Because Amazon just have a shit algorithm. They don't distinguish single purchase items but their algorithm is skewed to try and get you to come back to get the things you got in the past.

If you're already taking about a product you've likely already been swayed by targeted marketing (not just online but physical/traditional too). And you only become more aware after you've seen an ad with it still on your mind. And this is the moment where some people say that their phone must've been listening to them earlier on, because they can't seem to comprehend cohorts and marketing in general.

Socialism != Communism though

It's okay to say you're a socialist but too not like communism.

I for one really like socialist policies like national healthcare which I get in the UK etc. But I don't think full communism is the way to go for a modern society. Plus the track record of every time a country tries to head towards full communism, the door is left wide open for a dictator, and someone takes it.

Use smart tube for TV

I don't think it's too bad. I can imagine those with some slight visual impairments it might've been awkward to see the buttons some times without a background for them

Does it have proper .sln support with a solution explorer?

I'm not being forced to use visual studio. But because of dev ops licenses we get visual studio licenses alongside it so because of that the company isn't willing (and rightly so in my opinion) to foot the expensive (for a small company) bill for rider.

Which is why I've landed on vs code.

Then I'm reliant on my current workplace rather than figuring out a consistent way to code at work, outside of work and at any other future workplace.

Don't want to have to get used to one kind of workflow to then not being able to use it in another setting.

I used vscodium for a bit but their latest C# Dev kit is locked to VS Code proper :(

I even made a cool bash script that would download and install ms vs store extensions and all of their dependencies before hitting this roadblock (to get the ones not available on open vsx).

Thanks for the password manager suggestions, I'll look into them when I get a chance.

I've been looking into firefox forks too.

I would like to keep contactless via my phone as I don't ever really carry my wallet with me anymore these days so maybe Google pay will have to stay. Bit annoying that it won't be able to be used on whatever browser I end up going with though :(

This is for my job...

Yeah Skype was already dead by then and when normies wanted to start using video calls on the reg, they ended up with zoom either because their work were already using it elsewhere or from being recommended by others that had that as their reason.

Or the windows phone too
