Mine is not based on my history as I run eOS and don’t allow any form of tracking, including through the three different keyboards I run, none of which are any good.

Someday I’ll find the one, but until then I’ll either mistype, get bad autocorrects, or have to hunt for what I thought were basic symbols.

I just want whatever my old moto had damnit

My keyboard autocorrected it twice, so I gave up and let it spell it wrong, assuming my point would stand either way, since it holds no bearing on the rest of the comment.

I run three offices, and I can tell you we don’t get any of that money. In fact we pay out the ass for whatever bullshit tech company was forced on us by insurance lobbyists to make you see those ads, while they also make the questionaires unreasonably long and uneditable so they can data harvest and make another dollar after tech fees, Ad revenue, service charges, and insurance payments.

But we can’t just not use them, because every new regulation is a 60,000$ fine, and they send ghost patients at least once a quarter to try and catch violations to rules they lobbied to make as difficult as possible to conform to.

My EHR system is 1700$ per month per office, and it has only made everything much slower and less personal, while forcing me to constantly do tech support for half of our patients.

Hippa is supposed to protect us from the data harvesting, but since the insurance companies own the tech, device, ad, and service companies, as well as most offices, they don’t have to sell your data, because they’re the ones who want it.

Click bait title aside, I legit wouldn’t have thought that was illegal. Certainly not arrested and in jail illegal.

There are beaches where bones wash ashore regularly, from old shipwrecks, battles, failed immigrations, or drug runners, and nobody cares.

That’s funny there’s only one in my town, and it’s facing the Lowes parking lot.

Not the original commenter, but what theirs saying stands true. The issue of “sounds legit” is the main driving force in misinformation right now.

The only way to combat it is to truly gain the knowledge yourself. Accepting things at face value has lead to massive disagreements on objective information, and allowed anti science mindsets to flourish.

Podcasts are the medium that I give the most blame to. Just because someone has a camera and a microphone, viewers believe them to be an authority on a subject, and pairing this with the “sounds Legit” mindset has set back critical thinking skills for an entire population.

A good point, but I do like the observation that the only problems Nissan has are with the two most important parts of a vehicle.

This is some pretty good spaghetti, just the noodles and sauce are trash.

Guaranteed this just turns Honda into Nissan quality

Not advertised at children, though

I use an add on called noscript. It’s a little scorched earth, but I hardly notice it now that it’s set up.

So I’d cut Google out entirely for the last year or so, but I still haven’t found a good search engine. DDG has been my go to, but it’s not great, and this old style Google seems to be close to how things were before all search engines sucked ass. Do you have any recommendations for alternatives?

Not that I have one, or will ever update to W11, but like why?

I don’t know about samsungs, but Sony and any android or Google TV is a breeze to hack. Vizio and lg are a pain in the ass but they can be done, so I would assume someone smarter than me has figured it out and posted a tutorial

Yeah it’s a good thing homework doesn’t exist.

The description of that device and subscription is so fucking stupid I’m not even mad. If you fell for it that hard, you deserve whatever they throw at you.

Burgers are greasy, that doesn’t bother me. Brioche buns are sweet and too thick, that’s what bothers me.

Stop putting sugar in everything. I don’t want a sweet Burger

Only for marketplace. Haven’t posted anything in years, and before that never anything meaningful.

If you can’t tell the difference in quality between zenni and OvvO, lool, or paradigm frames, you’re willfully ignorant. I wouldn’t expect someone who only gets glasses online to know this since you have no experience. I however do.

As for issues with lenses, I see 25 patients a day, and have for the last 12 years. I’ve seen a few more cases than you and your wife, or even you and your friends.

Your opinions are not equal to my education and experience. I am literally an authority in this industry.

I’ve designed frames and vetted manufacturing plants to find one that fit my standards for materials. I make lenses everyday. I troubleshoot and fix or replace eyewear everyday. I know what happens when a focal point is off center by 3 mm. I can tell when someone is wearing online glasses just by how the temples fit.

There are a few very large companies that benefit greatly from pushing the idea that they’re all the same, and you’re shilling for them whether you know it or not.

I don’t feel like quoting or typing out responses, so I’ll just hit your points.

1. No they’re fucking not. Not even close. There’s 200+ different manufacturers, and even individual lines from the same companies have wildly different qualities. I would know, since I work with them every day, go to several trade shows every year and didn’t get my info from Google.

2. Survivorship bias, and you just noted you don’t wear them.

3. This point is attempting to imply there is no difference in products, which there absolutely is.

4. My line of frames is not a “big name”, and was only sold in 54 offices in 4 countries when I had them manufactured in 2021. There is no benefit to me for anyone to go to any store other than the two I own, you’ll never bump into my line, which I don’t make money from anyway.

I’m glad you watched a video once, but this is my profession and I know better than you.
