$100/year - why can't it just be a one time purchase?

any way I could access just a single window like this from my linux laptop?
Re:Turn an old junk phone into a Talking Jack-O-Lantern on Thursday October 15, 2026 @02:38PM (#50108236)
Neat idea but I think the phone would get "jacked" pretty quick. Why not use a bluetooth speaker somewhere nearby instead?
I got this trying to setup a gmail account:

Google hasn’t verified this app

The app is requesting access to sensitive info in your Google Account. Until the developer ([email protected]) verifies this app with Google, you shouldn't use it.

Is there a list of which LG tvs do this?

I just want to know if this is safe to use or not.
Re:Nvidia's $750B in Deals Reignite Circular AI Fears on Monday July 27, 2026 @12:47PM (#49072282)
At what point do I start taking money out of my VTI holdings and parking it in cash - there is no way the market keeps going up.
I had no idea Garmin made stuff like this.
I was hoping to hear some songs using these samples!

I bet we wont be able to stop seeing them after reading this.
Re:Why is Meta destroying its engineering organization? on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @02:22PM (#48559681)
They probably just don’t need them anymore. Obviously they are confident that their AI workers are doing a good enough job, and my feeling is that they aren’t planning on creating any groundbreaking new software anytime soon that requires the same number of human engineers to do the work. I think it’s potentially a canary in the coal mine type of warning for the rest of the industry. If a company like Meta doesn’t think it needs the headcount, then other big companies will likely soon follow.

I want it but I do not need it.

Does this work with Web MiniDisc Pro?
Re:To teach in the era of ChatGPT is to know pain on Tuesday April 14, 2026 @05:02PM (#47771481)
I'm in an online course right now (teachers college) that requires weekly discussions. I feel like every discussion is just AI responding to AI. As a student I think it's lame, I'm sure the profs do too. I'm not totally against AI usage as it is incredibly helpful with spelling and grammar, what I hate is reading meaningless, vague and uninteresting discussion posts week after week. There is nothing personal or interesting about anything anyone posts because its all done by AI.

One less thing to listen to on my radio scanner :(
What do you mean it costs too much to start businesses here? I’ve founded 3 start ups and have not had any issues with things costing too much. Not a single one of those startups needed much to get going and there was no red tape or mysterious taxes that got in the way.

Can you elaborate on the sim duplicate thing - I've never heard of that before - how would I go about getting one of those?
Re:Toys with the highest play-time and lowest clean-up-time on Thursday December 25, 2025 @12:31PM (#46385797)
Magna tiles are easy to clean up in the they stick to each other sense, but I still find them all over the house.

Yea, I was pretty happy to move from tapes to cds.
Re:School Cell Phone Bans and Student Achievement (NBER Digest) on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @12:29PM (#46137320)
The other side of it - why can't parents set up screen time and app limits, especially during school hours? No kid needs access to clash royale or snapchat during the school day. The phone should be locked down to "essentials" like the calculator, etc.
Re:School Cell Phone Bans and Student Achievement (NBER Digest) on Tuesday December 02, 2025 @01:50PM (#46124934)
When parents themselves also became addicted and decided it was easier to give their kids phones than to parent them.
Re:Sued by Nintendo on Monday November 10, 2025 @12:46PM (#45878521)
Yea, that messed with my eyes.
I've used calc every day for years. It works well.

Yikes
