I wonder if it's region specific, I'm on Basic in Canada and it's $9.99 and I believe limited to 720p. This was my compromise to switch to with my wife to not cancel during the the last price hike, but she's just agreed we're done when this plan goes away. We've invested in a boat and will sail the high seas even more.

It is a full fledged customer support system too, not something it's forced to do. That's the entire service cloud offering.

The sad thing is that I bet all the competitors have a room full of suits and ties who are hoping this works out for HP so they too can do it. I can almost guarantee this will turn into a "follow the leader" game.

I can't even install software on my work computer unless IT and security have vetted it, questioned the company if necessary, and approved it. Government and corporate use of social media platforms should be no different. I bet the lack of privacy most of these platforms have wound be against the security policy of any company with a competent IT and/or compliance team. Imagine what social media would be like if all the corporate clients were just like "nope, not happening", hell, we might even have slightly more responsible social media platforms.

Part of my employers year end message was that they're giving us even more time off starting next year so we can disconnect more! Sure glad I got a good one compared to this tool. (we all get 5 weeks now)

I hate how every retailer is starting to turn their online stores into these Chinese marketplaces. Best Buy, The Bay, Walmart, the list goes on. It's just endless junk being peddled everywhere now in pursuit of endless profits. I feel bad for genuine quality manufacturers who just can't (and aren't willing to) compete because everyone is just buying throwaway garbage that ends up in the landfills in record time versus stuff with some semblance of quality.

As a guitarist, for example, never in a million years would I have found Chinese junk products when I played in bands less than 10 years ago. It's was all brand name music gear from well known companies or small shops run by fellow musicians. Now it's 90% noisy, poorly built Chinese junk that knocks off the big name gear, and well known outfits are closing up shop or consolidating.

I recently switched cell providers to save a pile of money, but the new one doesn't have call control like the old did. 100% of my calls over the last two weeks were spam calls. I keep telling myself the savings are worth it, but my God it's annoying.

Yep. Just like everyone that was going to leave Netflix when they axed account sharing, but then just made their own accounts and went on with life. I'd see a similar thing playing out here for all but the more technical users who may start switching.

A coworkers brother works for a big architectural firm in our city and said they're absolutely slammed with office building conversion projects right now. A lot of office tower tenants have made it clear they aren't renewing leases and the owners are all starting to plan new lives for the buildings in this new world. It'll be interesting to watch things start to happen in the coming years!

I snapped a probe of a bltouch from a forgotten print on the bed :( after that day I added a webcam into my octoprint setup!

On the upside, went crtouch the second time around because if had a shorter metal probe.

Even when I do tip, and tip well, they now add so many other stops in between my food and my house that it still arrives cold anyway. I've largely stopped using them now too. They were convenient during peak pandemic and our newborn phase at home, but running out to grab take out really isn't the end of the world again now.
