Amazon paid more than $1bn to take creative control of James Bond in c/movies@lemm.ee

I've accepted that the days of good Bond movies are over. The only ones ensuring high quality were those producers. I'm just glad they finished the Daniel Craig films before this fiasco started

Can confirm, excel is stupid as hell. Need to be a programmer almost to get it to do basic things

Anyone got any experience with the quality? Will it their products last a while?

I think this really speaks to, "It's not what you have, it's who you have." You could have millions of dollars and the biggest house in the neighbourhood, but you won't be happy with any of that if you have a partner who is terrible and mean to you.

Happiness comes from finding joy from what you already have rather than longing for what you don't.

My kindle has been on airplane mode for years and I read new books all the time with it, but hey, whatever works for you

This is why you never connect your kindle to the internet. Calibre forever

Why Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl LIX ticket prices are dropping in c/nfl@lemmy.world
[–] qwestjest78@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not even planning to watch it on TV, so not surprising people dont want to take out a bank loan to see it in person. If the NFL wants to keep throwing every game in the Chiefs favour, then this is going to be the result.

Winter Walking Boots (lemmy.ca)
 

My big winter boots I have used for the last few years got a split in them today. I use them a lot as I walk about 1km a day to and from work. I have to walk up hills and on ice at times. Which boots should I buy that will be good quality, keep my feet warm and dry, and last repeated daily use?

Advice on parts for a Linux Bazzite build (lemmy.ca)
 

I am coming from being a console player all my life. I love the conviency of a console, but I'm tired of all the B.S. Subscriptions, lack of exclusives, no backwards compatibly. I got a steam deck last year and I love it. I would like something more powerful though that I can plug into my TV though and game in at least 1080p with high settings. Ideally 4k with decent settings.

I am transitioning my computing to Linux and I like the look of Bazzite which is very similar to the steam desk. I would like to do a build that can replace my console. I'm thinking I should go Ryzen AMD. I'm more just wondering what components will work with a Linux build and if there are some things I should avoid. If someone has recommendations for a $1500 CAD build I would also be very interested in that.

How can I get updates about when my favourite artists/bands release new music without needing Spotify? (lemmy.ca)

I've been cutting out subscriptions and Spotify is the last one I would like to get rid of. I've transitioned to buying and downloading my favourite artists songs so I can own the music I love. The only thing keeping me with Spotify at the moment is the Release Radar playlist it creates for you. Basically I want to know if there is a way to get notified when the artists I follow release new music. I've been looking and so far I haven't found a viable alternative.
