Yea, it appears this is a going trend.


I guess they don't want my money after all; even if you beg


Canada


Did you have a vpn enabled at all?


Nope


Has anyone played any games besides Zelda / Mario Kart that actually felt complete and worth the money. I love love love the switch but getting really demoralized by the lack of titles I can play with friends; especially online.


Xenoblade is excellent, Metroid is excellent, Kirby is excellent. There are others but those are the primary ones which come to mind for me. Obviously they're all Nintendo games but that's what you get a Nintendo system for. You don't get it because it's the best option for playing third party games.


I've played Smash Ultimate probably more than any other game in my life.


Yes


Baba is You is great if you want additional demoralization


Bought it for 70% cheaper on my phone


Most Japanese video games are designed for solo play.


Maybe that is the case. But when the switch came out the marketing was heavily skewed towards "party" games to play with your friends in the same room.


How is a portable console about playing with your friends? It's about playing alone on the couch, on the bed, on the plane, on the toilet.


The comments referencing quantified scientists do so in a somewhat negative light. But it should be noted that in his research, he points out that the oura is one of the top trackers for sleep[0]. This is not the only video that he praises the oura for being pretty damn good based on other devices.

For sleep phases and mediocre oxygen levels and bad HRV readings. And on his blog he says he does use it for his sleep tracking, so yeah. I'm not saying it's terrible but for sp02 I can confidently say it's terrible. I use actual nighttime pulse oximeters from Wellue which is also a (larger) ring form factor[0]. and I can see the large dips in O2 for example, the Oura will not detect this despite going into the low 80%s (very low) when my mask falls off.

What bothers me about these sleep tracking devices is they are often "on the low" reccomended as ways to detect sleep problems like sleep apnea. This might not be done by the companies themselves but it is certainly done by influencers who are hired to promote these products. If someone were to buy an Oura ring because they snore (one of their marketing tactics) to try and see if they have sleep apnea there is a high chance that the app would tell them their oxygen levels are fine and then they'd never go get a sleep study (which cost less than an Oura ring with home kits now). Assuming this caused them to never follow up on that snoring again, Oura's (and other companies) marketing and mediocre tech would quite literally shaved years off this persons life.

When I asked my doc if sleep apnea could kill me if left untreated, he responded, "It WILL kill you if we leave it untreated."

Edit: I do believe in 5 years Oura and other similar products will have figures this out. Just not yet.


The Wellue is a great find, thanks a lot.


If we order it, can we get access to beeper lol


Same :(


FWIW, I know this is a simple app and all but the biggest pain I've ever found in expense tracking is no one supports multi currencies. I have literally one option to track expenses in CAD and USD.


I can recommend Splid[1]. Very easy to use, low effort expense tracking app that supports shared tracking without any signup or the need of an account. Supports Multi-Currency.

Try Lunch Money. Great multi currency support.

It doesn’t work for my brain but ynab also supports multicurrency.


That's what I use but their bank connections are so hit or miss and they always blame it plaid which is not the case.

I'll give YNAB a go


As far as I know YNAB doesn’t support multi currency out of the box. There does appear to be a “blessed” 3rd party plugin so you could try that.


That's a very good feedback, thank you very much ! I'll check if it's possible to switch currency without adding complexity for mono currency users.


Wont touch DO with a 50ft pole ever since they deleted all my data while I was on vacation because my credit card got flagged


This has happened to me too. They are strangely aggressive about it.


I think they already improved on that area. There is now a 1 month grace period if the automatic monthly billing charge failed due to insufficient card balance / expired card. I know because I intentionally kept minimum amount in my debit card for online subscriptions and sometimes digital ocean can't charge it due to insufficient balance.


You need the classic geocities trailing mouse text
