What first world problem did you have today?

[waffleironhead]

I lost my school email early last year. They ga e me under a month to change any accounts over. Finally found somewhere it was still needed. My kids game account has parent protection enabled with that email address. Guess they just need to age out of it or something. Epic has been unhelpful on fixing anything.

The enshitification of youtube is accelerating. "We know you hit back to the search results list so we decided that what you want is for the video you just clicked away from to appear in a popup window and keep playing!"

They also made the playback speed control a premium option.

I've started to open videos in tabs instead of clicking through. That way I can go back to a known starting point without shenanigans.

I do that often, open a bunch of videos that look interesting then go back and watch them.

I find in the past yearish maybe it randomly takes lot of effort to get a video to actually start though, it will sit there and spin and have to keep hitting refresh, sometimes copy and paste the URL into a new tab even. It's hit and miss though, doesn't always do it.

What kind of package status update is this?

I don't get much from fedex. I guess they frequently do handoffs to USPS? Maybe they just want to specify it's all being done in-house.

So thaaaat explains why it's super late.

Fedex is usually pretty good here, but if the package requires signature and you're not home then it turns into a nightmare. You can't just go and pick it up during regular business hours, you have to actually call and then schedule a time to go pick it up. So that means you need to be available during business hours, to make that call, and then to go pick it up. Can't just easily swing by during your lunch or something.

They're normally fine, I just think they weren't ready for Christmas this year.

Fed Up is horrid. I’ll take UPS any day.

Fedex has a service called smart post, where they contracted the usps to do the last mile delivery. Basically would drop a net bag full of small packages at the post office for delivery. They have been keeping the packages in house as their network expands.
