Today I'm donating my streaming sticks. I got a ONN brand 2k one I bought for 15 and I got an Amazon Firestick 4K I got for $3 from a thrift store because they didn't know what it was.

And I love the concept of stream sticks, I really do. Too fucking bad that corporate interests got in the way and now everything has to have a bundle of ads at every damn turn. Not even some of the things I'm subscribed to is free from ads because this is the future apparently, we're here.

Shame because I don't want to let these go and even if I were to subscribe to Netflix's ad-free subscription, that's only one source. Why do that when I can just grab a long HDMI cable, plug it into my desktop and to my TV and I can watch everything that's there, without ads because of the extensions I use to block ads.

Rombas. I had a knock off, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but it was just easier with a regular vacuum, and faster. I also feel like a normal vacuum, currently, does a better job
Streaming services. I got lazy, but them breaking apart everything into services has gotten me back to basic. Laptop and an HDMI I cord, I can handle the rest. 🏴‍☠️
Working. However, I recently changed departments, so that will keep me quiet for awhile.

Trying to draw using vector programs such as Illustrator. Prior to settling on my beloved (Paint Tool SAI) I tried to use Illustrator, and despite the benefit of being able to blow up a drawing without losing quality, it just never sat right with me and always felt awkward.

Depends on the style, I think. If it requires any kind of gradient shading or texture, pixel editing software. If you can get away with just lines, colors, and solid shading, vector is good enough but it'll be easier on pixel editing software.

Nowadays I just work on massive files so that I can shrink them to size.

I still like my chromecast a lot and it’s near 6 years old. I stream all my illegal movies and shows through it so I’d say it saved me thousands by now
