Agreed. Though I think it's cool, it's gonna be spendy.

If it could be less than $150, or better yet less than $100, I'd be in. Otherwise I might pass.

Right? I'm seriously going to do this. I have a big bag of frozen nuggets in the freezer for part of my quick breakfasts, and just add water pancake mix in the cupboard.. why haven't I done this yet?

Been there, felt the pain

Ooh, yeah, that's a bit different... Not a good look

I was reading your post and I briefly thought you were trying to say it IS expensive, not that it is not. And I was like is this guy on crack, cubing is cheap as chips.

Anywho, glad to see I was wrong. I learned cubing at the same time as my buddies kids did, and while I never got faster than I think a minute and a half? They are well under a minute now, it's crazy.

I still cube occasionally, but mostly just to fidget while watching TV 🤷‍♂️ Also so I don't forget how to do it.

This is where I'm at too. I was literally just talking to my friend about this last night.

We both know of several people who feel very strongly that the pandemic is still in full swing. They won't go out of their house without a mask, they get their groceries delivered, they won't come to any social events for fear of getting sick, and they only work from home. They've basically trapped themselves in their house, out of fear.

In my opinion, which is only an opinion, I think these people have an undiagnosed mental illness. Some sort of excess anxiety that was triggered by the events of lockdown and the early pandemic, and now they are unable to reset back to normal.

I don't mean that in a bad way or a rude way, I'm legitimately concerned for these people and don't know how to help.

For your average Joe, COVID is just a reality we live with. I don't want to get it, but I can't afford to lock myself down, nor do I think it would be healthy for me mentally if I did.

Nah, totally easy and safe if you have a little experience tinkering with stuff like that.

The fact that he came up with the idea in the first place tells me he's halfway there. I think he'll be fine with a little care.

On top of that I'll sometimes put them entirely to sleep when I'm not using them. You get zero background privileges. I don't need you running in the background updating crap, when I only need to use you a few times a year.

Ah I see, it sounds like I'm saying it's Firefox fault. No I definitely agree, chromium is the largest market share, and gets the most support, and doesn't always follow standards, so some websites will have compatibility issues if they don't specifically focus on Firefox support.

It's just a sucky situation.

Fresh install of Windows 10, fresh install of Firefox, fresh install of Dropbox.

I was trying to log into Dropbox to authenticate the app, but every time I got to the part where I had to enter my 2fa it would say it was expired. I grew concerned that I was hacked and it was changed, but trying it on my old computer it worked fine.

Then I said fine, I had accidentally paired my Dropbox account with my Google account years ago, so I guess I'll use that. So I logged into Google, and then clicked sign in with my Google account, and I got stuck in a loop where the page was refreshing everything few seconds.

The page would load, it would say "signing you in with your Google account", then it would say at the top in red letters something like "sorry, you haven't signed in recently enough to do that, please log in", and the entire page would refresh and start the loop over, "signing you in with your Google account" etc etc. I left it go through several cycles, it was never gonna work.

It was about then that I guessed that Firefox might be the problem, and it was 🤷‍♂️

The only non standard thing about my config, is that Windows is inside of a VM. That could very well be it too? But edge was also in that same VM, and it worked. I only used edge because I'm trying to keep the VM light, so I didn't install chrome for a one off thing.

I don't know why I got down voted in my earlier comment, I'm not pooping on Firefox. I honestly want it to work, and am still going to use it. But the facts are facts, I literally just ran into this issue yesterday 🤷‍♂️

I recently switched back to Firefox, and almost immediately ran into an issue where I couldn't log into Dropbox. It took me far longer than I'd like to admit, to realize that ~~Firefox was the problem~~ it wasn't working because Dropbox doesn't properly support Firefox. I popped into edge and logged in immediately no problem.

I'm still gonna stick with Firefox, but it's annoying that it doesn't work all the time.

Edit: what's with the down votes? I like Firefox, I'm using Firefox, but I won't deny that I ran into issues with it 🤷‍♂️

Edit 2: I realize now that the tone of my message sounds like I'm blaming Firefox. That was not my intention. It's a complicated issue and they are getting a rough deal. Not their fault. I've struck out the offending line.

Bluetooth has a general lag of several milliseconds, tens of milliseconds probably, for me. But it's close enough to not bug me when watching videos. And I never have cutouts, not unless I walk very far away. Just tonight at work I was using my pixel buds, left my phone on the desk, walked to the bathroom probably 40 or 50 feet away and through at least 3 walls, didn't miss a beat 🤷‍♂️

My old BT headphones back in the day couldn't go 20 feet across the room line of sight.

BT has definitely gotten way better in recent years.
