Several local (but national chain brand) furniture stores.

So many reasons. One had better quality furniture on display than what they sold by a long way. Another tried to give me not one but two firm mattresses instead of medium and lie to me about them. Yet another got caught out blatantly lieing to my face about delivery times and procedures.

All of them had great customer service right until the point that they had our money and then completely treated us like garbage afterwards.

I fast forward half way and pray she still isn’t slobbering on some knob at that point and they’ve gotten down to businesses already.

Meat for the meat grinder.

Sounds like the Taiwanese police were under some pressure to make a big bust so they pulled out a box of cheap cables they acquired from the local markets and made up some public service maths to look good.

This is much more hassle. Apart from having to actually set up and configure such a device, every time you want to use it you’ve got to switch it on, switch your TV input and use a different remote to control it. This is far inferior to just using the TV remote to open Plex and navigate with the same remote. That’s without considering that Plex is more polished and has an overall better UI as well.

These are a lot of the core reasons why Plex is better. Setting up a media server is a lot more complicated than just installing the package in your favourite distro.

Plex is easier to set up and has more features that are more polished than what Jellyfin has. It’s also a more well known name and been available a lot longer and it’s app is available on a lot more devices including TVs themselves.

Jellyfin will one day be the superior option though once it’s more polished and caught up in these areas.

It’s the tobacco industry that screwed themselves over with these. They opened so many stores near high schools you’d swear it was a drug cartel front of it wasn’t for all the kids coming and going from them. Irresponsible greed backfired on the tobacco industry spectacularly here.

In Australia, most of the tobacco store chains were grey market importing vapes from Asia that had nicotine in them even if they were labelled nicotine-free. They also weren’t up to our mandated standards, often containing many nasty chemicals that people shouldn’t vape.

The industry also shot itself in the foot with these vapes by opening countless amounts of stores right up the road from every high school in the country. The one near mine has 8 within quick walking distance. They were selling these dodgy vapes to kids, often still in uniform like candy. It wasn’t unusual to see kids come and go from these shops in their school uniforms all the time. A few kids ended up in hospital because of these vapes too.

Personally, I’m glad to see these go and the health of our people will be a lot better for it. This article is also incorrect about the timing, it was announced some months ago that this ban on vapes was coming.

Probably one of the few useful bots ever added to Reddit.

We didn’t need a million and one spelling, grammar and whatever other stupid bots the place got infected with. Hopefully Lemmy doesn’t end up with them either.

In practice right now it can be a bit schetchy tbh. Finding and subscribing to them is flakey and searching can be a bit hit and miss too.

When it does all work both smoothly and seemlessly then we’ll be golden.
