Have fun with the same pain, this time because Microsoft doesn't want you to use Windows 7... Because.. profit.

I'd say in the 10+ years of using Linux, and most of those have been with Nvidia. Maybe 5% of the time I've had an issue, half the time it's fixed within a few minutes.

Yeah, that would definitely not go anywhere. Roku isn't hacking into their device. OP probably bought a Roku Smart TV for like $75 (the cost is subsidized by Roku, hence why it's so cheap) and is now complaining about it. It's like buying an Amazon FireTV and then complaining about Amazon having control over the TV.

Edit: am I saying it's right? No, but sometimes it pays to read the EULA. If you're getting something for cheap, there's probably a reason for it.

You should be proud

Cats were working at CNET?

If you have an Android phone and you're using the default texting app, you are. RCS is built into both the carrier side and device side.

Essentially it allows for end-to-end encrypted messages and high quality pictures and videos.

Yeah, they added a lot over the years. My above experience was from like 8 years ago when I'm pretty sure it was just Central Perk.

I'm 38 and had to think real hard to remember when they had the foil wrapper and paper sleeve.

Local business owners don't stock their goods at the checkout counter at Walgreens. Also, even though I'm in a big city, no one makes something like the Kinder Bueno, it's not a simple chocolate bar.

Same, it's pretty damn ridiculous how much trash we generate.

They're my absolute weakness. I usually get two two packs and was like "oh they make a four pack now?" Thinking it would be less packaging.. nope, it was more!

Yeah, I ordered two end tables with shelves from Amazon a few weeks ago and they were like that. Each table had about 10-15 bags, and like 7 sheets of styrofoam.

What's funny is after living in NYC for 5 years and being forced to use reusable bags for years I got used to it. I moved to Miami about 5 months ago and I'm Downtown so I can walk to most places I need to go, and bring a reusable bag with me. A lot of stores down here aren't used to customers using a reusable bag, so I would tend to get a lot of looks haha I'd walk across the street to get my groceries and they would give me like 5-10 plastic bags when I'm like "I can fit like 75% of it in my backpack and these two bags".

Only the individual bar wrappings were the standard clear plastic (stronger and more rigid than cling film), the two and four pack wrappers were the folk-like wrappers that you would see on Kit-Kats and the like.

I can tell you for certain it's more than two packs of Twix. A lot more.

No wonder they're trying to make more money off of people printing! 🤣

A single wrapper and the cardboard tray would suffice. You probably don't even need the tray TBH. I don't think I've ever gotten broken Twix bars, and I eat them all the time.

For one, just like any other harvestable good, it takes a lot of land and resources to grow the palm trees.
