m in a similar boat, living in a suburb in county land where the closest grocery store is 15 minutes away. There’s no chance in hell Phoenix will move away from cars in my lifetime.

My only option is to move to a city with infrastructure already built. Housing will be more, but not having the costs associated with car ownership vastly outweighs the cost of housing increases. But again, it’s not that easy.

The truth is, there is no easy answer to the rising costs. Public companies must make a profit. If there are more frequent losses and those losses are more expensive, the only thing to do is raise premiums.

Making the companies “public” like Citizens doesn’t fix things either, it just makes them susceptible to politics, which will always come back to bite.

Technically you are not required to have auto insurance. The law (most states if not all?) requires “financial responsibility”. This can be achieved by filing a bond with the state instead of paying for insurance.

However, insurance is far and away the most cost effective way to meet financial responsibility requirements. The coverage is greater and the costs are much cheaper.

Or, don’t drive. Spend the money on investing in mass transit and walkable cities and then you don’t have the cost of insurance, a vehicle, maintenance, or fuel. If only it were that easy…

That looks like the “Move” reminder. It will slowly grow to make the red bar solid until you get up and move for a few minutes. Then it will reset into the pieces. It’s used to remind you to get up and move.

I was prescribed a lot of different drugs before being diagnosed ADHD. The only SSRI that ever had an effect on me personally was Wellbutrin, but only for about a week. After that, even changing dosages, had no effect. That week the Wellbutrin worked I was a robot. No emotion, just “work”. Need to do the dishes…did the dishes. Need to work, productivity about 400% for the week, etc. I’m on Addrrall now, but it’s nothing like being on Wellbutrin. This was just my experience.

I wouldn’t expect an ADHD med to have an effect on you, or if it did it could be similar to your previous experiences with other SSRI’s.

Agree with the other poster though. Not sure where you are, but no state in the US bans Wellbutrin or Adderall. If you’re not in the US though, then I can’t offer any advice.

A heat blanket is NOT a heated blanket. It's merely a blanket that traps heat so your own body heat is more effective at keeping you warm.

I actually switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed from Ubuntu and love it. I know it's not as popular, but I can't see why. Rolling release, compatibility, support, it's awesome!

I'll try Teams for Linux. Teams for Firefox does give notifications, but doesn't support background pictures or screen sharing. Well, last I checked.

The only thing that drives me nuts on a regular basis is the lack of fully functional Microsoft apps. Specifically Teams and Outlook. Unfortunately I work with Microsoft shops constantly and need those two apps. Outlook PWA has issues and freezes constantly. Teams PWA just doesn't do notifications.

That's it.

But Windows blows and Macs are just too damned expensive.

I thought this looked like Bristol in Wisconsin. I can say it's definitely NOT Phoenix...there's actual trees in this pic. 🤣
