I remember this one. Someone else lost him, but he knew where he was and wanted to be there.

In September of 2023, Amazon announced the Echo Show 8 Photos Edition. It looked just like the regular Echo Show 8 smart display/speaker but cost $10 more. Why? Because of its ability to show photos on the home screen for as long as you want—if you signed up for a $2 monthly subscription to Amazon's PhotosPlus. Now, about a year after releasing the Echo Show 8 Photos Edition, Amazon is announcing that it's discontinuing PhotosPlus. That means Echo Show 8 Photos Edition users will be forced to see ads instead of their beloved pics.

"To start, we’re offering each Premium individual, as well as plan managers for Family and Duo accounts, 15 hours of listening per month—giving them the ability to enjoy as many titles as they want within that monthly allocation.

[...]

For those super audiophiles who use up their 15 hours before their monthly billing cycles refresh, you can purchase a 10-hour top-up to finish that series. Not sure how many hours you have left? Check it at any time in your in-app settings. "

No cost listed on how much the top-ups are.

They showed and talked about it in the keynote too. It's not like this is some last minute surprise.

New meds can start working right away, but it'll take your body a little bit to get used to it.

Make sure you're taking it as early in the day as possible. Meds are like caffeine, they'll keep you up at night. Not to mention, taking too much melatonin or too late can keep you up instead of making it easier to sleep.

All that focus and lack of despair is good. The meds are helping you focus on things you should focus on, rather than worrying all the time.

Stick with it for a month, be conscious of the effects of the meds, and if things don't get better, talk to your doctor.

Is this something you could do with tasker?

I'm playing Jedi: Survivor on story mode right now and this is exactly how I feel. It's a shame because even on story mode, boss fights in Fallen Order were still a little challenging.

You could accomplish this with Tasker if you wanted to dip your toes into some programming.

I've got a 1070 that I use for transcodes and some tonemapping where necessary and I don't have GPU related issues (My ISP causes their own problems). I can usually run a few small streams at once, and I have a PC that I use to handle files too large to reliably stream to my Chromecast with Google TV over WiFi.

I guess compared to your situation, they're fantastic. I have a static IP and copper connection, but they don't offer any symmetric plans. I'm stuck with 200down/15up and the best up they offer is 500down/25up.
