    Exactly. Why can’t it be on every platform, like HBO? Sure, the exclusivity commands billions. But could they lower the price and make it up in volume? And NFL could sell a team only package direct to consumers.

    2 very obvious calls missed that would’ve been +30 yards for the Chargers in the first quarter.

    Nice to see Lawrence have an ok game. Unfortunately I benched him for Purdy this week. Good for my wife though, as she has him in her 1st year playing. It’s been frustrating for her seeing some of her top picks underperforming week after week.

    I’m so mad at myself for not anticipating Jones being out (I follow Packers) and putting him on Flex, so Swift could get points on Thursday. Instead, I left Swift on the bench and put Jamaal Williams for Jones. He just looked so happy getting stretched last week I thought he would be fine. GB probably being conservative, making sure all the stars are ready for the home opener next week.

    Last year, I shared a team with my son. This year, I’ve got 3 teams my son has 2, and my wife 1. It’s a little overwhelming to keep track of. Should get 2/3 as long as G Wilson gets the ball.

    How many ISP choices do you have?

    I’m outside of Milwaukee. Was paying Spectrum $75 for 300/20 (I think), no cap. Only other option is DSL. They finally buried fiber in the back yard earlier this summer, but haven’t turned it on yet. Got a great deal for T-mobile home internet, $25 for about 300/75, no cap.

    National Lemmy League?

    I only started doing fantasy last year with my son, since he had an interest in football. Last year we did an ESPN league. This year we're doing a parent/kid league on Yahoo, but I absolutely cannot stand the app. so I vote ESPN.

    The Packers were fun to watch. Love is going to do just fine as QB1. Lots of team energy on both sides of the ball.

    Linking Smart bulbs with a hard switch

    I recently added a Hue bridge with 2 bulbs that are in lamps. I did set them up in HomeKit to act as 1 accessory. Obviously the lamps need to be "on" in order to work through the Home app/Siri. But I am wondering if there's a way through Automations to turn on both bulbs through a real dumb switch? Obviously one bulb would need power on and just be off in software.

    Marty, I'm sorry, but the only power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning…. Unfortunately, you never know when or where it's ever gonna strike.

    I thought the actor who did the MoCap for Tarkin actually looked a lot like Cushing, and they could have easily aged him up with makeup.

    Spreadsheet (Numbers) for the monthly estimate and reconciliation. MoneyWiz for more detailed manual tracking/calculations. And for some reason I do still use checkbook registers as well.

    I don’t think that’s my issue. I’ve used the setting “connect when last connected to” to avoid those inadvertent automatic switches. And while I have used it with my ipad or Mac, not so much this summer. I would get them working after a phone reboot, and maybe a half day to day later they would stop connecting until phone reboot. Today I reset the airpods, hopefully the connection sticks.

    EDIT: I think I’m having a deeper problem with bluetooth on my iPhone. This page week I’ve also had to reset the connections on both cars. The only change I’ve made was starting to connect to my PC. Weird.

    I’ve been having issues with my AirPods Pro not connecting to my iPhone. It sees them, but always requires a reboot. Though it connects to my Mac no problems.

    Not quite what you're asking, but I use localtonet to get around T-mo's CGNAT. Similar to Ngrok and other solutions, but the price was lower.

    What’s the criteria? Simply originating in the Midwest? Or not available in all contiguous 48 states? Or ones that embrace their Midwest roots? Do gas stations count?

    Visited Cincy with the family last year. We like to try the local foods, but I couldn't bring myself to try the chili. Which is funny, because I like my chili with macaroni noodles and some shredded cheese on top.

    So to a lay person, are the speed/responsiveness issues just because so many people are using all the servers, or is it this instance, or the Lemmy software (or a bit of all 3)? I tried posting a simple link too !nfl@lemmy.world and it just spun the whole time.
