It blows my mind that the 28 year old DVD format (720x480 resolution) is still being sold and consumed. I can walk into my local Walmart today and at least 40% of disks including brand new movies are on DVD. They look noticeably worse on even HD TVs (1920x1080) and no amount of fancy upscaling is going to make them look good on modern 4K UHD TVs (3840x2160).

I don’t use them myself but sort of get why people use dishwasher tablets, but laundry pods/tabs make zero sense to me. Not all loads are the same size.

ManosTheHandsOfFate@lemmy.worldto Self Hosted - Self-hosting your services.@lemmy.ml•Many will know that feeling ...17·2 years agoI’ve been trying to get my family name .com for years. I have no plans for it but neither does the current owner. They either paid for like 15 years in advance or they just keep reupping. I am not willing to make them an offer since I want it for the bare minimum.

I’ve been paying for a family plan for Google’s music streaming service for years. It has long included YouTube premium so the six family members I have on the plan don’t see YouTube ads. I guess it’s good that creators get a somewhat bigger cut of money from us, but honestly if I didn’t use the music streaming service, I’d be in the same boat as everyone else - desperately looking for a better way to block ads.

It has zero cell coverage from any provider. Apparently there’s been some NIMBY resistance to putting up towers in nearby neighborhoods.
