Maybe that is the case. But when the switch came out the marketing was heavily skewed towards "party" games to play with your friends in the same room.

Has anyone played any games besides Zelda / Mario Kart that actually felt complete and worth the money. I love love love the switch but getting really demoralized by the lack of titles I can play with friends; especially online.

The comments referencing quantified scientists do so in a somewhat negative light. But it should be noted that in his research, he points out that the oura is one of the top trackers for sleep[0]. This is not the only video that he praises the oura for being pretty damn good based on other devices.

That's what I use but their bank connections are so hit or miss and they always blame it plaid which is not the case.

I'll give YNAB a go

FWIW, I know this is a simple app and all but the biggest pain I've ever found in expense tracking is no one supports multi currencies. I have literally one option to track expenses in CAD and USD.

Do you or anyone you know still provide "ops as a service"? Would love to talk to someone who does this.

This speaks to me. I will patiently wait for SSO capability. With that being said, if anyone has built scalable SSO flows specifically Azure AD, and want to help us implement it - please get in touch.
