Pretty much everything AI is a scam, I mean it has its uses but isn’t exactly as claimed yet. Pretty much every non phone AI gadget I’ve seen so far definetly is a scam.
I’m the same really I used to follow Newcastle but lost interest when they got relegated. I do try to watch the big events though the only one I couldn’t was the African World Cup were it was constant vuvuzella noise or whatever the heck their called.
Amazon Prime, like many services, is a DRM hell. It won’t go to over 480p on Firefox on Linux at my end. However, instead of a rant, I am interested in why this is happening. Say, I rented the same film from YouTube Movies(Yes, such a service exists) and the quality can toggle all the upto 1080p but the same title on Prime...
One of the reasons but not the main one I cancelled Netflix (to be honest I just thought the originals were bad and any I actually gave a a chance they cancelled almost immediately).
But yeah their selling thing like 4k at a premium and making it almost impossible to ever actually use it. Better off just pirating.
I’ve found a good number of negative reviews of Bose QC 2 and quite a few good things said about Sony WF-1000XM5 so I’m leaning towards buying them but would love to hear the general recommendation on Lemmy first....
I’m using Jabras at the minute they have much worse NC than the Sonys they replaced. Their one plus point is range and waterproofness but yeah for NC avoid Jabra.
I find the only app in F-droid very lacking, and the couple I tested from the PlayStore lacked many of the technically available controls you can see on IRDB, Global Cache, JP1, etc....
I don’t care about speed, bigger storage, or small price difference all i want is it to not start corrupting my files randomly, die really fast, be unreliable etc . i just want something to put my files on then delete em and add something else, and forget about it and have it work for atleast 10 years . I don’t really...
Not sandisk I’ve bought maybe 3 and they all went unwritable in the first year and all bought from major UK stores like argos and pc world so yeah they can’t blame that on online fakes.
I favor Amd for laptops the reason is simply Apus, I’ve a really nice modded version of fallout new vegas on my laptop if it was an intel Id need a decent graphics card to do the same. I mostly prefer older games so Apu is fine for me.
Could be I just can’t get over the timing of echolon suddenly being called over and Google appearing almost instantly
That said I still use Google just don’t trust it really I’ve always felt it was an intelligence company in truth and probably the echelons replacement.
Not many I’m entirely self taught and was into some dodgy things while I was into this programming.
I started off making password crackers in Visual basic I also let’s say experimented in trojans and taking over the api functions of popular chat programs etc. I used to do some really childish let’s call them pranks of people who argued with me in chateooms etc.
Never went much further than delphi as far as programming goes although I got surprisingly good at that but never in good ways.
So far for me it’s Konosuba and Dungeon Meshi. I’ve already read Mushoku Tensei and I don’t think I can stomach watching it animated, but I haven’t really heard much about any of the other new releases.
I feel like I’m encountering weird little tics and problems with my android devices, and those of family and friends. Just simple things where settings don’t seem to be consistently applied, or the os switches something back repeatedly. For example, my apps are set to auto update, to use data as well as WiFi, etc, but every...
What this really is, is only a shortcut to the chatgpt app, they’ve just made a widget which doesn’t even do anything the official chatgpt widget doesn’t.
How this is described as integrated is nonsense and more a publicity grab than anything else.
It really is just an oversized widget that just launches chatgpt.
I got hyped by the TV series so I will play the game for the first time (yes, I know, it took this long). I usually prefer to buy GOG version of a game but I saw the rating of FO4 GOG at 3.9/5. Why is that? I have read somewhere that there is technical issue of some sort which includes modding for GOG version? I expected higher...
I also got hyped by the tv show to the point I unninstalled a few games to play new vegas again. I honestly think that’s the best fallout especially modded.
So I sympathise but on my end everything is going much better than I expected the games running perfect and I’m really enjoying it.
I had an ex go vegan when I was with her she did honestly turn fully nuts in the fact she decided her cat was now vegan and began constantly trying to blackmail me into it.
Yeah that’s why it ended as well, my favourite food is a beef curry and I love a good burger.
Granted I don’t think all Vegans are like this it’s just my main experience with it.
My take on this is no they don’t. As long as they are truthful they only report on the quality of the product and prevent many people of spending a lot of money from losing it by buying something that doesn’t work....
I hope they do I bought a nothing phone 1 after reading promises of how they wouldn’t move to another phone until they had everything right etc.
Not only did they not keep it but after launching the 2 almost right after this claim they actively sabotaged the 1 the camera got worse the battery got way worse and thing is now super unstable and I really believe it’s on purpose as custom roms make the phone great.
The company is dead to me but I am kinda enjoying seeing the phone 2 users now complain because they are starting to get the same treatment now.
I’m not sure why I had it I remember the only things I bought in the lake district was that kendlemint (local sweet) and a tiny camera that was barely larger than the film cannister.
Oh I remember buying the little paper bangers that needed to be thrown at the ground to explode as well. Apparently that traumatised a member of the staff walking through the car park when I sent a few through the window.
Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing....
Yeah now I’m never buying a roku I think when amazon eventually manages to wreck my cube (which they really seem to be trying to) I’ll have to try something like a raspberry pi or maybe a small ryzen card.
I’m really not sure but The one thing I’ve decided is to take it out of another company’s hands.
Sad to see you were downvoted for this, I do have a huawei smartwatch which can go a few weeks and doubles as an mp3 player but gotta love the fact g-shocks basically go forever, are always syncing the time to be perfect and are just tough as hell.
Took me a long time to try a smartwatch but I’m sure my old g-shocks will outlast it.
I’m going to say I honestly don’t know but the guy was definetly messed in the head but I think he was a talent I’m not going to judge him because I really do not know (would I let any kid of mine sleep over him, no I wouldn’t but that goes for anyone else as well) .
Jimmy Saville on the other hand is hopefully in hell.
