WHAT BRAND OF MICROWAVE DO YOU HAVE?

Absolutely got 'em

Oh yeah I’ve already dual booted. Its mostly musical instrument related stuff that’s stopping the full switch over. Like the programs to edit presets on my guitar pedal and synth are not huge fans of Linux. I would say for most people though, you could probably switch them to Linux and they wouldn’t even notice

I don’t know if this is what they meant, but what’s stopping me from fully switching is that I have a bunch of peripheral devices with windows-only drivers

That’s casualism. Capitalism is the practice of eating the flesh of your own kind

Trump’s tariffs make Canadian stuff more expensive for Americans, so they’ll tend to buy less Canadian stuff. Without retaliatory tariffs, Americans only buy American stuff, and Canadians continue to buy American stuff, so nobody is buying Canadian stuff. This hurts Canada because nobody is buying their stuff. With retaliatory tariffs, US stuff becomes more expensive in Canada, so it encourages Canadians to stop buying American and spend their money in Canada.

Philips Hue have the ability to work without internet and it seems like a lot of people like them, though they are kind of expensive. I’ve used Sengled bulbs before and they were fine, not sure how well they work without internet. But I think for you the problem isn’t the bulbs reliance on the internet, they just seem very forgetful. For both Hue and Sengled, when the power comes back on after being out, they just start working again on their own after about a minute. No need to reset anything.

The main non-techy issue even for locally controllable smart things is that the big voice assistants are all entirely internet dependent. So even though Hue bulbs are technically controllable locally if your internet is out, Alexa and Google Home both won’t be able to do anything with them.

It’s only being added for the free tier

I’ve been fully on board with base 12 for years. Didn’t know about RPN until this post. I’m convinced.

How can you improve perfection?

I think it takes that into account. It’s going off the actual music files, not the artist/album metadata as far as I’m aware. But yeah that’s fair, you can download playlists for offline but it isn’t as seamless as just having the files locally

Ive never used SensMe, but from the description PlexAmp Sonic Sage might be similar to what you’re looking for?

Canadian here, we also had it. Hopefully someone has it recorded.
