My mom buys these cheap LED bulbs from Amazon and about half burn out quickly (probably 10% are DOA).

We have 100% LEDs throughout our fifth wheel (about 30 of them), and they are all still going strong (all installed in 2015, and used daily since then).

I think there's a serious difference in quality available and it certainly shows.

30 years ago I did 12 hour shifts at a factory, and it really wasn't too bad. It was 4 on 3 off one week, and 3 on 4 off the other week. The OT on week one made up for the lost hours on week two, and having 3 or 4 days off was pretty sweet. But it was a QC job, for a European company in the US, sitting all night inspecting small parts, and was pretty chill.

My brother in law worked at the BMW factory in SC, and they did 4 10 hour shifts, with the days off rotating each week. They only ran 6 days a week, so you'd end up with 5 days off every 4 weeks whenever the days off from two weeks lined up. He liked the 5 days off when they happened, but the rotating days off didn't line up with my sisters schedule, so that was tough.

Yep. Haven't been in the sub in a long time, but Futurama has been in our regular nighttime / fall asleep rotation since it was on AS many years ago (have all of the seasons ripped onto a Plex server now).

uBlock Origin on Firefox certainly works. There was a short period of about 5 days (a couple of months ago) where they were blocking playback with uBlock enabled, but it didn't last long.

The local .NET user groups in my region have dried up over the last decade, but we used to have a few great ones, and yearly regional code camps. The community that I've dealt with has always been great.

Xcode seems to get worse with each release.

The really basic things that it's missing are frustrating too, like bookmarks. This has been a feature of every other IDE I've used since '98 when I started programing in VB6.

A few versions ago they removed the ability to tear a tab out of the IDE to have it open separately.

Oh true, I forget I am on mobile usually for YouTube.

On Android the same combo of Firefox / uBlock works quite well, but of course the experience isn't quite the same as it is in the app.

In 2008(ish) we rewired our house (built in the '20s) and replaced every fixture. We probably had 25 CFL bulbs (most in ceiling fans), and had no losses for the several years that we owned the house after that. But I remember paying way more for bulbs in years before that and having them all fail fairly quickly.
