I didn’t subscribe and my house burnt down.
…. I saw a pumpkin looking guy running away. Lesson learned.
That case is trash.. So stupid that the lid doesn’t close with the bluetooth dongles in it.
I allow the ‘YouTube’ thingy to stream videos sometimes for background noise. And then this video appeared. I had to stop and cry – for hours – about how much things ‘used’ to cost. The good ol’ days are over :(.
I feel like this is a good showcase a of why there’s still a lot of people who don’t emulate. It may be easy but its still a series of steps involved to get these things fully set up the way you want it. And in my experience of you just play with these things out of the box you’re missing out on a lot.
