Going through SEC filings is not on my hobby list.

Cars devaluate around 50% every 3 years, so if you bought a 3 year old car instead of new, you could swap it every 7 years for the same cost. And if it holds some residual value, even more often than that...

Some manufacturers even offer warranties on 3 year old leasing returns.

Mostly, yes, except addresses. Public companies publish that data.

If you have pets bigger than a hamster, 70k in your lifetime seems reasonable, even low. That around 1k per year.

And a different used car every 6 years is borderline frugal. My dream would be a new car every 3 years.

I don't see the data to be so bad. Even the house financing is realistic (heavily dependent on location, of course).

Charisma is convincing you to eat the fruit salad anyway.

Ditto

Lidl is also a big Corp.

Or TVs. Or people who want to sync between devices. Or download for offline. Or compensate creators. Or not bother installing 50 scripts and updating them 3 times a day. Or just do the right thing. You know, 99.99% of people.

Not familiar with Group Policies, I see?

Ah yes, the #worksonmymachine thinking.

If you watch low effort content you will get low effort content. I watch amazing content that is well worth the few bucks a month. Late night shows, stand up comedy, documentaries, news analysis, tech reviews, car reviews, programming news and tutorials, chess commentary and courses, architecture and interior design tours, sport summaries, popular science...

BTW, Walmart is a huge company, I assume you also don't pay there? Apparently robbing corporations and farmers it also would be fine, because "the products are so low quality nowadays" ...

It's more than triple for a family plan, but you share it with people and you land well under 5 euros per person.

Please tell me how to install chrome or Firefox on a corporate laptop without admin rights, I'll wait.

A Starbucks coffee is around 5 euros.

I don't want to look into anything, much less if it's less seamless, I'm satisfied with the default YouTube app on my TV.

You need admin rights to install any software.

How do I install it on my TV? How do I sync? Do I install on every device I use? What if I don't have admin rights? What if it's out of date and the ads play anyway?

For less than a Starbucks coffee I have a month of premium, and I don't have to play cat and mouse.

What about my TV, where I watch most of my content? What about inter-device sync? What about paying the creators for their work?

I could also shoplift in my local supermarket, but I'm into "that sort of thing" (paying for people's work).

Or maybe they are sharing the family plan with 2 other people and rounding up. Or they have a different plan. Or they live in a country with different prices and converting to usd. Or a handful of other reasons that doesn't involve conspiracy theories.

Not even close to the experience.

Might be some AP incompatibility maybe, I've never seen those.

XBMC didn't have drivers for video acceleration, but the raspberry pi 1 was able to play 1080p flawlessly if you used omxplayer.

Now kodi has the drivers included and the 4 can even play 4k up to certain bit rate.

The new ones are too expensive tho, a used NUC is a much better deal.

Debían 3.0... good times.
