Huh?

Finney must have never had to sign on a phone screen with a finger while driving before.
All of this digital theater of the absurd in a desperate attempt to engage people in the political process:
> The board of supervisors election in the King Conservation District, for example, in past years has drawn less than 1% of the eligible population to the ballot box.
People don't vote because they don't care. Not because they can't make it to the poling place. They don't care because they don't see anything at stake.
There's no app for that.
Although this appears to be something local so there’s a chance it’s not entirely useless.

(Slight pro tip, just enter in the stores phone number as an alt id - very good chance they'll have it registered)
But you're right, they're just going to track you some other way.
To sign up for their crappy card they copied your ID, something I’m not ok with.
In my experience gettimeofday() as a vsyscall is a substantial performance benefit to PHP web applications.
I read the list and added that in thinking it’s relevant to growing the FreeBSD user base.
I bought 8 Polk Audio speakers for $45 each plus a couple hundred feet of speaker cable from Monoprice and an 8 channel amplifier off Amazon which takes audio in from my receiver, which supports Chromecast and AirPlay.
I had the opportunity to do this because the ceilings were already ripped down to redo lighting.
The installers asked why I wasn’t going with Sonos and I said why would I replace a device which is literally impossible to become obsolete, requires zero configuration, and is almost impossible to break with a device which will maybe last 5 years if I’m lucky and requires configuration, software updates, and license agreements?
I get it if you have absolutely no way to run the wires then a WiFi system maybe almost makes sense. Otherwise how can you beat hard-wired speakers and a dumb 8-channel amp?
Surround speakers need a priority switch if you want matching amp profiles in the home theatre.
I have in ceiling speakers each pair connecting to a sonos amp. Outdoors, in garage, etc. It’s great - for me. I have Play:1s in bathrooms without mics and it can all sync.
Guests can also control it via phone.
What pisses me off:
- Lack of auto firmware updates at night
- Latency with external sources unless you use a sound bar, maybe fixed with port? The connect sucked
- Spotify premium required
- Cost
