Hmmm… okay it sounds like the subscription model does actually make some sense for devices that need to maintain an internet connection/IoT applications. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me.

I agree that IOT things need to be secure. Is it really too much to ask that apps/devices are made secure from the ground up?
To stay on the thermomix, all the subcription is is a connection to their servers to give access to their live step by step recipes. Surely that’s just a secure end-to-end encrypted connection? I’m not a developer but it doesn’t sound like buyers should be expected to pay the manufacturer to maintain beyond buying a thermomix/upgrading to new versions of the hardware when they want to access any new features.
I completely agree with you in principle for people who want their software updated, but there is some software that is standalone and doesn’t depend upon changing codecs/APIs etc. Something like myfitnesspal or a thermomix shouldn’t be a subscription, there is no major updates to how someone tracks their exercise uses a hot blender that justifies it beyond users being locked in.
In the example of thermomix, you’ve already paid top dollar for the hardware, getting locked out of functionality you’ve paid for stings.
Barefoot Investor was really good for my wife and I when we joined finances. Particularly having our own “splurge” accounts means we don’t need to ask each other before buying our own personal or frivolous things.
Lots of YT creators edit their face to look strange or unsettling. I’m the same as you, though I think it’s more the gimmicky nature of his content I’m a bit put off by.
I think you could happily live your life not knowing who he is. I will say that he’s a master at knowing what will make someone click on his videos.
Realize that one of the main determinants of your lifelong happiness will be your choice of partner.
Don’t get too serious with someone that isn’t going to elevate you, but also make sure that you’re elevating your chosen partner.
Realize that the cutting edge electronics that you buy today won’t be worth jack shit in three years time.
I like the memes, but I don’t know a lot about the person.
That’s a bummer, I still watch him from time to time but accept it as factual. Didn’t think I needed to fact check him.
Distrotube hits hard. I remember the video showing everyone his collection of increasingly larger guns was the checkout moment for me. Even saying one of them was great for kids. As a non American maybe I just don’t get it.
Gross. I heard he lost a hell of a lot of money on crypto and hookers, so that checks out.
Boogie2988. I thought he seemed like a reasonable, unbiased person when I was watching around 2016. Kind of just moved on with my life after realising he was just following YouTube drama.
Have checked him out in the last year or so and it’s not looking good for him. The really sad thing is that he could have just taken his money and lived a chill life, but he seems to want a spotlight and to feel important even if it’s because people are shaming him for being a washed up b list youtuber.
It’s hard to get an apprenticeship to become one in Australia after your mid twenties. I’ve heard it’s because your pay has to be a fair bit higher than the kids just out of school, so they’d rather train a teenager.
Can second the comment about tutorials. It’s amazing how your very very specific problem has a great tutorial, with the worst possible audio, that is perfectly solved by some random dude in his bedroom in India.

For what it’s worth, my job is as an analytical chemist, dealing with pH readings every single day, and I’ve always thought this was correct.
Isn’t it Potential of Hydrogen?
I’ve heard dmca is an issue there. I’m not sure how stuff stays up there.
Beautiful architecture and streets. A lot of homelessness and rats everywhere though. Bakery food/breads were fantastic. We found people to be a lot more welcoming in rural France than Paris.
Didn’t go during Olympics, this was pre-COVID.
