This is essentially what I've been doing. Spotify is usually decent enough when it comes to recommending new artists based on what I'm listening. When I find an artist whose work I plan on listening on a regular basis, I'll j

This is something else I forgot to mention, but it drives me absolutely mental. Music vanishing from my playlists, old TV shows I'm watching are suddenly not available. Paying for that kind of experience strikes me as a horrid proposit

Sadly I don't have a proper record player setup here—only my CD Walkman, but I have plans for something else down the line. But I do have a healthy music library on my main PC.

Interesting! I don't think I noticed that before. I got used to just doing Cmd+Ctrl+F to do full screen, or manually resize windows. Probably not ideal, but it felt consistent at least.

Thanks, I honestly was not aware that "adjust window to content" is (or used to be) the intended behaviour. I saw apps that did it over the years, but I remember it being inconsistent even from one Apple app to the next. I also wa

It might escalate to that point, or it could escalate to something much worse that the current situation—a shooting war between NATO and Russia, for example. I don't imagine anyone in the West is eager to take that gamble.

Yup, I do the same thing. I guess I'm lucky because I rarely have issues with my own gear and the services I use, so contacting support is not something I've needed to do frequently. But when I do, I spend a good amount of time do

Those are all valid points, but software subscriptions still make me extremely uncomfortable. I'm not a fan of subscription services in general, but that's a little off-topic. Paying a monthly fee to Adobe in particular strikes me
