You’re kidding right? The company made $89.5 billion revenue in the quarter to September 2023. If they’re on the decline it will probably take a few hundred years to show.
They could lose billions behind the couch each year and it would be a rounding error on their bottom line.
The picture is bullshit, most people taking voluntary severance would be giving each other high-five’s and pumping the air.
“Could”. I’m sure it’s a fucken certainty.
Instead of Alphabet, they should’ve called the company Undertakers, because they’ve got a lot of experience dealing with dead apps and services.
Immich, is probably what you’re thinking of.
I am using the default launcher and while I get ads for TV shows in the home screen, I do not get ads for third-party products like chicken wraps. I can also watch Youtube without getting third-party ads during or in-between videos. I assume given this is not BS, the ads are not being served from the same domain as the video.
I run a Pihole, no ads.
Been there done that. I prefer the Nvidia Shield, easier interface to navigate with a remote, I don’t have to login first, it rarely needs an update, no noisy fans, I don’t need to keep a physical keyboard connected to it, it’s way cheaper, I don’t need to mess around with codecs, and there aren’t a lot of unnecessary services and background applications hogging memory and cpu resources.
I get that most of this can be fixed or worked around on a htpc, but that’s effort I don’t have to spend on a Shield.

Nice! I need to get me one of these.
As opposed to what? What’s a big boy phone?
I’m constantly amazed at people who whine about Apple, if you don’t like their products or their business model, vote with your wallet and buy Android. Don’t try and hack the system, then bitch when they close the exploits. Apple aren’t the first to lockout compromised hardware and they won’t be the last.
Orbit BHyve is a range of smart retic products that can be controlled by HA. I use their retic controller.
Thanks for the feedback, I didnt realise this was unrealistic.
Five of them failed and I had to throw them out. I’ve still got some that are working fine but I’m not buying any more.
I’ve actually replaced most of them with Shelly 1L smart relays so I can control the lights regardless of the switch status. This way it doesn’t matter whether I use smart globes or not I can still turn the lights on/off from my Home Assistant dashboard.
I’ve switched from LIFX to IKEA bulbs, I’ve found them to be cheaper and more reliable.
I built a pool water temp sensor using an ESP32 and a DS18B20. I drilled a hole in the pump intake pipe, installed it and now I always know the temp of the pool.
I cant find the original page I used to build it but it wasnt hard and there are similar guides online. Here is the code I am using on the ESP32

I’ve got an iPhone 13.
I used to upgrade about every 2 years because that’s how long my contract was and there was usually some killer feature I wanted. Now, new releases only have incremental improvements so I’m not in any hurry to buy a new phone.
I’ll probably keep this phone for another year or 2 as there is nothing wrong with it, even the battery life is still great.
So I’d say iPhone sales are “collapsing” because of a lack of innovation in the market, cost of living pressures, and handset durability, they just last longer.
