Definitely the biggest issue that I face. Managable, but frustrating at times.

While I mostly agree, the duplication of shared links is definitely a problem that is frustrating once you have a setup you like and follow a few similar communities.
I think most places have a senior freeze, so once you qualify it doesn't go up anymore.
I don't see how running high beams held you see when there is oncoming cars with brighter lights. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that older cars are smaller and lower?
I am not disputing new cars have higher brightness on regular lights, that absolutely is true. Though running high beams throws light both forward and up toward the oncoming drivers eyes.
I don't disagree. There are plenty of led upgrade kits that are way too bright regularly and also probably misaligned causing them to be double bad. Brighter than normal and aimed directly into your eyes.
I'm with you though, driving at night used to be a lot different and more enjoyable than it is today with all these extremely bright lights pointed at your eyes.
It isn't just you. I see it all the time where I live in Chicago. I think it must be folks in smaller non-led headlight cars trying to "keep up" with the natural brightness increase of regular cars. I really don't understand, its selfish and dangerous in my opinion.
My tinfoil hat theory, is that since all traffic enforcement seems to be lower since the pandemic, there's nobody getting pulled over and told to knock it off.
Separate but related issue I also regularly see it at night on road trips throughout the Midwest. Ten years ago, just about everyone would flip their high beams down when approaching traffic in the other direction, now its almost none.
There's a load of cars with headlights that are overly bright, but there is an even bigger epidemic of idiots driving around with high beams on as part of regular course.
In the city there is no need for those, ever. Let alone always being on.
When using the above concentrate, I'd go for a roughly 60/40 concentrate to cold water mixture.
I usually fill a 20oz yeti with ice, then add concentrate and water to fill it up.
That's being too generous. Some may not fully understand, but many do and simply don't care. Not sure if better or worse, but its not entirely lack of understanding.
I start with a 3:1 ratio of water to grounds, maybe 4:1 by the time it mixes. I do mine in a mason jar, so I fill the jar to 500ml with grounds then I fill that up the rest of the way with water. Its a 1.75L jar so I figure about 1500ml water goes in as its mixing up with the grounds.
Let sit for a day in the fridge and stir or shake occasionally.
This makes a good concentrate, which I then mix with water to get the right taste.
AI or "algorithm" upscaling fundamentally creates something out of nothing. That's what upscaling is, so it is generative because its quite literally generating "guesses" at what should be there, pixel by pixel.
Its literally the trope in movies where they're reviewing grainy security can footage and someone says "enhance" and its magically a crystal clear image. Its just that we have technology to do that now.
I'd agree there's a semantics argument that using AI for upscaling is different than creating new, but its just that semantics.
This is a big one. I have a lot of Google photos usage, and while I've tried OneDrive and PrintDrive, and while both are decent they don't really match up and I've been hesitant to self host immach or something because to ke the point of a cloud photo storage was to be part of my 321 backup strategy.
Getting bounced from photos for youtube usage would really be a tough pill, but it would definitely hasten my exit.
